Bummer. But to be really honest mate, you only need one, seriously. I used the BB-750 with one Mesa 4x10 a few times and got noise complaints from Cape Town

I might be wrong, and it might be the unusualness of the PUP configuration, but even the bass side looks much closer to the neck than bridge that is the case with standard P-PUP placing?

So you’d entrust a dream Mesa rig to me. When do I start?

Casters pop out. It’s Mesa

Nearly every violin in eBay has marking suggesting it’s 400 years old. Sorry

Everyone like Yellow Submarine

Reminds me of the classic Steve Coogan...... ”What’s your favourite Beatles album?” ””The Best of the Beatles”

There are so many albums that to me are nothing more than the emperor’s invisible clothes. People in the know have suggested that I ‘try’ to like them. My Mum used to say the same about spam, suet pudding and homework. I rest my case

Blue?

If you don’t stack them vertically I will follow you to every gig and do it for you

This thread should be locked immediately on the basis of the undeniable levels of heresy being spoken. Basses sounding the same, look of bass being more important.....

You will

Sacrilege But true

I stand corrected

You won't get one in the right position for the P-PUP, not without removing the 'ray PUP anyway. Having said that, I've a '70s Japanese Precision with two P-PUPs, neither of which are in the classic Fender-P position, and it still sounds a lot like a Precision to me

I would swap out the pre-amp for a model with sweepable mids, such as the John East unit (which by the way really calms what can often be a quite brittle top end on the 3-band 'rays), and allows you to really emphasise the low mids. It won;t be 100% P-Bass by any means but a whole lot closer than you'll get with the current pre-amp I believe. The other option of course is to use your amp to do the same thing, but in my experience, it's often a less satisfactory approach, and you'd need an amp with a similar sweepable EQ to find the tone that's in your head. Here's the link, for £157 it is a game-changer for a 'ray, seriously https://www.east-uk.com/index.php/bass/mmsr-4-knob-3-band.html

The Trads looks so much better than the (old) Standards

If they're on those lovely Mesa wheels, just don't get them on an incline, they have a life of their own

Jeez mate, that's a lot of cab. Think yourself lucky they're the Traditional Powerhouse, which are slightly shallower and lighter than the Standard Powerhouse which are massive (I sold my Standard 4x10 to a USA bassist touring Europe and he asked whether I though he'd need two to get decent volume on stage; I said I'm not sure he even needed one, the Standard 2x10 is enough for most applications). That is a monster rig you have there. I'm guessing as I only live 100 or so miles away if I open the windows I'll probably hear you. Can you do Seven Nation Army so I can check it's you?

Some flight cases or even rack cases seem to have the handles in a place that helps, others in a place that hinders. What I love about the SVT-II are the two handles on the front panel that make it really easy to life in and out of a car boot.

I use my un-racked/cased in part for this reason, in part because it looks better un-racked, and in part because the shock-mount case I have adds over 10kg to the weight, and given the already serious weight of this thing, those 10kgs make a difference. Given we're going to be gigging a lot more this year, with increased risk of it getting damaged, I'd like to find a good ventilated case for it, even if it needs to be 6u to get decent air flow around the case. Very keen to hear the experience and advice of others? Thanks Chris
