I had a s/h JC Bass some time ago which came strung with TI flats - really suited the vibe and sound of it too. It came with a fairly battered old hard case but I managed to find a newer s/h Epiphone fitted case which was lovely quality and fitted it snugly. Lovely basses tho and much more versatile than I expected.

Best: A pair of KZ ZS10 Pro IEMs and a Behringer headphone amp. My first step into the world of in-ear monitoring and a game-changer for me. Honourable mention too for my Vox Amplug headphone amp - not the best made piece of kit in the world but invaluable for me playing at home. Worst: Honestly nothing - a few bits I haven’t got round to using yet, but nothing that’s actually bad.

Hi Saskia and welcome aboard. Hope you enjoy the occasional flashes of brilliance that are on Basschat, and the marketplace where I’ve spent far too much time and money….

I was really surprised to play a real T Bird and find it sleek and beautiful, rather than the barn door that my Tokai was. Live and learn eh?

I had one - weighed a tonne, sounded average at best, uncomfortable and huge to play. Looked cool tho. Didn’t keep it long. It was only a few years later when I played a real Gibson T-Bird that I realised how far off the mark the Tokai one was.

Fiesta Eco Boost - fairly low emissions from 1L engine. Fits a Markbass STD102HF on the back seat, a Markbass Traveller 102P in the boot, two basses in the front seat/footwell and the various bags, mic stands and amp heads fitted in around it all. I’ve also got a Volvo V70 which obviously takes every bit of gear I’ve ever owned, but in terms of small, efficient and low- emission vehicles, the Fiesta works a treat for me.

Just taken collection of a Boss chorus pedal from Dan. Easy transaction and great pedal.

Paul bought my Schroeder cab - nice guy, had a good chat about things bass and amp related and the whole transaction was easy.

All mine are under 4kg these days, which is just the way I like it: Fender P bass - 3.9kg Yamaha BB604 - 3.9kg MIJ Mustang - 3.6kg I once had a Tokai T-Bird that weighed as much as my house, and I couldn’t even finish a set without swapping back to a fairly heavy P bass I had at the time which felt like a feather in comparison.
