So you guys are telling me to buy the Super Twin then?

Too big!

That looks handy.

If it is clean you want then the smaller M81 is very very very annoyingly clean. I never use mine without some sort of warmer-upper. Maybe I need to trade for something else!

I just had a look at my blutooth speaker.... And it's blutooth only! No line in! Damn it!

Mmmm. Might be worth trying and using the distance selling rules etc to give a trolley a proper go.

I'd still have to take the rig off the cart when in use other wise those things always end up with a nasty rattle somewhere.

Quick background - I play in at a music trust every Saturday, in 3 different ensembles. Each requires a room change so I have to move my gear every 50 mins or so. Current gear for this is: Bass Class D head Barefaced One10 Compressor & tuner. The amp rig is very light, but to save time between rooms I put my bass back in the bag, and balance the pedals on top of the Amp&Cab and then carry it, with my sheet music in another bag with a shoulder strap. I can then do it in 1 trip, which is pretty much compulsory. I don't unplug anything other than the power and the bass. When carrying all of it, it's quite heavy so I'm wondering about approaching this from the other direction and getting a larger cab that has wheels so I don't actually have to do much lifting. 1 room change (in and out) has a couple of stairs but nothing too bad. So what is the lightest cab you can think of that comes with wheels as standard? I'm thinking Tilt-back really and not like a Marshall 4x12! I know the Barefaced Super Twin has tilt back wheels, but are there other options? Built in wheels don't seem to be that common. All ideas welcome!

I forgot about my other jobs. I'm also a magician. Mainly do kids parties. They don't pay as well as adult dinner party stuff but they are a lot more fun. It's really a paid hobby and I'm really picky about taking the bookings as I want it to be stress relief rather than a 'real' job. But it's also nice to know I could do 4 to 6 shows a weekend if I really needed to. And I volunteer at a local music trust. That involves playing bass in a few ensembles and stacking chairs! No pay or expenses but the coffee is excellent!

I worked very hard to be able to afford a used Hyperbass. I was gutted! All it did was increase the amount of wrong notes I could play. Must have been something wrong with it.

Has to be some fault involved somewhere. The disease claims are usually Asbestos related, or Vibration White Finger but can be other stuff. The spread of a nasty flu doesn't really fall into that. But thinking about it for a mo - if a vulnerable person was in hospital and a staff member broke the quarantine rules thus infecting the vulnerable person - that type of thing could come across my desk.

I predict and plan budgets in high value litigation including catastrophic injury and disease cases.

I really am looking for tiny. I already have a PJB headphone amp, and Amplitube on my phone but headphones get tiring quickly and it's not great for telly watching. The Backbeat is too expensive for my purposes. I've got an old Roland Cube but it's too big to take with me and surprisingly heavy. I might order the Blackstar and give it a test run. I'm not massively fussed about a brilliant bass tone, more for noodling and doing a bit of reading practice.

Not the power amp, the drive section. trying not to take any pedals!

Lottery type gambling with prizes require compliance with the various Gaming Acts and regulations. Non compliance can lead to massive fines.

Having both is awesome! i would love my DG amp with the MB Marcus EQ. The M900 bass control is a bit high.

Are they any good for a bit of noodling while watching telly? Or taking on work courses etc? Any alternative to the Fly amp? ta.

I find La Bellas to sound uneven out of the packet and then start to sound similar after a few weeks. It’s always the E that is different too start with. I went back to Thomastiks anyway.

If it needed that much protection I wouldn’t have bought it in the first place. Rack mount kit would be far less hassle.

Thread bump time. I am loving the EMGs but I also fancy the ability to do EQ changes from the bass when I'm on a tight stage. With that in mind I've now got an EMG BQC system to fit in it. Vol / Balance / Stacked Bass & Treble / Stacked Mid and Freq. Now it definitely needs the battery box being wired up to make room in the cavity. As my iron isn't working and I don't have any shrink wrap I'll be dropping it off to my favourite tech over the weekend. And as there are only 2 wires that need soldering - the rest is all solderless - he will laugh at me for not doing it myself. The stacked knobs supplied by EMG are a bit naff looking, but at the same time they are really light weight so that helps my obsession too! I'll have to play tomorrow's rehearsal within something else while it is getting done.

What extra £150? I ordered the original Marcus 800. The shop contacted me to say they didn't have any but they had spoken to the distributor and they would like to offer me the Gold Line version for the same money! So I said yes! My Sandberg is getting an upgrade this weekend (EMG preamp to go with the EMG pickups) so it will be interesting to see how it all works together.

I did get the gold line. They are different. Has a semi parametric instead of the Millerizer scoop control.

Yup. Just get a Marcus Miller model. Job done.
