    I played a gig at the weekend with a guitarist using one of these. I believe his cab had a Celestion driver. It sounded immense. Good luck with the sale.

    That's not good customer service. It's like refusing to tell you what colour or how many strings a bass has.

    Ha! You beat me to it.

    I was 17. The gig was a local youth club, in Ruislip, and we were a blues band. The first song was Howlin Wolf's Spoonful.

    I regularly saw PEN 15 on a Roller driving around Ealing in the 60's.

    The only number plate I'd buy would be CHR 1 S, but that's already on a car and last went for about £250k!!

    Pro's: sound good - last forever. Con's: flats loose some of the wider frequency range that rounds get with a Jazz - made my Sadowsky Jazz sound too much like my PJ - then again, made my Cort Jazz sound much better.

    Great tone, great playing, great gear. Flats and foam mute help.

    What strings are you using?

    I just thought it was me. . . . I don't like phones either!! I didn't know there were so many of us.

    I did my back again a few weeks ago and my last 3 gigs were done sitting on a bar stool. I'm not cancelling a gig unless I've died, and even then I'll try to find a way to do it.

    She was just seventeen, you know what I mean. A satisfying lack of pretentious arty-farty nonsense in this one.

    There are a lot of younger bass players in our local scene and most are very good, damn it!

    Cal Me Al is about a lot of stuff, as Paul Simon songs usually are, but the title came from a politician whose stock phrase was Call Me Al.

    Next big thing? I'd be interested if someone produced a Graphene Precision bass that weighed 2lbs.

    He is the guy who single-handedly changed bass playing forever.

    Jamerson, Babbitt, Duck Dunn and Nathan East. The sound of a bass. You can sound different but you won't sound better.

    They are, be grateful. . . . there's a guy over on Talkbass currently trying to find a way of fixing a TH500 that failed. Apparently Korg in the US is a complete shitshow with their current support of Aguilar products. I would imagine they are no better over here.

    Hey Lozz, could the Mbrace Stage Guitar Stand be an answer? https://www.imuso.co.uk/itm/mbrace-stage-guitar-stand

    Nice bass. I'm interested to see if our definitions of light match up. Weight please.

    I was out with my TH500 last night, through a BF Super Compact. Many compliments, sort of put paid to the myth that no one notices the bass! I haven't heard a TH700 in the flesh, but the TH500 is a fantastic sounding amp, easy to operate and way loud enough (through 2 BF 112's) even for my loudest band.
  22. chris_b
    Skip entry level, and several levels after that. My minimum would be a good 500-800 watt head and 2 good 112's. I use Aguilar amps and Barefaced cabs. They cover any genre and playing situation. They are light, loud, modular, great sounding and reliable.

    Hey @Shaggy. . . . that's exactly the rig I had. I started with a Mesa 400+ then went to an Ampeg SVT-3PRO. Fabulous sound and volume. I also looked at the 1516 but had to say no, I couldn't fit it into my car.
  24. chris_b
    I used a Mesa 210EV, 115EV stack for many years. That combination proved to me that mixing some cabs can work. I'd still be using it but for the fact that 2 x 90+ lbs cabs finally herniated a disk in my lower back! Be safe!!

    I guess they can do what they want, but some of the older bands, who are lucky enough to still be gigging, can lose sight of their audience. There is a thriving and well attended market for 60's artists but the audience is only there for one thing, a walk down memory lane.
