In America they can’t afford the medical procedure so they just carry on until they drop.

When you are dead.

I've been thinking about changing the EMGs in my Sandberg, just because of wanting-a-change reasons and I'll have to have a look at some Barts now.

Considering how Chester died I'm surprised the band picked a Scientologist just because of their stance on mental health and treatment. Strikes me as odd.

The only Barts I've had have been the cheap ones in an Ibanez. They are so bad I think they've probably damaged the brand a little.

I'm loving the tone he's getting with the Overwater and the EBS acoustic preamp. I've never had an EBS anything - but now I'm thinking about it! Damn this GAS!

This is ace. Full run through of his di rig for bass guitars, DB, and synth, all with playing examples. Few anecdotes about when things have gone wrong too. PAGE 2 has a new rig video from him.

The Horrorpops!

I wish the larger GR stuff - like the vertical 2x12 etc - had tilt back wheels. I know they are really light, but everything feels heavy if it has to be carried for long enough.

Also - the 2-TEK bridge is a pile of arse. You got the right one. The 2-TEK's only discernible purpose is to make a bass even heavier while at the same time making it impossible to get spares and cutting a massive hole in the body meaning it's really difficult to use a different bridge when the spares run out.

ah man! I am jealous! I tried one of those at the old Birmingham Bass Centre in about '96. It was brilliant! I was at uni and had no money to buy it, but I looked for one for years after I graduated. Too heavy for me these days, but I'd still have one to play when sitting down in front of the TV! Congratulations indeed!

A One10 and a One10T (tweeter), both with the official covers.

I'll have a look! Thank you.

If you have Hercules wall mounts then these things for a narrow neck will grab on a headless with a wider neck end like the Ibanez has. At least for the 5 and 6 string. Probably not for the 4. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07RX9GMRB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Doesn't work on other headless of course like Status etc.

That 3x10 looks like a great option, especially with wheels! As it happens I'm about to list my BF cabs for sale because... and I cannot believe I'm saying this and I am embarrassed to be swapping sides for a bit... I need a gigging guitar amp! 😲 I bumped into some old mates I used to play with and we're going to do a bit of a reunion thing before we get too old to do it. So I'm in kind of the same boat as the OP, but about guitar stuff. I want a raging JCM800 like I used to have, but I do not want to carry it!

Me! I went from old School Marshall VBC 4x12 bass cabs, then to Bergantino, then Markbass and then different types of Barefaced. I've had barefaced Supertwin 2x12 (very clean sounding, mid forward) and a pair One10 (more traditional sound). Both really good, but I preferred the vintage tone of the One10 set up. I thought they were closer to Markbass than the Supertwin was. That big Marshall is still my favourite bass cab ever, but it weighs 108lb!

It's the mids. The One10 have a more old fashioned scoop and the 12 inch stuff does not.

I've gigged my One10 x 2 without any trouble getting over a drummer and 20+ piece brass and reed section.

Demo was yesterday!

What pedal is it? Some are much better than others for this sort of thing. Still likely to be a power supply issue though. A good power supply with isolated outputs is a great investment. They can be expensive, but it's also something you usually only need to buy once. Unless you are a bit of a pedal junkie and you have 3 different boards assembled all the time.... ahem.

IIRC the Specials have a slightly different neck shape on the 4 strings and the nut width is now a touch wider than it used to be. Very annoying for those of us who prefer a J type neck! I think the 5 string neck on the Specials is the same as on the older ones though.

I've got an old Roland Cube 30 and it's brilliant even if it is a bit heavy by modern standards. I have that in a bedroom and it's very loud for its size. I've done small gigs with it in the past with a variety of acoustic instruments (woodwinds / horns etc). I've just put together a new little lounge rig - I wanted something for guitar and bass, so I've got a Tonex and a Yamaha HS7 studio monitor, and a couple of other pedals. I have guitar and bass patches on the Tonex and the HS7 amplifies it all very well, with more than enough volume for home. The Tonex only does amps / cabs / Compression / basic reverb. It doesn't do delays or other time based FX like phasers / chorus etc etc. My little board (Pedaltrain Nano) has the Tonex, an overdrive, a Tape Echo/delay and a phaser. The onboard compressor is a bit basic, but certainly enough for home use like this. And if necessary I can just take the little board out and plug into any PA anywhere.

I used to and I think some of the problem was using my eyes to set the EQ etc. I had preconceived ideas of what the EQ should be for a certain sound. Then I saw a guy on youtube who purposely turns away from the controls and tweaks it all without looking, forcing him to only use his ears and nothing else. I've been doing that ever since and it has really helped.
