Bass EQ on the Marshall all the way down??????? Where's the fun in that? That might be an ok scenario if I were playing stadium gigs and the tech was setting up and lugging my stuff about, but I am trying to keep the set up a little bit more minimal. Your suggestion is, however, noted sir.

You know what, you might be on to something there 3below. I may have a go at unplugging the speakers and running it through a couple of different bass cabs.

Hmmm, that's what I was thinking. Shame though, sounds so good.

Anyone ever used a Marshall Bluesbreaker as a gigging bass amp? Somebody borrowed my TC rig and for want of a practice amp I plugged into my Bluesbreaker. It sounded awesome!! Such a warm and natural sound. They are loud amps, which I know from playing guitar, but I don't know how they would fare at gig volume with a low B on the five string rattling through it.

I'd like to see Yamaha amongst the exhibitors: finding their basses to try is quite hard in my experience. I can't believe that they can't afford the show fees. [/quote] Fair enough fella. We'll just leave those awkward looking upright things out of it then eh? Lets just plug in and get loud.

One performer I would like to see is Adam Ben Ezra. Something for the acoustic low end followers amongst us. That would make a change from the norm.
