A +1 for these. Stupendously good for the price, esp if you can grab one used.

The zombiest of zombie threads!

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.

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!

Current herd - a recently acquired Revelation Bass VI being the newest addition. Don’t think I’ve ever been above 6 in the arsenal at one time but I can see it happening this year...

Damn, I’d have had one of those at that price.

Here’s the catalogue they featured in... https://guitar-compare.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/1992_B.C.Rich_Catalog.pdf

Think it’s one of the versions of the NJ series. edit - I see I was just beaten to it, and with a more precise answer!

Think it was as part of a ‘guitar, bass and drums’ series. Pretty good as I remember.

Nowt wrong with Ashdown ‘watts’ in my experience. Have own ABM 1, 3 and 4 heads over time and never struggled for heft. Love TE stuff too but the continued presence of Ashdown plus their customer service(which is amazing even years down the line on the age of a product) is a huge, huge tick in the box for me...

I doubt Sixx or Simmons have ever been too bothered about people respecting their musical ability. 200 odd million album sales between the bands gives them a fairly solid reason for not caring too in fairness. Each to their own and all that though obvs...

Horrible news. Have had a Lull on my wish list for a long while.

Fallen in love with Mustangs this last 12 months. That looks an absolute belter!

Available on the website too, for those who don’t have a store nearby. https://www.tkmaxx.com/home/kitchen+dining/kitchen-cleaning+utility/lemon-oil-polish-473ml/p/79536727

The Electro-Harmonix Mole is an option that you may want to have a look at.

Pantera opening for Megadeth in ‘92 springs to mind. As for Young Neil, guess he’s always been a bit marmite. Never seen him less than amazing across the last 30 years or so.

It was written by a white man of Russian Jewish descent if I remember correctly, so I don’t think you need to worry about appropriation as such. For a song with such a heavy and inflammatory subject matter I’d be concerned just with what the ‘purpose’ of performing the song is, as for me performing that song has to serve a purpose. Secondary to that I’d be basing it on whether you feel justice is being done to the song and if it fits/works in the context of the rest of the set. Best of luck with it all.

So many of you lot seem such very lovely, patient, understanding people.... I’m not where band matters go though. For me it’s a tell him straight you’ve no interest in playing someone else’s lines and if that ain’t in agreement with his view, walk. This said, I am a self-diagnosed bolshy git! 🤣 Hope it works out for you, regardless of which approach you decide to take.

Common fault then possibly On those as mine had the exact same issue. GuitarGuitar fixes it under warranty for nowt just after purchase. Been perfect since.

IMO you’re not getting a full comparison just playing seated. The different in scale feels more pronounced to me when standing and comfort/fatigue of your left arm may differ as a result. if you’re moving from guitar then a shorty is an ideal mid-point in scale, and ultimately it was the market Fender had in mind when they first came out. The suggestion above re: Squiers is a decent one, particularly the Vistas. if you do prefer the feel of a Mustang in further consideration, have a look at the MIM Mustangs. P/J pickup configuration on them so you can get some sort of approximation of the P and J bass tone, or a blend of both. if you’re savvy these can be had secondhand for the £350-£400 mark. Anyway, as primarily a P and Mustang player now, either are good safe bets for me. But I am kinda biased as, in their own way, both kinda feel like ‘home’.
