    Enhanced pic from our gig on Saturday: Warwick star bass fretless > tuner> jhs pulp n peel comp> house peavey 300w 15" combo. Rattly, mid Focussed and loud enough on the small stage but pa support was massive adding the required weight for the ska and reggae set. Katana perched on top for the guitarist sounded good too.

    First gig with the first wave ska band the Long Shots supporting ska punk band Rudebeard. Pretty decent turn out considering the trains were off after the storm. We played pretty well for a debut, lots of really positive comments. Played my Warwick star bass fretless through the rattly house peavey combo, but the sound guy did a great job. This was my first proper gig for over 12 years so pleased it went so well.

    That's super nice!

    Argh, hate choosing band names. We've been offered our first gig but we need a name sharpish. They've all been terrible.

    Just discussed doing a ska version of Cissy Strut (Cissy Skank?) so going to dust that off.

    Should say I'm now sorted for amps so back to straight sale if possible. Unless you have some compact Spendor, Neat or Amphion hifi speakers?

    Yep, dobly atmos, underdubbed and stereo.

    Yes tidal is a definite step up in sound quality and from April they're making their hi res content available as part of the normal pricing tier rather than a more expensive tier. I tried qobuz but the step up in quality didn't justify the added cost imo. Spotify are also the worst at payouts to artists I believe.

    I've got D'Addario tapes on my Warwick star bass. The fit is very tight, the silks start halfway through the nut, but they sound and feel great.

    I recently got a 32" Warwick star bass, it feels just right for my hands. It's a perfect middle ground between 34" and short scale.

    Oh that's a shame. I quite fancied trying one of these. I've got a short scale ashdown Jazz, the pickups on that are excellent.

    Os Mutantes are excellent and really push the psychedelic angle. Also the sole album by Arthur Verocai is brilliant. Some really creative arrangements.

    Could someone with the 500w head measure the distance between feet. Just checking it would fit on a BF one10 horizontally. Thanks!

    The definitely get something that's going to bring you joy! That sounds draining and you deserve a treat.

    No advice on the Fender shaped medium scale, but just a note of support. I was in a similar situation with a supportive partner and a small inheritance... I got a Warwick star bass and (once I got used to how it sits on the strap) it's been amazing. The 32" scale works better than 30, it just fits my hand perfectly.

    We get that from them quite a lot and we live on a main road with parking outside. It's usually that the driver ran out of time in their round. I just avoid Evri as far as possible. Sometimes they've claimed they've delivered an item and it's later turned up at a completely different house or just lost.

    Really nice guitar amp for home practice. 20w 10inch speaker. It has switchable valve emulation which is kind of interesting. Good range of tones. Full specs here https://blackstaramps.com/silverline/ Home use only so in great condition. Have original box so can post at cost.
