Bleat

I believe "seafood green" is a shade of vomit.

If you are 8 weeks in and enjoying playing the bass, then I would go for it especially for £50 including the Peavey amp. You obviously like it! A new bass doesn't always guarantee that it will be "better" than the Encore. Though I'm not a massive P bass fan, I bought a PJ Encore a few weeks ago for about the same cost. Very well built, sounds like a Precision bass, plays nicely. I just pick it up when I feel like a change from my usual bass. In fact it plays better than a few more high end P basses I have owned previously.

Dreary and depressing. One listen through was enough for me. I never really "got" The Beatles to be honest.

My 1993 Washburn B200 LP bass. I have had it just under 3 years and it cost me about £200 from eBay. It will always be my #1. Looks great, sounds great, plays great, it's pretty much all I need. 😎

Add an accordion and there you have it... The Heimatdamisch plays Scott Devine. I would pay good money to hear that version.

Well not only does it mean there is more of the same to follow, by Vol:10 they may decide to go to 11 just for that extra little push over the cliff.

Well this is "Vol:1", so you know what that means.....

It might be worth having at look at Laney Amps shop on ebay to see what is currently available. They have had a fair bit of bass gear on there recently, mostly new old stock. I recently got hold of these brand new 2x10 Atom/Nexus cabs for about £200 each. La Voce speakers, 400 watt rms each, lightweight at 17kg, very well made. Can do landscape or portrait.

I so very nearly put up a picture of Starsky and Hutch, but opted for Jazz Club instead. 😄

Does this mean the thread is now correctly intonated?

There are some T-Rex Tone Trunk 56 boards including hard case for £49 + £10 postage on Reverb at the moment. Not sure if that is suitable for what you are looking for? I don't even have any pedals at the moment but very tempted to buy one anyway! Edit to add it can be used in or out of the case.

.... and 2 FREE sets of Laney stickers! 😍

I've just taken delivery of 2 very nice brand new Laney 2x10's. 17kg, 400 watts each, neodymium LaVoce drivers. Cost me £400 so pretty much everything these Ampeg cabs are for a fraction of the price, and a lot nicer looking.

My totally uninspiring Encore P-bass in incredibly tedious sunburst finish with not very complimentary nasty faux tort scratch plate that I decided would maybe look better with some fab and groovy flower stickers attached. I thought it would maybe encourage me to pick it up and play it... it doesn't and it didn't...I hate it and probably couldn't give it away.

Overrated: Trace Elliot: Every tone you could want as long as it's mid scooped. Ampeg cabs: Awful tone in a box. Underrated: Marshall and Laney bass amps/ cabs: Never had a Marshall or Laney that I didn't like the sound of.

Audio Technica ATH-M50X. Tons of bassy goodness 😎

😎

It's a Stagg bass fitted with their unique "Ermmmm?... Bucker"

I lost interest at "bassist".

Marshall MB30, and the older B25. Both loud, great sounding little practice amps. B25 no frills volume, the MB 30 being very versatile tone wise. I was also quite impressed with the small Blackstar Fly bass stereo speakers I had for a while.

Naming instruments? C'mon man Grow up! They are just pieces of wood with strings. In fact I was talking to my bass Gladys about how ridiculous it all is just the other day when I was putting her to bed.

I use Swing Bass 30-85 and have done for quite a while. Not the usual thing for a "rock" bass player but then I'm a rebel very much do what I want 😎. The light gauge and low action allows me to play more lightly and faster if I need to. I also have a bass Xtender with a double stop lever so can drop D and Low B. The D is fine and sounds great, though low B is a tad floppy.

SWR T/O/P + Goliath III. Also posted in the SWR section. I like the punchy hi-fi quality to it, reminds me of my old Trace gear. Not had chance to play with it much so far, though I think it has the potential to knock walls down.
