I’ve got the official covers for mine.

I want one of them too! But unfortunately I have 1 child doing a 5 year combined undergraduate and masters degrees, and another child who will be going to university next year. So I am limited to modest irresponsibility rather than doing it properly!

I rehearsed with it today, just the T cab as I didn’t need the other and it sounded great. I like to adjust my tone a lot by how I pluck the strings, using a lot of flesh on the string for a deeper and more gentle note, or then plucking more perpendicular for an aggressive bite to it and that sort of thing, and this cab seems to show those differences more. Next time I’ll try it with my Ashdown RM800evo2 to see if I hear any difference with that amp.

Since my Lionel arrived I haven’t even plugged in any other basses. I think I might have to accept I have converted to shorties. I’m starting to think about the unthinkable… selling my Sandberg TT4 Superlight so I can get a short version. I’m wondering if Sandberg would do a 5 string shortie.

The band leader. However I’ve just discovered that is happening in September. I hope the new person appointed is an improvement or I’m done with it. Me and the drummer are properly fed up and bored at the moment.

With Amazon make sure that Amazon is actually the seller.

Or they could be being really slack!

Perhaps your email is going in their spam folder for some reason?

He's left it a bit late! These guys are excellent - if they are still available. https://www.fullyfunktional.rocks/

I tried it on 2 boards. One with the good old PP+ and on the other a very silly money Gigrig Power Generator set up, with dedicated isolators. Both the same.

My cab has arrived. I've only been able to have 30 mins at lunchtime but I like it - paired with my existing One10. With the tweeter control at zero it sounds just like the One10. With it maxed there's a pleasing high end that is very nice for slap and for chord stuff at the dusty end. Envelope filter stuff seems to come through a bit more in the highs too. Some of my drive sounds are now a bit fizzy so I'll have to tweak them. There's nothing brittle or sharp about the highs - I'm assuming that will be party to do with the tweeter and partly to do with the amp itself. The treble control on the amp is 6Khz but I have no idea what the Q is, or whether there is a LPF somewhere to get rid of the horrible stuff at the top. As I stated up there ^ about hissy things, I have had Mark Bass amps in the past that were hissy with MB own cabs. My current Mark Bass is the AG1000 and even with the treble maxed and the tweeter maxed there is no hiss - not even with my compressor on. Very impressive. It's about a Kilo heavier than the One10 but still very light at 8.5kg.

For me, functionality and comfort is far more important than looks.

If you swap to USA Ultralights and go for the Y keys instead of the Clover ones you'll save about another 12 grams. As you've noticed from the other end, even a little makes a bit difference. (I'm obsessed with bass balance and weight! )

Ooo! I've just had the courier's "We are expecting your parcel" email. So it looks like I'll get it in a couple of days! Excellent!

Unless you are spending the incoming money on more basses or amps I'm pretty sure you are in breach of the forum GAS rules!

I suspect you won't feel like doing anything at all for at least a couple of weeks, let alone working out your usual lines for a keyboard. I didn't play a note for at least 6 months last time I had surgery and that had nothing to do with my arms / hands. Concentrate on recovery - and with anything nerve related it is vital to do the physio as ordered even when it is really hard work / uncomfortable. It will make a massive difference in the long run.

It does seem to be an 'everybody or nobody' thing to make it work properly.

Hipshot Ultralites at the other end would do it, and lower the total bass weight too.

There's quite a few without amp sims, but most multi effects include overdrive / dist. There's no point in the makers removing that bit of code! Line 6 HXFX is an example. No amp sims.

I've had 2. I really like what they did, but both of them had a tiny high pitched whine in the signal that annoyed me. I don't know if I was unlucky in having 2 with the same issue, but it has put me off trying a third.

Yes, I know. That’s why I said we are able to do that.

presumbly you have never played a gig with just a clarinet player alone where fan noise is audible to the audience, but then at the same gig then have to play with a 20 piece ensemble without having the luxury of having 2 rigs on stage? There’s a lot more to it than “you can’t hear it over the drums”.

Stop picking on me! FFS!

Frank Zappa made it a point of pride that his live solos were never just copies of the record and he wrote the things! Go nuts and enjoy yourself.
