This was probably the one you wanted

I always gigged with the angled driver pointing up, being pretty tall playing on small stages was always a pain for me but this was like having a regular cab and a wedge monitor in one compact box. I did tiny pubs and ballrooms with it like this, always delivered the goods. I later recreated this with the Markbass Club 121 cabs (after struggling with the TRV151p) - one facing forward and the other angled upwards on top of it with my head on an Ikea laptop tray! Looking back I should have just kept the Schroeder..

Live Aid was on my eleventh birthday. I remember watching it and thinking "They're going to have to do something BLOODY spectacular for my twelfth..."

@Stub Mandrel you need a TC BAM200 so it all matches!

I can imagine circumstances where I’d spend that on a bass. But not that bass. Forgiveness sometimes, permission never.

The charger box form was a big factor in my decision. I find that very convenient. Live I often use a Joyo guitar wireless (JW-06 I think) system that uses the same method, and I really like it.

Yeah, I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in a store. I tried one at a Bash Bash and was blown away - this is like you describe… strange speaker mounting. It’s one forward facing and another side facing, giving you a 212 in a box not much bigger than a 112. I was so impressed, I made an offer to the guy and bought it off him. I’ve never seen another in the flesh. I played Nottingham Rock City using this rig, and the sound man took the bass out of the PA due to the volume on stage. Afterwards he remarked how he’d never heard a rig so loud and punchy and was very fused that it wasn’t an 810. It’s an odd thing, but it works! I know the current line of cabs are somewhat different. I’m not sure what made them change design, but I’ve seen plenty of reports that the new cabs don’t stand up to this - they’re great, but don’t have anything that makes them stand apart from the competition. I’d still like to try a new one to see how it compares.

We’re all different and beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I can’t see the appeal here.

alrighty! some cool idea in there. not really something id listen to but i appreciate what youre doing. production wise, it definately has a home recording sound to it, but so does everything i do so can't really provide any worthwhile feedback! the snare and kick sound un-centred though, that might be an artistic choice but it reduces the root impact.

The other day I bought a Chinese Jazz Bass neck, on Ebay, for just over £70. It's a perfect replica of a Fender Jazz neck and has both a 70s style Decal and a made up USA serial number on the back. I seriously think it has made its way out the back door of a factory that makes necks for Fender in China. It looks and feels like it could have been taken straight off a Fender Player. Of course I have no plans to sell it, or any bass its connected, to as the real thing.

This is my home practice rig. Sexy 🙂

I mark out a template on graph paper, then tape it to the enclosure. Next I centre punch where the holes should be and then pilot drill with a small (like, 1.5 to 2mm) drill. Finally I'll go in with the stepper bit to get the holes to size.

Maybe get a sh Chinese sadowsky metro pj? They were blowing out the old models really cheap and there are some secondhand bargains around. You keep your instrument as is and can always sell the metro on without a loss.

Groove as ‘micro-timing’? 🤔 - ’Micro-timing is in the heart’ - ’One nation under a micro-timing’ - ‘Micro-time me’ - ‘Get into the micro-time’ Nah 😊

Why would I want a less gainey amp with a cleaner sound? I chose Orange for the Orange sound.

Duff's signature is from 2007 so it can't be from 2011. I'm almost certain the vast majority of signatures are from after 28th September 2007 but not too far from that date as thats the date of build of the guitar according to the serial number. So far I'm pretty sure this guitar has the following signatures on it: Alice Cooper Geezer Butler Duff McKagan Francis Rossi Rick Parfitt Steven Tyler Kerry King Meat Loaf Black Stone Cherry Mick Ralph Ian Hunter Jeff Wayne After some AI assisted Internet searching, it does very much appear to be legitimate... The signature placements match to these evidential pictures:

Year started playing: 1991 Number of basses: 7/8/9 (Depends what counts as a 'Bass') Music theory: 10 Technique: 10 Groove: 10 Modesty: 10 😃
