Left handed version would be nice!

I'm wireless so wanted the mini plug for the transmitter, had to rewire it though for the Line 6 transmitter.  Very happy with it.  It is a bit low in the output department, but that's never been a problem as I just up the gain a bit.

I do use a footswitch to switch it on and off so that I can cough, talk the others in the band etc.

I use one of these, https://www.thomann.de/gb/shure_wh20tqg.htm?ref=prod_rel_341637_1  and it's great.  Not the highest output though.

After dabbling on a Vox stroller, bought from my Mum's mail order catalogue, Marshall Ward, my first venture on bass was a Vox Clubman bought from a friend for £5.  Shorter than short scale, no truss rod and smaller than small machine heads.  The previous owner had replaced the Vox pickup with a Burns Trisonic which unfortunately was thicker than the body so a wooden bowl shape was glued to the back of the body to cover up the hole.

I also bought a linear 50 and a home made 2x12 to use with it.  How was I to know one of the speakers was blown?

Can't remember what happened to that bass.

These are not black but a felt tip can be very handy.

Paint's fine with me!

I can't help with your problem but I do like the ideas and music.

FireDragons sounds great!

I tried it once and although my head knew what I should do, my fingers didn't.  It felt like I was trying to play bass again from day one but I didn't need to do it, just wanted to see if I could and have the choice of all those right handed basses that us left-handed players are denied.  Good luck!

This is interesting.

You're right, the top cab has the top 2 speakers angled back but the bottom cab has the baffle slightly angled from about an inch at the bottom to about 2 inches at the top and I can't see that slant in the photos.

Our drummer recently got a set of these, https://www.drumshack.co.uk/traps-a400-nc-acoustic-drum-kit/p/10?option=27017&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIw6a1gZb22wIV1JTVCh3R4AQ3EAQYASABEgJiTPD_BwE  and they are brilliant!!!  Light, loud if you want them to be and so easy to transport.  They are amazing!!!

A couple of videos.

Well worth considering.

Not a Marshall bottom cab as the baffle doesn't slant back.  Not a Hiwatt, they used Fane speakers.  Not a Sound City as the handles are wrong and they also used Fanes.  Judging but the bit of fret cloth wrapped round the edges of the baffle inside, I'd say it's something like a Sola Sound.

When my amp packed up once, I used one straight into a power amp and was pleasantly surprised at how good the sound was.

Cheap Behringer graphic pedal will do that for you.

I'm pleased for you, excellent result.  I wish mine was as easy to fix.

Mine did exactly that.  It was just after Fender bought the company and before they sold it on.  Fender gave me a Rumble 500 as a replacement and I was a bit miffed to begin with but the Rumble has turned out to be an excellent amp.

If the amp has died, then I suspect that your choices are limited.  Aged horse on Talkbass might be able to help but he's in the states.  It depends how much you like the amp.

If you know the song it's pretty easy, If you don't, it can de a bit strange.

Used to play this in a country band I was in.  Great song.  Didn't notice anything strange about it.

My favourite version is this by the Animals.

On the gigs we've played when everything is too loud, our drummer used to put foam rubber discs inside his drums.  They were 2" which and cut just larger than the diameter of the drum that they were pushed into.  Worked a treat!  Mind you, all the drums only had single heads so made it very easy.  The snare just had a tea towel over the top head, that worked well as well.

Now however things are different.  He recently got one of these.

Absolutely brilliant!!!  Loud enough but not too loud and so easy to transport.  Recommend every drummer to at least give them a try, they'll be impressed!

Hi, thanks for the recommendation but I have a laser cutter / engraver.  I can cut and engrave acrylic, glass and wood but not metal.

I like that!

Not something I've ever been involved with and wouldn't do it if I was but I would imagine it's the impulse buy thing.  See the band, like the band and buy a ticket for the next show.  Most audiences probably wouldn't go to the bother of going online to try to find tickets after the event.

Always.
