I once had a drunk chick, slim with requisite bumps, squat in front of me and put one leg back between mine so she could weasel up behind my bass while I am playing and 'dance' there. Talk about distracting!!!!

Snap.

There's a couple of neo 12 GK spares.

Not on your list: Quilter BassBlock. In the vein of overdriven tube amps, the variable master output level lets the input gain control act as an overdrive / quasi compressor. The difference to tube amps is the effect is available at all output levels not just balls out. Old Kiwi made Jansen solid state amps do the same trick.

It's a CYA exercise. There was a big discussion on Talkbass about it. As I recall it boiled down to: The law only applies in California. Californians would have been unable to buy anything that hadn't passed muster. That didn't go down too well so they let out of state manufacturers have the disclaimers which of course had the Californian manufacturers crying foul so in the end the law became fully toothless.

Everything I ever got from Parts Express came with a Prop65 disclaimer. None of it is dangerous when used in the normal way.

Simple roughneck solution, send your fx send to a mini crossover and put all your low end out via the PA sub.

The only EQ pedal I can recall that has 10 is the MXR.

A product like what? We're talking about amps made like amps always have been made.

Seems like overkill? If I read it right the (monitor) light rig is the combo for when you leave the bigboy bass rig in the car and run with the full PA?

I think it's just way too expensive to prove there is harmless levels of residues to the satisfaction of the Californian gummint. A bit of extra ink on the label keeps everyone safe from lawsuits. What's a mystery to me is how come no Californian has sued the gummint for exposing them to all the toxins building up in warehouses and shops.

It's not that it can't work. It's just a lot of work to find out by trial and error and the odds aren't great. What's the smallest GK combo that uses your driver? If that size works for you, trial back on...

Is it the same driver as the (newer) 150MB combo, favoured by upright bassists? I'm picking from the size of the box it could only be sealed, but even if it isn't it surely is small. Borrow one, uncouple your amp from your cab, use yours as the extension to the MB. If that all works out you can copy the MB cab dimensions.

I don't believe so.

Assuming it's the same driver, if you copy the other cab you won't have any issues. General rule of thumb is ported plus sealed is the least likely combination to work well together.

Which ones fit Fender lock buttons these days?

I can't believe Ebay haven't taken the lead from TradeMe on the last second thing. On TM if a bid comes in with less than 2 minutes to close another 2 minutes is added, and added, and added... You are getting the 2nd best price most of the time. There is no advantage to sniping the following 2 minute extensions. 2 minutes is just about long enough for an outbid person to get the email ping and log back into TB for another dab. So I often snipe the original closing in case they might be a bit slow to react. Most people aren't quite as disciplined as Ped.

Maybe I'm the weirdo or maybe it's you, but I often ask about stuff before I get onto bidding / buying. If I get a half arsed answer I am less likely to pursue it!

Single in-ear is a no, hell no, not happening thing. Your brain can't process disparate volumes and you crank up the monitor to hear it while all the racket has full access to the other ear. I am guessing you aren't using any earplugs as yet? I recommend the comfy foam tipped metal ones from flareaudio.com in UK. Damping down everything makes it easier to hear everything way better, including myself. Might be all you need. If that's not enough I would tend toward a practice amp with a tuner out that you could put on the floor at your feet laying right back. Tuner out goes to stage amp. Turning its bass right down it will get loud enough to hear what note you are playing, with minimal interruption to life in general. Plop down, plug in power and string cable back to stage amp. Sound check is plucking an open D and bringing it up with your fretting hand. You should be ready before the drummer has shifted the kit into place.

Must be too rich for most basses.

There must surely be a market for a courier outfit that does what it says when it says it will, all without throwing the boxes around.

If it's anything like NZ's it has real teeth that are easily brought to bear. You only have to mention you know your rights under sale of goods act and they will cave. They have a schedule for expected lifespan on durable goods. TV's and fridges are something like 5 years trouble free operation regardless of the 2 year warranty. 9/10 they will give you a new one to get you out of their hair.

A BassBlock is pretty much just a small power amp with limited added preamp features at no extra cost. Properly safety rated micro power amps are slim pickings.

The kind of job where a bit of fear is good.
