I managed to blow the driver in an ABM115 without driving it very hard. Its the one and only speaker I've blown in 22 yeas of playing. After that i sold it all as I was a bit wary of something else going wrong - plus I absolutely hated the wooly, indistinct sound and the excessive controls on the shiny chrome head.

As a previous owner of an ABM EVO blah blah head and 2 ABM115 cabs I have to say that i thought that they were the wooliest, indistinct sounding cabs I had ever heard in my life. I've no experience of the Aguilars but I replaced both cabs with 1 Schroeder 1212L. It may not go as deep but at least i can hear the notes clearly

I'm selling my 800w 4ohm Schroeder 1212L

There's about 8 knobs too many for me, Oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh Matron

Just spotted this on the Fender website - If they sound half as good as they look then they should be the mutts The pic of the combo with the single coil P next to it was especially nice

I bought a dozen paper-in-oil caps from a guy in Sweden for about £6 - Later sold 10 of them for £4 each I put PIO caps in any passive bass that I get - may be mojo, may be whatever but I do prefer them. I was using the big orange fellows before that take up half the control cavity

Originally entered a talent show and mimed with an acoustic that I borrowed from a friend when I was 11. Bought it off him form a fiver. I was really into Queen at the time and decided that I wanted a bass for Christmas so that I could play like John Deacon.

I got quoted £250 to route a musicman pickup in my gold bass from Jimmy Moon in Glasgow

Years of playing Stingrays and anchoring my thumb on the pickup mean that now that I play a bass with no pickup there I find myself going between lightly holding my thumb against the body and letting everything hover. I find that my pinky curls up and the finger next to it kind of mimics my middle finger without actually touching a string I have a picture somewhere in mid gig where it looks like I'm playing an octave and it looks like I'm giving someone the 'bird'. I'm not, its just where that fingure goes

Sting's '57 single coil P bass - no, not one like his - his one! Gallien Krueger 2001 RB Mesa 2x15" & 2x10" So basically Sting's bass anf Flea's backline
