I would have thought the Genz Focus cabs (a couple for sale here recently) 1x15 would work just fine. I don't think they're uber heavy either. Caveat: I've not played one!

G3 SM incoming, hopefully in time for practice tomorrow night. Will post impression soon, if you're interested.

Is it Black Keys with a better drummer?

If I ever form a funk band it will be called Clusterfunk, so you can't have that!

BVs only here. I've done a lot more in my current band than ever before and the noise I make has improved. On it's own my voice is not that good, but it blends in well with my singer, somehow. Small problem is intonation, I play fretless, and there isn't a fixed frame of reference...

Pinged a link to our guy, he's in Bicester and his main band don't seem to have a gig then

Is that a real poncho?

looks like it may be heavy, are they?

Well, the PB300 takes a line level input, it looks like the DB-1 has line level out so that should work too. This is from looking at the websites, NOT personal experience BTW!

Some pictures I've seen have wooden control panels which to my eye spoils the look of otherwise interesting looking basses. It just looks like a school woodwork project to me on an otherwise amazingly crafted bass. In general, that is, not [i]just[/i] CT basses.

Don't junk the pickups if they don't appear to be working. My mate's Verithin had both pickups open circuit and were repaired very reasonably, much better than buying old replacements. I think you can source most bits on ebay ok. Good luck with it!

Is that a hybrid variety of potato?

Money? Probably no point in trying to emulate his effects, I think he used to make his own. He certainly used his own fingers, and you can't copy them!

I can't think of a bass with a wooden scratch plate that looks any good. I know it's a matter of opinion, but they always seem to look a bit rubbish. I'd happy to have my opinion changed by suitable photo evidence though....

Check the fan is working properly - if it's a bit clagged up it won't cool as efficiently

Try the Ministry of Jazz for be-bop instead

Thanks for the input chaps. I recently sold one of my G2 Midgets with a view to getting the Super. I only ever used the pair in rehearsal, one has covered the gigs so far, easily. It's really the tweeter I'm after, as I use a separate one in a little box. It's just that we've got a gig coming up where the extra cab might be needed. Though I suspect a Shuttle 6 through a SM will be enough. I can always unload the G2Midget if it proves surplus to requirements.

No, he said "it would be INCORRECT to assume that"

Do they play nicely together? Any one on here tried this? Any user input welcomed!

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1439060115' post='2839740'] Wonderful. I flirted with flamenco dancing some years ago. Lovely stuff. Not easy, but sometimes I wish I'd persevered with it. Especially as it is a form of dance that you can do at any age. [/quote] Along with "dad dancing", of course...

I wouldn't necessarily agree with that - I have just this, an El Son piezo tweeter (apparently as used in some Trace p.a. cabs) and it works fine for me, just filling a bit of top end where the Barefaced Midget runs out. It isn't overly hissy either, it adds a nice click to string on fret if you like that sort of thing, but for me it just makes the fretless sound a little more acoustic, or natural-sounding, for want of a better expression. It has some built-in crossover (no idea what frequency, but probably quite high) and no attenuator,but the treble control on the amp controls it's range fine. Maybe I just got lucky!

If anyone was around Watford in about '75 or '76 you might have seen a band I roadied for called Media. 2 Shergold twin neck guitar + bass, plus bass pedals and a keybard player! I don't remember either of the guys complaining about the weight, but I did put my back out carrying the Rhodes, as a scrawny 15 yearold.
