Winter melody - Donna Summer

I like them when they’re great basses that happen to be cheap! Of course, cheap is also a relative term though, so opinions will vary a lot depending on people’s wallets.

Spring ( At last) - Paul Weller

She came in through the bathroom window - Beatles

It’s oh so quiet - Bjork

Killing floor - Howlin’ Wolf

Nice things but overkill if it’s purely for home rehearsal IMO. Try one of the Fender Rumble combos, the 25 watt would probably be ideal for you. Great sound, not expensive, lighter than a light thing etc. Generally I’ve gone for small combos for practice use and separate head and cab for stage. Purely on grounds of ease of use, functionality and adaptability. Doesn’t make sense to me lugging heavy combos around when you can split the load by having separates. I know some of the more recent lightweight combos have challenged this, but for me it’s just as easy to carry a class d amp head and a lightweight cab . (I currently use a GKMB800 and a Barefaced Compact.)

Saw Hawkwind last November at Guildford. A friend of mine was doing the sound for them so I got to meet some of the band and crew on their tour bus before the gig. All lovely guys, very friendly and funny. They brought on special guest Eric Clapton for half a dozen songs towards the end of the gig, EC and Dave Brock being old friends from long ago. I watched most of the gig in the wings behind the monitor guy, and managed a brief chat with EC. A really enjoyable evening. (Oh yeah, I sold the bass player my old Trace AH500 head too!) 😊
