The body woods haven't been matched at all, have they?

I never use a pick so that’s good. I know the body on the excess is quite big though. Do you have a picture from the bottom end like this?

Will they take a deposit? To hold it for you, I mean.

Hm I had a bass with a flat top and binding and it hurt my forearm when sitting. It doesn’t look like the ones with binding have an angled bit… I know the ones without binding do. How did you find it? I’m only looking out of idle curiosity tbh.

@Bigwan and anyone with a Roger Glover sig (with the binding) - is there a forearm cutaway or is the top flat?

I Don't think posts in 'Off Topic' or the Marketplace count towards your total, so get stuck in!

I think the sweet spot for a combo is to be loud enough for personal monitoring and small/light enough for one hand carry. Otherwise, what's the point? As such, I love my Eic BC112pro. The tilt back stand makes it super useful on bigger stages where there's a good PA. Interested to know what you think it's missing. it suits me very well, with EQ all neutral; the 'taste' control is all I use.

Played a great gig at the weekend, probably our best yet. The Thunderstangbacker sounded ace, and I love my little Eich combo!

Tyler basses

Maybe standing behind an 8x10 in the future might help with stage fright

I do that at rehearsal where we don't PA the bass, and it works well. However on stage I've actually used it next to the drummer but pointing away from him and towards me, so that his monitor mix isn't muddied by my amp. Given that I'm off to the side with nobody else next to me, I think it gives the rest of the band less bass bleed and a cleaner stage sound.

We played a really great gig yesterday at Oundle music festival. Once again I used my Eich 112XS combo which tilts back so I can hear myself really well on stage and the DI sound is perfect. When I position the amp on stage, I naturally put it behind me because that’s what I’ve always done. But at sound check I tried it in front of me like a monitor, and had the FOH out keys and vocals in my actual monitor. It worked really well and I could feel the bass and hear it even batter. I moved it though for the gig because it was in the way to be honest for everyone else coming on and off stage but I wondered if anyone else does this regularly? I think next time I might do it from the start and move other things around to make room. I think having it facing away from the audience probably helps reduce the on stage sound, too - I think I could have it even louder without affecting the PA sound out front.
