So as per the title, is it a Lull? (but with a different body and neck (and hardware (and electronics))). 😜

Which band? 😃

Billy Sheehan was in UFO in 1983 but only as a touring member. It would be interesting to hear live recordings from that tour.

Start by asking yourself why someone should give their money to you, instead of any other bass teacher. What are you going to do that they can't get for free off the YouTube? Do you have any extra relevant knowledge that can be applied: Alexander Technique for example? Also factor in time to develop and update lesson plans in addition to your travelling time. Good luck!

What amp was it? Asking for a friend...

This has been tucked away as aesthetically it didn't really suit the depping gigs I've just done for a Soul band 😁

Sorry, One 4 ohm cab = how many ohms?

It's an amp in the for sale thread. An Ashdown. If I can get the full whack from one cable I'll buy it, but I didn't want to influence anyone else buying just because it possibly doesn't do what I want.

It was done by @Cosmicrain of this parish, so I assume so.

Usage is the final arbiter, you'll all be saying it tomorrow! 😉

Not my amp. Yet...

But will the amp be giving the 'full' 500w? Or less watts at 8ohm?

The pic is my cab. Supposing I had 500w amp (minimum 4ohm load) which had 2, 8ohm speakon outputs. Could I connect both amp outputs to both cab inputs to get the 'full' 500w, or would something nasty happen?

"If you can play guitar you can play bass"

I blame the Government!

If chicken fat was good enough for Jaco... 😜

Can't comment on the OP's choice, but just for a contrary opinion, I have a Puma 500 and it sounds lovely and warm.

For those of us who do not do the Twitter, could you provide some context please 🙂

Yesterday's afternoon gig, was at Choko Beerfest. The last of my dep gigs for The Soul Seniors. It was in a marquee at the back of a village hall in rural Oxfordshire. There was beer on sale, but it was more like a 'family fun day' what with all the kids running about. As it was a lovely day, most people we're in the sun outside the marquee, but they seemed to be listening as we were getting applause. I took minimal gear, bass setup was: Bass - wireless - pedal tuner - BDI21 - PA. It was a tinny bass sound from the monitors but it sounded good out front. Got back home to that London in daylight.

C Country Music Awards and not a Stetson in sight! 😉

I restrung mine B-E-A-D as I was playing in a Sadistic Darkwave band at the time (don't ask!). It handled the low B fine, just had to route the nut notch a tad.

His addictions in no way justify his behaviour.

IIRC there was a red passive USA Sub for sale here recently, last year, or the year before?

I bought one when they first came out. Or rather I ordered one, black and passive, and was sent a black and active. Back it went, and a few weeks later I was sent a red and passive. Back it went, then a couple of weeks later I finally received my black passive USA Sub. I posted about it on the Music Man forum, in a thread called 'The bass they didn't want me to have!'. This became the thread they did not want to show, because it was deleted. 3 times 😝 Anyway I really liked the bass, it sounded like a MM despite being passive, lovely neck, and wasn't too heavy. I only got rid because I play fingerstyle and the edge of the body was not contoured, and used to dig into my arm, eventually quite painfully by the end of a gig. With hindsight I should have just chamfered a tad off the corner where my arm rested.
