  1. That reeks of privilege 😁
  2. Chocs will eat anything 🤔
  3. Yes, never seen a reason to change and I like that it’s easy access across all mine and my family’s devices. As per @ped post I like the album model
  4. There is a visceral response to high SPLs and the lower the frequency the greater the response, so yes, big bass cabs on stage have a real effect. But I doubt there's any longer a case for saying you can't get the same tone via other means, both sides of the equation - signal processing and amplification - have just moved on so much. And that's ignoring the negative effects of high SPLs
  5. Yep, fair point 👍
  6. Are you also using ear protection?
  7. Exactly 👍
  8. Not sure an 8x10 is a good idea in either a rehearsal room or studio
  9. Large cabs are getting like pianos which you petty much can't give them away. Audio technology has moved on a hell of a lot and most gigging bassists without roadies just don't need the hassle of large cabs. Good time to buy one
  10. I'm going to leave this here for the weekend and then probably keep it. In all seriousness you will not find this gear at easier terms so speak now or forever hold your peace
  11. Absolutely, £30 return if you shop around, you get to visit Margate which is a very nice place (these days), and to meet one of Kent's premier bassists. What's not to like about that 🤔 Hurry up or I'll buy it
  12. I think one of those two used to be mine! Either way, the absolute king of stage amps, nothing sounds - or feels - quite like it. The reference point for all other amps in my opinion. If you haven't owned one and had the pleasure of watching your guitarist's jaw drop at the sheer visceral power, I'd recommend it as a true bass player's bucket list entry 👍

  14. I certainly wouldn't risk it
  15. I can't escape the sense that when we discuss online retailers we want them to be more like high street music shops, and when we discuss high street shops we want them to be more like online retailers. I've had probably 18 really good experiences with Bass Direct and two bad ones, and reflecting on this thread it's the two bad ones that probably stick in people's mind.
  16. Keep me posted mate 👍
  17. Would be happy to consider trade for high quality bass or high quality amplification, some electric gigs coming up 👍
  18. I'm out as soon as anyone uses the P word
  19. Like Simon & Garfunkle reuniting without Simon
  20. @walshy is your friend still doing collections/delivery and does he ever come down south do you know? Hope all's well mate 👍
  21. Made me laugh
  22. If I could afford to own a Wal I wouldn't need to gig the Dog and Duck on free beer night 👍
