    All great stuff Guys but just watched a couple of hours of the Jeff Beck tribute concert on UThube, and not an IEM in sight. Lots of titchy, tiny (Fender) combos miked and played at comfortable levels. Lovely sounding Laney Digbeth amp & 4x10 or 4x8 cab. Am I missing something 😒

    Now that's what I believe is the acceptable balanced solution. Nice little light weight combo producing sensible on stage volume & vibe with great DI to allow the FOH to amplify the on stage performance. There are some very interesting new options available Fender Rumble 800C, GR Bass AeroTech Full Carbon 800 Combo, https://www.markbass.it/product/mb58r-mini-cmd-121-pure/. Plus your fav amp with a LFSys Silvertone or BF SC, or Two 10. So a compromise, lowish onstage volume with enjoyable tone, feel and great FOH production. Have I missed something??? Of course I haven't spent a fortune on supa dupa IEM. But I really do apologise, I am a 70 year old, olde F**t who absolutely loves playing bass having grown up in the 60's, 70's & 80's and does not get the vibe thro a set of plugs stuffed in my ears ( especially with my tinnitus) . Sorry Luddites R Us😂😂😂

    Sounds like there's no place like Gnome🤣 (I'll get my coat, as I've already upset one of our European friends on another thread)

    I apologise for my ignorance and intruding on the thread.

    Both tidy amps but you should also consider the BAM 200 prior to a final conclusion. Take a look at the threads which consider the inuds of all three offerings at this price point.

    Thanks for the heads up on these @fleabag mine arrived today, great bit of kit at such a great price.

    +1 I fitted an Artec EBC-4 to my reissue Epiphone Newport bass and it adds so much more of the 60's & 70's Gibson EBO/EB3 low end to the Newport. The combination of the EBC-4 and the stock TB Pro bridge Pup offers a very wide range of tone colours with the simplicity of balance control. The Artec EBC-4 is a great upgrade for any EBO /EB3.

    These are fantastic combos, designed by the SWR Guys after Fender acquired the SWR company. Well designed, based around the Super Red Head IIRC, rugged, reliable with huge H×ft. A great, new/old stock, vintage combo at a very reasonable price. GLWTS.

    Hi Mike, what is the model number for that case? Cheers, JohnDB
  13. JohnDaBass
    Nope. It appears to be using the humbucking PUPs used on the Squier Tele Bass. They appear to be a modern ( lower cost?) version of the PUPs used on the '72 Fender Telecaster bass. The Squier Tele bass PUPs had a much wider tonal range than the originals, an extended top end but lower output. I love the '72 PUPs I have on an all original '72 Fender Telecaster Bass and also an original '72 PUP graphed into a Mike Dirnt MIM bass. I would be very happy to own one of these Squier Rascals.

    Just took delivery of a Fender FS610 Short Scale Bass Gig bag and it fits my G&L Fallout Tribute bass and my Epiphone Newport bass perfectly. It also is a cosy fit for my 32ins scale SpectaRayVibe Bitsa bass. Happy Days☺️

    Price drop to £300 which now also includes the deluxe Fender case.

    This looks amazing, almost the perfect one-stop-amp-in-a box. (only missing a HPF) The advantage of loading personal IRs really adds to the proposition. I will probably wait for the Behringer clone to surface sometime next year!! ( BDI21 has been a great little tool)

    Lovely combos, great sound, loud as hell and built to last. Still got mine, bought new from Sound Centre Cardiff, although I changed the speaker to an Eminence Kappa 15 300w 4 Ohm back in the 80's. Still have the original square magnet 100w Eminence driver. A true 70's iconic amp. GLWTS.

    Make sure you wash your hands well before entering the Holy of Holies and picking up that magnificent instrument. It's a joy to absorb that first sight of your new "Babe" ENJOY
