la bam

I love Laney stuff. Some of the best tones I've ever had have been from laney gear. Great customer service too.

Luckily, no one on here - but Facebook / Gumtree etc - different game!

I've no issues haggling or being haggled. What is completely unacceptable is arranging a price then on pick up trying to haggle some more. That's a no no.

Yes, you do need to spend a bit of time with the boss, but the rewards are really really worth it. In a band setting it's absolute class.

I'd go with a Boss Katana 210 combo. Everything you need to sculpt most sounds. Every fx going. Store different patches. Tweek. Amp sims. Drive sims. Everything. They're around 22kg. But everything is there. Class a/b power section too. And loud. Proper loud.

Been there done that, as has probably everyone on here. The amount of amazing basses that I'd loved that I'd just sold for the sake of getting a new one is crazy.

Definitely slow at the moment. I think after covid everyone had about a year of spending then everything very quickly tightened. Just look at the stuff for sale on here. That would have flown out in a day before covid.

Yes, the no built in tuner drives me mental!! It's got everything else in the world on it. .... And no tuner. Crazy decision. It'd be the perfect all in one solution if it did.

I've been in a few good tributes, and left for various reasons. For me, it's about one thing - it's not the looks, not the sound, not the stage antics - but it's about the "experience". That's what makes a good tribute. A great night out. A good resemblance to instruments, costumes, sound, looks all help sell that experience. I also fully believe you need to have a bit of yourself in their too to make it appear authentic.

I've often thought of this. In my experience everyone would do this.... 1. Buy one high end bass. Love it. 1.5 start lusting after 15 Harley Bentons. 2. Sell high end bass. Buy 15 Harley Bentons. Love them. 2.5 start lusting over one high end bass. 3. Sell Harley Bentons and buy one high end bass. ~~~~~~~~ 99. Sell Harley bentons and buy high end bass. 99.5 start lusting after one high end bass. ~~~~~~ I love my Harley bentons. I love how it's almost impossible to lose money on them. I love that you don't have to look after them that much or worry about them at a gig. I love how you can try all different variations of bass guitar without breaking the bank. They also sound great, look great and play great. Nothing stops my lusting after a high end bass again though.....

The year Sam ryder came second was brilliant. And I mean that in the way everyone knew Ukraine would win so they all voted for the UK so we would have to host the next ridiculously expensive event without the glory of winning. It was a Europe wide stroke of comedy genius Year after, back to nil points. Which made it even funnier!

Itd be a massive deep dive - all the fx would take a full video each to review. Honestly, they're that good! And there's loads and loads of them! Ive had the 210 a few months and haven't even delved into 5% of it yet!

It's an odd bass. On one hand I've really grown to like them. And the looks. It's also great they've done a sub version. However, when you look at it objectively there's no control for tone or anything, so if the pick up isn't great you're stuck with it. Bonus if it's good though. Although, you're paying for less options and flexibility than a standard sub. As I say, it's weird. And cool.

There are even fx modules in the amp purely for the eq should you want that. So you can boost and cut any frequency.

Boss Katana 210 combo has everything anyone needs. Minimal upkeep, everything in one box, relatively light (21kg) and all the fx and sounds under the sun. And you can get them for around £450.

Yes, it's brilliant, you can create sub folders and different files etc and make hundreds of different patches, all retrievable at the click of a button.
