[quote name='attackbass' timestamp='1503141470' post='3355988'] Yep pretty much as cuzzie says! I'm using one trickfish 210v cab and no volume problem at all - usually running the head at a little over half way on the volume control [/quote] Posting twice, does that mean you are using 2 x 210?!

Surprised no one said it yet but...... Just get both!

Daisy chain, or get a really efficient Cab that moves loads of air and goes loud enough, maker can be of your choice (not opening that can of worms!)

To Follow Osiris who knows my habits all too well. I have a Cali76G, love it, just love it. As well as compression and it's tiny bit of magic to the sound I dial in a touch of grit with the Germanium in there. Only time i twiddle (helpfully it has a massive knob for my sausage fingers) I love compression higher for a very tight punchy sound, or back it off a bit for harmonic content and evening me out, but as everyone will say, it's not an excuse to not try to nail your technique, it helps to make your nailed techie even better. Usain Bolt trains to be fast, wearing spikes makes his footing more assured to be able to perform, that's his compressor (or not now). You don't have to wear spikes of course and Zola Budd did OK!

Does the combined ohms rating not depend on whether they are in series or parallel as in series doubles, parallel halves?

Rocker Unfortunately manufacturers quite lots of figures which are 'correct' but not practical. It may pump out 600w at a peak, but unfortunately in the real world you need RMS which is what it will pop out continuously. In a small burst peak, it may reach 600w, but this may be for a second or so, when actually it's continuous power put out is probably 2-300w, hence that what it sounds like. This reported 'undepowering' is universal across many people's use. It's a shame their LH series would blow your nuts off, but strained your back humping it around

Andertons have a stupid sale on these at the moment

I had a Hartke LH1000 and Hydrive 410s Loved the amp, only moved on as it was heavy! As were the speakers but they were not too bad. Thin the TX600 is sadly underpowered, but if you don't mind the weight the older amps are really good value especially on second hand market

Hartke VXL - cheap as chips, great sound to dial in Two Notes LeBass - more expensive, but well worth it

Hartke HD25

https://www.fusion-bags.com/collections/sale fusion bags sale page - loads of great stuff and really sturdy bags. I use one of the DJ bags for my Darkglass amp and leads, speaking cables etc. you get the picture. It can fit loads of wha you need. I do use velcro cable ties to keep birds of a feather together

Hopefully they would have one in ye olde shoppe to have a go, but if you are near me ever, door is open

If I filled in one for a 12 string (4 fundamentals with octave strings) would it be a complete waste of time? I would like that very much......

[quote name='radiophonic' timestamp='1501832443' post='3347602'] I demoed the EHX, BOSS and MXR back to back and it wasn't even close. The EHX I found to be quite dark sounding, the BOSS was 'OK' but a bit thin and the MXR sounded awesome. I didn't get the chance to try the stereo options. I never use the flanger and the price tag was way higher but the quality gap was massive. No regrets. I've also found the simple crossover button to be tuned exactly right. It gets the effect right out of the way of the fundamentals - in fact I've discovered that once your strings are a bit worn in, you can hammer away on the E string and then go for a high fill and the chorus just emerges as you play the fill. I think the Boss is digital too - so not really old skool. The MXR is definitely analogue. [/quote] There you go Sid, remember the clip I sent you was one setting. Jump down the Rabbit hole and take a chance.....

Osiris - just get the MXR Bass chorus deluxe like i told you, there will be no disappointment, and i even comes with flange.......

that will be a tribute, good solid bass, baseball bat neck though if you like em thinner. MFD pick ups are very powerful, but have a treble edge to them and are not as refined as some others, but put out a huge sound. The bass won't let you down and it is good bang for the buck, but don't expect a bongo sound or you will be disappointed, just allow it to be what it is and you will be fine

Tom It's a great journey, I now play mainly pick, because I injured my knuckle on my first index finger playing rugby (it's fine no need for violins) but it just gets tired playing for a long time. What I am trying to do is learn to do either style without dropping the pick, or incorporate the two. I can just about use my middle finger in a co-ordinated fashion and go 1 finger james Hamer son, but I am trying to train the ring finger as well so I have this option, although I am not slapping I can pick and pop. Not a lot different to the geetar chicken picker players you see out there.

Another one to try is where exactly you play the strings as in closer to the neck or bridge for each modality. Each gives its own sound and bite, but judicious hand placement will achieve something as well

All the above are good choices, it's difficult as some songs just lend themselves to either style. If you can't do it via compression or simple vol turn on your bass then I may have a boost pedal spare if you want. Volume knob is probably your best bet cheapest bet, after all guitarist do it for solo's, so just set up your ampnwith it rolled off for your loudest modality and then crank it. If you get your technique down to show no difference eventually then you have spent no money

I know they are both Leo and have big humbuckers but..... Different windings, pre amps, completely different sounds etc. Closest a G&L would get to would be a HH Ray, and even then it's not close I have to agree that a Bongo is a Bongo
