Obvious but boosted mids are a game changer, I run mine pretty much maxed.

Ok answered my own question, looked into a bit more and I will need more than 650 joules protection, we live and we learn.

I ordered this online and received it today, it's Belkin brand and I found it says on the box that it is for medium sized appliances, not sure what constitutes medium sized appliances? will be used for a large-ish combo amp and some smaller items (power supply for pedals, possibly a smallish guitar amp) Has anyone used this particular surge protected extension lead? Will this be up to the job? Thanks

You hit the nail on the head there

Thanks for the replies, in the end I ended up our purchasing this off of BaggyMan , looking forward to once this is delivered. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/508185-markbass-121h-combo-with-cover-now-£400-come-on-this-is-a-steal/

I quite like the look of that

Getting back into playing in a band after a long break due to various reasons and I need a combo amp that will do medium size gigs. I used to have a Rumble 500 but I see that these are now around the £700 mark and money is tight, I have seen the below for just a hair above £250 new. Wondering if anyone has used these and if so is this a worthwhile purchase. I know the 1000w is marketing bs and it will very likely put out a lot less but wondering if this combo will be powerful enough for medium size gigs and if it is reliable. https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Bugera-BXD15-1x15-1000w-Bass-Comb/1WNZ?origin=product-ads&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA8Lu9BhA8EiwAag16by9i7P-RPrZkMy_aQPP9nc1IkVOvSuwoBDlR3k-h8IpEfb4Ey-v92BoCvpsQAvD_BwE Thanks

I would be interested to see someone do a side by side comparison to see if any difference between them at all but you may well be right. On the other hand it could just be that the the way things are going it is getting too expensive to make instruments in Mexico, ceramic pickups have been a common theme with the lower end Fenders as has poplar bodies. In fact come to think of it the Player series basses (with the exception of the player Mustang) that I have played have all felt like affinity basses quality wise.

Are they? Do we know that for sure? If so how? Not saying you are wrong or right I am just genuinely interested to know.

Not everyone has the cash to drop on a Fender so why not give people options depending on what they can afford?

This is a fantastic move by Fender, the player series were getting silly price wise (£700+ for an entry level Fender is just silly) so to see these for around the £550 mark is good.

Wow that is beautiful, what a fantastic looking bass, let me know if you ever decide to move it on.

A picture of my Les Paul shaped bass, a Gretsch junior jet ii bass that my wife bought me. Would be interested to find out what other short scale Les Paul basses there are out there

My wallet is safe, I would have to give up eating for several months to afford one of those.

You will likely need medium scale due to the extra length of the tailpiece.

I found them a very tight fit,I was able to get the E string on by very slowly pushing just enough of the string through the tuner to be able to wind it but it was a tight fit.

Hi Does anyone here have any experience with hard cases for Junior jet ii basses? Most of the ones I have seen have been out of stock I am guessing this one will fit - tweed casebut it does not explicitly say what Gretsch basses/guitars it fits and I live in a small flat with limited courier options so I could do without the hassle of having to return a case if it does not fit Any advice welcome, thank you

I already have a Junior jet ii bass but wow this is gorgeous Gretsch streamliner jet bass

Yeah I tried this set and I found them way too stiff, they sounded great but they were painful to play, they lasted all of 2 days.

That's a nice problem to have. I currently have a Gretsch junior jet ii and a bass I put together from parts, would love another bass but don't really have the space so it will have to wait until I have shifted the parts bass (the Gretsch is staying)

When I had a Hofner if I was struggling with a song I used to switch the Bass slider switch on, instant mud that means no-one can tell when you botched a note or six. I feel I should also mention that they are actually surprisingly articulate basses with the Bass slider off and both pickups on.
