  1. Interesting, that! "Can I fit the stack in a .... " Was always the primary purchasing criterion when selecting a replacement vehicle! And for me, the required volume level was usually > the last one!
  2. I'm not the GAS man either. Well, not for amps; they're just a tool for a job! Basses are where it's at for me!
  3. ProAmplifiers Demon 80w 1x12 Trace Elliot 1110 4x10 combo (?Series4) Trace Elliot 122HSMX and 1048h Ampeg SVP-Pro QSC PLX 1202 Now? Just the ProAmps Demon. The Ampeg is in a case in the loft. Until I can find a band (easier days than done, it seems), I've no use for a "big" amp
  4. Lower down the price scale (~£260?) Is the Zoom B2 Four. Due in Autumn 2023. Looks promising at the price.
  5. If a cab has casters, leave it standing on them. Reason? They have a tendency to rattle when you play. Whether that's mechanically or acoustically generated is irrelevant. It's annoying!
  6. I got the lot. Active pickups and EQ Passive pickups and Active EQ Passive with Passive tone Passive with no tone My current preference is for the last of these- in the form of a G&L SB-2 Tribute. That said, I love the Bongo 6 and Ibanez EDC 715. Common factor? Epic pickups.
  7. 👍I had a fancy golf club one (bar towels are good also) that used to clip to the handle of a bass cab
  8. Captain Pugwash theme tune gets em every time.
  9. Are you suggesting that it's a Pope pre-amp? 😉
  10. Pronounced like this guy. Except he's The Moog. The definite article.
  11. And then there's EUBs....
  12. Fresh air has helped. I've had the instrument hanging in a well-ventilated room. The case may well end up being left out in the sun when warmer weather comes. ! Just remembered! I put my Warwick in that case. I'd better retrieve it before that smells bad, too!
  13. Except its not from the 80's
  14. Should be. I believe the 1048 and these (1518??) are the same enclosure, but with a different baffle, driver, grille and (hopefully) differently tuned ports. The 2103 and 1153 were definitely the same box.
  15. Wear long sleeves to avoid carpet burns to the insides of your elbows!
  16. Great amps. I would.... But way too far away and too heavy even for me to bounce into the car. GLWTS.
  17. Be that a Stronglight chainset?
  18. With the notable exception of so-called "Christmas Songs"
  19. As per the title, recommend and discuss alternative bass choices for your favourite famous bassists based on... well, anything really! (Credit for this idea due to a picture of Tony Levin playing a Dingwall) I'll kick off with; Someone get Dave Ellefson (ex-Megadeth) a Musicman Bongo. I think the tone would suit him down to the ground.
  20. Nor have I. Mk1 in my case, though.
  21. As per @Waddo Soqable , I use a capo on a 4-string in D standard. Naturally, it frequently resides at the second fret for E Standard, but has been known to move further up, for "Barbarism begins at home", as an example, or if I need a pedal tone that's further up but out of reach unless I tap. Gives a good compromise that covers a lot of ground.
  22. It'd be better if it were one of those little clip-on LED lamps, so you could play in the dark. And if it had a strobe mode... well, the possibilities are endless.
