    I'm a bit late to this party, but here's mine for what it's worth: tuner - limiter - unichorus - l/hpf with a Harley Benton power supply and a homemade base.

    I've owned this cab from new. In very good condition, barely a mark on it, it's done a couple of gigs but never pushed. All works as it should. It comes with a Fender cover (I don't think Fender made a cover for this cab, the one I have was bought for a Rumble combo 500 which is the same size, and adapted with hand holds to the side). If you want a new one they are around the £330 mark if you can find one, most major shops are a three month wait. Collection only, Faversham.

    good story and amazing right hand technique

    The Musicmaster is a great bass to play and it sounds as good as anything I've heard (a bit subjective, I know). I've made a couple of essential (and reversable) upgrades - the pickup is a Curtis Novak, and locking compensated saddles - otherwise pure Californian '71.

    Here's my #1 Fender rig: Bassman 500, Rumble 2x10, Rumble 1x15, Musicmaster, tuner and HPF out of shot:

    two gigs a month is ideal for me. I'm more interested in the difficulty of travel / parking / get in as I find most pubs (where we do pretty much all our work) are much of a muchness. That said, our gig last Sunday was at one of the loveliest pubs in Kent with the worst travel & parking I've encountered.

    That's bad news. Hope you get it all back undamaged and the scumbags who did it are caught. I will keep an eye open down this neck of the woods.

    looking at the specs for this unit, I wouldn't rely on it for a two-setter down the pub, when the quoted battery life is only '2-3 hours'.

    I bought a Marshall 50w head and 4x12 from a bloke in a pub in Willenhall (the Brown Jug at Lane Head, if you know the area) in about 1973/4, he claimed he was Noddy Holder's roadie and they had been given a load of new stuff by management so the old gear was being sold off. I never checked out if the story was true, but it was decent and well worn gear and the story suited me to believe it. My first amp & cab, it lasted me a fair few years before I foresaw back-knack.

    what strings are you using? It could be a simple as changing to a different set.

    I've one of these basses too. It is great to play and probably worth spending on if the sounds available improve as a result. The stock pickup options are humbucker/single as far as I know, but there isn't a massive sound difference when you're strings are flats. I'd be interested to know if there are easy mods that can improve the sounds available, to upgrade this from a great bass to a 'first choice of the rack' for gigs.

    Is there a difference from an insurance perspective on whether you are driving to a paid gig or unpaid - e.g. an 'open mic'?

    Oh I thought this thread was going to be about Nadine Dorries

    going back to the gig bag question, I've got a Gretsch Junior Jet bag which is a very good quality bag. It fits my Musicmonster, LPJT doublecut and, perhaps not surprisingly, my GJJ.

    well worth a listen. She's so imaginative, creating distinctive bass lines that add so much to the songs whilst remaining a team player.

    On a slightly different point I played at an outdoor urban festival a few weekends ago, a council/community event, where the FOH sound was well balanced and appropriately loud except there was virtually no 'low end' in the mix. I wondered whether the sound company had been told by the client to minimise the likelihood of annoying neighbours by filtering out any sounds that might carry any distance.

    I picked up a cab, an ebay purchase, at 2pm yesterday and drove straight to a gig, loaded in at 3.45, soundcheck at 4.30 and started the first set at 5. And the new cab sounded great! I'm sure others could beat a three hour 'purchase to gig' turn-round, but I was pretty chuffed by my experience.

    Hi Is the Neo 115 still available? best wishes

    The 'A' string snapping at the beginning of a new year's eve function and not having a spare. Smacking my headstock into a conga player's forehead leaving him with a nasty cut.

    I do enough gigs to make the 'hobby' pay for itself, and have decent gear and great memories as a result. I've always done band stuff in parallel with a full time job.
  22. NHM
    that would be a great combination!

    Fender flats are great for country rock, and not too expensive.
  24. NHM
    I've done it too, perhaps post the results of your survey here? How about a follow up survey on strings?

    Hardly used power amp, just done a couple of gigs running a vocal PA. 2x225W into 8ohms, 2x300W into 4ohms or 600W into 8 ohm in bridge mode. Slight bend on one rear handle, otherwise in very good nick. A good quality amp. NOW £80 NOW £75 Now £70 plus £10 postage
