Yes, and you won't need your 2 x 10 with it. Generation 1 or 2. Brilliant cabs. Frank.

I wouldn't do it. Just find another buyer. I've trusted a seemingly honest buyer before and been screwed. Never again. For me it would be cash or no sale. The fact that you're asking here tells me that your instincts are telling you not to do this deal. Frank.

About as sh!t as I do. It's one of my biggest regrets, brought on my lack of funds at the time. Bollox. Frank.

Thank you to everyone who offered advice. I think this is the winner. The recipient is, in my opinion, tone deaf, and definately not into hifi. His partner is also musically illiterate so I think this will be fine. A decent sound and the satisfaction of spending a little cash. All help is much appreciated. Frank.

I passed on a WAL fretless around 1992 for £200. I don't know how that makes you feel, but I know how it makes me feel 28 years later. Frank.

I'm in a blues/rock band and a pub/party/wedding covers band plus other loose arrangements for dep gigs. Honestly, I think most popular bass guitars can play most styles of music. Yes, they are all a bit different but not by so much that would rule out using say, a jazz style bass, for everything. This is just my opinion based on many years of playing and owning (too) many basses. Frank.

No. it's meant to be like a Dansette. One box does it all. Bottom of the range stuff. I think he's tone deaf to be honest, so not much should be expected. Frank.

I was gigging regularly until this virus disaster. Most weekends in the pubs plus the odd private party and wedding and the occasional summer festival. EDIT I've also Fenders - P and J, US Jaguar, PJ Jazz, Musicman, Ibanez, Steinberger you'd be welcome to try while you're at it. Whereabouts are you in N Ireland? Frank.

Hello wise audiophiles. Because I play guitar, I've been asked by a friend to give advice on what record player she should buy her partner. She thinks I'll know about this but I know nothing about record players. So I'm seeking your advice. He isn't into music especially, but has a big record collection from the 60s and 70s. It should be a single unit with a budget of £500 maximum, but less if something "decent" is available for less money. And she needs it for Saturday 4th July! Thanks for any advice offered. Frank.

I've owned a few Warwicks over the years. My favourite is the Streamer stage 2 neck through. It was sold a while ago. (Regretted ever since.) Anyway, the reason for my post is that I live in Belfast and still have a Streamer LX4 MIK. Don't let the MIK put you off. It's as good in its own way as the German built Streamer LX4 I owned. If you want to try my Streamer, you'd be welcome to do so. Either at my home, or at a gig, if we ever get back to gigging. Let me know if you're interested. Frank.

It would be interesting to hear a Super Midget in the video. Also, a demonstartion of how the SM and BB2 sound when the tweeter/horn is adjusted. I have a pair of one10s, a Super Midget and a BB2 and enjoy them all. However, if I could keep only one cab it would be the BB2. Frank.

I'd love to hear that rig. The PJB gear is top class. Frank.

Almost anything from Van Morrison. The fact that I live in Belfast and grew up on Van, I suppose it's to be expected. But really, most music - soul, blues, pop, country, blue grass, classical...etc Frank.

I have a Squier fretless that has a fret marker that is slightly proud at the 5th fret on the G string. It causes a buzzing in that position. It's an easy fix that I'll get around to soon. I'll just file the fret marker down a little with a sharp carpenter's chisel. Frank.

I've still got my Watkins Rapier 33. I've owned it for almost 50 years. Should I change the strings? Frank.

A pair of one10s will be loud enough for any gig. If you need louder, you should go through the PA. Frank.

Don't mention watches Ped. I'm up to about 10. After redundancy in April 2016, I panicked a bit and sold 3 basses and a US Strat and a few excellent amps. I wish I hadn't sold them. I'm still buying the odd bass and I won't be selling any more unless I need the money. I reckon they hold their value far better than cash at the moment anyway. I'm at about 10 bass guitars and about 5 guitars and I gig all the basses and play one acoustic guitar at home. I feel totally comfortable with this. Frank.

The SM and BB2 together are superb. It makes no sense to me to use a SC with a BB2. You need to have the SC on top and it doesn't have a tweeter. BB2 and SM is the way to go. I have both, and it gives three excellent gigging options. Plus, the SM on its own is so useful on smaller gigs. Frank.

That's a really knowledgeable and helpful post Phil, and very useful insight. EDIT I've had a Peavey miniMax for a couple of years and it's the cheapest amp I own, but it's been getting the most gigs. It's a great amp. Frank.

I have a pair of one10s so I can't actually check a two10 but yes, the speakers are identical so I think there has to be a crossover. Frank.

1. AER amp three combo. I've owned an AER amp one and an AER amp two but really fancy the 2x8 amp three. I heard one last year and it blew me away for tone and the volume was 😲 and that was outdoors. Amazing amps. 2. Fender Dimension HH4 in natural finish. I don't know why these weren't very well recieved. Okay, I do know why - not traditional Fender. 3. Fender 51RI Precision. I gave my last one to my son as a birthday present several years ago and have always missed it. That warm sound. Frank.

Only for the terminally gullible. Frank.

As impedance varies with frequency I suspect it's something to do with the fact that one speaker is full range and the other isn't. Speaker impedances are only a nominal figure anyway and since changing between series and parallel speaker connection must change the crossover wiring, that could be the reason for the odd published impedances figures. Does that make any sense? Frank.

That's a thing of beauty. Frank.
