I still have no idea how to get the dials on the EQ to work. The sliders work great but the silver dials in the middle either side do absolutely nothing hahaha

Yes, I totally love gigging. For me, its about playing music, that's the enjoyment and why I do it, I'm playing music and that's all that maters. I'm doing what I love and I've been doing it for 32 years now and I'm only 49. I started out in original bands and had a little success. That died and formed a new band that ended up getting signed and we had a minor hit and all the trimmings of being in a signed band touring etc. That ended and joined a few other bands with some minor success. Then I stopped for a few years and got asked to join a very busy covers band which is a totally different kettle of fish to the original band environment but equally as enjoyable. I'm now earning good money, have an audience every gig who get up and dance the night away and we get chased for gigs, no more "give us a gig please". The only thing missing is the creativity of writing new songs but the other side sure does make up for it. On average I play around 100 gigs a years and I love it.

I must admit, I really dont like the whole MarkBass styling of late. It's very gaudy and childlike. I think these 2 are quite simple in design. The Epifani looks functional, no thrills high end hifi and the Fender is simple with a slight retro look about it.

I've actually got an Ashdown MiBass 500 head as my back up and I must say, its probably the best sounding Class D amp I've used. I've had a a LM3, Shuttle 6, Shuttle 9, Reidmar and a few others and they've all left me wanting and a little disappointed. The Ashdown has been great so far and I've not been disappointed at all. I wonder if the MiBass shares any similarities with the Rootmaster heads.

I've actually just gone back to the Hartke HA5500 head. I used to have one back when they first came out in the late 90's and it was a fabulous head. One came up last year on Ebay and I got it for £150. Sold my MarkBass LM3 and dont regret it, it's just a bit bigger and heavier but sounds fabulous.

Mark my words, he'll take this to a new level or else they'll be in hot water and he'll give them a slap, then what will the children say 😊

I've tried the Marcus head back to back with my LM3 and it was way better. A lot more dynamic and cleaner sounding. A lot more punch and tonal definition.

Ooohh I think I need an Ebow. I love this sort of stuff.

I do like the look of the Little Mark Vintage head.

Sounds like flats to me.

Have emailed Jon already but thank you.

Yeah, that is exactly what I'm after but not sure I'd risk it either.

Hi, I would like to get a maple fretless neck made for my natural Fender Precision bass. The idea is so it's a replica of Sting's fretless maple Fender Precision as seen in the pictures. Apart from Jon Shuker, are there any other options available to me? I'm in the south so a bit of a trek to head up to Shuker although I would if it's the best option. Thanks in advance for the help.

Clarky, keep us posted on how you get on with the MojoMojo please. I'm really interested in this pedal now and it would be good to hear your thoughts before taking the plunge myself.

I've had the exact same with our guitarist when I used a Smoothound and my G30. Our guitarist has a G30 also and we are on different channels.

That looks lovely

I literally just came here to say exactly the same. Also an unlined Fretless American standard Jazz and Precision.

That's the one and fretless as well 😀 Yep, will post pictures the day I get it I promise 😊

I was told my Limelight will be ready in 12 - 16 weeks. This Monday is 12 weeks so I guess anytime now I might get the call 😁😁 I don't think I've been so excited about getting a bass. Just so itching to see it 😊

I've got a right mixed bag at the moment. Hartke amp, Epifani cab and Fender basses so America for those items. I then have an Ashdown valve amp, cab and back up amp head so good old British. I then have two Kala Uku basses so American for them. I love my main rig but if I do replace it then I'll probably go Ashdown.

Wow, that was amazing.
