Has anyone tried these? I managed to pick up a pack for virtually half price, so I thought I would give em a go. I am mainly playing Dad Rock on a Precision.

Funnily enough, I recently bought one of these. I havent used it yet, so cant really comment on whether its any good. I do however, have a quick change from fingers to pick during the intro to Lizzy's Cowboy Song which I keep the pick between my teeth. Yes I know! 🤣

I never actually realised how high I had it actually. It seems to rest naturally on my large lower chest though. 😁

I nearly wet myself laughing! 🤣 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vms_6_TSQuc Warning bad language

I do some BV's but I only have a limited range as I found out recently with the several key changes of 'My Generation' when I got to the Bb and was croaking away like a frog! 😁

Ah! Well you live and learn. 😄

Nice looking amp. He says its primarily a pick playing rock bassists amp, but it is quite flexible for different genres (Or words to that effect) But at only 50w thats gonna struggle down the Dog And Duck with my dad rock band. 🙂 A bit pricey too!. BTW why has Irish accent turned American?? ☺️

Are you referring to the quarter inch jack on a short wire? Is that the speaker input jack? I noticed that, hence my question. 👍

Would it be possible to use the speaker on its own? Maybe use it as an extension cab? I believe a Fender Rumble 200 is 100w at 8 ohms.

Dan bought my Markbass cab this morning. Jolly nice bloke, and a highly recommended Basschatter. 😁

Pump it Up by Elvis Costello used to be my sound check party piece.

Yes. I had the combo for 7 years and it has never let me down until now.

While at rehearsal last night, my trusty old CMD 121 started smoking quite badly. It was coming from the vent at the rear of the unit. I turned it off and unplugged it and had to use an old Peavy that the studio owned. This morning I rang the amp repair guy that the guitarist uses. He told me that he cant touch it because Mark Bass don't release their schematics to outside repairers, and can only be fixed my a Mark bass professional. Is that true?? 🤨

Those Warwick Red Labels used to be top quality a few years back. I bought a pack recently and they were as rough as a badgers ar$e and turned my fingers green. 😶

Curious to find the age of my P Bass, I typed the serial number in. I thought it was circa 2008, but this site not only tells me the exact model and colour, but it was built in May 2010. Nice bit of (probably) useful information. 😁 https://serialnumberlookup.fender.com/lookup/

There was an old song by The Bodysnatchers I think, called The Boiler. It dealt with date rape and was quite harrowing. I think was banned by a lot of radio stations in the early 80's and I haven't heard it since.

I always wanted to drive the London Underground tube train that I used to travel to school on. Back in those days (The mid to late 80's) they couldn't recruit enough staff because of the unsociable hours etc. Most young lads my age would rather be out clubbing at midnight on a weekend than working. I applied for a job and got one as a train guard and was a fully qualified tube driver within 18 months. The whole thing changed when they abolished the Guards job and left the driver on his own. We did get a wage rise though. I did 34 years on it and took early retirement a few months ago in April. So I did get my dream job in a way. 😊

🤣🤣 Of course it wasn't. There's no money above the fifth fret!

Nice friendly bloke. Bought my Limelight P bass and paid in full immediately. Good comms and will def deal with him again.

No, I think they were too skint to fix it it.

Well, There was four of them

I dont use it myself. I gather it is most prevalent in mixing to keep things smooth. A good example of overuse of compression, is the stereo version of The Beatles Revolution, where the drums are squashed into a compressed ball in the left channel.
