  1. Reason for my original enquiry, latest bitsa project to land….
  2. RIP Mani, not many bassists make the front pages when they pass, says something about just how much you influenced music and culture 🙏
  3. My gut feel is that the acoustic tone of such a small body will not sound much like that of an upright, even less so when amplified. You could spend a lot of time and money chasing shadows
  4. What can be done?
  5. BC Road Trip 👍
  6. Nice to hear, I’ll get up there soon 👍
  7. That's him, many thanks @Misdee, some follow-up incoming in a few days......
  8. RD Artist?
  9. This thread has made me very happy 🙏
  10. My band certainly would 👍
  11. Yep, and sometimes something that shouldn’t work in theory results in something magical in practice 👍
  12. I have a professional interest in athletes and drug use. I was reading about Victor Conte who was one of the big players in the US steroid scene who died a few days back, and came across this. I wonder how many other quite successful bassists have found notoriety elsewhere.....?
  13. Shit happens, send them back, get a replacement set, sorted 👍
  14. Many thanks Andy, especially appreciate the advice re impedance 🙏 Any plans to bring out a Subway combo?
  15. I’ve seem double basses that don’t look as good as that case, it’s a work of art 👍
  16. I’ve owned both, and no it isn’t
  17. Lovely, somewhere between Dusty Hill and Dusty Springfield! Good taste in components also 👍
  18. My lasting memory of my 1516 was our singer's "Dude, your cab broke my car....", that and it going walkabout (geddit) in the back of a courier van only to be located in rural Suffolk 3-months later
  19. ....but not as difficult as a 1516
  20. Thanks Steve, I'll take a look 🙏
  21. Hi Mark, no this is neither small or light, sorry. I’ll see if I can get a weight from Ashdown, but in all honesty - much like an SVT - if you need to know the weight, this probably isn’t the unit for you 😕
