    Every pub gig I ever played with a 410 was with very little band allocated real estate. Extremely hard to hear what note you're playing so always playing too loud. I would never pay good money for one.

    I've always used 4x10s and never had any issue hearing myself or controlling volume... Including cramped pubs and festival stages. My own experience is that a decent 4x10 works anywhere. 

     

    Personally I would take the plunge... GK make brilliant gear.

    I remember back in the day when i had no amp available i would butt the bass up against the wall and amplify it like that!

     

    What was your live rig when you were playing a lot?

     

    Ha... I used to do the same thing against my wardrobe... ☺️

     

    I've used a few different rigs mate... I owned a couple of Ashdown ABM heads and 4x10 and 1x15 cabs... Nowt to rave about but they just work. Always. 

     

    I also had an EBS Gorm combo for a little while... That was a really nice amp that I shouldn't have sold. 

     

    However my most recent and favorite rig was an Orange AD200 with an Orange 4x10... A powerful, simple rig with loads of tube grit to dial in if/when you need it. The cab was a difficult haul when gigging regularly... Around 47kg and almost cuboid in shape. I gave myself a hernia when I hit my head off the top of a doorway whilst carrying it lol. I sold the cab but I've kept the AD200 just incase I wish to scratch the gig itch again. 

     

    After checking the marketplace I'm now beginning to think it would make sense to pick up a nice cab for home use and hear what the Warwick Alien sounds like plugged in.

    Nice... I got my Son a fretless the other week, he loved it... right up his strada...

    Thanks for checking out the video Paul. I hope your son enjoys his fretless.

    Very nice, feels like the car chase soundtrack in an Indie movie 👍

    Thanks Beedster... I'll take that. 👍

  4. Just thought I'd drop by and say hi! 

     

    I'm in my 21st year of playing and I've done a few hundred gigs in a few different bands.

     

    I currently only play at home, unplugged with my Warwick Alien Fretless. I own a Fender Jazz too.
