    Hello Nick, Would this be for a band, or practice? If in a band, would you have PA support, and are you competing with guitarists who don't never turn the volume dial anti-clockwise, and what size venues? And what is your budget..? Certainly lots of options at the lighter end: e.g. I play a Barefaced One10 with a Quilter Bass Block, but supplement that with PA. For bigger rooms I sometimes add a 1x15 but for the majority of pubs it's fine. And the classifieds here are a great way to source a bargain! Cheers Kev

    E.g.: https://en-us.sennheiser.com/sennheiser-he-1 $52,000 may seem a lot, but as it has a marble plinth, it doubles as a high-end cheeseboard. And of course you could hack in these $120,000 cans: https://audio46.com/shop/foacl-utopia-tournaire/ ...although what shocks me most about those is that the stand is extra: $12,000! For that I would expect the stand to be a tame velociraptor that I could ride to the shops.

    An excellent lesson, and just at the right time for me as I'm finally learning theory after 3 decades. Also proof that you should judge a book by its cover...thanks for posting!

    Another budget option just tested: my son plays bass too and is 2/3 my weight, so my bass is heavier on him than it is on me. We took turns playing the same riff and he sounded miles better. Ergo, heavier basses are better.

    Very happy with my 3.28kg PJ - through a Tech21 VT pre at SVT setting it has a superb low end. I suppose the only way to tell if weight makes a difference is to isolate weight as the only test variable - not variance in cellular structure between woods, etc.. So best to measure low end response on Earth, and then take the bass to Jupiter for an A/B test (tip: bring headphones rather than speakers to reduce back strain).

    Bump-thing for the weekend, Sir?

    Playing 5-a-side tonight. Head height rule applies so I'll bring my low-pass filter....

    Just sold a head to Michael - smooth as you like with constant comms and fast payment. Highly recommended, cheers Michael!

    I'm guessing it was a resonant frequency if it was only E - causing the speaker to oscillate at its natural frequency. But over to the experts!

    Weekend bump!

    Sorry - having had little recent interest I've just now shipped it for sale elsewhere, but they should be able to ship to Finland - I will PM details. So now withdrawn from here

    Brilliant pics, looked like a great night. Also good work on the scissor jump - especially near the stage edge!

    For sale only: Maruszczyk Basstank 400w doubling amp Two-channel preamp 400w solid state bass head. Proper hefty transformers to deliver heft in spades!

Main selling point is the ability to amplify both electric bass and a double bass mic.

    For sale only, Bass Centre Bruce Thomas profile P bass, gigbag and bag candy. £350 inc. UK courier Full working order. Excellent cosmetic condition, I can't see any marks other than thumb wear on the pickguard cellophane (which is still attached). Gorgeous satin neck, 41mm nut and Mr Thomas' custom profile, not far off an oval C. Powerful pickups! You'ld think it was active, it's significantly louder than other Ps I've owned, but not muddy or bloomy. 4.04kg on the kitchen scales. Lovely to play, only selling because my P and J have made way for a PJ Can courier in original (and very cool!) Bass Centre box.

      Don't forget that NBD thread... with photos, of course
      I was really tempted by a medium scale Jake a few years back on here.
      These days, given my advancing years, I now realise the importance of lightweight basses ;)
