Sadly the closest I've got is when I used to have 2 separate Rootmaster 1x15s hooked up together. I'd love to swap my RM 2x10 with someone for a 1x15

Will they be allowed on day release for gigs?

Best approach and a good use of your consumer rights. I can sort of understand the shop policy though. Imagine if I had them bring up all their lefty basses to my nearest shop for me to walk out going "nah" after brief tickle of 10k worth of basses that could have been on display for a serious buyer somewhere else. 20pc is a bit steep to stop Tom foolery though, 5pc would be adequate to sift out any time wasters, and what if you try the MB but prefer something else that is in stock, would they transfer the deposit over?

Oooofffff I do love 2x 15s. There's something about sticking two of them in a single huge cabinet that just makes it somehow better.

This thread has revived at an opportune time... My 80s band wants to start to audition keys players.... Wish me luck! Every keys player I've ever met has had a distinct serial killer vibe.

I'd be very happy if Marshall brought out their own bass amps again. I used to list over the DBS amps and I check ebay for a local one at the right place every now and then. There's no reason they can't do well at it if they make a solid product.

Love it. Being a music theory idiot I find these fascinating, as well as Rick's sheer enthusiasm. I also love the song too, now I love it more.

Lovely jazz. Enjoying the ashtrays, stack knobs and colour combo.

Agreed. There's some really trivial B. S on YouTube. Reaction videos, unboxing videos... Years ago over in the US my nephews were watching videos of adults playing with toys, it was some weird marketing type stuff to demonstrate toys but I felt a little sad that they were watching this rather than just playing themselves. Probably like me watching bass videos instead of playing bass myself!

Super. I really struggled to find a good bass chorus. I went through the Behringer bass chorus, Boss bass chorus, Eden i90 or whatever it was called, Hartke, and then the chorus function on various multi fx. The Hartke was the only one I found reasonable for bass, the others were just... Meh. Quite enjoying using the guitar chorus effects on my Helix for the bass at the moment.

Nice! Is it a guitar chorus that you've commandeered for bass?

I started off with a Tanglewood P copy. Years later had a Hohner PJ which was no better than firewood. Then a Warwick Steamer LX with the PJ arrangement. I had an MIJ P bass, 1970 reissue with a Steve Harris pup and Steve Harris massive thick strings, I loved the size and clarity of sound from that but eventually moved it on to fund a jazz... Now I've made a PJ bitsa and it was OK, until I put a DiMarzio PJ set of pups in. This is now a proper P bass sound!!

"30% off"

Ash.

I don't think you'd need the extra knobs from what you say in your post. You can have two effects assigned as on/ off on the same button too, so I made one yesterday where pressing the footswitch engages both chorus and Reverb, so it's quite flexible. The only things it really doesn't have is wah and bass synth.

You'll get a reasonable enough sound because you're looking at good quality gear there. At low volumes you're well equipped. It's of or when you want to play with others you might need a bigger speaker and a bigger amp to push it.

Really? I thought the Fender amp was quite expensive. Not sure the Fender amp is going to give you much more than you get from the zoom, though having had an older generation of the Fender modelling amps I know they're very good. I'd say get the Ashdown. By selling the zoom you'd lose a lot of stuff with the effects that you won't get back from a modelling amp. Plus you can use the zoom to plug in to a PA for gigs and so on... Its generally a more useful thing to have IMO.

Ha! I think that's all part of the social media game though? Would like to see him in a band context, like Mono Neon has done, to prove its not all bedroom noodling. I'd love to be able to play like that, but I don't think it would work in amongst Jumping Jack Flash, etc.

Thanks everyone. I got a primary school style hand drill and bought a set of very small drill bits. Job done accurately and no drilling all the way through or slipping around.

Ebay should auto fill "plays like butter", "custom" and "rare".

My bad, thought we were talking about left hand blisters....

In case I get a blister I use one of these...
