200W is plenty for me (with a 1x12 cab), but I'm playing jazz and if guitarists are present they're going to be playing clean and at a sensible volume.

The only way this mob could be even more bohemian is if they're not actually even French. I certainly wouldn't want to be sharing a bathroom with them in rented accomodation.

I remember trying an Elf into a Vanderkley 2x10 at a SE Bash a few years ago. It was total and utter crap. To get any form of volume out of it you'd either be red lining it the whole time or using it with an 8x10 which defeats the entire point of such a small amp. Fair enough, coffee shop gig. For anything loud, it wouldn't work at all. Zero headroom.

Suits you Sir, suits you.

Appreciated mate unfortunately I didn't win the auction.

That sounds like it could be a very expensive habit. I suppose it could be worse, though. At least you haven't discovered Alembic basses yet. If spending money on music gear helps you deal with depression then I won't criticise you for doing it. However, I can pretty much guarantee that sooner or later it will do you more harm than good because of the strain debt problems put on relationships. Also, buying stuff as a pick-me-up won't keep working forever. The novelty wears off. What then? If you're looking for happiness in material things you will always end up disappointed. It's easier said than done, I know, but it's better to seek help for the root cause of the problem than just treat the symptoms yourself, otherwise you're just storing up trouble for yourself. If chronic illness and medication are partly causing the depression, that might be able to be addressed by a specialist. Don't be frightened to ask for help. Depression is an illness, nothing more and nothing less, and there's lots of different approaches to treating it. Even if past interventions have failed, there's always another way to try. Sooner or later you will find something that works well for you, and then you will be able to enjoy music gear and everything else in life even more.

Not really fussed either way about AI. I kind of thought it was just a backdrop at a photographers. I'm old school that way 😂 Dave

I think for the more premium models yes but from the Bassdirect website it says the following but the pick guard is aluminium and maybe some more bits, not 100% sure. Body Wood: Alder Neck Material: Maple Fingerboard: Graphitex Weight: 7lbs7oz/3.5kg

Welcome to my world . That’s why I prefer using the Beatbuddy at rehearsal.

I was going to put this on Bass Chat Cats, because my cat was ripping up my desk for 10 minutes of this. It was so out there it was brilliant. It makes Royal Blood look amateur.

The stuff of nightmares. I like it.

My band (Felis Leo) have lost their lead guitarist, we've looked everywhere, back of the sofa, under the stairs, nada! So we need a new one, we're looking for a team player with a gsoh and knows their way round the fretboard and a wah wah pedal 😁 We play originals tunes with a hint of classic rock, grunge and punk. There's a few new songs that need a new guitarist to put a new stamp on our sound...take us forward with a new feel. Get in touch if you live round ere and this would suit you or you know someone who might like to audition. Cheers, Al

Most bass players are incredibly chilled people. We have to be. There's only so many drummers you can kill before someone starts to notice.
