  1. I can see I’ve left lots of information out which would help people to help me. So sorry! I play a Paul Bryant Soloist, currently through a MarkBass 801 combo but previously through an Acoustic Image Ten 2 or the Contra extension speaker. I’m a jazzer, sometimes with a trio and sometimes with a lot of horns. I struggle to cut through the horns. I’m an amateur player, classes, courses, jazz jams and playing with friends at each others houses. Occasional gigs, usually for charity, often in a church, sometimes outside. I thought if I had a double shot or upshot from Acoustic Image then I could use the same head/amp from the Ten 2 with the new speaker/cabinet. You can see I’m not at ease with the terminology! If I got the combo double shot, then I could sell the Ten 2 and Contra with the head. I think that would be more attractive to buyers. So yes, I guess ideally I’d like a combo but that’s partly because of my lack of experience and confidence when it comes to pairing cabs and heads. I honestly thought the Ten 2 would last me forever but it’s too much to carry these days. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me.
  2. Well, I’d decided to bite the bullet and buy an AI doubleshot and that’s when I found out the sad news about Rick Jones. I have my fingers crossed for a secondhand double shot or upshot but as my creaking back can’t handle the ten2 anymore and my MarkBass 801 struggles against the horn section, I’m hoping that there might be something else out there that weighs around 15-20 lbs and delivers a clean sound. Maybe AER or Gallien Krueger? Any help gratefully received.
  3. It was a real treat to meet Jez and his wonderful partner, Sharon. What great people! And I now have a beautiful Paul Bryant bass. And I think I have fallen in love with Hebden Bridge.
  4. [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1475579998' post='3147027'] There will be more pics in the blog (scheduled after the SE bash blog). We want to see you at the next one, Sarah! [/quote] Thankyou! Blog? What blog?
  5. A big thankyou for the pictures. Not as good as being there of course, but it helps! Looking forward to the next one.
  6. Bob! Is it so bad that £200 or so can't fix it? Have you taken it to a luthier? And to be honest, if you want to sell it on this forum, people will want to know what the issues are. Please don't give up!
  7. [quote name='owen' timestamp='1472731672' post='3123726'] Ho hum But priorities in the right place. Cannot fault them. [/quote] Cheers, Owen. I'm more than happy to send my tenner to support the event and gutted that I won't get to try the KK baby bass or the mega pound bow. And most gutted that I won't get to spend the day with all you lovely people. Can't have everything, hey?
  8. [quote name='owen' timestamp='1472569816' post='3122212'] This is a very poor show. [/quote] I know! A few years back, I decided that having some simple, clear priorities would help in these situations. They are these: 1 Family. 2 Friends. 3 Music. 4 Work. So that's that. Family first.

  10. Argh! I am no longer able to attend the DBB because I will be celebrating my brother in law's 50th. Ah well, swings and roundabouts and all that. Please post some pictures and tell me all about it.. I will be mostly drinking gin.
  11. You could try asking at The Sage, Gateshead, for tutors. Newcastle uni could be a source as well. I know there's a jazz orchestra, not to mention a folk music degree, so there's bound to be one or two broke students happy to set you on the right path.
  12. Sounds great! Let us know how you get on.
