    Hello, I bought this cab on Basschat in 2020 but I’ve only used it on three gigs. Since getting a few smaller Markbass cabs this hasn’t left the house - hence me putting it up for sale. It’s in pretty much mint condition, and comes with a fitted Roqsolid cover. Its a vertical 2x12 plus an adjustable tweeter. Lovely sounding thing - articulate and open sounding, and its lightweight neo speakers, castor wheels and carrying handles mean it’s easy to lift. 600w at 4ohms 42hz - 18khz Sensitivity - 101db at 1w/m Weight - 47lb / 23kg Dimensions - 78.8cm x 54cm x 42cm Looking for £400. Prefer collection or meet up if possible somewhere near to Leicester. NOW SOLD THANKS. Cheers

    Bought a Protection Racket case off Simon this week. Easy transaction, top man and a brief natter about all things bass. Much appreciated Simon 👍

    This. I can see the enjoyment in tinkering and modding so I’m not going to criticise that. But in terms of my own gear over the years, the stuff thats been right for me has generally been bang on right from the start. The stuff where I’ve had to change this or that part to inch closer to what I want has just never sounded right, and eventually just gets moved on.

    Wilko are onto me. I bought a lampshade a while back. They’ve been sending me emails most days since. I clicked on one, and that generated another email saying “we noticed you were just looking at our website…” aargh!

    The only thing between my bass and my amp is a tuner. I’ve picked up various Boss pedals to experiment with but none of them come to gigs with me.

    There isn’t a day rainy enough for me to decide to sit indoors and sort out mine. I think we are up to three drawers and a flightcase full of junk in the garage so far.

    That’s a fair point Steve - I can’t argue with that. Im not advocating humiliating other band members and I wouldn’t want to make anyone feel uncomfortable if I knew they didn’t want to do something. I was just surprised so many people felt so strongly about the proposition of taking a bass solo if called upon. All my gigs currently are dep jobs where I do my best to fit in with the vibe of what’s going on around me. If that included being called upon spontaneously to solo I wouldn’t dream of refusing - I’d just do something hopefully adequate and move on.

    Dear me! I thought live performance was supposed to be fun? I don’t often need to play bass solos, and have nothing prepared, but I’m pretty sure I could improvise my way thru a few bars of something without being too precious if the situation called for it….
  13. bassbiscuits
    Aye. I’ve bust a few bass strings along the way playing fingerstyle - turned out string wear on the bridge saddles had made some sharp edged grooves.

    Good cabs these! GLWTS.

    I’ve got this on an old precision. You can barely see the side dots at all. I’d assumed it was an age thing (the bass and mine…).

    Very cool rig! I’ve got a similar set up using a P bass thru a LM3 and into a Traveller 102P paired with a STD102HF cab. It’s been my go-to rig for all the gigs I’ve done post lockdown (about 10 so far). So light and portable but really loud.
  17. bassbiscuits
    Bought a Markbass STD102HF cab from Chris. Drove over to pick it up, had a chat about bass, deal done, drove home. No hassles, nice guy and a good bit of kit too.
  18. bassbiscuits
    Maybe, but still solid wedding band fare (I can also think of tunes by Coldplay and Maroon 5 that would go down nicely.) I can’t defend Nickelback tho in fairness!
  19. bassbiscuits
    That’s weddings for you. Not the time to try out something alternative or challenging for listeners - keep it simple and upbeat and keep people happy.
  20. bassbiscuits
    Good call. I’ve played that a few times at weddings / parties / campfires over the summer and it’s always gone down well. It’s safe too, so perfect for a mixed age audience etc.

    I had a s/h JC Bass some time ago which came strung with TI flats - really suited the vibe and sound of it too. It came with a fairly battered old hard case but I managed to find a newer s/h Epiphone fitted case which was lovely quality and fitted it snugly. Lovely basses tho and much more versatile than I expected.

    Best: A pair of KZ ZS10 Pro IEMs and a Behringer headphone amp. My first step into the world of in-ear monitoring and a game-changer for me. Honourable mention too for my Vox Amplug headphone amp - not the best made piece of kit in the world but invaluable for me playing at home. Worst: Honestly nothing - a few bits I haven’t got round to using yet, but nothing that’s actually bad.

    Hi Saskia and welcome aboard. Hope you enjoy the occasional flashes of brilliance that are on Basschat, and the marketplace where I’ve spent far too much time and money….

    I was really surprised to play a real T Bird and find it sleek and beautiful, rather than the barn door that my Tokai was. Live and learn eh?
  25. bassbiscuits
    I had one - weighed a tonne, sounded average at best, uncomfortable and huge to play. Looked cool tho. Didn’t keep it long. It was only a few years later when I played a real Gibson T-Bird that I realised how far off the mark the Tokai one was.
