  1. Probably the specifics might be down to our good friend in Petulma @agedhorse, but is there any reason I shouldn't use a large combo on its side? The combo in question is a Mesa Carbine, it would only be used at low volumes when on its side, and at present main concern is that on its side one of the fan vents would be blocked, although I'm worried there may be unknown unknowns? Interestingly the unit should have fitted upright into a nice little alcove in my new studio, but guess what......? Thanks Chris
  2. If you're the type of guy who holds on to a single bass over extended periods of time you're going to struggle on this forum Only joking, lovely bass, sincerely wish I could find one bass to rule them all, god knows I've tried........
  3. Nice one mate 👍
  4. It works sadly 😕
  5. Great rig BTW, I would be very happy to be gigging that 👍
  6. £4k for a passive Stingray? Seriously?
  7. Great unit, all my mobile work is done on one of these, the plugins alone are worth the asking price 👍
  8. It’s your right to sell to wherever you choose I guess, but why only EU?
  9. See how it sounds in the final mix before you do anything, amazing how the style of play can define the recorded instrument as an upright as opposed to electric bass often more than FX.
  10. That’s how a Jazz should look 👍
  11. Well, I started taking this apart on Friday and it was clear that it is a bloody well engineered piece of kit, after 2-hours I'd only managed to get the door out. Continued for another couple of hours on Saturday managing to get the whole front wall out. But even what was to all intents just over half a side wall weighed a bloody tonne even without the door and rather heavy glass!!! So, i decided to call on a few friends to do the rest but realised pretty quickly that this is a job for pros, we left a ladder and some wood in there just in case having dislodged the ceiling ever so slightly! Today four very strong and experienced removal guys came in, and it nearly beat them as well. While I was cursing the builders at times for having used so many screws and such heavy panels, it brought home the difference between buying an off the shelf and relatively lightweight unit (I looked at a few that were all very expensive compared to this) and having one engineered by guys who know what they're doing. Even the base weighed a tonne and turned out to be, like the sides, triple ply and about 3-4cms thick! No idea how I'm going to get it back together in the new studio, but that's a problem for a couple of month's time now I guess 👍
  12. Thanks mate, no problem at all, appreciate the thought, and glad you got a sale 👍
  13. Likewise mate, likewise 👍
  14. if the sale falls through mate let me know and i'll have it, I've got some gigs coming up, a fretless would be nice (not gonna be playing anything from Graceland on upright bass anytime soon after all), and this old thing especially so 👍
  15. My 9-year old plays drums in there and I hear a muffled sound at about the same level as ants walking across a floor! An yes, please tell your friend that a simple padlock would suffice
  16. Hope he hasn't got a Hannover as well as a missing string?
  17. Give him some abuse from us also mate, he's the sort of guy who gives bass players a bad name, no spare strings is up there with guitarists forgetting a cable, drummer forgetting sticks and singer forgetting songs
  18. ....which for a lot of people buying gear constitutes the largest audience they're ever likely to play to
  19. This'll be available for about another week if you're in the market for one of these it's not only a very good price (prices have gone up hugely since I had it built) but it'll also save you quite a wait as it seems a few of the builders are struggling to get materials at present
  20. I take a spare bass to the Dog & Duck just in case, I'd need my own truck for a European tour
  21. I think the ability to use a combination of experience and perception to modify the environment to a specific state is the science. The art bit is the performance itself 👍
  22. You’re on tour with a bassist who doesn’t carry a spare set of strings 🤔
