    True! The whole quiet / loud / quiet thing.

    Bush, who were dreadful Nirvana-lite from the mid 1990s, but nowhere near as original.

    Bet that sounds cool

    Yeah I remember trying them a long while ago when I was using a big heavy Aguilar 4x10, and preferring my Aguilar. But that’s long gone as it was too heavy to drag around. For what I do (mostly city centre gigs with rubbish parking, and a whole range of dep bass jobs) there’s not much wrong with Markbass stuff.

    I’ve used a couple of Markbass heads for ages but never paid the cabs much attention until recently. They’re great for what I’m after - lightweight, modular set up that’s easy to fit in a Fiesta.

    This Markbass rig I’ve pulled together over the last couple of months. Traveller 102P and STD 104HF cabs (both Italian) and a Little Mark 2 head I’ve had for a while. Ive made the bookshelves buzz here but will have to wait until end of the month to christen at an outdoor pub gig. Until then it’s just pretty furniture.

    Clearing out my parts drawer and offloading a load of strings, some of which have only been used very briefly: La Bella 760FL flatwounds - a couple of days home use at most. Some very minor fraying on red silks but in great clean condition. Cut for a four in line top loading bridge - SOLD D’Addario EXL170-5 - from my brief dalliance with five string playing earlier this year. Used them for about three weeks at home and the swapped for Chromes, so in very good clean condition. (I’ll also throw in for free the identical set I took off the bass when it arrived - bit more used condition but handy spares.) Both generously cut for a 3+2 Yamaha headstock. Price changed to £15 posted. 2 x sets of Rotosound Swing Bass - pretty certain these are 45-105 gauge tho small chance they could be 40-100. Again some signs of use but good condition. Cut for a four in a line headstock and top loading bridge. £7 a pack posted or £10 for the pair. Single D’Addario EXL170BT low E string gauge 107 - I’ve never even used this and can’t remember why I bought it. Still in its packet. £5 posted. GONE to a good home Light-gauge set of short scale round wounds. Pics below - shout if any questions.

    Dogs don’t like slap bass because they have no thumbs. It’s sour grapes more than musical differences.

    I’ve never figured out the timing at the start of Sex On Fire. I count myself in for five and a half beats and then start and weirdly it works perfectly. So it’s completely wrong, but appears to have been right all the times I’ve played it (which i suspect is quite often).

    “Needs new parts and a shave“ wtf?

    A Mike Lull PJ4. I really wanted a lighter bass than the hefty USA Jazz and Precision I had, and had been lusting after one for ages. I traded in those two good basses and about £900 on top to get the Lull. After a couple of gigs I realised I just didn’t like much about how it sounded or played, but for 10 times the price of the Yamaha I was also playing at a the time. Completely underwhelmed. Sold the Lull at a big loss. Still have the Yamaha. Lesson learned.

    AC/DC, Ginger Wildheart, Virginmarys, Del Amitri, Aerosmith.

    Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Fleetwood Mac have all largely passed me by. I’ve tried to catch up in later life but those formative teenage years (and all that free time) are long gone.

    Ah mate..... that is awesome

    I’ve got a mic that used to belong to Saxon. Makes me sing in a Yorkshire accent tho.

    Just taken delivery of a guitar multi stand from Latif. Everything as described and arrived really quickly. Top man. Can’t fault anything at all.
  17. bassbiscuits
    That’s a great rig for not much money!

    Derbyshire I’m told, but I can’t say I’m familiar with it either... makes me think it might be the closest I get to going on hols this year though.

    I’ve yet to gig mine (only got it two weeks ago) but I suspect it’ll be enough for most of my pub gigs and the prospect of such an easy load in fills me with joy!

    I’m digging my Markbass 102p (400w at 8ohms and weighing about 14kg). I know it’s not as cool or boutique as Barefaced but for me it’s more conventional sounding and affordable.
  22. bassbiscuits
    I’ve got one of these. Outstanding basses. 👍

    Another vote for the Markbass Traveller 102P which I’ve recently acquired. Effortlessly portable and really punchy and loud for its size. I picked up a Genz Benz Neo 2x12 last year so it hasn’t seen much action yet, and while not super lightweight it’s still around the 20kg mark which is peanuts compared to what I used to lug round.
  24. bassbiscuits
    Not seen one like that before. That’s lovely!

    Had a JC and loved it. But they are fully hollow rather than semi hollow. Great range of sounds, from almost acoustic bass to full-on growl, and much more versatile than might first appear. Big chunky neck, hollow body and big headstock meant mine had serious neck dive which a thick suede strap did reduce somewhat. Only sold it to fund another bass and frequently find myself wishing I hadn’t.
