Never really got Beck. Always seems too contrived and the lyrics just a continuous stream of non-sequiturs. Will reflect on this during a car journey next week and will play one of the albums and see what it’s like.

Have you gone IEM Daryl. Can't see an amp there. Dave

That's what we've got here, the One 1400 has two 700w power amps in, min 4 ohm each 😊 Of course you can also get amps that are 2 ohm stable 🤷

Paint Me Down - Spandau Ballet

Its not very exciting I was trying to spray the whole thing metal flake gold from rattle cans but i didnt think it was good enough So the body is still a fiesta red colour It originally had a fretless maple board, again from china

A pair of 4 ohm cabs is fine if you use... two amps!

Always kinda fancied a Pharaoh, how are they for bass?

Lovely quote from JMJ about the recording of the bassline “The guys were getting some amusement at the fact that I was sweating bullets trying to correctly play this monster I had created. That's my favorite thing to do: write things that are at the threshold of my ability.” Nice short article here https://www.guitarworld.com/features/justin-meldal-johnsen-on-becks-sexx-laws

Which unit are you using? Plethora?

Yeah, it's an odd one. I'd mentioned this on another thread somewhere that after borrowing yours I was so impressed that I picked one up for myself. I'd dialled yours in for that on the edge of breakup sound and it was exactly what I was looking for. However, the one I bought wouldn't go as low gain even with the gain/drive control backed right off, I couldn't get it clean enough so I ended up moving it on. I recently managed to grab an immaculate mk2 off the forum recently and for my tastes it does exactly what I'm looking for, it adds a real pleasing fattnes to the bass in the mix with the band, not an obviously overdriven sound, just bigger and juicer 💦. Think a B15 kinda vibe. Some people have complained about the lack of high end but to me that's part of its appeal and what helps it slot into the mix where I want the bass to be, sitting under the other instruments and supporting them, not clanking over the top of them like modern drives do.

Pump Me Up! - Trouble Funk

Just bought a GR Bass amp from Gareth, he was very honest and upfront about condition, and the transaction was smooth (courier incompetence notwithstanding 😅). It arrived unbelievably well packaged, and sounds super! Very nice chap too, wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again. 😊👍

Hi I have my brothers finger bone fretless. It’s a beautiful bass. my brother died in January in a car accident.
