I've just found this post. Thank you for your review. I shall arrange a visit to Stratford soon to try one out. The lightweight and beauty of this model along with the short-scale makes it look very much like a new bass for me soon. And I'll probably try out the D'Addario chromes, not yet tried them but they're spoken highly of by many, so it's about time I did.

I've owned both. My impressions with flats fitted: Jet II - is a well made bass and no need to upgrade tuners, pu's, etc. Heavier with a slab body and nice feel to the neck. Meaty tone, (sometimes referred to as heft). Jag - a beginners bass, some folks upgrade tuners and pu's. Lightweight and comfortable, narrow neck it's tone is OK-ish. Eventually I settled on a Squire Mustang. Better build, (no upgrades necessary), preferred tone, similar narrow neck to the Jag. The feel of the necks is quite different due to the slightly wider nut on the Jet which is nearly 40mm. The narrower Squire neck, about 38mm, takes a bit of getting use to. I actually preferred the wider Jet neck. Those 2mm are noticeable. My other SS is the Hofner HCT Violin which has a 42mm nut. If you haven't tried one please do. You'll end up either loving or hating them as they appear to attract strong reactions. Hope this helps.

Have you given some thought to another project?

I always carry a pack of baby wipes to remove gunk and clean cables. Also useful for other little accidents!

The Super Midget with cloth grill is 500W/21lbs 23.8 : 1 This shows the weight advantage of Neodymium! EDIT: If the SM is 600W then: 600W : 21lbs 28.6 : 1

Power to weight ratio? Barefaced One10 with silver cloth will be Watts : lbs 250 : 15 16.7 : 1 Barefaced Two10 with silver cloth will be 500 : 28 17.9 : 1 Even better!

I use the 208 combo and also the 250 head into a One10. Value for money they certainly are. I would recommend to download Spectracomp and with a built in tuner they are such a convenient rig. The 208 is more polite than the head into a larger cab, but it projects well. I'm very satisfied with mine. Worth a try if you're looking for a small footprint and light weight. As a home combo - great. Replacing the stock speakers with Fane 8-125's or 8-225's adds loudness, heft and weight but disallows the use of the spkr ext o/p.

This is what I've always done with the violin basses I've owned. To be honest I don't worry to much about intonation being bang on as long as it's not too far out. I just get it the best I can but it's never perfect.

Similar setup here, a One10 with a TCE BH250. The 3 popular heads that are paired up with the One10 seem to be the BH250, the MB200 and the Elf. And all seem very satisfied with their lightweight rig. In fact I'd love to have a shoot-out between these 3 into my One10. Maybe I'll try and arrange it at the next Midlands bass-bash. I use a Tiger cajon bag. https://www.djmmusic.com/showproduct.aspx?ProductID=18339&SEName=tiger-padded-cajon-drum-bag-10mm-padding&gclid=CjwKCAiAgrfhBRA3EiwAnfF4tk91BhA1Pn3iM8T893GAZ-MWKABEJ6tVN1GJxoVPKPnT5O320-twfhoCRvUQAvD_BwE Amp and cab = a 20 lb carry.

This Guy's In Love in C#. It's just not clicking into place in my brain at the moment. Eventually it will and then I'll wonder what the hell the problem was learning it!

I'll echo that sentiment.

If anyone just happens to have the bass tab lying around for This Guy's In Love With You by Burt Bacharach in the key of C# I would be grateful.

Sunburst it should be sunburst, split pickup, jack on the front, maple fingerboard, with LaBella 760F-MUS strings. Why they don't make these anymore I don't know, it's my go-to bass now.

A pleasure to meet up with and get a bargain deal, thank you.

I have only MS and SS instruments all 5 with flats. The tension varies with string make but none feel overly tight/stiff. My Mustang has the La Bella Mustang through-body set and the tension is fine, not sloppy, not too tight. Some Mustangs e.g. the PJ are not through-body though. There is a comparison chart somewhere on the web but I can't remember where.

I'll be interested in your opinion when you've tried the BH250 into the One10.

Mr WHUFC BASS you are perhaps being a bit harsh. What about 'Move It' ?

Methinks my commitment has waned.

Yes I think you're right. I'd put Brucie & Doddy there.

Maybe it's a facet that we all enjoy and some reside at the far end of the spectrum.
