Any other bedroom musicians here?

[Audio Quack]

I found this site while going down the bass amp rabbit hole when I decided to start playing my active 3EQ Music Man Ernie Ball Stingray again after a very long break. I bought the Music Man in the late 1980s because of the funk. But this meant having to sell my immaculate Japanese Tokai Jazz Bass that I bought because of Mick Karn/Japan and Percy Jones (on Brian Eno's Before and After Science), and that I have regretted since. I managed to avoid lugging around bass and amp by getting an acoustic bass in the noughties for my then country-folk band in London.

 

After a lot of reading and listening online, I finally ordered a Warwick Gnome bass head and 10in cab last week. I wanted something compact and portable, with the option of being able to play live, just in case, and these were ideal. But as I am primarily a bedroom musician, content with noodling and recording for my own amusement, the Gnome's fan noise is a non-starter. As much as I like the sound and small form factor, I will unfortunately be returning both amp and cab and resuming the great bass amp search.

 

Looking forward to sharing, learning and meeting like-minded folk, it seems like a lovely lot here!
