I like these kinds of post's, can't add much more except to say basses are a wonderful thing, just liike a beautiful woman they will always catch your eye. You don't always have to try take them home

Those Genz cabs can take a lot! The 4 ohm Genz Neo 212 I have just soaks it all up.. goes louder than I dare crank it!
-
I had problems with the only set I tried as well. buzzing sound on a Stingray and also on a passive P. Liked the feel but not the buzz. I think it was the coating that caused the problem.
-
I have only noticed a gradual drop-off before. (only been playing 40 odd years ) Had new strings dead out of the box and new strings that won't intonate before.

I used to love St Patricks day in my yuff when I was living in London. Most of my mates (like me) were plastic Paddies Still had some of the best parties and music and a huge 2 day hangover. Couldn't do it now Got to be some of this
-
There is an Ibanez ATK 400 for sale on the forum here (not mine) But great basses for the money. I rate them.
-
I just gave my Rumble 500 and the extension cab a fairly loud try out with my (new) Wal and happy to say it's a good combo. Can't beat it with a P but the Wal works as well
-
Looks like it's a 4/ 8 Ohm switch?

Slap it then! Only joking, nice tune.
-
I must be dumb, I don't understand what software licence you would need? They can't have restrictions on the emulators surely?
-
The tube amp is missing (I do have one at home, but never take it out lol) I have a SansAmp or Microtubes to try emulate a bit when I feel like it.
-
These things are always so personal and open to interpretation but in my own experience and having owned a few P-basses, I have found that the old 50's style P basses with the thick necks and maple boards have the fat vintage sound in buckets. I have my roadworn P strung with flats just for that vibe. (bit like the video posted above)
-
Try a modern class D combo, if you're not hung up on all tube, lots of good ones to choose from. (imo) -
I don't live in Helsinki So don't know that many guitar shops, but I have bought from these guys before, pretty good 2nd hand collection for round these parts. https://www.kitarapaja.com/start

No, none that you won't be shocked at the prices,

I found that Jazz's always have a more focused sound when I play them and P bass's just have more thump in the frequencies I like to hear. I think it's just one of those things. I stopped messing around changing pick-ups a long time ago as I found it was never really worth it for me.
-
Nice. I love it too, one of the bands I'm in we do some ska , reggae stuff, been fun for me because none of the other guys in the band have done anything like that before but have taken to it really well Some Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, even turn a few pop tunes a bit ska's-ville! Enjoy, it's great for the rhythm section.

It arrived earlier in the week, a 2018 Wal MK 1. (I'll get some better photo's once there is enough light)
-
I asked Paul to try save weight on mine, I haven't weighed it yet but it's definitely no boat anchor He did say there was a limit on the MK1's before the balance and sound are effected, but said he would use the lightest core mahogany to help a bit. I'd take a guess it's now around the 4kg mark.
-
Will do, once I can put it down. There is also nothing I have played like the way the Wal pickups seem to compress and even out the sound from string to string, then there is always that unmistakable growl!
-
I just got my Wal and I will say the necks feel a bit more V-shapped than the rounded P's and Jazz's and Warwicks etc that I have been used to playing. I think I will learn to love it

How do you know if you're any good?!

Not as good as I wish I was It's a never-ending experience on trying to improve.
