    Thanks a lot for your help folks. I really appreciate it. I use two Trickfish Bullhead 1K heads that drive two Trickfish TF112 cabinets (I play in stereo) and would really like to switch to two Trickfish TF110 cabinets. I got this from their web site but I'm not knowledgeable enough to know how this really translates with volume, etc. TF112 Specifications: https://www.trickfishamps.com/cabinets/tf112/ 1 x 12” proprietary Neodymium speaker built by Eminence® HF driver (3500-20,000 Hz) 80° conical horn 300 watts peak handling Custom crossover with peak protection and HF Attenuation 2 x NL2 Combo connectors Baltic Birch Dado and Rabbet Joint Construction 8 ohms Freq.

    Thanks a lot. Unfortunately not what I wanted to read but what I expected frankly. I was hoping to switch out my two 1x12”s with two 1x10s due to size/weight but given I play post-rock and it gets loud in places I just don’t think I’m going to be able to do that.

    What are the main differences between 1x10” cabinets and 1x12” cabinets folks? And would you say a 1x10” cabinet can produce 50%, 60%, 70%, 80% of the volume that a 1x12” cabinet can deliver?

    Some brilliant stories here! A mate of a mate needed a bass player for his band at school so I lied and said I could play bass a little bit - I got a cheap Jazz knock off, played along to Definitely Maybe and muddled through the first few meet ups. In hindsight, none of us were particularly good so I blended in just fine.

    I used a Tone Hammer with two SL112s - I liked them a lot - nice and light of course but they definitely have an "Aguilar" sound. Frankly I don't think you can go wrong with them overall. For what you need, I think it depends on how loud your band play and whether you all go through the PA, etc., etc. To play safe, I'd say a TH500 driving two SL112s will cover you. I haven't used this myself but I saw some new GRBass equipment at NAMM that is VERY light - the GRBass 1x12 cabinet weighs 7.5kg whereas Aguilar's SL112 weighs 11.34kg.

    I tried out for an originals band a few years ago - I'm reasonable ability wise and I learned all their songs, wrote/prepared basslines and played along to their CD for a couple of weeks. I'm also very, very reliable, turn up to rehearsals and gigs on time, have my own transport, have good equipment and I do what I say. The audition went really well - good feel, no bum notes, etc., etc. They tried out another guy at the same time - I knew him well - he was a very, very good natural bassist. But I also knew he had a reputation of being very flakey. A week went by and I figured they probably went with the other guy but chased up anyway - I got a response from the band leader/singer - "I wanted to go with you, blah, blah, blah but we went with the other guy because the guitarist and drummer overruled me, etc." I responded and said I was disappointed because I really enjoyed playing with them and wished them all the best, etc. Then I got a text and email about a week later to say the other guy hadn't shown up to the two band rehearsals since the audition, wasn't responding to their messages and did I want to join. I politely declined - I didn't feel I was cutting my nose off to spite my face either - I figured I'd either be walking into a band where two of the three members didn't really want me there anyway or the band leader is a liar.

    And the first 50 seconds of this is so beautiful to my ears. It's pretty nice after that too but it gets a little too wacky for me towards the end.

    Most of the bass gymnastics music I hear is dreadful to my ears. Not crazy quick or mad playing but I absolutely love this by Rich Brown.

    Is it any good for metal?

    I'd rather buy a secondhand US Standard Fender Jazz/Precision at this price point personally.
  11. thebassist
    I'd go with 'Dirt Box'

    This.

    6 string with ebony would make this perfect. Great seller here folks - GLWTS.
  17. thebassist
    I keep on looking at this instrument. The build and workmanship is quite incredible.
  18. thebassist
    Completely agree here.
  19. thebassist
    Somebody is going to get an amazing, amazing that is Fodera quality for the price of a new Fender.

    Hearing that record prompted me to quit the band I was in and get lessons. It had a profound effect on me. For me, there is electric bass pre-Jaco and electric bass post-Jaco. And I love Bright Size Life with Pat Methany too. Mental to think Methany was only 21 at the time that was recorded.

    I wonder how the Trace Elliot Elf and TC Electronic BAM200 compare - anyone used a BAM200? https://www.tcelectronic.com/Categories/Tcelectronic/Bass/Head-Amplifiers/BAM200/p/P0DI5#googtrans(en|en)
  22. thebassist
    Beautiful.
  23. thebassist
    I'm very interested in this too.
  24. thebassist
    Wow - what an amazing price!

    I either don't respond to clowns like this or respond with childish things like "To you, £500."
