Looks really interesting!

I use this to power 9 Volts item and it really lasts around 5 hours. It's almost the only powerful 9 Volts power bank I found a few years ago... It also integrates a torch lamp, which is very useful, has 2 x 9Volts sockets and a "power left" display. https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_powerplant_powerbank.htm

The TrickFish is bigger. 🤔🤣

Welcome to the club @Billy Bongo and I'm only 57 years old. Honestly I really don't understand this revival for the crap of the 60's and 70's that were called basses back in the day and which were only firewood... 😉

I love ToneRider, as good if not better than boutique pickups without robbing the bank.

Nice job!

According to your budget go the Ibanez road (lane?) @Billy Bongo and as @itu wrote if the instruments doesn't talk to you, try another one. 😉

By the way, congratulations for your new job ! 👏👍👌

Let's say Uli Behringer's Watts (Bugera belongs to him too) are just a tad bit ambitious: remove a zero at the end and you have something more realistic, which, by the way, also had very optimistic wattage for those who remember the good ol' days.

Funny that nobody seems to read what others have written...

First series only had the zero at the end, then they slowly started to stamp the year at end.

If you front the rear with back at the front left and mix them using the lateral switch towards the back does it pick up the strings well?

The Jazz Bass pickup is from 1970 and the Precision Bass pickup from 1981 for one half and 1976 for the other. Both are official Fender pickups.

Urm, urm:

Worth checking this thread too:

I was indeed mine, bought new, @Smanth, and I truly think that @DanOwens and I are really taking great care of our amps, instruments and everything. It's simply called respect. Hope you'll enjoy this wonderful little box as much as I did. Take care. Cheers, Tony.

So @Billy Bongo what is your budget as it might help a lot for the basses proposals?

I practice a lot totally unplugged, I think you won't find a cheaper alternative. That said I recently bought a brand new Boss Katana 110 Bass combo, mainly because of one function (to first give it a try and then assess) : the 1 Watt output power position to play at very very very low level with a decent sound : it's for my ears when they need to rest (Menière disease and tinnitus related to these not so frequent episodes these days), not the neighbours as we don't really have close ones. Verdict: it sounds really really good at 1 Watt, has plenty of possibilities with it's integrated multi-fx, has a very good headphones preamp (more on that later), is quite light and is fantastic at full power, which made me sell my two AER's... Everyone is offering his best headphones of choice, which is great, but you seem to forget that on cheap (and on most) amps the headphones out is relying on the cheapest opamp the builder could find and this means an awful sound through headphones. That said @Amy Smith seems to have vanished like 99% of the time...

The Phil Jones Briefcase can be battery powered (motorbike battery type) and will give you an excellent sound. https://philjonesbass.net/cms/index.php/product_bbc/ But to my ears the GSS 06B400 Mini Bass Amp with its dedicated 7S35V2 intelligent Lithium battery pack sounds better https://www.guitarsoundsystems.com/gss-06b400-mini-bass-amp-c2x15043753 https://www.guitarsoundsystems.com/gss-7s35v2-intelligent-lithium-battery-pack-for-guitar-sound-systems-mini-bass-amps-c2x18346407

Ampeg SVT-300 + 810 turned all the way up. You won't even hear the police helicopter launching missiles at your window.
