Kev you are welcome to borrow my pair of QSCK10's and a single FBT15" sub to trial at a gig/rehearsal. I'm not saying that to indicate that is what you should buy but it might give you some further insight into single sub/10" top systems. Just give me a shout.

Here’s the one that started it all

Another one from the 'Song Of Seven' album. Easy in the main but a pretty little fretless solo overdubbed that makes it sweet. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/take-your-time-jon-anderson/

Now we want a comment about fendersquires.

Now You're In Heaven - Julian Lennon

60s or 70s spacing?

Knocking on Heaven's Door - Dylan

The neck on the MV series HB range have a nice profile. More D than C so feels more substantial in the hand than a Flea sig (I have both). I put some Fender PV ‘74 pick up’s in my HB and a new loom and it sounds fantastic. (As an aside I’ve never used a 70’s wind jazz set before and they really do add some muscle and add in a more forward midrange. Very impressed by them!) but I think Gregor favours the 60’s wind. Kloppman pick up sets, especially the one Gregor likes, are about £300 per set so this will likely be a great sounding bass but as a one off series it’s probably gonna be spendy for the brand but with good quality hardware. The neck looks like a nice piece of wood and hopefully they’re monitoring the weight to keep them under 4kg.

I Hear You Knocking - Dave Edmunds

I use one subtely, it is a good bass drive pedal, from mild growl to full on distortion, not my thing, works great with Class D bass amps to give them a tubey tone, got mine for £60 on Gear4Music's web-site but they were hurt as it's price was now £120 but i had already bought it...lol

I ended up buying an extra DI box, the AEA TDI DI mono box, 50ohm XLR output, 48v phantom power, very low noise floor, sounds fantastic, hi-end DI with -20db pad, sheilded Lehle (German) transformer, fantastic for bass as well as most instruments, some guy & his band recorded a cover version of "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" using just the AEA TDI, very impressed, neautral, transparent with a tight low bottom end with no audable noise, sells for £299 but got mine for £192, well pleased.....

Trying to put a positive light for a fellow BCer mate

I agree. However this pic shows how hard it is to give that 110%. Lol Daryl

We're not a wedding band by any stretch of the imagination. But we've been wangled into doing a few. All of them were bad. It's usually when the bride or the groom just happens to like our band. I don't think it occurs to them to hire a band their guests would like. Daryl

The Commando green case calls for grey or black knobs if you ask me.

The upshot was that e bay sorted it out pronto and both myself and the buyer got our dosh...
