I was wise and got a cab which was lighter than my kettlebell 😀

I was gonna relist my 112 but its about 15kg - whats the cut off for light weight these days?

Slap rig?

So what’s inspired this rig change? I know you have some very giggable cabs already! I’m guessing the stomp is sold as it has a heap of ampeg stuff available on it

Having done the BEAD thing the G wasn’t that vital as the notes were all there a wee bit further along the D string. But I’ll admit most of the choir stuff I was playing on those gigs required more use of the lower notes so it worked really well for me in that context - transposing riffs for altered keys to almost all the original versions. So what goodies along with Sire PJ?

It’s a 4 string fender p bass with none of that superfluous stuff, just a good solid p bass (and a set of flats) to let the fingers do the talking? 😀

Ooh what’s ya get? End of year tax dodge?

So what is it you wanna buy before this arbitrary deadline🤣🤣🤣

I sold some high end basses/gear as while they were lovely they were of more value to me as money in the bank. It’s fun to own more than one bass - I have three- but one is a used CV jazz nabbed for about £100 with some minimal upgrades, the second is a P so a no brainer and the third a JMJ which is just fun to play but it also sounds great. I could reasonable shift two of these and still have enough basses for all my gigs but at this stage the cash tied up in them isn’t enough to make it right at this time. Maybe down the mine but for now it’s a pleasure to have all three. If you’re needing to get the cash shift the ones you can do without but you know that brown Yamaha will do the job... no wait it’s orange!

Yup it puts the Edinburgh one to shame. I always enjoy an excuse to get over to the weeg for a look about.

My thoughts exactly!

Free clinic with a chance to meet Sheldon, talk about his basses, play a few and he's bringing Lee Sklar's actual bass along too. No doubt there will be free schwag for all too. Anyone going? https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/news/140982/

I think that’s why I liked it. I guess some like that BDDI tone as it is ‘that’ tone. I found I could integrate the M80 more easily into what I was doing and make it more prominent if I wanted it to be. If I wanted the BDDI to be less prominent I had to switch it off 😀 Just depends what ones sonic goal is but both good units and will last a lifetime.

I was just chatting about this unit earlier. I preferred it over the sansamp BDDI as I found the MXR to suit what I was doing better. Paired with a jazz it sounded great with a hint of drive, had a good eq and paired well with my drive pedals at the time. I’m relying on a tone hammer as my go to eq unit but it’s a different voicing to the M80 with the TH a more vintage overall ‘flavour’.

To be fair a man in an elaborate frock might also work with that name

If you have some evidence of your performing and can provide a reference (if they ask for one) from a band member who can vouch that you gig you can get custom ear plugs for £40. My singer and I used each other as a reference and just had our impressions done last week. His were only £30 as he's a MU member. See the attached thread link.

That’s what I was gonna say. It sounds quite high!

What price is the bb2005?
