    That's it. I am DONE.

    I'm done. I only need 2 basses. I played a Jazz with rounds and a PJ with flats for most of the last decade.

     

    Unfortunately a back issue means I've got to find a lightweight replacement for the Jazz. So far, none of the basses I've tried have been "the one". I didn't expect replacing a favourite bass to be this hard.

    Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2023?

    This year I've looking for a special lightweight bass. I bought 4 (Cort, Ibanez, Lakland, Sandberg), 1 amp (TH700), 1 pedal (Sadowsky SBP-1), Mono Vertigo, and Sleeve gig bags, a strap and 2 sets of Dunlop strap locks.

     

    A busy year. All very good purchases, but none of the basses have made themselves indispensable, so I'll probably sell them all next year, and try again.

    . . . . The only thing that slightly bothers me from the reviews,  is the lack of out and out bottom end. I have never had that problem with a BF cab. However, the ability to hear yourself, even when right on top of the LFSys cab, is a huge plus point.

     

    I heard several LFSys cabs at the SE Bass Bash. IMO they are worth investigating.

     

    There is no "lack of bottom end". There is plenty of bass but it is tightly controlled which eliminates much of the boom and woolliness you get on many gigs.

    At 63yrs old I’m pleased I don’t have any back problems or mobility issues 

     

    That’s why I still lug the SVT212AV cab and V4B around to gigs while I still can !! 

     

    The time to start looking after your back is when you don't have any problems.

    For years I humped a 90lb 2x10 and 90lb 1x15 around. Great tone, but way too heavy. In my 40's it was just about doable, then my lower back finally gave out in my 50's, with a herniated disc. Thankfully D class and Neo have kept me in the game. I'm also trying to downsize my basses to around 7lbs.

    My lot supported Danny Bryant a couple of years ago at the John Peel Centre in Stowmarket.  I think he was the drummer on that occasion.  He completely ignored us, unlike the other band members, took nearly every single bit of the soundcheck time fiddling with his own IEM mix and came across as an arrogant d!ck.  

     

    The curse of the support band!!
