Great day! Guy and Laurence both excellent, as were the Basschat team behind the day. And lovely to see old friends and new faces. @stevie’s LFSys cabs are superb, especially the 12” version.

Get well soon @silverfoxnik

The list this morning: Cup o’tea Bite to eat Load car Hit the road See y’all soon!

My sound is my fingers, bass and the preamp settings I choose. The amps and cabs I choose are there to enhance those other facets to my tone; I probably sound the same through the majority of amps etc but feel the Trace/BF rig allows me to focus on the playing more

Add yourself back on!

Anyone got a Retrovibe P30 that they could bring along? Got a real hankering for some form of 30” P type thingy… 🤦🏼‍♂️

Don’t be so sensible 🤪

I wonder if it’s a landscape One10T, a bit like the Super3rd is designed to sit on top of the Super Twin, this will be to sit atop a vertical Two10 perhaps…

Aww crap, a Three10? Noooo!

Yes. That was my rig for a while and it was great! As soon as I read your thread title my mind went to the RM too

I am

It is!

It will be there, as (possibly) will the builder himself

I’ve tried the cheaper route and at low volume there’s not a lot of difference. As you increase the volume… different story. I’ve ended up with Barefaced cabs.

Got home at 3am from a wonderful Katy Hurt gig in Sheffield at Greystones, with the wonderful Joe Martin in support. Last date for 2023, we started messing around with 3 new songs in the green room and they point to a bright 2024 if we can finish them off. Receptive crowd, singing along to all the songs, even found myself signing things at the end which is a bit novel for the “new bloke” but very cool. Zoot Funky 4 was the weapon of choice, through my TE1200 and a pair of Two10S cabs. Sounded blimmin marvellous. Knackered now after a day at work and a hard yoga session just now 🤣

I’ll have my 5 string short scale unlined fretless

Can’t see one on the list but if anyone has a Sandberg Lionel and can bring it along I’d be most grateful ☺️

No longer seeing Vega tonight. Something going on with one of the band members. Hope it’s not as serious as it sounds from their message 😕

Katy Hurt and The Jackson Line at Sutton’s Sound Lounge. A wicked little cafe/bar/venue with a great vibe, a great bunch of guys running it and unfortunately last night a dicky PA. One monitor was swapped and then the replacement failed during our set, at least one PA too went as well. Poor sound man Jono was having a night to forget! And I managed to unplug the lead from my bass to pedalboard between tuning and hitting the first note of the first song about 30s later, cue embarrassing scuffling around.. Apart from that, what a fun night. The Jackson Line, much like Gasoline and Matches last week, are a lovely bunch of people and play some great songs with amazing tight vocal harmonies. And despite our technical and idiot bassist gremlins we had a blast. Old and new songs played to die hard and new fans, a really cool vibe onstage and between band and audience. One to remember for a while! The Jackson Line: Katy Hurt and her idiotic bassist:

One of my colleagues saw them last night in Nottingham, he loved it! I’m seeing Vega on Saturday in London then Those Damn Crows on Tuesday. Both will be ace 😎

I’ve never really struggled with it tbh - as most of my other basses are 32” this keeps me on my toes and I have to be a bit more accurate especially as I go higher up the neck!

I’ve got one. Albeit quite niche as made for me by a good friend, but it’s epic.
