Fender American Standard Jaguar? It has switchable P & J pick ups which can also be switched to series or parallel. Also switchable active/passive and still works in passive with flat batteries. The neck is jazz dimensions. The only problem is that they were only made for a couple of years (2014 to 2015?) so might be hard to find. I have seen a couple for sale on basschat. Mine's not for sale. Frank.

My Korean Warwick Streamer LX4 is from 2012 but it says "Made in Korea" above the serial number which indeed starts with WPS followed by the usual Warwick numbering system mentioned above. I've owned two German Warwicks, an LX4 and a Streamer Stage 2. The Korean one is of equal quality, the electrics and hardware being identical to the German ones. The woods are different but still top quality. Highly recommended, especially at the prices they go for in the used market. Frank.

I hope you like it. I'd be very surprised if you don't. The low end is really surprising for its size and the volume is, as I said above, enough for my rehearsals and small pub gigs. Great tones too. They are excellent little cabs. Frank.

A very honest and helpful post, and a post that will prevent the OP (bridge) from throwing good money after bad. Thanks agedhorse. Frank.

The Orange OBC212 is the isobaric one isn't it? In that case it's effectively a 1x12 and for what it's worth, I wouldn't buy one. There are far better options for similar money. I do agree with chris_b on buying a second Markbass 2x10. (I agree with his advice on the Barefaced cabs too.) I actually owned that rig years ago (a pair of Markbass trv102 cabs) with a Little Mark 1 amp then a Little Mark 11. That was a really good rig - especially stacked vertically which I did all the time when I used the pair. Frank. EDIT. Reading your original post agin, if you want more depth, the Barefaced BB2 is capable of serious low end and sufficient volume for most average pub/club/festival gigs. I love mine.

A quick summary would be if you like clean and uncoloured, go with the Super Midget. If you prefer a thicker, more coloured sound then it's the one10s. I can easily live with and happily gig either. (Which might be totally unhelpful to you. 😕) Frank.

I don't think there's much in it. A pair of one10s is loud enough for my pub gigs as is the Super Midget. (a single one10 is enough for smaller pubs and rehearsals) The Super Midget has more "bite". I'm happy gigging a pair of one10s or a single Super Midget. They do sound different but both get the job done. One10s for the blues band, Super Midget for the covers band. In all honesty, either would do both. Alex at Barefaced has more knowledge about his cabs than me (obviously ). I'm always happy to try to help but a call to him might be well worth it. Frank

A great review here and general information here: https://www.bassplayer.com/gear/flat-world-a-roundup-of-flatwound-strings Frank.

I find it difficult to express cab sounds in words, but here goes... The one10 is deeper and thicker sounding. Apparently they break up in a pleasant way when pushed, although I have never really had to push mine that much. The Super Midget is cleaner, crisper, and more open sounding and much louder than a single one10. A pair of one10s makes the sound noticeably better than a single cab and a bit louder too. Two are definately better than one even though one is still very, very good. Frank.

I have a pair of one10s and a Super Midget. If it's volume you need then the Super Midget is very loud. The tone is good and you can EQ more bass in if you like and it takes it easily. The tweeter is decent too and fully adjustable. I use a single one10 in rehearsals and small pub gigs and it copes well. I imagine you'd need a pair though if you have a "manic" drummer. Frank.

Agreed. But a Super Compact or BB2 combined with a Super Midget gives you three options - a big cab, a small cab and combined, a monster rig. Frank.

If you ever want to hear the BB2 (and the SM) just let me know. I'm sure we can arrange something. I'm gigging most weekends. I've played quite a few gigs with BCs keyboard player, Kevin. Mention me to him when you see him. He's a great player and all-round good guy. Good luck with the audition. Frank.

Hi Mark, I also had a G1 Compact and Midget plus a pair of G2 Midgets later on. I now have a G3 BB2 and a G3 Super Midget. I like this combination a lot because you have three options. I use the BB2 or SM alone the most. I rarely need both as they are both very loud alone. The BB2 is deeper and my favourite of the two. My first choice is always the BB2 and I only use the SM if space is going to be tight. They seem equally loud. Both are used if the gig is in a big hotel room, say at a wedding, or outdoors. Together they sound massive and very good indeed. The only downside is that two cabs will cost more than one big cab but after the initial expense, the convenience is worth it for me. I hope this helps a little. Frank. EDIT. I have a pair of Barefaced one10s too. They don't mix well with the 12" driver cabs but those two tiny cabs are amazing things.

I have BF cabs with both steel and cloth. Both seem strong enough. The cloth is lighter in weight. I'd go with whatever looks best to you. Frank.

I realised years back that I rarely used much EQ on any amp. My Thunderfunk has massive EQ possibilities - all I ever use is the "timbre" knob. On the Quilter all I have done on a gig is to cut back the bass in some rooms when using a Barefaced BB2. Having said that, the Quilter EQ is a brilliant design if you value effective simplicity. There are great tones in there once you get the hang of it. But I'm happy changing tone by changing plucking position and attack, maybe backing off the passive tone occasionally, changing and blending pickups, and using my thumb and fingers and a pick. After that little ramble: yes, the all-round brilliant Quilter BB2 does have a great EQ. Frank.

You're correct of course but the MB200 is still surprisingly loud with the right cab(s). However, since mine recently gave up the ghost, it matters not a jot. Frank.

That's all you could ever need. What a rig. Frank.

That's outstanding service from Ashdown. It would make me seriously consider an Ashdown as my next amp based on customer service alone!! The fact that they make excellent amps just adds to this. Frank.

One wonderful thing about basschatters is the generosity shown. I have on a few occasions given and posted items FOC to basschaters in England and Scotland. I've felt really blessed when, on a couple of occasions, basschatters have posted me items without charge for either the item or postage. You won't get that on ebay. So thank you MB1 and Chiliwailer. Frank.

Sounds similar to what my American Standard Jaguar PJ does. Add to that series/parallel and an active circuit (works in passive when the battery is flat too, which is reassuring) and you have a very versatile bass, So that's another option for anyone who fancies a PJ, although I've never seen another one on a gig or on TV. Frank.

If you want simple, toneful, loud, versatile, reliable, light and compact, then I'd second the Quilter BB800. They are also very competitively priced. Frank.
