King Tut

A couple of years ago, I bought a four string Bubinga passive Corvette from here, in great condition Inc lovely hard case for £450, so I'd say it's well overpriced. Just be patient until something more realistically priced comes along.

I just put the address into Google Maps and it looks like a residential property, not a shop or warehouse. If something looks to good to be true, it usually is!

I use one of these regularly. I've never had an issue with the battery door, however . . . . for a while, i kept getting dropouts. In order to overcome this i did the following: 1. I stopped leaving the receiver on top of my amp and placed it on the floor. Apparently, they don't like metal underneath them as it affects reception 2. When setting it up, i choose the channel that has the least interference, indicated by the reception lights on the receiver. 3. The transmitter has two modes - RF-1 and RF-2. The newer ones ship with RF-2 programmed, This is designed to minimise interference with wifi devices. I've changed mine back to RF-1. Do an online search to find out how as i can't remember and it's not obvious. It now works faultlessly. I use rechargeable batteries in it and charge before each gig.

Thank you Charic!

When using the site on my mobile, how do I view sticky notes that have already been read by me?

Thanks guys

The impossible dream maybe, but I'm looking at getting back into fronting a trio playing Rock and Pop in pubs. In order to minimise the amount of gear I cart about, I was thinking of running the bass straight into the PA. In order to minimise the amount of PA, I was wondering if anyone had used a PA with just two 12' powered speakers and no subs and successfully ran bass and kick through them as well as vox and guitar. A couple of units I'd been considering were FBT X-Lite 12's and Yamaha DXR 12's, Just playing small to medium sized pubs. I'd obviously have a monitor or two to run the bass as well as vox through for stage sound. Thanks in advance and have a fab weekend!

+1 on the Sandberg VM or VT. Very versatile. I was really lucky and picked up a Yamaha BB1100s from crack converters for silly money but you can often pick em up for about £250. A massive amount of bass for peanuts!

Here's my take on it from a gig . . . https://youtu.be/GKuOKL-h6Wk

I think you did totally the right thing. If the drummer knew he was 'getting away with it he should've left of his own accord then the rest of the band wouldn't have been put in the awkward position that you were by having to sack him.

Has anyone got one of the later Warwick Rockbasses? I've got a real hankering for a Fortress but they seem to be as rare as rocking horse pooh at the moment. I had a look at Warwick's youtube vid of their Rock Bass Fortress and it all looked quite spiffing, but £800 odd seems a bit much to pay for what was once their budget range . . . . thoughts?

I used to have a Hohner B Bass 6 which was pretty incredible for the money. If you see one used it'd deffo be worth a punt.
