I rate the MB cabs highly I had the 4-10 mated to my 2-10 and had the MB head to match but didn’t get on with the MB head but still rate it highly,I sold the 4-10 as didn’t need it,my main amp now is a Galien Kruger 800 fusion which weighs less than my sandwich box ,it’s as good as any amp ive ever had and I’ve still got my SMX Trace Elliot head and that takes some beating,I’m running the GK head with two Vanderklay 2-10 cabs, awesome sound even with just one Cab,I’m going to sell one as I’m going in ears And they are quite light also I’ve got a GK 500 Head As a spare so I’m selling that ,I’m having a clear out of gear soon but don’t expect to sell much of it due to wots happening atm,but I’d defo try the GK heads you will love it

Ta I’ll have a bash later this week

Probably on my trb5 p And a bit of chorus,I use a midi verb 2 but on some of the stuff I’ll be going through the keyboards as some of the 80s stuff is not easy to emulate thanks for that ,great help,I was three notes missing so not a bad effort,it’s really quick and a great song

I’m going to do it on my fretless with a bit of chorus,should get away with it

Thanks for the replies everyone but as I’ve not read music since the 70 s it’s all gone out of my head so just need the notes as in d e a ect sorry to sound bit thick but allways been an ear player so always struggled with the dots was like iton the piano as well

Just the notes on the intro which is quite fast to pick out ,think it’s just based round the pentatonic scale also on a fretless I think,anything else I should know most gratefull as just want to get it right ,think it’s about eight notes ? Thanks

Can some one tell me the notes in the bass riff at the start of The way it is Bruce Hornsby never had trouble picking out things before,not sure if I’ve got it right, thanks in advance

No you ain’t but they ain’t all lazy and stupid there are some really good enthusiastic young dudes out there that love playing

Good news all the dates clashed with me already playing or away for the weekend ,Sod’s law,glad it’s sorted

Hi sorry I couldn’t do the gigs as dates clashed,have you looked on Facebook as there are various sites ie Essex coverband page and Herts coverband ,worth a look normally comes up trumps Paul

If you want your amp repaired properly then Essex amps in Witham essex is the place to go or pmt Romford as Chris who worked for the bass centre for many years knows these amps inside out,I think if you take it to any pmt shop they will ship it down to him

As suggested get another Trace Eliot,one of the older heads which is wot I’ve got,had about 30 years and allways go back to it model is smx350 that Ashdown head that was for sale has now gone as I think it was mine which was a nice head im currently using a Gallien Kruger mb fusion 800 w head which is tiny and weighs hardly anything,Well worth a look,It’s that good I got a second hand mb 500 head to go in my rack case as a spare

I had two of the orange cabs as pmt were doing a good deal on them I found them to be really heavy,Tone was great but found they didn’t throw the sound out as good as other cabs I’ve used but this could be down to amp settings or acoustics in the pub,I sold these on for the same as I paid for em as I got em half price,I was using a Markbass stack ie 4-10 hf and 2-10 hf which sound great and are light I have these up for sale inc rock solid covers they are about a year old and in mint condition,my new cabs are a couple of Vanderkley 2-10 s which are absolutely brill and light,not as light as the bare face but I think that the actual cab is better built. i was using the Markbass cabs with the 800 anniversary head which was ok but I always went back to my 30 year old Trace Elliot and since January I’ve been using the Small Gallien Kruger mb fusion head which is awesome,I’ve had the Vanderkley cabs about two months now and can’t fault em but just One Markbass cab 4-10 will do any gig really they are ok weight wise but the others mentioned are a tad lighter
