    We had that one night at a pub gig a few years ago - turns out that their friend was Michelle McManus who was out for the night. I detest these talent shows on telly with a passion so I was even more determined not to let her sing. Plus considering that we were a rock band bordering on punk I couldn't really imagine her singing Blitzkreig Bop

    Pants pedal eh? Does that attach to the waistband to allow you to make changes on the fly? Sorry wrong thread

    I'm not so sure about the 70s and 80s as being the predominant decades for bass. Remember in the 90s we had the Chilis, Primus, Faith No More, Jamiroquai, Blur, Supergrass, Fugazi and many others which featured a lot of up front bass

    This is exactly what I feel about the music that I play in my band. There's not a single song that I'd actively listen to but I enjoy playing them with the clear exception of Valerie which I'd happily never play again but they still want us to play it so it's only a couple of minutes out of what is usually a great gig

    I've been using the 7250M strings which are the 45-105 gauge and they are for all intents and purposes D'addario EXL165s. They may or may not be exactly the same but are made by D'addario and have coloured (albeit different colours) ball ends.

    If we were auditioning a new member and they told us that they hadn't learned the songs that we'd asked for then that would be the end of the audition. If it's a covers band then you will need to learn covers unless I am misunderstanding what you have said?

    I'm a fan of Abe Sr but I thought that the melody sounded out of tune a lot of the time and I had to stop listening. Shame because it's a really nice sounding bass

    You could plug your bass into the input of the LS-2 and the output to the QSC. Preamp 1 would be in loop 1 and preamp 2 would be in loop 2. Set the mode to A<->B and you can go between the two. Alternatively go bass - preamp1 - preamp2 - QSC and switch them on and off as necessary. This may give you a completely different sound running them one after the other rather than 1 or the other despite one being off and the other being on

    I have an EQ pedal so that I can both bring the level of the Sterling down to that of the Rickenbacker and be able to adjust the EQ keeping my main preamp pedal set on the one setting. I think that it would only be if I needed mild overdrive etc that I would need more than this but the EQ pedal does what I need and keeps it simple

    Clarky bought my GK 500MB & Barefaced One10. Couldn't have been more straight forward. Nice easy transaction and money changed hands in return for goods 😀

    I did replace them. I didn't have a round file the correct size so I used a drill bit wrapped in sandpaper to carefully enlarge the holes (by hand, not actually using a drill as that would have ended in tears). The nut that screws into the tuner on the D string does get very close to the truss rod cover but there is plenty of room to tighten it. The other thing is that the Rick headstock is on the absolute limit of thickness for actually being able to tighten the big top nut onto the tuner. In the end I screwed the tuner onto the headstock before I tightened the nut to make sure that the tuner was as tight against the back of the headstock as it could get. Weight wise it was only something like 93g of a difference but it did help to balance the neck out. I used the Y head tuners rather than the clover leaf ones as they were lighter. They're fitted to the 4004 models so I knew that they'd look ok. I used this seller and they arrived pretty quickly. The tuners are more satin than shiny chrome. Still contemplating getting a d-tuner

    I don't know what it is but whenever I see p&j pickups with exposed poles on a bass that isn't a p or a j then they always look cheap to me

    Keep out of the black and in the red, you get nothing in this game for two in a bed

    There are some who have used the MB200 with this cab and been happy with it but I felt that I was driving the amp too hard so changed to the MB500 and it was the perfect combination for me
  17. Delberthot
    I've just sold mine - I had the MB500 & One10 I think that they work perfectly together. I've always loved the GK sound and although the small head doesn't sound exactly like the 700RB it is very close. The One10 astounded me at every gig knowing that such a huge sound was coming from such a small cab. At the end of the day it's still only a single 10" speaker but it was very loud for what it was. I can't advise you on the Markbass stuff unfortunately. I tried it a few years ago and maybe because I was more into the GK sound I felt that compared to GK the Markbass was very disappointing and soulless

    I've never had any dealings with them personally did you check to see if they were they actually open for business? Some firms don't go back to work until tomorrow after the holidays and even the ones that have just gone back may have a huge backlog of messages waiting to clear. I considered myself lucky to get QSC between Christmas & New Year. A quick browse brought these up and there's also a Talkbs thread here with suggestions

    I've had a few enquiries about just the cab or just the amp on their own so I may as well have prices for those as well: £620 gets you the One10 with the optional vintage cloth grill & top hat insert, GK MB500 with power cable, footswitch, high quality speakon cable and Sela cajon bag - this can take a shoulder strap but I've never used it and don't know where it is, I also imagine that it would be uncomfortable to carry as well this way = an extra £45ish worth of extras over the separate prices £320 is the price for the One10 on its own supplied in its original box £300 would be the price for the MB500 with power cable and footswitch, again in its original box These prices are all collected. Postage to UK mainland would be £15 for the whole package, £15 for just the cab and surprisingly £15 for just the amp which I am guessing is due to the size of the box Personally, the whole package makes the most sense if you are changing your entire rig as all you need are your bass & an instrument cable and you're ready to go

    I've always began with the G then down to the D and beyond. I suppose if I thought about it the D then the G usually have the highest tension of all with the E usually the lowest so if the neck is going to move however slightly then it will have done so by the time I get down to the E rather than tune the E and have it go slightly out when I tune the higher strings. It sounds right in my head so must be correct I always restring the G first then the D, A & E as well

    Can someone go and get more LOL emojis made up please? I think rollie 55 has used the last of them. Here, have one of mine

    Anyone who feels like they're about to lose their stinky poo when someone types "could of" or begins a sentence or thread title with "So" - just let it wash over you. It will soon pass and you can work on getting annoyed at something else

    similarly - you're all a bunch of nasty pasties 😀 And what in the name of Jesus H Corbett is a nasty pasty? 🙂
