[quote name='bumnote' post='820927' date='Apr 27 2010, 06:07 PM']I think thats a rant from the heart not the head Im the one oin our band who has the fuses, soldering iron, solder, tools, spare leads, batteries etc, While I agree about the thought of professionalism the most valid thing to do is assess the risk. If you take a spare amp, do you take a spare cab as well? I drive a V70 and there is room for 1 passenger and thats it. The rest of it is absolutely jammed with gear, as is the guitarist V40 and the drummers car. Having said that, even if there was more room, a spare bass amp is not necessarily the most essential spare to carry. I would suggest that thing that would stop most bands evening is the desk/pa amp, and I would be surprised if you or anyone takes one of those as a spare. I or the guitarist could plug into the pa at a push. We run a desk into an active crossover and into 2 power amps. If an amp goes we could get by with a single power amp, if a pa speaker goes we could get by with 1. If we loose the desk, theres nowhere to go. Evening over.[/quote] I've always thought we were most vulnerable with the desk/power amps etc. As long as ur PA and monitors are decent, that's gotta be the best bet should your bass amp go down.

Lovely cavities!!

Plus one for Wharfedale EVP. I've got a 12 incher (ooerr misses!) and it'd pretty darn good!!

I play floyd stuff regularly. Yep it's dropped D butv ur average punter will never notice if you play in normal tuning and play it an octave up !!

I think they're probably all making more money doing functions?

I've got one in my garage - it's about as big as my fridge, and nearly as difficult to transport!!

I had a brand new MIM Jazz that did this. A tiny dab of loctite did the trick!

Bought a set of Fender prints from Chris. I was kept informed throughout the transaction and they arrived well packed in good time. Buy with confidence :-)
