ohhhhh sooo many rehearsal room memories of the early '90's pressing all those buttons over and over hoping one of 'em didnt just sound like a middy bark through the whopping great horn cabs they used to give you

Funnily enough it's my cabs I'm most precious over as they are most likely to be fried/blown/overdriven whatever more so than the head. Esp if someone is clumsily walloping a bass (usually a p bass) right over the polepieces. On the odd occasion where I reckon the other guy isn't a numpty and won't take the p155 and I cave in I ALWAYS make em use a compressor infront which is something I carry for just such emergencies.

My best mate dave(davemuadib on here) has a black b2a that he swears by and it's a joy to watch him just knocking out laid back grooves on. It just sits perfectly in the mix no matter what.

Welcome aboard boss. I used to have a White b2 which came in a flightcase bigger than me which i still find amusing! I loved the sound but could never get on with the absence of headstock. That said I'd love another but only in White. Now you mention it I think I do recall seeing a picture of a black n White horizontal split one somewhere back in the day. Nice find, enjoy it.

glad someone else said that, me neither!, its is sorta 'soft' like barts?

Yup i owned one and it was total, utter cheapo junk. Sent it back for a refund. Great service but the basses are just not a good idea. On mine the hardware was incredibly poor and literally fell apart within hours and the neck and body were clearly mismatched. The neck was sunk waaaay too far into the pocket and a good set up was impossible. Just junk.

Now don't you worry your pretty little head about it. Yours Aggie [/quote] hahahahahahaha. I actually did laugh out loud, or as we say here coffe>keyboard. Even though I have finished my (tea) and am on my phone, so no keyboard. But still you get the idea. Oh and dear Auntie, why oh why am I never satisfied with what I've got? Even though I really only ever play my jazz I still find myself wanting warwicks and stingrays etc because I feel I'm not cool enough to other bassists if all I have is two fenders and nothing fancy or boutique anymore! Yours dissatisfied Gaf

I went straight from no instrument to playing bass. It was the only instrument I was ever interested in playing. Still is too. :-) no failed guitarist over here.

Cheers :0)

ay indeed, fairplay, i loooove mine, nut thats mainly cause is so much lighter than my old pedal board.

Does anyone know how these compare to my markbass 102p/102std hf cabs?

How are you getting along with the Zoom?

No hassle and a nice funny bloke![/quote] Yeah, nice guy, and i was very pleased when he commented on how i must care about my tone cause he spotted my QED power cable and monster cabling. But everytime he's been a catalogue of errors, bless 'im. Forgetting to DI the bass again until i was half way through the first song when I realised (not him) and had to go hunting for the lead and plug it in. Then the time he accused my LM2 and traveller 102p of filling the room with bass and crushing his head so he had to take me out the mix (it was on 2, i very much doubt even the markbass has that sort of unmic'd power in a room that size in a 6 piece band!) Then there was the realising he'd forgotten to turn the mixer on at all (after waxing lyrical about the great drum sound he'd 'mixed' !!!!!!!!!????) He simply cant hear!!!! Then there was pulling the plug on us 15 minutes into our set cause he'd got his times mixed up, didnt even let us say goodbye! Plus literally a whole bunch of other stuff!, including several times as an audience member that the whole rig was distorted and sounding very oiver stressed, but hes like 'naw man it sounds great!' in all seriousness i suspect his ears may have gone but he hasnt twigged. I cant recall what it was but the drummer was so angry last time he was about ready to deck him, and it was something else that just defied belief! He also kept telling guitar right to turn up and up and up, before we had to persuade him that it was the wring guitar and we were all deaf, he really wanted the other one. man just soooo many things, these are just the ones off the top of my head lol! friendly and pleasent but to give him the benefit of the doubt, possibly not at his best in that venue lol, and i reckon with some serious hearing damage, not helped by mixing from well above the actual rig!! :-)

Lol funnily enough that was my inspiration!

Mr muse tell me that was irony!!! We've had nothing but hassle with him! Nice bloke but we've actually struck the place entirely cause of him!

sweet, here's me with lounge fly in Cheltenham, somewhat before we worked on our sounds a bit, also a tad distorted but hey ho, thats camcorders lol, small bass bridge after the first song but i used the wah so its just quack, quack through the camcorder!
