hi. i am soon to be the proud owner of some decient bass equipment, my question is do i need to insure it seperate to my house insurance, if so can anyone recomend good insurance companies. just joined band so hope to be gigging soon. bass: g&l l2500 cab :bareface compact amp: to be brought, £500-800 your help would be appreciated, jon

yes were the first band i saw live, wenbley arena wonderous stories tour, ?1976/7. i'm still a big fan

thanks for all your help, great info.

i realise i posted in two forums, new to this was, thought i had put it in wrong one so did it again, sorry and thank you to Ou7shinned for responding to both.

wow, thanks for all all of your responses, like you say, the only thing to do is to try each one and see which one sounds the best to you. flat rounds round wounds, is this to a personal preference?

i know other people may have asked this question but what are the differences between these basses, and others. is there a good all rounder , i notice a lot of bassists in this forum have precision basses. thanks in anticipation of you explanations. jon

what about a piece of mdf or ply, cut to size and covered with a suitable material, with a slot cut into it to sit over the cab handle. just a suggestion i have now experience of this problem.

thanks for your welcomes, i review the forums every day, do i have a life?

Hi, hope you like it here. , i do.

hi from a fellow newbie

i've been looking at the shuttle 9 with a view to buying so very interested to read related opinions

hello fellow earthlings, i'm jon a 50 year old who has just taken up bass playing. i got to the stage in life where the little grey cells are in need of some sort of stimulation and i felt learning an instrument was a good way of stimulating them................. i'll come back to you on that one! seems to be a good community on here so looking foward to contributing when i can. jon

hi how much better is the shuttle 9 to the 6. am i justified in paying the extra, do i really need the extra power? your thoughts please jon

thanks for all you replies barefaced cabs look interesting

hi, having done some research including checking out this site i have found positive reviews in genz benz shuttle 9.0, ebs hd350 and a number of mark bass amps. any advise on narrowing down my search. also if i buy a decent amp i can afford one cab, 4x10, 2x12 1x15 or the mb ny408. i will be in a position to add at a later date but what would be good to start with. this will be my first purchase and i want it to last me a long time. i play blues/rock music with a g&l 2500. upped my budget to £15-1800. any advise or other suggestions would be welcome thanks jon

hi, i'm 50 and have been playing bass for 8 months. i'm joining a band and i am confused as to what amp to buy. 1x15 4x10 2x12 combo head + cab, or any combination known to man (or woman). at my age i'm not going to be playing big gigs. i play a g&l l2500. into most types of music but mainly blues/rock. i have a car with large boot. and a niggling back, who hasn't at 50!! any advice would be helpful. thanks jon
