Neither for me, Ricky player all day long. I have tried to be a 'normal' player, and did spend some time last year with a P. It is indeed a fine bass, just not for me. With this in mind, I vote P. It is, after all, the definition of bass guitar for so many.

Roqsolid cover purchased for my Fender Rumble 40 combo. Even though it's my practice amp, I thought I may take it out, so bought the matching cover. However, it never leaves the house, and the cover lives in the wardrobe! As a result, I have an as-new and totally unused Roqsolid cover (black, orange edges) to fit a current, V3 Fender Rumble 40 combo. Only want £20 for this, and I'll post it included. Payment by Paypal 'gift' please, plenty of feedback on here, so you can hopefully see I'm a trusted seller. PM for interest, thanks for looking! SB BTW - cab not included! -
Got the TGI Extreme through today. Well done Bassgear, great service from these guys. It's a lovely bit of kit, exactly what I was after. Fits the bass well, very padded and protective too. Glad I posted the thread before blowing £100 on a Mono - the TGI is just the product I imagined and wanted. Fits in the gap I wanted it to like a dream! (Speech..) I'd like to thank Bassgear, Basschat, TGI, etc, etc.....!

Interesting stuff here! My dilemma was that I don't use PT, and only carry the bass from car and into the venue. Always used HC out of habit. However, I can squeeze my rig in the car if I use a gig bag, and it's lighter to carry as well. Taking a HC with TSA approved locks is a bit extreme for a 10 second walk, I've discovered!
-
Car is actually quite big, just a small boot! Must admit, I put my love of cars on a par, on this case, above playing bass. I've got for a 112 - found a way of safely squeezing it in!
-
Just puller the trigger on the TGI from Bassgear - £37, free postage, and a free tuner!
-
Cool! I've just read about the TGI extreme which seems OK. Don't know how it would compare to the Mono, it's a lot cheaper!
-
Great advice guys. So the Vertigo...quite steep at £150....any alternatives?
-
Having changed the car, I'm having to go on a bit of a size reduction on gear! I've always used hardcases for years, never considered anything else. However, I could get my bass behind the seats if it was in something thinner...hence my curiosity was tweaked by the Mono M80 bag. How strong are these? Are they a viable alternative with good enough protection for my bass? Noticed the do a Vertigo at £50 more.... Thoughts please guys...or a trailer!😃
-
Would a 1x12 be another option? Used to run the 115 with the 2x10 combo.
-
Trouble is, car space...I may need the biggest bang per buck to sit alongside the 115!
-
I'm looking to send a bass - when sold - but I'm out of bass packing material! Any tips what to use/where to try? I've always had an excess of cardboard before, bought and used the old box! This time...and last...I'm totally out!
-
I'm in the process of building my 1st rig, getting away from 20 years of combos. Space is a serious transportation issue - so small is important. Now running a Fender Rumble 500 head, 115 (15") cab. If I did need more in the future - not sure I will, as it's very powerful - but if I did, would a small 10" cab help? Eden make the EX110 for example. Great size-wise, but is it a viable option for more grunt if necessary? Re grunt, ie more power!😉
-
I'm going to withdraw this one. No interest, and so I've got other plans for it now. Have to sell something else instead!

Bump it up....

Welcome! West coaster here - raised in the UK, but born in, and am regularly back, in Mayo. C'mon the Green and Red!

I only score three with our band. They're not really representative of what we do, but I guess getting booked means we always have to include some pleasers. Reckon I've done about 13 of those with other bands....as a setlist.....I think I'd run a mile! (Though Black Night is still a corker in my book)
-
Sunday bump - as new cab, with cover and cable, ready to go!

Ever met a famous musician…. but not realised at the time?

I once bought a cheap Fender guitar practice amp from Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze. (I had no idea who he was, until I was leaving and saw the flight case with his name all over it). Funny thing is, he'd been telling me about 'playing over the weekend', etc, and I had just assumed he was a regular guy playing part-time! -
[quote name='mike 110' timestamp='1462294473' post='3041874'] Just what I'm after ! But you're too far away [/quote] That's a shame bump!

Jeff purchased a couple of sets of flats from me, as I moved back to rounds! Super chap to deal with, instant payment, great comms.....can I say super again?!

[size=6]Up for grabs is my [u][b]Fender Rumble 115 (1x15") cab.[/b][/u][/size] [size=6]I bought it new last year - but I never use it, as my combo is enough for my needs, so could use the funds elsewhere.[/size] [size=6]As a result, it is immaculate. Also comes with a [u][b]custom-made Roqsolid cover (also mint).[/b][/u][/size] [size=6]I will also throw in a speakon cable, Fender, so you can get using straight away![/size] [size=6]This is a collection-only item - I am based in [u]New Romney, Kent[/u] - near Ashford, so very easy to get to![/size] [b][u][size=6]These retail at nearly £300 new - so I'm asking £195, collected, including the cover and the cable.[/size][/u][/b] [size=6]This is a great saving, as you'll be getting, essentially, a pretty much new cab with all the extras [b][u](which were around £55).[/u][/b][/size] [size=6]Please PM for more details - thanks for looking!

Lifelong pick player here. Did start with fingers, never really liked the tone. Guess a mixture of that, and influence of players I admire(d) pushed me towards the pick. For me it's tone, agility/speed, and attack - I have tried fingers over the years, but TBH, I think I sound really bad when I try it. After years of playing, I guess I have developed my style, so it's what I bring to the table in any band. Most players I see always seem to use fingers, so that's another reason to stick to the pick!

SOLD! Many thanks Jeff - PM sent.

[size=5][u][b]FENDER 9050L FLATS - 0.45 - .100[/b][/u][/size] I'm changing my string preference, so thought I'd let these go. We have a brand new, unopened, set, and another set that is used, but only for the last month (on and off). These retail at over £20, so how's about £18.00 for the 2 sets, free P+P? Payment by Paypal, marked as gift. I have sold plenty on here before, so please buy with confidence. PM away!
