Just listened to it. Sounds pretty good to me and I'm a Beatles fan. IMO it's a great song.

Can you really feel .05???

Is the singer asking for more monitors because the guitarist is too loud? I know a guitarist actually turning down is the ninth wonder of the world, so maybe turn his amp away from the singer.

The cabs were Bergantino AE112's and the amp was an 800 watt Thunderfunk. I used 1 with an acoustic guitarist, 2 with my cover bands and 3 with a very loud blues rock trio. I liked the idea that every cab was a backup to the others. In the end I replace the Bergs with 2 Barefaced Super Compact 112's. Loud and great tone in a very light weight box. These days my go-to amp is an Aguilar AG700, but the Thunderfunk still gets a gig now and then.

Do these apps do chord charts?

That's the one.

Very interesting. If I was spec'ing this I'd have probably gone for the Kubicki headless approach.

IMO if you need to go light then a modular, building blocks approach to a rig is best way. I've done this for the last 10 years. My main rigs have been 1, 2, or 3 112's. I even had a 212 and 112, but that was a little too heavy. I believe GK Legacy heads go down to 2 ohms so you can use any combination of cabs. My Ampeg 410 weighed 90lbs. No one needs to carry that much weight anymore. I've tried 210's but they are heavier and the 112's on the market these days are very, very good and have no down sides.

Obviously an opportunistic attempt to get some cash.

I saw The Stones at the O2 and the whole evening was anchored by Charlie's drumming. He never missed a beat and underpinned the band in a simple, effective and fantastic way.

Depends why you are going for lightweight cabs. IMO if you have a "problem" why would you carry two cabs at the same time? I have a bad back and usually gig 2 112 cabs. I never carry both, because that is twice the weight of carrying one. The number of trips to the car are irrelevant. Why would I want to lift more than the least weight for each trip? I would always go for multiple 112's or 210's and build up the rig from there. Yes, it's more expensive, but each lift is better, which is the whole point if you have to go light for a physical reason.

Beautiful bass. I'm very jealous.

Very, very sad news.

No hum on mine either.

I've done 5 gigs in 3 weeks, now "resting" for a month. I still feel very nervous walking in to a gig, but I'm double jabbed and always carry antibacterial spray and wipes. If Covid finally comes my way, the percentages are on my side that it will be on the level of a cold. The more antibodies the better.

Has anyone told you yet, get another 210.

If you want your rig to have a "look" then get a matching gear. If you want your rig to sound the best, all options are on the table. I haven't had a matching rig for 20 years. Mix and match can get fantastic results.

I've spent many years trying to expand my playing situations, and you're trying to reduce yours. I don't understand that approach to being a professional musician, which I believe you are.

Hi, I was, but sold it about 4 years ago due to the weight! It was a very early bass with the original Lakland Barts and I forget which Bart pre amp, but the sound was one of the best, which is why that bass was my go-to for nearly 14 years.

I put Barts in my P bass about 40 years ago. Can't remember which ones, but they made that bass sound wonderful. I also put the TCT pre amp in but IMO that was a waste of money. The Bart pickups were amazing in passive mode on their own.

For me, playing music and listening to music are two totally different things.

What bass? What amp? What style of music? What don't you like about your sound?

I don't use pedals, apart from a Pitchblack tuner . Never have. I bought a Thumpinator once but it sat on the shelf and I never got around to trying it. I don't recall seeing any bass players on the circuit using pedals either.
