Thanks! A V4B Classic, AV212, and a P500 for backup - I love it!

Yes. For many of the reasons listed previously. The older I get, the more I appreciate the talent, especially of McCartney. If you really learn about each of their histories, and then the bands history, you get it.

Pardon if this was already mentioned, but given the tone and amps you sound to favor, which are similar to my taste, you would probably love the Ampeg 212AV, although it may be more than you are looking to spend. It's got tone to die for! Cheers!

Try co-q10 supplement. 200 mg per day. Will get rid of cramping in any muscles. Some people need 300 or 400 mg per day, but usually 200 mg gets it done. Solved it for me.

Thanks much! This looks really helpful, I will pass it on to our guitarist. Cheers! Steve

Not sure if this is the proper forum, but didn't find a better spot. To all you awesome basschatters out there: I will make this short and to the point - our drummer was diagnosed with brain cancer last October and has probably just months to live (although we are praying for more). He's still playing with us but probably does not have many more gigs left in him sadly. He would like us to play So Weak So Strong by Govt Mule bfore he dies, as he wants to dedicate it to his wife. Our guitarist is pretty darn good at figuring out songs, but the part on this song has stumped him, and apparently many others, as neither of us has been able to find a tab for this song for guitar. In video, he seems to do some strange chords, and turns away from the camera at points, making it hard to tell what he is playing. I told the guys I would throw this out on BC and see if anyone could help. Has anyone figured this one out, or know of somebody that might have? I and the rest of the band would really appreciate it. Thanks, LTB

For what it's worth (I know you are asking about the 210), while I prefer my V4B, I also have a pf500, and they both sound awesome through my SVT-212AV. Has plenty of tone and power for medium gigs and sounds great at low power too. I have not had experience using this rig alone with large gigs, as I've had PA assistance. For the Ampeg sound, these produce that sound in my head exactly! If you have the opportunity to get the 212 at a good price, it's definately worth considering. Just my .02 Cheers!

Thanks all for your suggestions and links so far, I appreciate it! Steve

Hello all, My wife and I will be in Leiden for a few days (3-4) at the end of May. We've never been there, or to Europe before for that matter, so I'd love to hear any suggestions for things to see and do, live music to check out, bass shops to puruse, etc. Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance Cheers!

I just want to say to those of you in London and the UK in general, that the thoughts and prayers of myself and many Americans are with you regarding the events in London today. I hope all of you and those close to you are safe. Steve

Thank you very much for all of your helpful replies!! It's so difficult trying to balance seeing what you can, and not overdoing it! . So looking forward to getting to see places I've only read about or seen in movies. Also would love to visit Wales, where many of my ancestors came from - Cornwall mostly. Thanks again!!

My wife and I will be traveling in Europe in mid-May to visit my daughter who is studying in Leiden. This will likely be our only visit, so I'm looking for some input on "must see" places especially in London and Ireland, as we will have 3 days before we go to Leiden. We are in our early 50's and quite active. We enjoy the city but love the countryside. Sightseeing, eating out, and live music would be much enjoyed. Any input would be much appreciated!
