    Been playing theatre gigs since last summer using a 500w Markbass LM2 and two Markbass 2x10 cabs. It’s all very lightweight and modular, never been short on volume onstage, and easy to transport. Gigs that size will have a big FOH system and decent monitors or IEMs anyway, and for smaller gigs I can get by with a one of the cabs. Im also from the era of “big is best” cabs, but having lugged around 8x10s, 4x10s and various combinations thereof over the last 30 or so years I just don’t want to do it anymore.

    Post-Christmas / pre-New Year bump… Tricky time to try to sell things maybe?

    Great cabs.

    John Bush’s album with Anthrax was pretty cool too.

    Ha ha! But 80s spandex, pointy guitars and massive hair was COOL! I was quite proud of my cowboy boots with rattly chains, billowing flowery shirts and hoop earrings. No way you’re getting me in a baseball hat and a goatee tho.

    True that. I hated the sound of the Nu Metal too thing after years of enjoying what’s now referred to as Classic Rock.

    Oasis’s entire career completely passed me by. At the time i missed out on the whole Britpop thing to be honest. Then I got to relive it anyway for the next 25 years in a variety of pub bands. Lucky me eh.

    PM’d - yes please I’ll take this.

    Yeah I’m doing nothing this NYE. Did my last gigs of the year on Dec 19, so having a few quiet weeks. Hope everyone who is playing has a good one and fingers crossed it all goes ahead.

    Great basses. Those cases are rare as chicken lips too.

    In: 2 x Markbass STD102HF cabs 1 x Markbass TRV102P cab Boss chorus pedal EBS Multicomp pedal Various bass strings Out: Schroeder 1210r cab Yamaha TRBX505 Boss tremolo pedal So yeah - mainly shifting stuff I’ve realised I don’t use, and getting in stuff I need for the run of gigs I’ve been doing since June/July time. …and all via Basschat!

    Aha - yes I had a 2x12. It was certainly really loud and effortless to carry - I’ll give it that.

    It also depends whether you like the sound of Barefaced cabs too. Yes they are light and efficient but the sound is not to everyone’s taste - I really didn’t like the sound at all, and they aren’t cheap, so I’d investigate a few other brands too. Yesterday’s gig involved a very small stage and I had to settle for using one Markbass Standard 102HF - it’s a fairly large 2x10 cab with a front bass port, rated 400w at 8ohms. I was really pushing it and it was just about putting out enough for a pretty loud rock covers band. I’ve gigged with a pair of them and the sound is massive and far better. Ample low end either way tho.

    Still for sale. Nice thing to keep busy with if we end up in another flippin’ lockdown too…

    I’ve got a Yamaha BB604 that was £200 s/h and would still be an absolutely brilliant bass at three times the price.
  17. bassbiscuits
    Bump for a very cool cab.
  18. bassbiscuits
    Yup. My most comfy bass to play is a Yamaha BB604 - small sleek body, 24-fret slim neck. It’s just the way it tucks in close to my body when I play, without any sharp edges.

    Hello, I bought this cab on Basschat in 2020 but I’ve only used it on three gigs. Since getting a few smaller Markbass cabs this hasn’t left the house - hence me putting it up for sale. It’s in pretty much mint condition, and comes with a fitted Roqsolid cover. Its a vertical 2x12 plus an adjustable tweeter. Lovely sounding thing - articulate and open sounding, and its lightweight neo speakers, castor wheels and carrying handles mean it’s easy to lift. 600w at 4ohms 42hz - 18khz Sensitivity - 101db at 1w/m Weight - 47lb / 23kg Dimensions - 78.8cm x 54cm x 42cm Looking for £400. Prefer collection or meet up if possible somewhere near to Leicester. NOW SOLD THANKS. Cheers

    Bought a Protection Racket case off Simon this week. Easy transaction, top man and a brief natter about all things bass. Much appreciated Simon 👍

    This. I can see the enjoyment in tinkering and modding so I’m not going to criticise that. But in terms of my own gear over the years, the stuff thats been right for me has generally been bang on right from the start. The stuff where I’ve had to change this or that part to inch closer to what I want has just never sounded right, and eventually just gets moved on.

    Wilko are onto me. I bought a lampshade a while back. They’ve been sending me emails most days since. I clicked on one, and that generated another email saying “we noticed you were just looking at our website…” aargh!
