    I had one of the isobaric 2x12 Orange Terror Bass combos for a while. Stupidly loud for it’s small size if you can find one used. But otherwise yeah, BF plus micro head, of which there are plenty of very decent options.

    Neil Young and Old Black. Not the only guitar he uses (White Falcon, Hank Williams old Martin D-28 etc) but Old Black has been his main electric since the late 60s...

    Ernie Ball Beefy Slinkys (65-130). Had the nut filed for the wider strings. Plays and sounds a dream and always has.

    I love having a bass strung BEAD and have had one this way for 20 years or so. Can’t comment on any other makes and models but it worked a treat on the two mid-90s Japanese Precisions I’ve done it to.
  5. mr4stringz
    YES! Very, very interested in one of these.

    Briefly looked at both of these a while back and seem to remember the nut width is different but don’t think there’s much other than that.

    The Vintage Jaco tributes (V74MRJP) are a lot of bass for the money. I picked mine up used for about £140 if memory serves. Very decent starting point.
  8. mr4stringz
    Another +1 for an MIJ.

    MG and Ashdown are so great. That reminds me, my ABM400 needs a service...
  10. mr4stringz
    Love the look of that.
  11. mr4stringz
    This 100%.

    I love a deal and generally buy secondhand stuff. My favourite deals? Probs the £350 I paid for my ‘76 Ripper about 15 years ago, and the £275 I paid for my Jap Foto flame Precision, which is my absolute favourite bass of all time. New stuff a deal is harder to come by and I generally end up moving new stuff on.

    “I’m not gonna get all weird”, says bloke who spent the previous 4 minutes getting all weird. Move on, Roger. Everyone else has...

    Having read this thread my long held view that I just can’t fully trust wall hangers enough to use them remains steadfast,

    Christ. Proper bargain. Great amps.
  16. mr4stringz
    +2 for these. Great amps for the price.

    Cool and thank you - I’ll definitely have it off you if you do have a change of heart. I’ve been thinking of picking one up for a while to give it a whirl in my bass and drums two piece. All the best.

    Damn!

    No clue on these but I’ve found that a Dano Longhorn is pretty on the money in terms of body dimensions and weight for my just turned 8 year old lad. New they’re a tad overpriced imo, but I hunted about and found an eBay bargain for £160. Weighs nowt and s/s so it’s ideal.

    That punk still annoys some people after all these years is very...punk. Likewise a man who’s been dead nearly 20 years. There are a few rather ‘un-BC’ comments on this thread. Shame that...
  21. mr4stringz
    Nice. Matching headstock on the mint one too.
  22. mr4stringz
    A +1 for these. Stupendously good for the price, esp if you can grab one used.
  23. mr4stringz
    The zombiest of zombie threads!
  24. mr4stringz
    Agree with the above on the SP212. Had this arrangement in the TB combo I had for a while. Dinky little thing but Christ that thing could shift some air. Be surprised if the performance of the OBC212 was any different.
  25. mr4stringz
    Suggestions above are bang on. I would suggest finding your way with one method or the other first for a couple of months or so though. There’s plenty to get your head around and get used to generally and flitting from fingerstyle to pick and back again may not be beneficial this early in. Just my thoughts though. Enjoy!
