I try and move a bit but as I have a bad back, and because of that, bad mobility, it`s nothing much. Feels like I`m doing a marathon when doing it, but looking at videos it resembles me as being just past the standing absolutely still stage.

They won`t sell, they`re both round the wrong way...................

The article also says it took more than a decade for Ronnie Wood to become an official Stone.

I like the slap bass on Bowies Ashes to Ashes, and on PILs This is Not a Love Song, other than that not really keen.

Maybe a slight turn counter-clockwise on the truss-rod and a quarter turn clockwise on each of the saddle screws? Sometimes a low action can choke the strings a tad.

I loved out Out of Time, a truly great album, I must have worn that tape thin in my car throughout 91/92.

I tried the 212 (two of them) at the weekend with the OB1 amp - was a great sounding rig, plenty of dirt if needed but plenty of lows too. These were the old smaller 212s as well.

Yes, sounds great. Less twang than Rotosounds as a reference point, but still pack a pretty decent punch.

It`s pretty near the same Dave, I`ve not gigged the Mex but at home volumes it`s virtually there, maybe a little toppier but I put that down to both the better wood and the thicker neck/headstock of the US accounting for the beefier sound.

I`m surprised by this, I`m sure when I looked into the model numbers the Custom Shop 62 was the same as the one listed as being in the US Standards. To the point where I bought one and put it in my Mex Precision. Doh!

If I only played at home one bass would do me, but I have to have a backup for the just in case moments.

There are too many that I go through phases of liking, but my current fave is Bubbles of Booze & Glory, his Fender Jazz/Orange BassTerror sounds great, plus his playing is really melodic.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1480033531' post='3181251'] The master on my TH500 used to be on 12 o'clock with my Bergantino CN212 but with the Barefaced cabs it's now on 10 o'clock and it's louder. BF cabs are very good at turning watts into SPL. [/quote] They certainly are Chris, I used another bassists cab last night, admittedly an 8ohm/1x15 cab so not getting full power from my amp, but where I usually have the volume on around 10 o`clock I had to push it to 3 o`clock to get what I needed.

My plan for this Fridays gig is just a tuner and Sansamp, both battery powered, rather than my pedalboard - which admittedly only has one more pedal on it, an Aguilar Tonehammer. The whole point of my board was to make life easier but it seems to be making things more time-consuming, plus having more gear to carry/set up etc. Back to basics and looking forward to it.

My backup comes on stage with me, but kept in its gig-bag.

And lets not forget New Years Day is a song written around a great bassline.

Every time I`ve heard a Markbass/Barefaced combo it`s sounded great, congrats.

The Barefaced Big Baby 1 in the For Sale section would be ideal for that.

Cab-wise I`d throw in my usual Barefaced recommendations - they have two ranges, the cabs with 12" speakers are pretty flat/neutral sounding, the cabs with 10" speakers are retro voiced, hence being called the Retro series. The Retro210 weighs 30lbs approx, and is a doddle to cart around. I`ve got one - which I`m selling at present, the ad is on here for anyone interested. Amp-wise, well as Winterfire666 says, if you like your current sound why not look into a TC amp head.

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1479845878' post='3179771'] The Barefaced Two10 is around £500 (I think it's £499 plus postage). It's a 2x10 but with surprising volume and sounds a lot bigger than its size suggests. Get the 4ohm version and you'll be fine. If you're interested in light and relatively compact, but still loud, deep and good sounding... The Two10 is great. [/quote] I`m selling one, for £400, comes with a Roqsolid cover. Bought in Aug this year. Admittedly it`s the 16ohm version, but the "to 4ohm converter" only costs £30 from Barefaced.

I`ve often wondered the same, am sure many would like the option of a Road Worn Precision with a rosewood fretboard and regular Precision width nut. I know they could then get, well why not a 70s Jazz etc, but a RW Precision with regular width nut, well I`d reckon the RW series would get a fair few more takers.

Neither are particularly small but my recommendations would be Mono M80 or Protection Racket 7051. They`re much easier on the carrying hand than a hardcase and you can store some items in them - more in the PR7051 than the M80. I`ve not had the Mono Vertigo but only read good things about them.
