Up The Junction - Squeeze

I've been gradually stepping back from the frequency of gigs over the last few years - the current main band I play in only does between 4 and 7 gigs a year, so it's not very invasive on my weekend nights at home! I actually enjoy the regular rehearsals we have as much as the gigs! However, I've been getting involved in an acoustic folk band over the last year, now playing acoustic bass and Kala Uke basses a lot. It's such a refreshing change to the 'full band' situation (quieter, more relaxed, less gear to heave about, and it's all loads lighter anyway!). It also opens up a while new genre of audiences - again feeling like a fresh start. I hope you find a balance with your home and music - but as @tubbybloke68 says, never say never! All the best 😉👍

Anyone remember this CD being issued free with one of the bass guitar magazines back in the 90's? I thinks it's a compilation of the then current endorsees/users of Trace Elliot gear.....😉👍

Everything was bl**dy heavy in those days! My Peavey TNT160 was a hefty old hector, and only came with a single strap handle on the top. Good job I was nearly 35 years younger then.....😆

I'm not up on the identification of the cab unfortunately, but I'm definitely with you on the sound! Way back in the 90's I borrowed a Trace Elliott 4x10 combo type thing off a mate while my Peavey TNT160 was being tinkered with. Id always loved the look of them, and everyone on TV etc seemed to be using them. It had a great tight loud sound if I remember rightly, but I couldn't seem to get the low end growl out of it that my Peavey did.........

I made one from a piece of ebony on my most recent home-build towards the end of last year, and it sounds and looks great! (Grain going across the width of the nut).....😉👍
