Twas in vein this morning, at least I had longer to negotiate the snow.

I am tempted by the black acoustic but I'm on early shift next week and my alarm goes off at 4am, normally, perhaps 3-45am this week would be bearable.....

Having said that... there is something to be said for the P.A that runs out of steam before it hits the bar area as that is where people can get away from the sound. [/quote] That's always been my philosophy. Play to a sweet spot. We play weddings mainly so you don't want to be loud to the point it puts people off. We have an extra set of tops if required along with our wedges, never needed anything more for a medium sized hall with a crowd of 100-150.

Interesting, our guitarist is a sound engineer and is looking for thumps as he reckons they're the best. Not sure if I agree. I have a couple of 15" passive subs and a 500w crown amp that have served me well. Sounds crisp to me and the drummer loves them too. I hope he keeps the receipt!

If your anything like me, you'll only be arsed to take one, but want another as an option in case you get bored or there is some work going on to your main axe. I nearly won a cassidy on ebay, special edition silver burst, twas lovely. Went for around £320 I think. And I agree with the t bird comments. Sounds pretty good but it's a workout keeping them in your grasp (mine was modded too, with a quality strap, still behaved like a seagull in a school playground at lunchtime)

Stumbled across an open group on Facebook called "the bass guitar". Omfg! Guys tearing lumps out each other over their subjective opinions, the old, an seemingly constant "4/5/6 is better than 4/5/6" (delete where appropriate) argument and general character assassination. Ok most seem to be 'merican but some Brits too. Sometimes it's funny but it's rarely educating. I was always of the opinion that us bassy types were laid back, noble, wise and mildly intoxicated fellows with nothing but respect for our mutual love of the lower frequency, as we all are on here. Throw a book of faces at it and everyone loses their minds.

Best colour combo imo. For the first time in ages, I don't have a white one. Beautiful!

+1 for cool as....

I can see why it's referred to as a jazz on steroids! It's definitely a bit more aggressive with the taps right open. It can be tamed though by backing off the neck pick up. I think it's almost identical shape wise to my sb2 (photo of the sisters attached) It took a bit of setting up, action was high even before my chromes went on, but I've managed to get as low an action now as I ever have, brilliant! I've heard the fret finishing can be dodgy with these but no issues, smooth as the proverbial. Sustain in bucketloads as per with a g&l, really happy. She'll get a proper workout at practice on Friday, can't bloody wait!
