Mo Foster played the Bergerac theme.

I have all the gear I want/need. . . . but if money was no object I'd ask Santa for a couple of Roadies.

Tribute bands require a totally different logic. I know the guys in a Cream/Hendrix tribute band and they went out and bought Marshall 412 stacks!! They are nearly as old as me. . . utter madness!!

Same here, which is why I bought the lightest gear available at the time and a heavy duty trolley (Wolfcraft) for the days when I just don't want to carry anything.

I've been using ACS for approx 18 years, PRO17's, PRO20's and a set of PRO26's, for one particular guitarist!! I wouldn’t gig without them.

Thanks to @NancyJohnson and @prowla for all their efforts and organisational skills. Basschat is good, but it's better to meet up with bass players. I got a few ideas for the future. Thanks guys.

My piece of foam has been working well for pennies for about 10 years. I'm not sure I'd want to spend £££'s on something that does the same job.

I hope everyone keeps buying new bass gear from shops. Then I can continue to buy used when they race after the next purchase.

If you have a damaged collarbone it doesn't matter what strap you use. Maybe you could put the strap over your right shoulder, or better still, grab a bar stool and sit, until your bones are properly mended.

I've gigged with 2 One10's in a loud top 40's cover band using a 5 string bass and these cabs handled the gig perfectly. I also successfully gigged a Two10 and One10 in a loud blues rock band. I see no reason why the 310 wouldn't come through with flying colours.

He didn't, but he got the proof of concept right, and pretty much nailed it the 2nd time.

I used the Dynacord BS412 115 EV Combo in the 80's. It was a fantastic piece of kit but I had to sell it in the early 90's, I couldn't lift the thing any more. Even a dolly board didn't help.

Because that is what defines an instrument. A Warwick with P pickups is a Warwick with P pickups and is not a Precision. A Precision with Music Man pickups is not a Music Man, and so on. The body shape defines the bass. If someone's been mucking about with the pickups, hardware etc, that doesn't change the definition.
