I think it's unlikely within my band. It's become a running joke that our drummist will ask at every rehearsal/gig "is that a new bass?". No, it's the same one I've been using for the last six months...

Another Night - Real McCoy

Would that not tread on the toes of the ABM range to do that?

You could do a lot worse than a Trace Elliot Elf.

I bet it does a fuzz tone well

Do it! 😁

It has a big but simple display, which works well for a big but simple bloke like myself.

I toyed with a few practice combos when I had some student loan money burning a hole in my bank account, including a Laney kickback combo and very nearly a tiny SWR thing (possibly a Workingman's 10?), but once I tried the Boxer 65 that did it for me. Sadly had to say goodbye to it this year after 25 years to free up space, but I'm happy to still have a Trace amp in my collection in the shape of my Elf head.

I use a Donner DT Deluxe (not sure there's anything particularly "deluxe about it though...) because it was cheap and does the job.

Another convert here. When I was looking for my first post-Marshall Super Bass amp (sob) I never really considered them and thought I should by an Ampeg because that's what bass players do. Then @merton lent me his ABM500 and I never looked back. When it failed on me on stage (it was quite old, mind) Dave at Ashdown was really friendly to speak to about what the problem might be. Now I'm loving my ABM600, albeit my little Elf might give it some competition for smaller gigs!

Badum tish!

I'm also torn between a P and a Sire J-style. I've been using my V7 for rehearsals and gigs for about the last six months, but using my P for home practice. I need to get the P back out into the wild again. When (if) I follow through with my plan to get a Sadowsky MX at Christmas, replacing the V7, I can see the P getting pushed to one side again so I should probably get on it!

Go get it! Maybe you can assuage Mrs msb by suggesting you may sell one of your other cabs to make room. I'm not saying you actually do sell one, just that you suggest you might...

Hanging on the Telephone - Blondie

Sometimes even singing in key sounds pretty bad. Watching some of GNR at Glastonbury made me think they could definitely do with transposing down a bit to spare us from Axl's falsetto.

Lobster has done a full review now and they sound niiiiice!

Ah, the Duck Dunn brigade

Instrument cables: A. Speaker and power cables (both <1m long) I just fold in two until it reaches a point I can fit it in my bag.

It sounds killer in both positions, I don't think I've played it enough to have a clear favourite yet.

I have a relatively small gig next weekend (cricket club) and am very tempted to use it there.
