I vote you go for it - if nothing else, it'll make a good story!

GREAT photos - I can smell the sweat from here!

Jealous! +1 for starting with the manual - it's worth understanding how the character knob works. My favoutite setting (on the non-programmable version) is Drive & character - 9 o'clock Low & High - 2 o'clock Mid - 12 o'clock It's called something like 'Warm tube' or 'Fat Compression' in the manual - lovely old-skool thumpy sound, great for jazz, motown and reggae. It also does roaring Ampeg SVT sounds if you want them. Enjoy!

This is the Basschat motto.

I bought Dave's Markbass Nano 300 - good unit at a good price, good comms, deal with confidence.

Pete bought my mic stand - great comms, quick payment AND he bought me a pint for my troubles. 11/10 Top basschatting.

So sorry for your loss. Words fail, sending all my love to you and yours.

There's one on Marketplace. Not mine I hasten to add!

Markbass stuff is really good - I'm taking delivery of a Nanomark tomorrow, I'll let you know how good it is!

Hello from a fellow big band Bassist!

I think we all need to be a bit more well tempered...

Do exactly what the client/producer asks you to and tune up before every take.

I want one.

Play them! I've got a couple more than I 'need' but they all get played - I rotate them and find myself thinking "This is a lovely Bass, I should play this more often" whenever I play any of them!

I hate Russian Dolls - so full of themselves.

I went for the Markbass Nano 300 - I like MB stuff, there was one on here for a good price and it's louder than I need so it could find a place in a bigger setup somewhere down the line. Cheers for all the input.

I bought Marks Barefaced One10 - good communications, great cab, lovely bloke. Top marks!

Are they any good for upright?

It looks like I'll be getting a Barefaced 110 (because GAS) to replace my Minimark 802 so I'm looking for recommendations for a small head to go with it. I'll be using it for jazz rehearsals/gigs on upright and electric and onstage monitor (with PA support and IEMs) for loud pop/rock stuff on 5 string electric. Is the BF110 loud enough for this? Is it any good for 5 string? I like Markbass stuff, so I'm looking at their heads, just wondering if there's anything else I should know about? Are the TE Elves/Warwick Gnomes any good for upright? I use a Fishman Platinum for upright, should I plug into the FX return? Is the Aguilar Tonehammer as good as I think it is? Half considering getting a TH500, then also getting a bigger Barefaced down the line to replace my MB CMD 121P. All and any input welcome.
