just a tiny bit over 4kg (on my poundland luggage scales)

You're actually right. It's not that light now I've weighed it compared to the nanyo.

I've recently purchased an '82 Ibanez Blazer for not much money. It's light as a feather and plays really nicely - a simple p bass copy pretty much. I'd also really recommend the Nanyo Bass Collection series. I've got a couple(from the 80's and 90's), and both are so easy to play and light as a feather- get one of the active ones and you'll love it. Depends on the music you make and the 'look' you're trying to convey though as they're entirely different styles.

Bass was pushed on me. When i was 15, my best mate changed from bass to guitar when their guitarist left, so he had a bass guitar and a void to fill. I played piano and a wee bit of guitar so he gave me the bass and told me to learn how to play it. I had no interest in it prior, so really my mate was pretty much the only influence! Still best mates with him 22 years later. Should buy him a pint.

They've been nothing short of astounding over the years for me and pricing is almost always the best online too. Always my first port of call!

I Desperately want a white one they never seem to pop up!

Don't know for sure, but is the USB not just for editting and updates etc? As in there's no audio interface?

zoom B3n from jack out straight into mixer normally. I only really dep now, not in a full time band, and in the wedding scene pretty much everyones IEM's now. The zoom sounds phenominal through the in ears, and I've ever had a complaint with the out front sound... so I'll be sticking to that. I think any improvements made to further generations of the consumer level amp sims will be so slight i doubt it will be worth it. For bass anyway... guitars, it would have to be helix.

Off the top of my head, these songs are almost certainly in a set list for weddings in Scotland. Almost every band ive depped in over the past few years will have pretty much all of these.

Bought a bass from Kyle. Easy transaction, quick delivery, item as described. Thanks again!

This. Noone would expect a flawless set, note for note from a dep..well in the function/wedding circuit. A few fluffs are fine... It's how how you cope with them it's the cool thing. But if you're a decent busker you'll be fine. By the way, bands are always looking for dep bassists so your number will start doing the rounds and you'll get plenty gigs if you done s good job. Exact thing happened to me. Im not the world's best player, but solid with good gear. Im reliable and il do my homework. That's about 90 percent of the battle I've found.

What kind of pain? Weirdly, I get a sore thumb on the plucking hand on some basses, after playing for a bit.

In the wedding band scene it's pretty much standard for it to Be in ears now. I had a rock band where I was basically the sound man too and we ran in ears, without spending alot.. we just do happened to have a mixer which had enough aux sends. It's dead easy. Generally though I find guitar players disliking them the most, but once they've bought in, the on stage sound is almost zero and makes life so much easier. But aye, b3n straight into mixer with a short cable is absolutely the way to go for you I think. Remember you'll probably want to run a cab SIM aswell as a preamp, especially if it's going dirty. I tend to run the svt with the svt cab at about 90% mix. Go easy on the bass coming out the b3n too , I generally keep the svt preamp at 0 on bass and I also run a hpf at thevend if the chain. Allows the in ear tone to be crystal clear, and allows the PA to receive a crisp tone to add the heft to.

Yep, exactly what I do. It's only a short run to the desk and I've never once experienced issues.

Why not just run your b3n direct ? Exactly what I do and sounds immense. Apologies if this has already been covered.

I used to avoid small body basses just because I'm a big boy and always felt a bit daft holding them. I now don't care therefore my favourite bass now is a nanyo bass collection which is wee!

I used to like this programme when it was more about the repair rather than the emotions surrounding the piece! Always feels contrived to me! This bass one dies sound interesting though!

Yep, very similiar to that. similiar level of support but mines would be a lot more flush to the connecting surface, so that when it isn't needed it can be twisted inwards to be unobtrusive. It would need to be retro fitted and i would imagine a very thin metal base plate would need to be attached to the cab, so not sure how many id sell... and to be honest, it would probably give little support. Not sure Id even buy one.
