This seems almost too good to be true. ive registered, and just waiting for the email. Thanks for sharing!

Most of my gigs are deps these days. I wouldn't learn 30 tunes for 80 quid!

Sounds like none of you are pals so I'd just walk if I were you. even if you did sort things out, sounds like they didnt want you to be involved so who really wins. Sounds like the drummer just found people into the same things he wants and they all agreed.

Other amps I'd played at the time. My own ears decided whether it sounded rubbish or not, back in the day we could make our own mind up based on experience, we didn't need to wait until someone told us our opinion. Aye i know this is a 5 year old post but i dont think i replied!

I'll be honest... if you really need a basic and loud amp these days, i dont think you can go wrong with anything! You could get a trace elliot 1x15 combo for £100, anything ashdown will do the job. Peaveys will do it too. As you say, weight isn't a problem therefore the amps all the guys want rid of now are on the market and are dirt cheap.

Although my main setup is a stomp, I've always used zoom stuff and if i had to go back to my zoom ms60b i would be fine with it! I bet the B6 will be brill!

Another vote for a 2nd hand harley benton! Matter of biding your time and eventually one will come up!

A small 2nd hand active speaker is worth a shout! plus you get a bit more versailty! Might be a mad idea but i picked one of these up off of facebook marketplace for £30 recently: https://www.amazon.co.uk/KAM-RZ10A-Active-Speaker-Built-Black/dp/B01G7SYVNK/ref=asc_df_B01G7SYVNK?mcid=684f423ee63739b48154292e5fe4439e&th=1&tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=696385059973&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3409122903263770849&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9046913&hvtargid=pla-773084311572&gad_source=1 Cheap, small and extremely light and i suspect handles bass better than the very practice amps available. Obviously this is not aimed at bass players but honestly, if your bass sounds good already then what else do you really need from an amp. Doubles up as my practice guitar rig, and will be my music station for the garden when the weather arrives!

If I had 500 I'd probably look to get a 2nd hand nanyo bass collection 5 string. Great neck and the come in various models so I'd just wait till I found the right pup variation I wanted. Saying that I've just recently got a cort 5 string.. single cut. A but iut your price range but I would 100% recommend it if you can push the budget up. I would also suspect the cort ones in your range are also fantastic!

Looks lovely! As a matter of interest, the pups you took out were also Bartolini? the ones in mine are Bartolini but presumable the US versions were an upgrade? or did yours have something differently completely?

treat yourself! Thomann have it alot cheaper than anywhere else and weirdly the price i got it was 733, it then was 729, now its 725!... who knows where it stops!

I've been looking to get a 5 for a wee while then I saw a local band a few weeks ago and the bassist was playing one of these. It looked and sounded great and in fact I thought it was something a bit exotic. After a bit of googling I realised it was a cort and a very reasonable price for what you get. Got it today. First impressions is it sounds great. The string spacing feels close so will take a bit to get used to but don't think it will take long as it feels pretty comfortable. Love the look of it though. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea and it definitely wouldn't have been my cup of tea even 10 years ago, but amazing how tastes change!

I don't mind them. I dep in a few wedding bands who run them and my own band use them. I see them as an extra bit of sheen to the whole sound.. bit of keys or synth for bands that don't have a keys player and maybe a bit of bvs . Also great for a shaker or something. If the tracks start to have solos or they have parts that the players on stage should be playing, the line has been crossed!

https://www.soundclick.com/lefrash/?content=songs I was in a wee online community for a few years which was about writing and recording a tune a month on a theme. I think this was a movie theme! https://www.soundclick.com/lefrash/?content=songs

Sturdy keyboard stand raising the amp up to closer to ear level?

Edited I thought the music you were playing was classic rock. Dunno where I got that from I would probably just match what the guitarist does. If he can play those tunes a step up then chances are it will sound and play fine a step up on bass too.

Not music related but I'm pretty certain old point and shoot digital cameras will start going for ridicoolous money.

I've got a patch set up like this for the odd gig i go through an amp. Left is full on amp sim/cab sim for FOH... the right is signal chain with no amp/cab sims to go to the onstage amp. Works a treat!

I would love a Warwick corvette but with a neck that sits lower in the pocket, so that the strings and pickups sit closer to the body. For some reason i find basses that have strings so far away from the body uncomfortable to play!

That white one is lovely!

my 10 year+ old Protection Racket is beggining to fall apart. This could very well be the replacement! Thank you!

I have an XR18 and absoilutely love it. As an in ear monitor system, its astonishing value. One question i have though is I've noticed that if I set up two channels to be stereo linked on one scene, but then load up a different scene, the stereo link remains on. Everything else changes exactly how I'd expect between scenes, apart from the stereo linking. Does anyone know if there's a reason for this, and is there anything I can do to stop it? This is on the behringer app if that makes a difference.

I've been scammed out of 180 quid on here years ago as I did a bank transfer and then the item got "lost in the post". Bit of research led me find out I wasn't his first victim! Almost all deals will be fine but just be aware that's there's no 100% guarantee!

I had a red aerodyne jazz with black scratch plate. Massive regret treating it like shit and then selling it for peanuts.
