If you like you stage sound, why use DI? Proper mic will do A LOT better job than a DI, always!

Old Tokai P-bass is hard to beat 🙂

Hello from a newbie  ...

Nice!

I used a 30 watt rated Ashdown Little Bastard with my Markbass 2x10 and 1x15 cabs for a single gig, I found it was nowhere near loud enough and switched back to the Markbass head at half time, I have to say I was disappointed as we were much liked by pub landlords as a decent covers band who didn't play too loud! So the fact it couldn't even manage a pretty restrained covers band gig in an estate pub meant it was not going to be any good at all for bigger gigs

The amp went back the following day!

If you don't mind it being gritty it may do the job. You probably want more like a 50w amp to not sweat about it though. T

Like Roger2611, I tried using my LB30 on a few gigs but it was nowhere near loud enough. I have a CTM100 (for sale on this very forum) that does the job admirably though.

Pics, immediately

Only one pic of her at the mo, seen here with my 66 fliptop. Usual flats are Elites, lovely strings

WOT - no covers!!!

the burst/maple right handed one.  replaced pickguard, wiring and knobs but other than that its supposedly original.  I also like the jazz bass on there, again burst/maple/white block

Ooh yeah........ nice.  Really lightweight.  I like the black jazz with the black blocks.......

Andy Baxter is one of my daily/weekly visits on the web, always something to make you drool if it's vintage Fenders you're after! In fact, I'm having a look right now....

Got my Optima flats on my old Jazz, Smooth 

"Who says flats cant go on a jazz!?!"  no-one. it's an urban legend - just like saying a swan will break your arm. No documented evidence anywhere (swans or flats)

From the inception of the Jazz Bass in 1960 until the mid 1970s, Fender fitted flatwound strings as standard.

Jazz Bass with flatwounds and a plectrum, was a very common sound throughout the 1960s and 70s.

If someone doesn't like it then that's their business, but to say it can't be done is stupid.

"unexpected"? Did you fall into the shop, and your credit card accidentally slip into the card reader?
Happy NAD - don't forget to let us know your thoughts on how it performs

not a BF fan im afraid, tho have never tried their 2x10

Totally, TOTALLY different from the 12" cabs. Sounds like a miniature Ampeg fridge. Haven't played a Terror with mine, but knowing the Terror as I do (I've had 3 of them!), and knowing how the Two10 sounds with the other amps I've had (Ashdown ABM, CTM15 & 30, Mesa Walkabout, Ampeg PF-50t) I'd say it'd be a match made in heaven! Certainly worth trying if you get the chance.

I have an orange 115 doing nothing, its in black and has never been gigged mint condition, am only in blackburn if you want to try it out

Relax, dude. I didn't send you one.

I've not used Maruszcsyk.  I can however second the recommendation for Picato flats.  I have a DBE set of them on my Steinberger Spirit.

Whump diddy bump diddy bump olé!

I do like picatos but I always find its a compromise - for thumpy old school I always struggle with a dead E, a lively E usually means using the brighter flats like Fender or Chromes

Mixed set then?

I had to check just in case you had woken up with three this morning after a visit from the goolie fairy.

Now I realise my mistake.

I like Ashdown.  I hope you get a blast out of yours too.

I like combos. I'm a big fan of making things as simple as possible at gigs. Bass, strap, lead, lightweight combo. Set up in less than a minute. Everything flat, turn it up, bingo. Play set. Pack away in less than a minute and gone.

There you go, that's all you need. But according to Basschat wisdom, a Harley Benton P Bass and a Peavey TNT combo would have done just as well. 

Sweet! Flats, perchance?

Flatwounds. Absolutely, its the law isnt it?

My amp is a Mess as well.

@discreet seriously funky playing Sir! What was the HB PB-50 mod...?

@Kevsy71 Thanks... that one (v2.0) was just a headstock reshape and a Herrick Alnico Tele 51 pickup upgrade. My most recent one (v3.0) has a Herrick Neo pup, a two-saddle through-body bridge, Wilkinson tuners and a refin in shoreline gold  https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/319730-hb-pb-50-modded-version-30/  and is also strung with 9050M.

GHS Precision Flats, DR Legend Flats

Nooo! I've just withdrawn mine because of reverse GAS: GRS (Gear Retention Syndrome), love it!

Very, very nice. The best live sound I've ever had in 40-odd years is still a 76 P-Bass through an Ampeg SVT-CL and an 8X10. You can't go wrong with that rig... until you try to move it. 

They're not called 'Mess' for nothing, you know...
