PAs have got so much better now so for alot of people, an amp is mostly for stage monitoring and tone sculpting these days. A 200wamp with a 1x12 or 2x10 will be sufficient for lot of people.

i had this exact cab and i replaced the speakers with Kappalites, and in my opinion, it elevated it to a proper pro level cab. This was over 10 years ago and have no clue what driver model i went for, so this is an almost pointless post, but I think they were about £60 each. I did go to 4 ohms too. I did disconnect the tweeter though!

If i went back to an amp set up, I'd go for something like this, but also a matching extension cab. Dunno if this has a matching 2x8 cab, but i bet that set up would be better for the slightly larger gigs.

Another forJamiroqai, but my first taste of them was Emergency on PlanetEarth. The tone is probably more to do with the bass than anything, but absolutely loved it, and it was one of the first albums I actually sat down and learned!

Has to be under £500. Theres so many basses available new and 2nd hand under £500. If you're hitting £750 to £1000, your options are getting less. still lots, but less.

IMO, this is exactly what you want from a showreel. lots of energy, interesting camera angles, quick cuts and zooms. Crowd dancing and singing along. Also, important to have a vertical version too, as so much social media is consumed vertically these days. This is my bands version for an upcoming gig, in the similiar vein, a bit less punk. https://www.instagram.com/p/DRZ7sdzlK7V/

Yes, they're astonishing basses. Here's mine next to it's older cousin! The only thing i dislike is the actual finish. Might be different with the other colours but onthe black one any finger or sweat marks shows up - always looks a bit mingin in photos!

I know I'm late to the party but these things are great.

Decent player, puts an interesting twist on bass guitaring. Never seen any of his longer form things but for a wee laugh and a bit of bass content on my lunch break, i quite enjoy his stuff.

Not the most exciting but I once bought a 6 string fretless bass on gumtree. When i got it home I realised there was quite a heavy duty strap in the case. I used that strap for years! The bass... think i had it for about 3 weeks!

I've got the Harley Benton AirBorne, £44 (although you'd need to pay £10 delivery unless you can spend over £150). Works flawlessly, and the battery is great. Lovely wee case too. They do feel a touch flimsy but ive had them for a while and they're still going strong!

You can also find some quite high quality midi files for free or for a few quid on most tunes. Those files hand in hand with some choice VSTIs can get you a pretty decent basis of a track. Then add little bit of your own playing on top for abit of flavour. That's what I do for the tracks with my band. It can take a bit of time, but I quite enjoy the process! Just need to ensure you dont use the very obvious and unnatural midi file bits.

If i was 14 today i'd ask for a 2nd hand peavey tnt 115. Sounds great. plenty loud. easy to move about. lots of ins and outs. Completely future proof.

My wee band that do a gig about every 12 months will be doing a big show in Glasgow next year. Movie themed rock covers.

Bought a US jazz. It felt like it had werid dimensions despite having great experiences with many US, mexican and other Jazzes.. Hated it.
