One of the reasons I didn't go for the power jazz. I'd have come to try it out, but I'd really have been hankering after a go on the flea.

Sorry to hear about your grandmother Andy, hope the family is ok. The chase is often a big part of the fun. It's easy to build up in your head that a particular bass/amp/cab/whatever will be the one. I get sucked into that a lot. If we thought logically about it we'd spend the cash on lessons, but where's the fun in that? If the basses you have make you happy and you can afford to keep them all then keep them mate. Looks like you've got a great collection, don't over think it.

This is our attitude too. I really like it as it means I look forward to every gig, filling the diary is pretty straightforward and we can cherry pick the venues that we like to play.

Any excuse for a gratuitous repost!

Nine. The band agreement is about one gig a month as we've all got families/jobs/other hobbies too. We had a full programme booked but our singer got an 'orrible chest infection in October. Try as we might, none of the rest of us could hit the highs needed for our 80s set so we had to cancel three gigs whilst she recovered properly. Fully booked for 2020 though, so fingers crossed.

Textbook.

Not surprised. Good luck with the sale.

Aaarghh! Must. Resist.

I just missed out on the duff deluxe that was on here a few weeks back. Been doing far too much looking since. Guaranteed that the moment I'm back at work one will come up and sell in about 10 mins!

You are NOT helping my GAS for one of these ....

I've had a search for this but not found anything too recent. I lug the PA to and from gigs. This includes a couple of big boxes full of XLR/power cables as well as a full complement of extension leads. I've seen a few toolbox on wheels type contraptions but would need something with a bigger capacity (about 60L) and without all the fiddly drawers etc. Essentially I'm after two/three stackable storage boxes that form part of a trolley. A bit like this but probably bigger. Does anyone have any recommendations? Cheers!

Just picked up a (barely) used 702 with cover. Next gig is Jan 11 so will report back.

Just bought an IEM system from Knicknack. Smoother than a silkworm in a smoking jacket. Highly recommended, cheers!

Merry Christmas folks! Here's Jump The Shark's version of Hungry Like The Wolf with a bit of Loggins chucked in for good measure. Live recording at Unit 26 Studios, Salford back in October.

So much want.

This is one of the early models. I think the newer ones have a slightly bigger (and better) case. Can measure if it matters?

Black it is then!

Like the Music Man charcoal sparkle?

Handbox R400 sounds pretty sweet.

I'm putting my wallet in the freezer.

Gold sparkle!

Saw them on the Boys & Girls In America tour. Excellent live, a really good atmosphere. It's still their best album. Saw them again on the Stay Positive your. Franz (keys) had left and a fourth guitarist had joined. It was offensively, painfully loud and they'd lost the great balance from the previous gig. Still a decent gig but I had very high hopes from earlier. Looks like Franz is back now, but they haven't been anywhere near Manchester recently. I'd definitely be buying a ticket if I was nearer to London though.

@Al Krow hope you don't mind me reviving this thread. Would be interested to know how you're getting on with the RCF. I'm toying with the idea of replacing our Alto 1st gen 15" sub, but the RCF is double the price of the new Alto.

I've had requests to 'just plug it back in and play xxxxx for us' whilst carrying a subwoofer between pub door and car.

Well, I thought they were good mates but then the buggers gave me an early birthday present at rehearsal last night!
