  1. I didn’t think I’d ever sell this amazing combo but something I’ve had my eye on has come up and my house is starting to look like a music shop, the wife’s words, not mine. 
     

    Its in really good condition. Looks amazingly cool and sounds fantastic too. What’s not to love. 

     

    It’s a glorious 220 watt combo with a valve in the preamp for lovely B15’esque vibes.  Really loud, never needed to go past 9 o’ clock on the master. 
    Only downside is that it’s quite heavy as you’d expect but has castors so its not too hard to move.

  2. Why make life harder for yourself than it needs to be.
    I’ve done TV shows where I had to use a TE combo rather than my rig. Was it my sound? No. Was it good enough? Yes. The only person that really cares is you. To most other musicians ‘it’s just bass isn’t it?!’

  3. I feel your pain too.
    I now have colour zones on my pedal board. Black pedals/psu along the top, gold/brown pedals on the bottom left and white pedals on the right with a white lead into a white P bass  I even have a short white lead between the tuner and the Wah! ED3054E6-C0D8-4565-BD26-26C0971A947E.thumb.jpeg.5d44e6c9a2e66f5213cdd12bb6fb75c8.jpeg

  4. Used to play ‘She caught the Katy’ in a band. My wife thought it was a great song too. After a gig she said ‘I really like that She’s complicated song’ took me a little while to work out she meant ‘She caught the Katy!’ 😂

    So here’s my latest version:

    Think it covers all the main food groups:

    Wah > Tuner > Compessor > Octave > Drive > Phaser

    Used this at last nights gig and if I do say so myself, this worked an absolute charm. Well done me! 😂

  6. I watched a bit of both. Jools started the hootenanny off singing and playing some boogie woogie. Great pianist, seems like a good guy but wish to god someone would hide his microphone. A singer he is not. 
    Soon as Ruby Turner got on the mic as was forgiven. Amazing voice. Put all the other singers to shame. 

  7. I’m currently using an EBS Billy Sheehan deluxe pedal with clean and dirt blended together. Really nice. 
    I also use from time to time my lovely Rodenberg 808 bass overdrive/distortion pedal which is based on a tube screamer and has a bass boost switch. Both great pedals and work well stacked together too.

  8. I had a barefaced super compact. Liked it, then bought a second. Much better sound, louder, more headroom. Had to sell it 😢 then later bought a super twin. 🥰

     

    I wouldn’t mix the cabs if it was me because when you need to use just one cab, either one won’t be ‘right’ on its own. The modular 2 x 112 cabs is probably the best all round option. I personally like the simplicity of the 212 single cab solution.

  9. Hi Guys, 

    Recently bought a converted Ashdown Studio 12 combo minus the amp. I believe the speaker has probably been swapped out to for a Celestion one too. 
    The cab is missing an input socket and has 2 wires with an unusual (for me) connector on the end. 
    I wondered where you guys would recommend buying a dual speakon/ 1/4” input socket similar to the barefaced ones. 
    Thanks in advance.

  10. So I used it at my monthly blues jam with my P bass with flats. Sounded good there too. Put it on some bench seating to raise it so I could hear it easier. Nice, clear and certainly loud enough playing against a busy drummer, 2 guitarists and a keyboard player. 
    Will be using it in my originals/cover funky blues band tonight. Similar band set up. 
    Think it will do well there too.
