What model is it? Having had a scoot could it be the MB112? Probably a single 4 ohm 12". You could run something like a TC 250w into it, or one of those BAM200 things, that'd be fine - the BAM200 is pretty cheap too. Otherwise just get a 500w head and mind the levels. No, not ideal for a high-end amp, I'll grant you.

How do we get ourselves and our rigs to rehearsals or gigs?
kwmlondon replied to kwmlondon's topic in General Discussion
When I lived in the sticks I had to drive everywhere, but honest - the gear was SO MASSIVE there was never any alternative. Now I've got a iddybiddididdy 1x12 Markbass combo I can just roll onto the underground or bus or even walk to a rehearsal space WITH MY WHOLE RIG! Back in the day that'd have been sci-fi, but it's only an option because where I live there's a metro system, buses, trams, Ubers are cheap and plentiful etc. It's not viable where my folks live, at all. -

Looks like I'm the only one to take a motorbike then! I've got a top box so the amp and leads fit in there. It's a very rock'n'roll way to get to a rehearsal! I have cycled to lessons before now but the gig bag does tend to keep whacking me on the back of the head... -
Since I've gotten back into playing I've found a whole range of ways of getting myself and my rig out and about. I did an open mic on Tuesday with a supplied backline but wish I'd taken my rig but the car was out of service, but I've downsized my setup so I can get it all on the bus or tube. I've also left a practise rig at my friend's place so I can just take the motorbike there. With ultra-light rigs, IEM, supplied backline etc are we all still driving? Must admit, it's nice to be able to have a couple of pints after playing!

I've used a few now. I'd say the 40w one is lovely for rehearsing but struggles to do the low end thing in a live situation. For small gigs the 100w would probably do okay, depending on the drummer. If you've got a GK combo and are short of money could you take the amp bit out and use it as a cab with a head?

I was very surprised! In a good way. I did miss the range of a proper rig but I will look on them in a new light. Good job Fender. I wish I’d started my playing life with some like that instead of the Crappy Laney I had when I was young…

Well done little fella!!! So, turned up to open mic night with my band and the back line was a Fender Rumble 40. I am very grateful that someone provided the amp (my car is not in service so no way to get my rig there) and I was prepared to be buried but I took down the low bass and ramped up the low mids and fair play it did the job. The 5th string was a bit lost but I would like to hand it to the little tyke and say good job for just about getting me through!

Yeah, though I’ve been trying to get the guys to do Should I Stay or Should I go because it has a nice sing/riff/sing/ riff structure !

I have been asked to take on some of the singing parts- not because I’m a great singer but to share the load. Backing vocals are easy but I’m finding singing a different rhythm to the bassline throws me off both. Any advice?

EBS Evolution Neoline Pro 212 600w 4 ohm - *SOLD*
kwmlondon posted a topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Well it’s an amazing cab and I’ve used it in the wild a couple of times but it’s completely excessive for my needs. It does sound amazing and it’s light and compact, but I just don’t need a 2x12 so I’m going to move it on. It has two new OEP bass drivers from EBS. I will package it up to send but would prefer to arrange something, could even deliver within M25 or possibly along M4 in a couple of weeks for petrol money. Or collect from me in SE14 and you can try it out. all specs and stuff here… https://thebassgallery.com/products/ebs-neoline-212- 1 reply

I do like the EBS. It's quite a tasty piece of kit... but I think it'd suit a valve amp much better being 4 ohm and very hifi so you'd get the sound of something like a 100w head cooking. https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/EBS-NeoLine-212-Professional-Neodymium-Bass-Speaker-Cabinet/P37 But yeah, I've actually been preferring the tone from my NY121.

You wouldn’t say that if you knew me …

Maybe I need more sole?

They don't have much of a pick of bass players. I can give rise to some awful behavior! They even indulge my gear fetish "oh, that's a nice new cab you have and what's that, a new pedal? I'm sure they'll sound amazing!"

Just paint your feet black. Nobody'd know.

I guess sandals may be a good compromise!
