If you need it to be the size of an M81, and you're keen on it. then just get one. I highly doubt there will be too many other options which fit your criteria.

I'd be happy with that TE setup for volume and quality. If its not loud ebough then chances are the band are too loud, or youre playing a venue that youll be needing pa support anyway-your amp would them mainly be for monitoring. Te stuff is heavy and lumping it about can become tedious pretty quickly I find. I love my te though and because I rarely play gigs where I need it, I don't mind rolling it out on the occasions that I need it. All really depends on your usage!

I've bought plenty things over the years that I end up not liking but I generally buy 2nd hand so I never really lose out financially cos I just resell. No biggie!

Has to be the Yamaha 605 for me. Although it's not a bass that looks right getting played with a pick!

Tremendous. WOuld love to see more detailed videos on how you play the stick. You're a great singer too by the way

Good video but what maniac would design a multi pedal controller that only takes USB power! ha

Never owned a dedicated HPF pedal but always HP'd on my various multifx over the years. It just makes sense. Can't say for certain that it makes a big difference cos I've never properly A/B'd it but I also can't say I've ever really had a problem with boomy stages for the past decade or so and I'm always always happy with the sound I make... they all might be related to the HPF

I own the ZS10 (non pro) and the AS10. I find the AS10's ever so slightly more smiley face EQ...... but it isnt massive. both great.

Great wee project that! You'll not be losing money that's for sure!

Pretty much from day 1 of gigging I knew there was no real prospect of going pro whether that was in a band or a working musician. I've been in many originals bands which I'd say only 1 did anything of worth but even that I knew was never going to be a career.

I'm not pro but work with pros and semi pros. Think most has been covered above but for emphasis I'll just repeat a few things in different words. Reading: clearly is advantageous but really depends on the circles you frequent. Plenty gigs out there that Reading isn't a requirement. Prep: always make sure your gear is fine, and you have replacement bits. If you're given a set to learn, make sure you learn it. Faffing about: don't do it. Everyone wins if you just turn up, plug in, line check and everything sounds like a bass. Nobody wants to hear you spend 20 minutes dialling in a tone. Over playing: don't do it. There's definitely a time and place for it. But that's a small percent. Other band members might look like they're enjoying it, but over playing gets tedious very quickly. I'm sure there's more but Scotland have scored so going to concentrate on the football now.

Me neither. Mines last ages so the cost vs usage is not a particularly big worry of mine. Plus mine just degenerates slowly.. it doesn't juat die mid gig... unless there's circuits out there that do!

Received them this afternoon. Very comfortable, and seem really well put together. Soundwise, they are extremely loud compared to my old Sennheiser HD206's. They have a bit of "smiley face" EQ, which i quite like for general listening but not so good for recording, or bass playing IME. One niggle is that the left ear squeaks when moved and is quite loud but hopefully that disappears once they're worked in! Overall, quite happy for less than £40.

although... just in the past 30 seconds, I've purchased a pair of OneOdio pro-30s. Might be cheap nonsense but after a few strong youtube video reviews thought i'd take a wee chance!

KZ as10's for in ear monitoring. I bought these on a whim as I've been using the kz zs10s (non pro) for years and loved them, and thought id try another model with a slightly different frequency profile. Bass sounds absolutely delicious and they don't muddy, which i find alot of headphones do. Problem with this style though is i find them a bit of a faff putting them off and on so they're not ideal for home use.. especially with the foam inserts i use - takes 5-10 seconds per ear.

love this

+1 for the SY1. Only had it for a short period of time, and never used it live but i was mightily impressed with the organ sound and the tracking. Can't remember it doing that grindy hammond sound that Lord had, but i'm sure mixed with a few other pedals, you could come up with something!

I genuinely wouldn't even try to play it as it is on the record. This is a very easy one to busk along with and change the structure and feel as you go dependent on the crowd participation. half time bits, double time bits, double choruses, etc.... crowds absolutely go nuts for it. Well maybe drunk scottish crowds

I've always set my HPF at 50hz, and I sound great.

I'm not a GNR fan boy but like the early stuff, and I actually quite like Chinese Democracy. This sounds very much like the dregs of their musical ideas. Plus. that's not how Axl sounds now. That's just a complete fabrication.

Nice one! I had an LH500 for a while....so loud and clean.

I gig with a HX stomp, but I've went through alot of the zoom stuff. The MS60b is a genius bit of kit. For my function gigs, id happily use my ms60b. Obviously you need to be a bit more realistic with how its used over the 3 pedal stomp but from sound alone, you'll be happy.

I use a Protection Racket Bass Guitar Case Deluxe. semi hard case for the bass, and a big enough pocket for my small pedal board (in its own case) and cables, then an additional pocket for some basic essentials (lube and condoms etc) It's on the bulky side but nowhere near as heavy as a proper hard case. and the big pocket at the front means i i can normally get away without carrying an extra case... which I love.
