Pretty much the same for me Stew, never had a bad sounding rig with either different configuration, different brands, or both. I don`t doubt that the rigs would have been better if each cab would have been the same brand and configuration but if the ears like, they like, and mine did.

Bought a great Fender Deluxe Precision from Mike. Agreed the desk on Saturday, arrived today (Tuesday), bass exactly as described. Great comms throughout.

So the final piece of the collection arrived today, Fender Deluxe Precision, P/J configuration, active/passive. Had wanted a P/J in my fave black/black/maple but when I saw this one in pretty much my equal fave of white/black/rosewood it just had to be. Plays and sounds like a dream - am leaving it on passive as it just sounds so good like that.

Keep us posted on the KA, always nice to know how various Precision pickups sound.

They were great cabs, have used a few over the years and they have a great sound to them.

This thread made me plug the Tele Deluxe in earlier, played along to some good Oi/streetpunk for an hour or so, love that guitar it just plays so well.

Yeah, sadly I can’t see it going ahead, gutted for all that were meant to be playing, it’s the highlight of the punk year.

I only caught the end of it, wow Lady Ga Ga certainly can sing, very impressed with her performance.

Fender MIM 72 Telecaster Deluxe, has two humbuckers and I think a 12” radius which makes it very easy to play. Fenders take on a Les Paul really, does the same sort of job but in a Fendery way. I’ve tried Gibsons & Epiphones but although I love the sound I just don’t play them very well, I find it much easier with Fender necks.

Gloss, it’s also a nice chunker of a neck, very similar in feel to the US Standard Precisions of 2012-16.

I reckon 2020 as a whole will be pretty much a washout re gigs. I’m not in a gigging band at present but do feel for the guys in the band that I left, they had some great gigs booked, all over the country and in Europe, and had been booked for the Rebellion Punk Festival for the sixth year running. Gutted for them - and everyone that’s in bands.

Yeah I wouldn’t have a lot of that on, just add a touch so there’s an underlying presence.

I had a couple of their cabs, one light, one extremely heavy, both very good.

I’d check out Ashdown, not a recommendation based upon that I use their gear (though I am biased) but because of the sub-octave feature on their amps. Would have thought that would be ideal for reggae, adding a touch of that for some real deep bass. And given that they have that feature their cabs will be able to handle it - as would Barefaced cabs, they’ll take whatever is sent their way.

😁

Either the Tech21 VT or Para Driver will do it. I wouldn’t recommend the regular Sansamp as it’s a bit too scooped in the mids. You could take a punt on the Behringer BDI21, although a clone of the Sansamp its not as scoopy, and if you can track one down it will probably be for less than £30.

Failed again, this time a US Fender Deluxe Precision. In my defence I will be moving a bass on so I’m not adding, just changing.

I’m slightly different, I think of it along Monty Python lines, so my answer is “building bridges”.

My poplar bodied Vintage Tony Butler Precision sounds so similar to my US Fender Precision that I reckon that will be a good move/solution.

I used a BOSS WL20 and it was great. No faffing about with settings (it automatically finds the best frequency to use), no leads, no power packs, just two bugs, one in bass, one in amp, sorted.

I’m pie & mash, simple, dense & filling.

Definitely, virtually made for each other.

I`ve found these useful when in a band that plays on multi-band bills where there are gear shares - if you get all your eq from a preamp/DI pedal then no matter what rig you use you can get your sound pretty quickly, plus be confident that FOH gets it too. Ok the provided rig may take some tweaking but it`s what`s out front that matters.

I’m really tempted by these, but as I currently have an ABM600 and an RM500 and am in a band that doesn’t gig, even if it could I really have no need of one.
