[b]Wow![/b] Played my first gig last night with a pair of DB112's I acquired in a trade - absolutely amazing, I'm really pleased with them. I was initially a tad concerned by their stage presence (or lack thereof) and whether I'd be able to hear myself on stage, but as soon as we soundchecked I knew I was going to be very happy with them. Huge amount of low end thump and mids/highs were nice and clear/tight - all the boys in the band were hugely complimentary of my new acquistion and a couple of mates who play in another band were suitably impressed. The nice thing about the amp & cabs IMO is that everything can be heard clearly without the need for excessive volume - although the band do like my sound to be quite loud/high in the general mix. I did have a concern about the weight before hand but having now got them, they're not too heavy and certainly noticeably lighter than the head. One particular bass aside that's currently in the for sale section - I think I may be GAS free for the considerable future! Now do I keep the Barefaced Super 12T & the Mark Bass F1 for smaller gigs/those gigs with awkward & lengthy load-ins, or do I move them on? Hmmm. Cheers for all the feedback guys - appreciated!

I may be able to make it - I cannot commit anymore than that at the moment If I do, I could bring along the Aggie DB750 & DB112 cabs if anyone's interested? [s]& also the BF Super 12T?[/s] Now sold to deaver

[quote name='Notoriousm' timestamp='1390509996' post='2346306'] What I've always heard when talking to other bass players is ' ah he plays a mex'. You know that almost looking down on you thing ... [/quote] Lord knows what they think of me then as I've also got two Squiers that I occasionally gig

As said above, quality of Fender Basses can vary hugely, I've played my '73 Jazz (which is lovely) and also played a friends '73 (which has a couple of dead spots on neck and is a pig to play), so IME the thing to do is to definitely try before parting with cash. Interestingly, my '73 weighs in a tad under 8lbs and my mates tips the scales in excess of 8.5lbs? The Mexican Roadworn Jazz is sublime to play - I know there's lots of folk who don't like the whole Roadworn thing, but there's also a lot of love for them around these here parts. New they're a bit pricey but buy one used and you've got a whole lot of bass for very little money. I own a Roadworn Jazz and also own two CIJ Jazzes (Geddy & '62RI), a Custom Shop Jazz, a '92 Jazz Plus V, a '95 Standard USA Jazz, a '74 Vintage Reissue Jazz, a '73 Jazz & a '68 Precision.

Fuzzrocious Dark Driving would achieve this nicely I reckon. Shameless plug: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/227792-mahoosive-clearout/
