Lots of good suggestions here, but as always there really is no "best" because we all have different tastes, needs and budgets. I play fretless around 95% of the time, and I have owned a lot of very nice examples over the years such as a factory fretless 71P, Veillette Archtop, Status S2, Wal, Ken Smith and an ACG. But, the one that speaks to me the most is without doubt the one I own now - the Franz Sirius. Not cheap mind

[quote name='obbm' timestamp='1481814971' post='3195392'] Just recently got hooked onto Spector having bought a Shorty. Just pulled the trigger on another, not a Shorty but short scale. [/quote] Do tell us more Dave

[quote name='Acebassmusic' timestamp='1481764356' post='3195016'] I don't know if there is a "Quote Of The Year 2016" thread but this would be my nomination. I get the feeling I will be using this phrase in the not too distant future [/quote] +1

Have you had it less than [url="https://www.thomann.de/gb/helpdesk_moneyback.html"]30 days[/url]?

I bought a Providence Dual Bass Station from Harry (my second, never should have sold the first) and he was a pleasure to deal with. Put in on hold for me for a week while I sorted payment, sent it tracked and kept me informed all the way. A pleasure to deal with - he's one of the good guys

Nice review, nice bag, good score on the freebie! How heavy is it though? I always love the idea of double bags, but they get serioulsy weighty with two basses in them!

I sold a(nother) strap to Mark. Very smooth and easy deal. He's a good 'un.

I sold a strap to Tom. Smooth deal. He's a BC regular and I'd happily deal with him again.

[quote name='bassbora' timestamp='1480072564' post='3181434'] walbassist, I just wanted to say thanks for spotting the strings at the Gallery. They arrived in the post this morning. All looking good. [/quote] My pleasure. Glad you got sorted

Super smooth transaction. Anyone who starts their PM with "Good day dear chap" is okay by me

If you have a trawl through the site you'll find lots of similar threads. Mono Sleeve, Mono Vertigo, Protec Contego, Protection Racket, Gator ProGo all get lots of love, as do others. It really comes down to what you like, and which aspects of a gig bag are most important to you personally. As for me, I like the Mono Vertigo the best of all the bags I've used.

I'd have thought a 2x12 would do the job you describe, although I am not familiar with the TC range of cabs. What amp are you using?

What a brilliant (and generous to offer free) idea!

For me, it's all about playing to people who are up singing, dancing and having a good time. I'd always take that over a larger wedge with no audience. That said, I don't depend on gig money as a major form of income. If I did I might have a different opinion.
