    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?

    I’d consider trading for Markbass NY121 with cash my way.

    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

    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.

    I think I may ditch the EBS and get a second ny121. The EBS is overkill really.
  13. kwmlondon
    Do you think it'd have been fine with an extension cab or do you recon you'd need more than 500w?
  14. kwmlondon
    I've got an EBS Neoline 212 that I may move on and just get another 121...

    I'm very impressed with the LMIII and NY121 setup - there are times it'd have been handy to have them in one package so I can really see the advantage of the combo, definitely.

    I’ve got the head and cab- is there any difference?
  17. kwmlondon
    I keep coming back to this….
  18. kwmlondon
    You wouldn’t say that if you knew me …
  19. kwmlondon
    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!"

    I'm 47, I've not been fashionable for two decades now.

    Just paint your feet black. Nobody'd know.
  23. kwmlondon
    I guess sandals may be a good compromise!

    I have no need for one of these, nor the space nor the money but damn I remember seeing them in the 90s when they came out and wanting one sooooo badly. Still do. GLWTS
