Sadowsky Metro Express. made in the Warwick china factory I think

i have an earlier one of these which I happily used on it's own for years, in pubs and often in larger venues with lots of PA support. Then I added a 102p traveller and now I nearly always use them together. Plenty of headroom; I rarely have the master volume up more than a tad ( that's about a smidgen in metric!) and I just love the sound of my hybrid "4X10".

I had a FAL pa amp as my first bass amp Worjked atreat for me although I was 15 at the time

Woolworths Audition 25w combo FAL( 150w?) PA Aamp + huge " Custom made Orange type" 2x12 reflex cab that sounded about the right level close up, but could rearrange someone's digestive system 100 yards away. HH VS Bass Amp with aforementioned cab. I had to give the cab up, much to my teenage angst, as it was damaging the roof of my Dad's VW beetle when moved around on the roof rack. I had to downgrade to two 1x12's which were rubbish. Borrowed Trace 250 head + 4x10 and 1x15 rig, for gigs as I got back into bass playing after a 15 year gap and a few lost years as a guitard. Hartke HA2000 head Ashdown 4x!0 and 1x15 cabs Harke HA500 plus above cabs Markbass CMD102p plus Markbass Traveller 2x10 cab

It was a long time ago! However it still seems that the 4x10+1x15 combination dogma is still a thing for some.

Before I switched to my Markbass 210 set up I heaved an Ashdown 4x10 and 1X15 around. It was when the 1x15 blew and I gigged the 4x10 solo that I saw (heard!) the light. much prefer 10s and never worried about lack of bottom, in fact a lot of rooms I have cut the bass back a little.

I've just bought an EHX Bass Clone from Glenn. Great pedal , nice price; a speedy, efficient and pleasant transaction.

Here is my little board. Now with “extra melodic richness” with the addition of the EHX Bass Clone, which arrived yesterday courtesy of @glenalli of this parish. I tried it briefly last night at a rehearsal. I’m really impressed with it.

One of these ?S1 Switch I have a US Jazz with an S1 switch. It works a treat.

I recently posted in effects for sale and it’s looking like this with a little warning triangle. please can you advise ?

I have a brand new unboxed one of these to sell, which I’ll post in marketplace. I ordered two by mistake

DR strings, I use Fat Beams, seem to last well. If on a budget Fender Nickel wound ( made by D'addario?) are great.

last night at the John Peel Centre. Didn’t bother with the usual extra 210 cab as huge house pa and monitor set up. Sadowsky Tesco Express Markbass CMD210 Spectracomp Korg tuner pedal Boss leads

A great first time with The Gray Project https://www.thegrayproject.co.ukat the John Peel Centre in Stowmarket, supporting Smith and the Honey Badgers. Lovely crowd and staff They want us back in March and May

I use a right angle jack with the lead tucked in the strap

Yep especially when they're this short. I have the regular ones; they're great and save a heap of space

“Disco pants and haircuts”

This one.

I love mine too, the purchase of which was inspired by your review. Thank you.

I currently use 45-105 DR Nickel Lo-riders

Despite the crappy logo I really like it, after a good setup and new strings it works very well for me. I tried a German Metro Express recently, in Germany funny enough. It was very nice and felt like a more expensive bass, however, at three times the price I can neither afford nor justify the cost. I also think that I prefer the simplicity of the two band EQ on mine as I didn't really have time get to grips with the German one in the shop. If money was no object however...
