[/quote] Only thing to be wary of with the Supercompact is that it's somewhat limited in the top end. Essentially the Littlemark's treble control (10khz) has little or no effect going through a supercompact (max 4khz).

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1488902449' post='3252793'] So all these were just for show? Aaawww... [/quote] Indeed - Good though innit. He must've been knackered loading all them in and out.

[quote name='Jack' timestamp='1488905098' post='3252816'] I really don't know why they even make 4ohm cabs. The advantage of slightly more output power seems negated by never being able to add another cab IME. *Assuming 4ohm minimum load, obviously [/quote] THIS. The only 4ohm cabs worth having are 8x10s / Trace BFC type 'all in one cabs'.

Similar to a thread I started - the best advice / answer I had was only sell if you [i]have [/i]to. If you like the Jazz and can afford to keep it, then keep it. It is however, commendable if you can stick to a one in - one out rule. I definitely can't. I'm up to 8 Basses now. And I like them all for different reasons. Letting go of any would be difficult.

[quote name='Roger2611' timestamp='1488632218' post='3250609'] Nice bass but the knobs are not original and I don't think the bridge is original (should be black) I have the same bass in pearl white. [/quote] I think the bridge is Black, it's just worn. Like the rest of the bass, which I have to say looks very rough. Certainly been in the wars....

Two words that REALLY don't belong in the same sentence i'm afraid. GAS and Logic. One has little or nothing to do with the other.

One covers band I know around my neck of the woods has a father and son who cover Bass and Guitar duties, and they usually swap half time.

Well, what I can say is that before Barefaced, I also used Ashdown cabs, and my amp was an evo2 abm300, then an ABM1000. The BF 10in cabs are much closer to sounding like Ashdown cabs than their 12in cabs are.

[quote name='GuyR' timestamp='1488442530' post='3248914'] I'm confused as to why you would only have four Jazz basses? [/quote] The guitar rack in my house only has 8 slots. It's full.

[quote name='Naetharu' timestamp='1488384788' post='3248490'] Honestly, if it were me I'd just keep them unless you need to sell. I guess if you have one you never play then perhaps get rid but it's always a shame to loose an instrument you like. I sold my Japanese Jazz-Master in Sea Foam Green a while back, and while it was a sensible move (it paid for my bass rig, which I actually use, where as I am a crappy guitarist and didn't do justice to the thing) I'll forever feel a little sad that it has gone. [/quote] Therein lies the difficulty, I do [i]like [/i]all of them.

[quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1488384231' post='3248482'] [size=3][font=Calibri][color=#000000]Lewis, keep all the Jazz basses and sell the Yamahas instead. The Yammys just aren’t as “prog rock” as the Jazz basses! [/color][/font][/size] [/quote] HAHAHAHA

[quote name='ROConnell' timestamp='1488379048' post='3248421'] IMO sell the Flea bass as it's stack knobs, which your RW already has. [/quote] Yep, I think if any do go, that'll be the first.

[quote name='uk_lefty' timestamp='1488380136' post='3248434'] You don't seem to have a fretless jazz on there. Get yourself to your favourite bass retailer and solve this problem! [/quote] Possibly the only thing I've never GAS'd for is a fretless of any description!

[quote name='fleabag' timestamp='1488362716' post='3248177'] Sell the YOB Silly name, whatever it is, so it has to go [/quote] YOB = Year of Birth / Made the same year as I was born.

Seems to be just the fact that the SR4 is made in limited range of colours only, all with rosewood fingerboard only, has a 2 band EQ, and comes in a gig bag instead of a hard case. That's it as far as I can tell.

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1488361504' post='3248163'] Priceless . Only on here could such a justification even be considered. [/quote] I know!

Well, not quite, but I used to have 2 gen3 super compacts and now I have a two10. Very different IMHO. The 12's are very neutral, what goes in, comes out. That's what they are supposed to do. The two10 is more 'voiced' like other Bass cabs. Again, that's what it's supposed to do. There's also a bit more natural top end in the two10 vs tweeterless super compact. I prefer the two10 out of them. To my ear, with the same amp it took less EQ to get the tone where I wanted. The difficulty I encountered when using the super compacts was that they sounded SO different to what I'd used in the past, and the two10 is more traditional sounding. I went to Barefaced for 2 things mainly, the Low weight and High power handling. What I wasn't really prepared for was the drastic change in tone from the super compacts. With the two10, I've got what I wanted regarding the weight and volume capability, combined with a tone which is much more like what I was used to. Winner for me, YMMV!
