I guess we're in the midst of great technological change and these debates will be commonplace until things settle down. Personally I doubt I'll ever find a band who like the bass to sound how I like it regardless of how I get my sound. If I'm lucky enough to get back to playing big stages with decent sound engineering front and side stage then my sound and set up will be entirely for my own benefit. As such I'll use whatever amp and cabs give me the most joy.

Ooh, thank you.

Just watching Bass The World's review. Being a filter junkie this is on my shopping list.

Very happy with the Labellas on my fretless. Seem to have the appropriate amount of schmwam woorp I like.

God yes, good idea

I'm in. Anyway I can help please say so

It is very similar indeed. However the neck from it is going onto a different bass with the frets still in it! Then I am transforming it with an upside down lefty neck I acquired and doing something unspeakable to the body. At some point.

Ha! I am getting an Enhanced next week, been after one of the expensive basses for a while. I have resisted the Marquess range and would love a BZ4000. Otherwise I have most of them.

Some beasts in there @bobbass4k

Bought a bass from Lawrie, and what a smashing chap he is. Communication was spot on throughout, the instrument was as described, and very fairly priced. A pleasure to meet him and to do business with him. I happily recommend this most excellent Basschatter to the community

This debate comes up every now and then. I don't think it's ever been resolved. I guess it is as you say down to our individual attitudes. I depped for a wedding band, well paid work, wanted to do a good job. A good (expensive at least) amp blew on me in the sound check. If I had no spare they'd not be in a hurry to ask me back. Even a poorly paid pub gig is much more fun if I can still play should something break. No fun at all if I have to stand and watch.

I have my Lidl sack trucks from many years ago. They show no signs of failing but a second set can't hurt

I provide the pa for one of my bands, a digital desk. Make sure I have a spare tablet and the singer always has a small analogue desk as a just in case We'd look very silly if the desk failed and we didn't.

I tried so hard to do this in a new band a couple of years ago. It leaks out, you can't help it, it's who you are

I have the pa bag. It's mine. It's full of every conceivable cable and adaptor. It gets tidied regularly, but never split into two bags.

Just bought a wireless set up from Martin. Very fairly priced, well packaged, exactly as described and the communication was excellent. A pleasure to deal with him and I'm more than happy to recommend him as a seller.

It surely is. Not much it can't do!

Ooh yes. I'm in bed right now though so you gotta wait.

Pics tomorrow I promise
