Obviously a Barefaced 610 then!

I would seriously consider keeping the ABM600 and replacing all the other cabs with a Barefaced Supertwin. It’s the ultimate one cab solution. IMHO. It’s what I used at a festival this Saturday (mine’s a 500 though).

Where is the thread going to eventually lead to? I’m guessing “Do you take a dump before you gig and if so what brand of loo roll do you use? How many sheets, etc” 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I think that’s very common amongst decent rock players as it acts like an adhesive between the guitar and bass sound, making one magical super tone.

I use either a bit of old foam from a scouring pad, or roll the tone down/off or use the side of my palm. Seems to work well enough

Not sure if it counts but I have 2 P basses with status necks. Well actually one with a status jazz neck and the other a GMT P bass neck. GMT was the original company Rob Green had before Status.

This will undoubtedly mean the cost of their s/h cabs will rise too.

This was a great takeaway from the documentary Sidemen: Top 3 Rules: 1. Be good enough 2. Look the part 3. Be easy to get along with It applies to you, it applies to them. Simple.

Guitarists, especially average ones are ‘ten a Penny’. Decent, professional singers are not. You made the right choice.

I think the bass synth wah is a good option. Currently using it as just an octave pedal but it does synth and envelope filter too pretty well. About £70 s/h. Bargain considering the amount of options it provides. There is also a built in cab sim if you hold the pedal down before you power up too.

Used to use a single super compact with 500w heads. Sounded great. Sounded better with 2 cabs. Needed the cash sold one. Sounded less better with just the one cab. Bought a Super Twin. Problem solved.

I have had a string break, amps crap out, dodgy leads. At a recent gig at the start of the second set just as I pushed my lead into the input socket of the bass, the nut and washer fell off onto the floors and the socket fell inside the bass! I turned to tell the guitarist what happened. He looked shocked and said “what are you going to do now!” I said “nothing” just smiled, leant across and grabbed my spare bass! Pays to be prepared.

There are some good Robert Kelley videos online explaining compression in great detail. I never used one until recently. Just makes it sound so much better. Wouldn’t be without it now. if you’ve got the money get the Cali 76, if you don’t grab a s/h spectracomp for about £50. I managed to pick up a lovely Seymour Duncan studio compressor really cheaply. They are great too. Good luck.

There you go. Save you guys having to look it up.

I believe it was Marlowe DK doing it

+ 1 for the Super Twin. Used to have one Super Compact, then two. Then sold the new one. Regretted it so bought a Super Twin. Amazing one cab solution.

I run my fuzz through the dirty loop of my Billy Sheehan deluxe pedal and mix in the clean tone.
