Somewhere between none and not enough sadly, life is just getting in my way But I doodle on my acoustic bass a fair bit, not serious practice though. EDIT (read the full first post Mert!!) I play live a lot more than practicing...

First GAS of 2009, well on Sunday I'm meeting up with Tinman to swap Trace Elliot gear And I'm having a chat to someone about a V-Type preamp, the one thing I have said I'd do anything to get my mitts on... Not sure if it'll happen or not, but we'll see. Other than that, no new arrivals on the bass/amp front this year[sup]*[/sup], just MiniMert in April [size=1]*unless the MikeyR 5 string singlecut multiscale is finished this year, of course![/size]

[quote name='spiritchaser' post='386112' date='Jan 20 2009, 02:15 PM']Cheers! I wish it wasn't THAT heavy! BTW I'm waiting for a used Ritter Classic fiver to arrive this week and it's only going to weigh about 4 kgs:[/quote] Nice! Does that mean you can sell me the Wal 5er for 50p? £1?

My theory is OK. Not great, but not non-existant. I really want to practice and work on it, but finding the time is next to impossible, and this is before MiniMert arrives!! God knows what will happen then I often feel like my playing suffers because my theory isn't too hot - it's a weakness and I am embarrassed that it's not as strong as it should be.

Oooh, that's nice. I miss my Groove 5

I'm driving past Epsom later on, can I pop in and nick this? Cheers!

On the very rare occasions I go into a shop and pick up a bass, I play basslines wot I play in my bands. But I haven't tried a bass in a shop for years, the only one I ever actually got from a shop was my first one back in '93...

I want the jigsaw bass. Awesome.

Hell yes! I was looking at a similar set up - my new rig will be revealed on Sunday tho

[quote name='Raggy' post='388788' date='Jan 22 2009, 05:32 PM']Anyone had any experience with these cabs. I have the urge to run 2 together. [/quote] Do it, it'll be great Never used one, mind. But I reckon it'll be great

Cool! What about the cat?

Nice cat, and nice MB rig I like the look of those 1x15 cabs - how do they sound?

Status? Playability? You won't find a better playing instrument, IMO.

I've changed my mind. I want either a Midget Twin (get in!!) or a Big Twin Sub - I'm mad AND deaf

[quote name='johnnylager' post='388571' date='Jan 22 2009, 02:38 PM']I did this in Amsterdam - I wouldn't do it again.[/quote] [quote name='alexclaber' post='388574' date='Jan 22 2009, 02:39 PM']Don't you already have one and a second impending? Alex[/quote] Excellent, I set 'em up, you boys knock 'em in. Keep them coming!

I want two Midgets already

[quote name='yorick' post='388308' date='Jan 22 2009, 10:46 AM']Depends on where the two guitards set up!!! [/quote] But it's kinda nail -> head for my function band. Having a guitarist either side of the drummer, one who sings lead, plus a female lead singer, means we have to balance somehow. So it's guitarist and female singer on the left of the drummer, me and male singer/guitarist on the right. Not sure why we've never done it the other way around, but it's been a habit since day one and that's that. Doesn't worry me, though I do prefer being on the left for the reasons mentioned above, since our monitoring and general onstage banter is always good

For some odd reason I am always on the ride cymbal side in my function band, but hi-hat side in my originals band. I think it's just the way the function band balances better visually but it doesn't make any difference to me.

Sounds worrying - any updates? Hopefully positivie ones!

I vote A too. B is too long vs the body (as BigRedX has said) and C seems a bit angular in comparison to the body. I like A a lot
