My rig is a HX Stomp into a QSC K12.2, a rig that will set you back about 1k now, but likewise, I'll not be going back to an amp/cab setup.

HELP Best short scale strings Hofner Violin Beatle Bass?
Frank Blank replied to BassManGraham's topic in Bass Guitars
Definite +1 for Newtone Strings, had sets made for both my ACGs, lovely tone, great service. -
Keep going, there’s some silly ‘big amps are best’ nonsense early on but it soon settles into a really thorough discussion of the topic. Reading that thread lead me to totally change my views on bass amplification and ultimately to a completely new rig that I’m really happy with.

No. After reading comments from people far more technically knowledgeable than me on the highly informative... ...thread I decided using a sub was pointless.

I'm beginning to lose stiffness leading to more lifting, do I need a neck reset? -

A good bass into a good amp. Nothing else needed IMO!

Thing is with the Sires that they are such good quality it might be the only bass he’ll need until he’s my age!

John East P-Retro - never to be made again?
Frank Blank replied to CameronJ's topic in Accessories and Misc
I had quite recent email contact with John to get some new knobs and springs (fnar) for the ACGs, he apologised for delays to some of his mails as he had working on his own since lockdown. -
Did music lessons at school help with your musical life?
Frank Blank replied to Nail Soup's topic in General Discussion
I really fancied both my music teachers at school which was rather a distraction whilst attending lessons but conversely this encouraged a disciplined regime of after hours practice on the pink oboe, unfortunately not an instrument recognised formally within the comprehensive curriculum during the 70s. -

Anoushka Shankar and Gold Panda live at The Proms right now, totally amazing. -
I would still love to know what type of wood the two bits I gave you were.
