I'd be very interested in hearing your views on it. In my experience cheaper FRFR speakers can rarely handle bass, they appear to be pieces of equipment where you get what you pay for. RCF, QSC and Yamaha seem to cut it where very little else does. Very foolishly I recently sold all my basses, amplification (I have a few leads left!) and now I've seen the error of my ways 🙄 I am looking to replace it all, I could get two of those with change out of the price of a QSC.

Definitely.

Welcome @bassnorman

Yes. I used mine as a monitor taking a line out of the back to the desk. So bass > HX Stomp > QSC K12.2 > desk. At gigs without PA I would use the QSC as backline.

Amen.

Welcome @Puzzler, I agree wholeheartedly with @SumOne, you've potentially saved yourself years of searching for a decent bass, Sandbergs are superb instruments.

35. The Duke of Ted.

Superb film, reminds me of another similar excellent Arena documentary Searching For The One-Eyed Jesus. Actually, they are very different but there is a similar vibe running through both.

Should have gone for 35, clearly the silhouette of a gentleman of quality and distinction, ahem.

Number 35 Alfie Noakes… 😂

I had a QSC K12.2 which was a little heavy but fitted just right on a small sack barrow. Once you've played through a decent FRFR rig it's difficult to even imagine going back to a traditional amp/head setup. It was a game changer for me for sure.

Without doubt.

No, still isn’t.

Man, I’m not saying how many times I saw Adam and the Ants, suffice to say Dirk Wears White Sox remains to this day one of my top five albums and I bet we have been in the same audience more than once!

I remember liking them but there not being anything in particular that made them stand out from many other bands at the time. I liked the b. side of Unexpected Guest, a track called Dresden I seem to remember but other than that I don’t remember any of their songs despite seeing them so many times.

I think I’m correct in saying Bauhaus played at The Rock Garden six times in 1979/80, none of which I attended unfortunately as I was dossing about with Killing Joke but my girlfriend at the time attended all the Rock Garden gigs as she was a big, big Bauhaus fan. The early, early Bauhaus gigs were mad but brilliant.

Now that's a quality set of badges, however, the essential Crass badge is missing. See me after class.

Just as a counterpoint to my earlier post, the one enthusing about selling all your gear, it's already driving me clean up the wall and I am now popping over to the marketplace... I may be sometime.

Welcome @GazzaJAnimal

The more I think about it I believe this was exactly it. I got more into the trying, buying, selling than playing. I just needed a reset I think. I also got stupidly engrossed in the daft find the perfect bass nonsense when TBH I think for 95% of us 95% of the time a basic Fender would do the job. Which is why Jabba is building me two custom jobs, ahem.

Well, no band (not just because of Covid) and wasn't practicing, wasn't even picking them up so I sold up and bought some camera gear, but, having said that the two basses being built here... ...are for me so really I should qualify that it felt great to sell all my gear however, I do have two more in the pipeline, ahem.
