The problem with 6 strings is, they're mostly at the boutique end of the market, and ridiculously expensive. There's very little second hand stuff at the budget end for people like me who just want to dip their toe into the water and try out a 6er.

Really? You don't say. 😂

7 string bass? Nah, those guys have just gone too far! 😂

Cheers. I'm actually waiting for this to come back in stock. A lot of bass for little money. https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_bz_6000_nt.htm

I'm actually currently in the market for 6 string, but they're all way too rich for my blood.

They all sounded like a farting bee on my phone.

Half the time I can't even remember what instrument I play.

Shouldn't this thread be called banned photo's. 😃

Also. I'm thinking the hedgehog is Rydian Roberts.

Just watched the latest episode, and without spoiling the results, the one voted off this week is an absolute legend in my eyes. I'm a missive fan of their music, but still wouldn't have guessed who it was. Also I can't believe they were voted off against the competition. Sorry to be vague, but I don't want to spoil the results for anyone else who is interested but hasn't yet seen the show. Spoiler below Don't read any further Don't look Close your eyes I warned you........ (It was .........self moderated and deleted so as not to give the game away)

Welcome. Talkingbass.net is a great place to start. There are loads of free lessons and resources, but I would highly recommend the bass fundamentals course.

The best thing about the whole show is the costumes. Some of them are superb! The costume department should be proud. Everyone else involved should hang their heads in shame. 😂

The wattage is no problem, providing the ohms ratings match.

And it's absolutely superb!

Just watching it now. Jesus the American, oriental looking judge guy is irritating! Don't know if I'll bother watching any more. To be honest, I probably won't have the fist idea who the so called "celebrities" are even once they're revealed.

No. It works the other way around, which at first seems counter intuitive. A 4 ohm amp will run 2 8ohm cabs, giving a combined load of 4 ohm, or a single 8 Ohm cab at slightly reduced power. Basically don't worry about it. Pretty much any amp on the market will run an 8 ohm cab. Just be careful if you get an all valve amp, as you will have to select the load. Anything class D, or solid state will be pretty much plug and play.

Because there is no "standard" way of quoting power ratings, and while RMS is preferred by most, it is at best, inaccurate. Even then, wattage and volume aren't as closely correlated as people think. Anyone will tell you, Trace Elliot watts are far louder than their competitors. So, with the lack of an industry standard, why not quote peak ratings? They're probably the most accurate, and Bugera are far from the only ones doing it. Even high end manufacturers like Trickfish quote peak ratings. Plus it sounds far more impressive on marketing gumph, which doesn't hurt.

I'd just seen the number on Amazon drop 2 two as my finger as hovering over the buy button. I was hoping you had taken the plunge. I'm so tempted to buy one myself, but I have to pay a extra £25 for delivery, and while it's still dirt cheap at that. I've got a heavy financial month and I'm trying to talk myself out of it. Well done for buying one. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I absolutely love mine. I'm sure @stewblack would also tell you the same.

I'd take their arm off at that price! I'd do it quickly too. Only 3 left according to Amazon. I've got the Mosfet version, and if i'd paid £500 it would still be the best money i'd ever spent. In fact I'm tempted to buy the valve version myself at that price, just to see how they compare. These things are unbelievable! Absolute tone monsters and the power that just keeps coming. I've had mine over a year now and it's all I ever use. The noises it makes are sublime. Not sure how the 3 year warranty would work buying from Amazon, but you definitely get it buying direct from Thomann.

Yay! Working in condensed mode fine for me now. Cheers

The head is fine, but for what it costs to pick up a decent second hand bass cab these days, I wouldn't even bother risking the guitar cab.

Sup wi ya? Banter is the best part of being in a band. Without the banter I wouldn't be interested.

Cool. That's done the trick. Thanks!
