    As has already been stated, I very much doubt it would ever run out of steam, but the sound may not be for everyone. I actually much prefer the sound of the Super 12/Twin to the compact both on stage and out front. On stage I thought the compact was loud but not in a particularly nice way. Out front the comments were that it sounded great.

    I’d add REM’s Belong to Orange Crush too

    I know you’ve said you don’t like leather straps, but a standard width leather strap with an ‘unfinished’ underside usually does the trick. Enough friction to stop neck dive but won’t tear the shirt off your back!

    Not me unfortunately. Got a notification, opened it up but by the time I’d looked at the photos- ‘sorry, you missed out on this item’ 😟

    I share the same annoyance with thicker straps. I don’t like leaving them attached to the bass, but some of them are so thick that they can take up more room than a small amp when rolled up! I like the look of that one. I may write a letter to Santa. Many thanks 👍

    I've gave mine a tweak when I bought it and then more recently I've lowered the action again (and changed the string gauge) to get it bang on as to how I like my basses. To be honest I've never bought a bass (new or used) that hasn't needed a tweak to get it exactly how I like them. I think there's a thread on here discussing the fact that everyone has their own idea of a decent set up and 'factory spec setups' are often a million miles away from how many players would like them set.

    I’m just looking into these as I think they would tick several of my boxes. They look and sound great. Cracking review, many thanks.

    This would make an ideal Christmas present for someone who needs an affordable, loud and portable cab. 🎄 🎅 ⛄️

    This is the same as mine (other than your case is painted and mine is tolex covered). These are fantastic amps. More power than you should ever need, versatile and superb build quality. Even using it flat (graphic out) it gives a superb tone for you to tweak just using the tone controls on your bass. Although 30 plus years old, mine is still the quietest running amp I’ve ever owned. Whoever gets this will not be disappointed. GLWTS.

    They certainly are pretty special. I’m spending a lot of time playing mine now (after a momentary lapse of reason thinking I needed a HH) and the more I play it, the more I love it. As you say, the EQ is so useable throughout the range and to me seems far more controlled than the 3 band on a std ‘ray.

    Speaking of which, am I the only one who absolutely loves the bass sound on Video Killed The Radio Star?

    Best of luck with whichever musical path you choose to take in the future 👍 I stopped playing several times, for several years each time. I agree with the earlier post that keeping the motivation to play bass without a band can be a struggle. I’m currently taking a forced sabbatical from playing in a band due to family reasons, but on this occasion I’m using the limited time I do still have available to study and practice, going back to re-educate myself on playing so that when I do eventually get back to playing with the band, I’ll be a better player.

    +1 to this. Many of the examples of this practice that I’ve heard have been truly horrific (Roy Orbison ‘I drove all night’ springs to mind). To make it worthwhile they have to make it sufficiently different to the original, but in making it sufficiently different the additions just sounds clumsy to my ears.

    Love Madness and was ‘mad’ on them when I was a kid. I’m pretty sure those high in the mix basslines were partly responsible for planting the love of bass in my head.

    Many thanks for the podcasts guys, really enjoyed them. The Wal discussion has ramped my gas for another up to dangerous levels 😍

    I used to be quite partial to Lion bars........ Does this constitute a breach of BC's 'No Trade Offers' law???
  17. Deedee
    Some interesting offers but currently still available. May now be interested in trading up for a Wal Mk1 Custom, 4 string, fretted (plus cash your way obviously) if anyone has one going.

    ...... and very soon after selling an amp to Emmett, I bought his old amp off him 😁 Faultless transaction yet again. Many thanks

    Sold a bass to Shaun. Great communication throughout, prompt payment and a thoroughly nice chap to boot. Trade with absolute confidence 👍
  20. Deedee
    Same here. I appreciate how technically advanced a player may be, but 99% of the songs those players choose to parade their skills in are (to me at least) unbearable. Same with some guitarists. Other than a couple of exceptions Steve Vai or Joe Satriani tunes do absolutely nothing for me. Some of the greatest songs ever written have very simple basslines that fit the song perfectly. To me (cue the lynch mob and pitchforks) bass is best when it is in its supporting role. That doesn’t mean it needs to be basic, but it doesn’t mean it should be over complicated just for the sake of it either.

    Bought a cab from Chris. Great communication throughout, cab arrived promptly, superbly packaged and in pristine condition. Trade with confidence. Many thanks again

    Great looking bass. I had the same done to one of my Stingray necks a couple of years ago at considerable expense (as I imagine yours was too). Looked stunning and felt lovely. GLWTS

    Withdrawn Many thanks

    Ashdown 4 x 10 – 4 Ohm - £220 Now £200 collected or will now ship £240 to mainland UK only Bought this cab from Lozz earlier in the year but I’m not going to be gigging for the foreseeable so unfortunately it’s got to go. It’s an Ashdown RM-414-EVO but with the speakers upgraded to Eminence Betas (fitted by Ashdown). A poor mans BF Four10, this is a great value cab for someone who needs something low cost, portable yet very loud 4 ohm 4 x 250 watt Eminence Beta speakers 604 wide x 335 deep x 604 high (672 inc castors) Approximately 26kg Black Roqsolid cover Castors fitted for easy transportation, the shallow depth and sturdy side handles make it an easy load in/out for car boots. It really is in excellent condition. As you can see in the pics it has matting on the top to stop any Class D heads taking off! Collection from South Yorkshire or will now ship to mainland UK buyers only (£40 insured)

    Many thanks Bassbod. Sounds about right as everything is 'floating' above the floor of the case until you get to the back plate.
