Mike bought a Cort GB4 from me, and was happy to meet up half way. Great communication and ovely guy.

I bought a Barefaced Super Compact cab from Mickey, fantastic condition. Was happy to meet halfway. While we were chatting, he offered me his Markbass LM800 and was happy to let me to take it away to try it out! Needless to say that I bought that too... Top bloke. Many thanks Mickey

Will deffo be going back next time our Thursday jam is cancelled!

Have been playing for three years or so and jam with once a week with a group of infinitely more experienced musicians. Also have been practicing with a 5 piece with a view to start gigging soon. Although I have played a few gigs (mostly successful) and am improving slowly but steadily, I have never had the balls to play at a jam night. Last night I took my drummer along to a local open mic for moral support, and lo and behold, managed to play for half an hour with no problems. Some material I knew, but some the house band guitarist showed me the chords. It helped that there were only a couple of other musicians in the pub so didn't feel intimidated. That was a big deal for me, especially as I'm in my early 50s! Onwards and upwards...

+1 to the Westone Thunder, got me started a few years back...

Thanks - the V4-B looks ideal, hopefully not too heavy to lug around. No where's my nearest Ampeg dealer! I'll try a few out and report back. Cheers to all

Yes of course - I guess I just wanted a steer on what to look for initially.

Thanks for the info. Have you tried different cabs with the RH750?

I've had a TC Electronic RH450 running through a K210 cab for about 18 months and I'm thinking of changing the cab. I'm just not happy with the tone - maybe a bit too modern for my liking - it sounds clipped and too harsh when pushed hard. I play mainly classic rock and want that 'vintage' Precision sound, but I'm just not getting it with this setup. I just really don't like the tone when playing live. I have considered other heads but thought the clever thing to do would be to replace the cab and see where I go from there. Anyone else felt the same with the TC stuff? I don't mind spending decent money on the right gear, am looking to spend up to six or seven hundred quid max on a cab I suppose. Alot of the guys I see locally have MarkBass rigs - most of whom sound great, so have also considered a Little Mark Tube 500W head + 102HF 4 ohm cab. Suggestions welcomed! Cheers

I'll let you know how they feel with a few weeks use

From the Jam at Dartford's Mick Jagger Centre, 40 years since the release of 'All Mod Cons'. Bruce Foxton is still the man. Genius

Time off from work so I can practice more than 10 mins a day... 🙄

I've just put La Bella Low Tension flats on my Precision and first impressions are very nice feel and they sound ace. Be interesting to see how much they loosen up as they settle in...

Played a gig last night with 20 of my family and friends in the audience. Went well, no pink torpedo-ups until the last number when the drummer completely forgot his lines. Drumming totally out of time. Me and the lead guitarist tried to keep things together, he got back into it and we finished OK. I thought it sounded like a disaster but speaking to my family and mates afterwards, not one person noticed...

Thanks guys 👍🏻

I'm after a new strap for my MIJ precision. It's quite a bit lighter than my Cort GB4 jazz so the chunky leather strap that I bought for the Cort is too big and uncomfortable on the P. I'm looking at a material strap, does anyone have any suggestions that are light-ish weight and comfy? Cheers
