OK, Friday night in a pub in Swindon. Don't know what possessed me but I decided to go for two 15" Trace Cabs and my 500 watt Trace head, Ric copy I just bought straight in no effects. The bass needed a set up, the room had a boom to it I wrestled with all night and the crowd was whizzed and indifferent. But I had fun. Last night, Sunday, early start in one of my local boozers. Originals band with couple of Pogues covers thrown in. Oh and a stomping version of Country Roads which went down a storm. Ampeg, 2 Barefaced 15", Bruce Thomas Profile. Stunning sound. Bass Nirvana.

God I dream of that! No matter how good my fellow musicians are I seem to end up with the biggest amateurs come sound check time

Hey Blue. So glad to see you coming out of the doldrums.

I am the world's worst buyer. I can't haggle and seldom know what stuff is worth. So never bought anything crazy cheap. Bought a lot of cheap stuff but nothing you could call a bargain. Best buy of recent times was my Bugera Veyron new from Amazon for about £170. Worth its weight in diamonds

Two singers I work with use Altos as monitors. Very good quality lightweight kit

Credit where its due. One of the reasons this project is so affordable compared with similar quality professionally produced cabs is because manufacturers recoup the cost of their time invested in research and development. Time you and others are putting in for free on our behalf. Basschat can (as can all other Internet forums) attract some silly egotistical people. Folk like you balance that tendency and keep this place special.

You were unbelievably restrained. I commend you for remaining so polite. That you now apologise as well without any need to speaks volumes for your character. It is you and people like you make this place worthwhile.

Thanks for the update Stevie. What an absolute star you are

Just goes to show. It was the classy look that attracted me in the first place! I have a MB amp needs a repair but I would only get it fixed to sell it. Given that it may sit in the for sale section for days on end and I'd have to invest to get it repaired it doesn't seem worth it.

Not the ones I linked they go on lighting stands or tripods you'd need one designed to clamp to the stand not screw in the top. I have indeed used a bass stand to clamp a tablet holder.

Kind of. I'm a photographer so I have stands already. Amazon sell the holder to fit on the light stand which ends up basically the same as the second option. I tend to use a clamp attached to the mic stand as it's one less stand in small spaces.

Yeah I noticed the same thing. I have allowed the MB gear I'm selling to slide quietly into the oblivion of the nether pages. I'd rather keep it than sell at a silly price. Its excellent gear and doesn't take up too much room after all.

Do you mean a stand alone stand? Or clamp for a mic stand?

As shocked as I was by Lemmy, Prince, Bowie and George Michael nothing really affects us like our first. Or at least that applies to me. Cycling to school one September morning not long after the start of term and Steve Collins told me Marc Bolan had died. I was utterly stunned as to why anyone would make up such a lie. Imagine then my absolute bewilderment when, that dinnertime I sat with my sandwiches in Mrs Baker's house and the Radio One news announcer confirmed that awful truth. I knew nothing of the lives of pop stars but I was certain of one thing - they couldn't just up and die.

I was faced with a similar dilemma (couple big old TE cabs . What swayed me in the end was the extra length the castors added to the cabs (while in transit) and needing four for each cab. So I made a dolly instead. Easier to transport and can be used to move other heavy stuff too.
