Them Greenboy cabs sound epic and can go as loud as feck, we had some at the double bass bash, sheesh!

I went to the music man factory last year, I think as I was many people would be surprised how small the factory is, OK they aren't built by one person in a shed but they aren't spitting them out like the Cort factory.

Now I'm very Liberal but honestly the idea of you three in one band is a step too far, not because of the trans thing, I just don't fancy a band with three bass players!

Now come on Bob you can't leave it like that without telling us what the box of chocolate question was!?

I'd imagine they cost even more than £1700 now as no one appears to be taking any notice of the date! Lol

I've seen it live on stage twice and both amateur productions were better than the Cruise version!

Two lumps of wood, a pickup, bbot and some tuners, just like like any other P bass to me.

What's wrong with poplar?

For items where viewing is essential there's a classified add option.

Yep up the back for me too, I'm going to get a dual lead made for instrument and in ears. Getting the fit right will transform the sound, I've never had such a good bass sound as I do from the KZs once I'd got them in snug. Are you getting them right in there? Mouth open and pull your ear backwards whilst using your pointing finger to push the ear piece home?

I don't think these desks are suitable for knob twiddlers tbh, once set up properly you shouldn't need the mixer controls anywhere near the singer in the same way you wouldn't have a mixing desk in stage at the front.

My wife has been firm on him not being up to monkey business to the point debates have become heated over it, she watched the first half and was actually crying because she felt she knew they were telling the truth, sad really.

The Bartolinis in my old Jazz were different sizes.

Sounds like a certain Mr Corbyn!

After ten years living together I suppose it was only a matter of time before she'd make him choose between her and his career!

I just mess with everything until it works!

It's not so much the rating of the cab, it might not break the cab but it won't sound great near breaking point. A more efficient cab could be rated at the same wattage but sound nicer and louder even when using a smaller amp. Adding another gk cab wouldn't be a bad idea if one crops up, the streamliner into a pair of those will sound great on a gig and just one for home practice. Keep searching

Ermm Gary Glitter moved to Thailand and seen regularly with young boys?

We will leave them in our set unless there's an actual posthumous conviction.

I've found getting low volume is more about the speaker cab than the amp, if I run my small amp through my 2x12 cab it's hard to get the volume under control for a quiet jam whereas I can put my 900watt head into my 1x10 and practice upstairs whilst the Mrs watches television in the room below without complaining. The GK cab will probably stop you from getting any actual benefit from the bigger wattage head though. A Genz Benz Streamliner head sounds ideal if you can find one, paired later with a pair of nice 1x12s will give you a great modular rig, the GK head and one cab for home practice, genz head and one cab for louder practice/rehearsals etc, genz head and both cabs for proper gigs with the GK head as a spare 😁

I've bought another pair of KZ ZS10s for home practice and to put in the bag as a spare set for gigs.

Double basses can have "an extension" which is an extra piece of finger board past the nut with a lever that folds over to activate or eliminate the extra portion, the Kubiki bass had something similar a hundred years later and bass players thought they'd reinvented the wheel!

Is it two really short sets or one really long version to fill the night Jack?

Another Jazz Bass copy that costs nearly as much as a real one but with lower quality hardware, I'll pass thanks.

A heft knob would be really cool!
