    I went from Mega heavy Mesa 2 * 10s to one Barefaced 2*10 and one 1*10. It's a really flexible combination. I use the 1*10 for practices...it weighs nothing, but is quite loud on its own. For most gigs I typically just use the 2*10 either with a Mesa 800+ or with a Handbox R400, depending on how retro I want to sound. Alex at Barefaced is really helpful, and if you don't like it, half of Bass Chat will buy one of his cabs off you, just like that!

    I think this needs urgently reassigning to Basschat Cats. It is hilarious!

    l agree with all the warnings about wanting to teach you TAB. I went to a teacher who predominantly teaches guitar, but I said to him that I wanted to sight-read rythm. I'm a big fan of James Jamerson and Chuck Rainey, and sight reading the variation in Motown, or Chuck Rainey's Steely Dan numbers is a good way of learning that style. The teacher would deliberately give me tracks to sight read that he knew I didn't know, so the lessons were always challenging. His worst trick was to play me a track and ask me to write out the music from scratch! After the lesson, I could always go and do the You Tube cheat, but it was always to help me nail down the written score. Coming back to complicated scores some time after learning them is also a really good refresher. Dean Town is a good one, as is the chord change on the original Marvin Gaye Ain't no Mountain High Enough. And if anyone can teach me how to nail the middle passage of Paladino's Any Where I Lay my Hat...I would appreciate it!

    I was given one of these to play last night as part of the PA set up. At first I thought it would be too small, but it turned out to be a fantastic little amp which competed well with the rest of the band in a pub setting. GLWS

    What a fantastic bass. If only I were right handed!
  18. Piers_Williamson
    John Entwhistle owned one of these, with Alembic pickups!
  19. Piers_Williamson
    Well that's a way of recommending why you need a significant number of basses. How about collecting pantones?
  20. Piers_Williamson
    Replacement bridge (quite a good one, but def not original) and pickups. Still a relative bargain.

    Forgive me saying, but the carpet doesn't look sticky (or dirty) enough for a punk band, regardless of the number of strings

    Do you have to take the jack plug out to put the sunroof up?😬

    This might be addressed by Ped, or the wider knowledgeable and practical end of readers.....As the proud owner of a number of Ped's fantastic straplocks, I find the top screw in my fender jazz gently comes loose over time. No problem with my trusty Swiss Army Knife phillips screwdriver to hand at a gig (so long as I have it with me), but is there an alternative solution? I really don't want to clog my beloved Fender CS with glue! Perhaps I should be more Bill Wymanesq at gigs!
