in front of you ? TBH when i had the 121 rig i never stood to the side of it. Always directly in front maybe up to 2-3 ft max from it. I liked the 210 combo they had where the speakers were side by side rather than one above the other. The cab could tilt back to approx 35-45 degrees if i remember right tilting upwards to let you hear it better. Dave

Me too Neil. I got it from our very own @wateroftyne with regards the WB-100 and it has worked wonders when using the VM4. Definitely an improvement. For me i love a graphic EQ as i can see at a quick glance where my tone is and i know exactly what to adjust from there. With paraEQ i never know what freq to boost or cut. A lot of trial and error ensues until i find it. I think i need to know my amp better and the mid frequencies that really enhance a bass tone for what i like. All dependant on what bass i use too of course. Dave

I liked the MB gear i had and i have often thought about going back to it. My only concern was i couldn't hear it on stage but it always sounded great from the audience point of view and they sit so well in a mix especially if you have keys in the band. Must admit i'm liking the BF 212 cab as i can stand directly in front or even to the side of it and i can still hear it quite well. The Mesa cabs are good but not if you have to stand directly in front of them. The sound is thrown past you. Dave

Its nice getting a compliment at a gig. Its funny but i think the equipment you use makes a difference to what the audience hear. When i was using my VM4 into a SS head and my Mesa cabs i get comments. When i use the Handbox WB-100 into the same cabs i don't. I'm wondering if the SS or now using the TT800 have more edge than the valve amp and people just pick up on it. Valve amps have more depth of tone IMO but they don't have that fast attack or edge of a modern amp. Just a curious thought !!! Dave

I like that. Dave

Suits you Sir, suits you.

Not really fussed either way about AI. I kind of thought it was just a backdrop at a photographers. I'm old school that way 😂 Dave

Love the pic Daryl. Dave

Not for me i'm afraid. Dave

Old Man and the Angel by It Bites on Roch Valley Radio Classic Rock show DJ'd by an old mate from 80's. Never miss the show unless gigging. Dave

Had a wee rehearsal with the Glam band on Wed night after a month off. No real issues and decided to run thru the songs we haven't played in quite a few mths. That was fun. Gigging on 14th Feb at a 60th Birthday party. Not sure why we keep doing these but the money is good. Also the 21st Feb at a short notice one at The Ferry in Glasgow when a friends band had to cancel and we were put forward as a replacement band. Venue and myself eventually agreed on pricing etc and quite looking forward to playing it. Dave

Liking that a lot. Thanks for sharing @cetera Dave

Years subscription for me too. So looking forward to reading a proper magazine again. Happy days. Dave

That about sums it up for me. 👌 Dave

Perhaps you were posting in stereo without realising it. 😂 Dave

Sometimes i don't get that London humour and it goes right over my head. Even tho my drummer is a Londoner. 😂 Dave

100% one of the best shops i've ever dealt with albeit only the once or twice. Always gets back to you when you make an enquiry, extremely helpful on the phone. Just doing things the right way. This has put me in the mood for a Limelight bass now. Darn it. Dave

Sarcasm ?

Quite a few of the motorway services have them in our area. Local High St. ones all shutdown tho. In fact they still have them in the 3 main Lanarkshire Hospitals. Dave

And fit the strings properly at the tuners. 😂 Nice looking bass. Mine didn't have the adjustment pot on the pre-amp block plus it was all black silicone compound. Dave

Fingers crossed for a happy ending. 👍 Dave

I thought Fender did have an issue at the start and that's why they added the Limelight Logo and serial number on the back of the headstock. I was sure i read that somewhere and Fender were ok with that. Dave

I bought my polar white VM4 from Mark and no issues with delivery but i remember thinking at the time it was a bit too far for me to drive down from Glasgow area. Can't remember exactly where they're based and can't find on their website. I did however drive down to Bass Direct once for a look at 5 stringers and came away with a Dingwall NG2 5er. Dave

Perhaps it was originally ordered with that set up when new. The original or earlier Warwicks like mine which is an 89 Thumb had a small encapsulated block pre-amp. My pre-amp failed in the first 6mths and again approx 10 yrs ago. I now can't remember if mine had any print on it. Warwick no longer supply those original style pre-amps and mine now has an MEC preamp. Dave

Thanks for that. I just always assumed that direct drive meant less maintenance with belt replacements. Interesting to see the trend is more towards belt drive. I'm guessing belts are made from better quality materials these days. Dave
