That's right, but I mainly do church gigs so a noisy fan wouldn't go down well which is why I only need 100w or so, our church is upstairs with the hall underneath. It's a big echo ey space that the rumble sounds awful in. However the Mighty Trace upstairs rattles the old windows... It was taken up there in 2009 and hasn't moved since 😀 I would love another Markbass, an 802 micro but I can't justify over £500.

Some good ideas here, forgot to mention that I have a Rumble 100 and don't like it very much so I'm going to sell it. To me it sounds boomy and not very clear or defined. There are a lot of buttons and knobs that just make it louder or quieter. Not like my markbass CMD 151P, which it won't sound anything like that. dunno....

Thanks guys, I'm having my doubts about it now, I had the orange 100w combo, great sound and a lot of bottom end but crikey the weight... any suggestions for anything else in that range?

Anyone rate them for small gigs? 100w head and 2x 10" cab

Pics please Rich...

The first pic shows the truss rod, the blue thing, (another tech term) Other than that it looks like any truss rod I suppose. Twincam might be able to tell you more.

I actually bought it like this from GFM very cheaply and when it arrived I then started to think what to do with it So I have a new bass that's cost about 150 shimblats cheaper than a new one. I'm heavily into these so this will be my backup until Michael (Linus 27) sells me my original Teal Stingray back.

I absolutely did, I was driving home with a stupid grin on my face! Been playing it for an hour or so and it's not even slightly out of tune.

Well my neck has been fixed! and good. Setup with a low action, plays perfectly. I would just like to thanks Twincam for all his hard work in saving this neck, I'm blown away with his expertise, highly recommend him. Thanks Aidan.

Just ordered one, thanks for that. Job done!

I have a couple of shure 57's and you reckon they'll do the job? I'll go and try it, cheers Jack.

Hiya, can anyone recommend a good pickup for making my Cajon louder please? I looked at the AUDIX 60 but it's nearly 200 quid, is there a cheaper way? Thanks for your help. Tom.

Another new bass just arrived @ chez Anderson. This is a sterling sub 4 in minty green and is in as new condition. It has been upgraded with an EMG MM TW pickup and active circuit (£100) or so and it sounds really good although not as loud as the original, but the sound is much more defined and controllable. It has a push pull volume which I haven't really explored yet, the other acts as a tone. the original pickup and circuit are in there too along with a very good hard/soft case. All for £210.

You do realise that perfect pitch is related to Banjos?? When you lob one into a skip it mustn't touch the sides as it goes in..... hence perfect pitch? oh never mind.

FWIW I used to solder my joints but now I only use KiOgon's looms, they are so strongly made using excellent quality parts as mentioned above, it's not worth bothering yourself.
