It's on threads like this that I realise I'm sharing Basschat with a bunch of weirdos.

This year I reduced my stuff to 2 basses, 2 amps and 2 cabs. And I'm still playing the best sounding gear I've owned in a long line of great sounding gear.

+1 Guys, even the top pro's, will play what is easy for them and fits into their style. If someone can play triplets with 3 fingers they will. Most of the rest of us can't do that trick so we'll adjust and play it the way we can, or if you're a guitarist or singer you'll just refuse to play a song you don't like (can't play or sing!)

You already have some of the best basses, amps and cabs. . . . . I reckon you have reached the stage of having enough. That's a good place to be. Now you only need to focus on the important stuff, what your are playing, where and with whom; the set, the gigs and the bands.

The best bass shop we have access to is the Basschat classifieds.

Perfect Intro? The two for me. . . . and . . . .

Sad news.

An "old" 210? If you start from a low point it isn't very difficult to get a better sound. Many cheap and older cabs were/are just cheap drivers in a box. Built to a low price point. It would be easier to get a better sound because you're installing the drivers they couldn't use in the original design because it would have made the cab too expensive. When you start using good drivers you also have to start specifically designing the cab to bring out the better qualities of that driver, or else you're wasting its potential. If you start with a decent cab it will be harder to improve the sound. They will already be using better quality components and will have spent spent some time designing the cab.

Yes. That's what the rest of the post was about.

Yep, a piece of cake. If I was playing this I'd do the 4(B)-1(D)-4(E) fingering people are suggesting, but the second 4(E) would be made by flattening the pinky, ie the pinky remains on the B but the finger is flattened to hit the E. No hand movement required at all and the only finger movement would be the rocking pinky back and forth.

Jack, If your One10 is the cloth grill model I'll have it when you're ready. Cheers

Not my thing at all, but if it keeps Fender afloat then I'm all for it.

Oh dear!

I knew a band years ago who fell out with their singer. The first thing he did was to phone all the venues and cancel all the band gigs! Revenge can come in many forms.

I understand why you've left. . . . but, why do you expect to retain admin rights to the bands Facebook page? Why be upset about that?

Guys, if you are currently running an ad in the For Sale section please reload your photos. It's very frustrating to look at an ad, expecting to ogle some fine looking stuff, only to find there is no photo due to the BC software switch over. Many thanks Chris

Lozz is right. You need a modular rig. Sell the 410. Buy 2 very good 112's or 210's.

13lbs will leave a dent in the pavement if you put the case down heavily!

All good - I've started to clear out the shed. One small point. . . in the profile, the currently viewing field isn't being cleared when we stop viewing something. It still lists us as viewing the last topic, even when we've come out of it.

My preference would be to display more lines of content per page and space everything out less.

I didn't change anything. I assumed an update to the system was made.

I'm seeing prices now. Ta

I'm still not seeing any prices either, unless they're in the title or the body of the text.

. . . . I've not played that but Al Martino's version of Spanish Eyes was a particular difficult 4 mins.
