But that's the point of these cabs. Their clarity and definition is so good that nothing "disappears" from any mix.

I agree. A good amp would have got "my" sound from all 3 cabs. I found I liked 99% of all these cabs, with my prference being just the1%.

I listened to the whole video on good headphones and I think I preferred the Two10. That's weird, as last year I sold my 2 Two10's because for the last 3 years I've preferred to gig the 12" cabs, SC's and SM!

. . . . . . . . and me when I try to stand up too quickly!

Yep.Cars? Most of our audiences couldn't muster a shopping trolley between them!

I've never found a use for a compressor, so I'm not sure we are agreeing.

. . . . . . . . but if you mix cornflour properly you don't get lumpy bits.

IMO if the item is less than £200, I'll "insure" it myself, ie I'll write off any damage or loss. As I said in another thread, my insurance is to package a bass so that a tank can run over it. I know basses can get lost etc, but IMO the odds are in my favour. More than £500 and I'll probably be insuring it.

Check out Keb Mo, Bonnie Raitt and Jon Cleary.

My "Fenders with muscles" Sadowsky Metro Jazz and Mike Lull PJ are never a boring basses, even when I'm playing them!

I prefer a volume/pan pot but a volume/volume set up on the right bass wouldn't be a problem. I prefer combined tone controls for all pickups, so that'll be VPT or VVT.

Being unable to count past 4 saved me from that fate!

The wife would have one in a heartbeat, but I refuse to pick up dog shite so we plumped for an another cat.

I own 2 precisions and a fecking Volvo, my 5th in 36 years! I also have several fleeces which probably count as the 21st century equivalent of cardigans. . . . . . . no hope for me then!

I'd be doing 10 gigs a week if they were there to be played, but at the moment I'm quite enjoying the time off.

Playing in the dark was suggested to me when I started.

ATM I'd happily play cheesy shite, with an extra helping of cheesy shite on the side.

ACS. Get the moulds done in a Boots and ACS does the rest.

Of course you can't and that's not what I said. As I said in my first post the man isn't half as interesting as his music. Ignore the man, which is what I do, and listen to the music, or not, it's your choice.

EC was an out of control alcoholic and people in that state can say and do anything. I don't wish to make excuses for anything that he has said or done. If you want to judge him as an alcoholic, so be it. If you want to judge him as a person, let it be on his behaviour since he sobered up.

This. One finger per fret is not a good bass technique, even on short scale basses.

Many years ago I played several very expensive Fodera's at Bass Gear. They were wonderful. You could feel the quality and the tone just oozed out of the speakers. I was very impressed. In spite of being the best I'd ever picked up, the feeling I got after playing those basses, impressive as they were, was that my music and playing was Fender shaped, so my souped up "Fenders" were the best choice for me. Reading reports from Carl Thompson players he builds basses that are unique, very idiosyncratic and of very high quality.

That's more than my first house cost!!

I just use the traditional 2 fingers. A 3 finger technique is capable of playing notes faster than my brain can think of them.
