Yeah I agree I do think Class d amps are pretty great when you factor in everything, cost, portability etc. I would absolutely love to own an ampeg v4b but I live in a 1 bedroom flat and already struggle with not having enough space, so having a tonehammer head which fits into my bass case is a huge plus for me.

I had an issue with my previous amplifier which was mark bass and ran into the problem mentioned above, they don't release the circuit diagrams, meaning at the time the company who would fix it were in West London and I was in Bristol with no working amp and a gig the following day. I got lucky and a local chap managed to fix it for me, but I was really annoyed by it and replaced it 6 months or so later. I do use a class D amp though (aguilar th) have had it for eight years and this one has never let me down and I love it!

I have a 55-02 and i think it's fairly light, though my other gigging bass is a 70's fender, so take that with a pinch of salt! I'll try and weigh it, they definitely vary a lot though as I played 3 or 4 other skyline 5 strings when getting mine and mine was the lightest by a long way.

I'm currently heading home from a visit to andertons, accompanied by a new sire v5. I hadn't played a sire before today, and took time to try all the models they had in the shop. I'm not a fan of active stuff particularly, but I did think all the ones I tried were good. However in my opinion the passive basses, the d5, p5 and v5 are all exceptional. I nearly bought the p5 they had as well! The active models seemed a fair bit heavier to me, but all the passive ones, particularly the v5 I chose is very lightweight. Even the hardware seems to be of good quality now, which I recall reading wasn't the case with the first generation ones. For anyone looking for a passive jazz or precision for that budget, I highly recommend them.

To be honest while it can be clunky sometimes, I prefer shopping with bass direct than most other shops online. Their inventory is more up to date than most other shops. I once shopped online with pmt, choosing them because it said in stock and would arrive when I needed it too, only to be told after 48 hours when I called them that it was out of stock and they didn't know when it would be again! I got some cabs from bass direct a month ago and thought they provided great customer service

***Item on hold*** Hello For sale is my Epifani UL115, I have had this cabinet for the last five years or so and prior to covid I used it regularly. It is a fine cab, and even with just my Tonehammer 500 it puts out serious volume, I used it on some large stages and it was always great. I have recently upgraded to a pair of Bergantino 1x12's and so have decided to sell this as I live in a flat in London, and just can't store something I wouldn't use regularly. There is a fault with the cab, the dial on the back for the tweeter is extremely stiff and won't turn. I basically turned it to the off position five years ago and haven't touched it until just now when I went to test it. I assume the tweeter itself is fine, and is just a problem with the dial on the back panel, but I have no idea unfortunately. I have priced this accordingly I believe. The cab is in central London, I am happy to deliver in London, or meet near the m25 or other motorway but would rather not post this at the moment. I am happy to meet in a couple of weeks time when I drive down to Somerset too if that makes things any easier. Thanks for looking!

If I'm around I'd love to come down, recently moved to London and I don't know many people here yet!

Yeah one band I tour a lot with uses one, I think he has it in a rack with a splitter for when there's already foh crew who want to bypass the xr18. But we've used it for foh ourselves at gigs as well as just monitoring and it is great. The app, which I think is either free or about a quid is great ( on android) I think we got a router too to upgrade the wifi signal but still all in, so affordable for what it can do.

I've been a full time musician since I left Uni 7 years ago. Did my last gig middle of March, got a temp job at tesco telling people to stay 2 metres apart etc. Got a permanent job last month as a delivery driver for sainsburys, which to be fair is about 85% the same as being a touring musician, sat in a van all day, desperate for a wee, listening to podcasts.
