  1. People pay me, can’t be that bad? But seriously I know I am very average but am also sure I am above the curve for how long I have been playing. That’s thanks to a hell of a lot of practice and being in a band with some seriously good musicians which means I constantly push myself to improve.

    No need for them to be mismatched if the maker knows what they are doing. I have no reason to doubt the recommendation of Markbass who happen to suggest the exact setup I am after. My present TE setup certainly isn’t mismatched either.

    Most of it, I read that first but was after confirmation on one detail which obbm kindly gave in the first response.

    Possibly but my experience is different, there has been a very different sound to the 15s I use compared to the 10s of the same make.

    I like the mix of 10s and a 15, always seems a more rounded sound than 4x10.

    Thanks, good to have an expert confirm what I thought!

    Looking at a lightweight rig to backup my TE kit for smaller/ up a million stairs gigs. Looking at the Markbass range, specifically the traveller 2x10 and 1x15. The 2x10 is available in 4 or 8ohm, the 15 only 8. The amps won’t take less than 4 but have higher power at 4 than 8. I just want to double check my understanding is correct, if I use two 8ohm cabs I will be getting around the 4ohm needed, if used a 4and 8 it would be under the 4ohm and therefore a bad idea. So the best combination is both 8ohm but for a single cab it would be the 2x10 4ohm. Sorry that’s a bit rambling but hoping someone can confirm that’s about right.
  8. I don’t have a belt sander anymore, I got rid of all my heavy vibration tools due to arthritis. Shame as it would be very useful on this one.
  9. Success! Serious Woodworkers should close their ears now. I shaped the rear section by using a cordless drill with a cross mill in it. It worked surprisingly well. I then used a rasp followed by a metal file. It’s ready for the routing to be done but not sure when I will get chance to do that. I also now have everything I need except the tuners and wiring. I may make up the loom myself or go for a cheap ebay one at first then upgrade.
  10. Due to Christmas and the usual January frenzy at work I haven’t had much chance to do anything on this. But I have managed to shape the body and do the rear shaping (minimal). I have a couple of rubbish pics on my phone which I will attempt to upload.
  11. I was offered one of those cabs for £80 a few months back and turned it down, just too heavy and no need for it. That price? No chance.
  12. We always play a semi tone down, I use roto 66s and can’t say I have noticed them being floppy so might be worth a try.
  13. I have bought a super cheap eBay special in the past, it came in less than a week from China (where most of the others come from anyway) and was a very good fit.
  14. I have an Aria ATB that I picked up for peanuts. It’s great and I will never sell it as it’s still worth peanuts. It would be an ideal starter for someone and a lot better than the Encore type fender clones.
  15. We played last Friday at a local pub and are rebooked for May, we will do about 50% new stuff next time. There are some that tend to stay put and others that we swap,in an out depending on how we feel and the venue.
  16. I have used them in the past and it works ok. It is relentless and I learnt it as a newish player and by the end I was always ready for it to stop!
  17. Welcome, I had the pleasure to live in Delft and Breda in the 90s and loved it. Delft had a great music scene at the time.
  18. Tabs here: https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/dr_feelgood/roxette_bass_1500939
  19. I have a behringer microphone that is superb for the money but the couple of bits of bass kit I have had of theirs have both died in short order which makes me a bit wary.
  20. Just had a thought, I am also looking for an ABY pedal, does anyone do an ABY pedal bit with additional DI out? I have looked but can’t find one.
  21. Looks like it's the orchid, thanks everyone!
  22. I really don’t understand why people are obsessed with filming everything in appalling resolution/sound whilst missing the live experience.
  23. I need a DI box as backup so don’t want to spend a fortune. Came across this and it seems bargain https://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/SubZero-SZ-DIP1-Passive-DI-Box/1SDA?origin=product-ads&campaign=PLA+Shop+-+GENERIC&adgroup=GENERIC&medium=vertical_search&network=google&merchant_id=1279443&product_id=83422d1&product_country=GB&product_partition_id=392730990457&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrOvt59D62AIVrr_tCh1iYwY7EAQYCCABEgKPLPD_BwE Does anyone have any experience of these? Or any other suggestions?
