Agreed. I do enjoy the simplicity of the windows editor though, it really is easy.

I'm auditioning for a band that plays "pop" covers and need a soft fuzz sound for a few songs... Any suggestions, please? I would experiment but by laptop has packed in so I will need to make all changes on the unit itself so not as easy to experiment!

I'm in two minds on this one. I do find the same thumbnail of the opera singer reacting to *whichever heavy metal band has a classically trained singer so they're obviously going to be good* must get boring after two different videos. But I suppose "reaction" is better for the searches and the limited patience of the audience than "critical dissection of the merits of *Five Finger Death Punch* from the perspective of a chamber orchestra fifth tuba player" Still, it must be better than unboxing videos. Who really gives a flying turd about seeing any product in its box and packaging?!?!? Just demo it.

In all seriousness I love a headless bass and have been very pleased that Ibanez have done a lefty in the green one, I'm just not sure about fan frets. It would be an expensive way to try.

Being left handed is a cure for that.

Anyone mentioned these yet... 1985 Ibanez X-ING IMG2010 https://reverb.com/item/32928994-1985-ibanez-x-ing-img2010?utm_source=android-app&utm_medium=android-share&utm_campaign=listing&utm_content=32928994

This is interesting then. Ashdown do their Rootmaster 4x10 cabs in either 4 ohm or 8 ohm. So, using my RM head that runs at either 4 or 8 ohms assumedly if I buy the 4 ohm version I've got the option to add another cab should I want to. If I add the 8 ohm version I can't, or shouldn't anyway. From what I read here both 4x10s would give me the same output off the same head.... So why do separate versions exist? What is the advantage of the 8 ohm version? I've noticed there are not a lot of 8 ohm cabs on the market from the reasonably priced manufacturers (Ampeg, Ashdown, Markbass...) so I'm just wondering what the point of them is of there's no difference, only a restriction?

Thanks, I was considering replacing the 8ohm 1x15 with a 4ohm 4x10 but I think I'll try one of those amp stands that puts it on an angle first. And saving myself best part of £350

I'm not sure I fully understand it, but I think the point is that if I were to go from my 8ohm cab to an equivalent 4ohm cab there'd be bog all difference? Combined with your point that a 4x10 is likely to be a bit louder... Overall it just seems like I don't need to take the financial hit of selling off the fifteen to buy something else, I won't get my money's worth.

Didn't say it wasn't a good song, just that it's not a well known one.

So here's the quandary. I have an Ashdown Rootmaster 500 head which is pretty hard to beat, currently played through a single 1x15 Rootmaster cab that rates at 500watts at 8 ohms. I have used two cabs with this before but currently only have the one. I'm also considering taking the head unit put of a Trace combo for gigs where I want the sound of a trace amp but without the weight of the full 2x10 combo. Is it worth me getting a 4 ohm cab? Looking at the 4x10 Ashdown lightweight cab at the moment. Will it give me more output than the 1x15 on its own? I played a function with the RM head and 1x15 cab only and I couldn't hear myself on stage though I think that's because I didn't elevate the cab. I know volume isn't the pure aim of the game but I'm looking to get the most out of my amps in the smallest set up I can... Without spending crazy money or going for something like the Elf set up, I find anything smaller than a 2x10 a bit weird tbh (irrational I know). Any advice gratefully received.

I think it's a Cort.

I think there are two versions, one with EMG pickups and one with pickups labelled EMC by Hohner or something. Mine had the EMGs and sounded stupendous passive but I've never got on with 2 band active EQs. They are odd though because the F feels sooooo far away because of the strap placement. That's never been a problem for me with the Washburn Status.

Used to play this in my band. According to a few years of market research, you sir, are the only person outside that covers band and the Spin Doctors who knows this song!

I had a Hohner B2A but couldn't get on with the string spacing, sadly, so I've "done" cricket bat basses. The S1000 through my Trace amp sounds phenomenal, not just phenomenally 80s.

Yep... I've got sale proceeds of another bass burning away in my pocket. But since my 80s band folded before it could start do I need a Washburn Status, an Aria SB Elite and this...? And do I need the headache of all the vintage bass gremlins again.....

I've promised myself not to buy any more "vintage" instruments without being able to view them. Having said that if this is still for sale in a few weeks time I might well be making offers. Please save me from myself...

I've seen some of our friends and colleagues here do something similar with the single coil 50s style Harley p bass. The thread on here was very good if you can find it.

Wowzer, great looking basses. That fretless looks the absolute business!

Get an Ashdown amp like a Rootmaster and with a two button footswitch the amp will give you octave and drive. I think it was Chowny who did a one box chorus and reverb pedal. I can't remember the name of it but I think the design had a bloke in an old diving suit on it? That's two very much wanted fretless effects in one box. I pretty much always have reverb on with fretless and obviously chorus is a must have option for fretless too.

For what purpose does the list exist, I'm not criticizing I just don't understand what it is for.

Years ago o was seeing the originals on eBay for a hundred quid or so. They looked like really interesting not at all Fender like basses. If it weren't for the scratch plate that would be a winner

You know this, I know this.... I was on a band that had a mission to make our audience, usually couples aged 45ish, to sing and dance to every song we play. Drummer says no. Drummer says lots of odd things. Bassist go bye bye.

Me and one of the guitarists are desperate to do "Bad case of loving you" by Robert Palmer. The drummer claims nobody in the world has ever heard of this song, nobody will sing along or dance along.... What the actual!?!?! It's a classic.
