I’d look at the Markbass CMD121P, great little amp, much more powerful than it looks but in a very small portable package.

I’ll bet that’s one great sounding rig there @Merton

If you’re not confident with soldering contact our very own @KiOgon, he makes replacement looms which only need a small screwdriver to connect up. Very good quality and very easy to install.

I remember going to see The Last Resort at The 100 Club (might have even been on the bill that night) and JJ the bassist in between songs alerted security that a bloke was unconscious at the front, think he’d hit his head on the monitor/edge of the stage in the heat of the moment as he went over (or someone had clocked him a bit too hard). Security dragged him out, luckily he was ok but yes, def bands do have a responsibility to try to calm things down, which isn’t an easy feat on the punk/Oi scene. I thought a crowd we played to in Hamburg were going to seriously injure each other at least as there was a bit of niggle going on. We did our bit, asked them to try to not kill each other.

I just find that I prefer the sound of multiple speaker cones all going at once, as opposed to one. Not for the volume but for the sound/feel.

Yes the RM amps are good to have as backups to the ABM 600, tho agree they do lack the overall flexibility- not a criticism, 5 band re 9 band just won’t offer as much. But they’re good amps, I have the 500 EVO2 and wouldn’t be without it.

Good idea that

I like Jerusalem, but think we should do Swing Low same as what we do for rugby, can’t see why we have different songs for different sports.

Worth checking out this (or the 4 string version if not into 5-ers)

Definitely, great quality instruments, cover pretty much anything and incredibly reliable as well.

Great little amps, easily giggable on their own, congrats

Preferable to a plague of boils................

I’ve gone for 50-105 Ernie Ball coated rounds, figure the higher gauge D & G should help on the naturally high sound of the ‘Ray. Usually use Elixirs but couldn’t find any if their 50-105s anywhere, plus EB strings on an EB bass, should work nicely, certainly sound nice online.

On Mon when I picked up my new 3-band EQ we put it through the ABM600 with the Shape engaged, Drive at midday and it sounded amazing, really rich and solid, removed the overly middy aspect nicely, probably the best sound I`ve ever had from a `Ray.

Yes, I’ve had the singles for years and although I wouldn’t put them in the hold on a plane I’d be fine with them in the back of a van - albeit packed carefully of course. In general I stand my cases up in venues due to limited storage space, a couple of times they’ve fallen over and no problem on the bass at all, didn’t even knock them out of tune. This was with the singles but the dual is constructed exactly the same.

I’ll echo the above, just bought a Mono Tick from Neil, good comms, swift delivery and packaged very well indeed.

I have one. If using as a hand-carry case from car to venue rather than wearing as a gig-bag over a long distance imo it’s difficult to beat. It’s barely deeper than a Hiscox case but you get two basses in it, leaving room for a rucksack over shoulders and something like an amp head in your other hand. Additionally at the gig itself it takes up much less room than two cases, as in many venues storage space for gear/cases is often non-existent this too is a real help. It’s also pretty darn tough too.

Sold Clarky a Sansamp Para Driver, good comms, swift payment and advised of safe receipt, something I always appreciate.

Just bought an extremely nice 3EQ EBMM Stingray from Alex, am well chuffed with it, and as I collected it we had a good chat about all things bass as well. Nice guy, great transaction.

Bought a 3EQ ‘Ray earlier, from our very own @alexa3020, tried it out through his ABM600 & matching 210 and it sounded awesome, even at living room volume. Gonna use it in my classic rock band I think.

Yeah, when I was gigging a lot all my sound for audience came from my Sansamp Para Driver via FOH, on stage amp purely for my own ears. I’ve found over the years that when having a rig which covers the venue that having a middy/twangy on stage sound translates to a really good in the mix sound out front.

An ABM preamp pedal would be my dream, I liked the OriginAL but I couldn’t get the same sound from it as from my ABM600.

Praise indeed!

Write it a stern letter methinks Cracking looking rig, am extremely envious
