Aaaaaggggghhhhh! OMG a post out of context! Quickly someone, check all the other threads to make sure it doesn't happen again.

[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1455271977' post='2977613'] It's nothing to do with down sizing, volume knob job done. [/quote] You can play around with the volume knob to your heart's content, but it won't make an Ampeg 410 any lighter or physically smaller. Reducing audible volume does not reduce physical volume to make it more practical for smaller venues.

I'm down to 2. I only really use one of them though.

Join a band. It does 2 things. Firstly it ups your playing. Secondly, you realise that you aren't crap at all and that all the people you thought would be brilliant are at best average

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1455095550' post='2975734'] Yes, I'm ordering one today. [/quote] What's wrong with the box it came in?

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1455103527' post='2975839'] the headstock though [/quote] It's not great, but then neither are the headstocks on Sadowsky's, Fodera's, D Lakin, G&L's and others ( all of which cost more as well).

A Zoom B1on. That's all I use at home. If you don't mind using headphones it's got everything you need really. If I were looking at a practice combo, that's easy, a Fender Rumble (just pick the size to suit need). They are lovely sounding combos with good features.

Leave the knobs alone, it'll only end in embarrassment

I actually use a black plastic toolbox I bought cheap from Lidl. It's got my 2 Hercules mini stands in the bottom, all my leads a cables I use and emergency kit (screwdrivers, pliers, batteries and other stuff)

You might find a second hand/older model, however, the only Attitude that Yamaha make now is Sheehan's signature model.

Yes they do, although I suspect it depends on what level of pro/touring player. It probably explains why boutique gear is rarely seen on stages.

I leave all this kind of thing to our road crew

It really depends on your budget, and what sort of music you'd be playing...you don't want to be struggling to be heard obviously. If you've got a good budget then I'd be looking at one of the lightweight 212 cabs from say Bergantino, TKS, Barefaced etc combined with a lightweight head. If however you're a bit more money conscious (like me ), then for a lightweight combo that doesn't cost a lot either it's hard to beat the Fender Rumble 500 v3. Lovely tone, holds its own volume wise in all but the loudest bands, even then you can add another cab and blow your bandmates through buildings. Great little combos...

It's definitely for the seller to refund the buyer and then the seller to seek compensation from the courier.

I sold a Yamaha bass to David. Excellent communications and a pleasure to deal with. I wouldn't hesitate to deal with David again. Cheers

[quote name='Rich' timestamp='1454152337' post='2966937'] Nice plug, but you're going to have to say it louder if you want any prezzies [/quote] IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW [quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1454152382' post='2966938'] Me too haha! 65 tomorrow Happy birthday Marvin [/quote] Happy birthday to you to for tomorrow. Quality people born on 31st you see

I see the over 50's have just got out of bed, now nearly neck and neck with the 40-50's.

A day from now I'll be a year older.

My basses are cool, that's all anyone needs to know

I had one of those 'health checks' a couple of months back and although I'm approaching 43 I've got the metabolism of a 24 year old....and no, he's not having his metabolism back.

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1454011440' post='2965467'] They had Salmon Dave play there back in the 60s [/quote] Quite the plaice to play then.

[quote name='lee4' timestamp='1454009169' post='2965424'] I will be 47 this year,and I am the oldest in the band,but also the most immature! [/quote] I found that most of the young people I've been in bands with just aren't immature enough...they're so serious

[quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1453975569' post='2964762'] Yep Me too - if it gets cancelled I'm now blaming you! [/quote] Perhaps I shouldn't have said anything
