    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

    Three in the bed, nothing said

    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

    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? 🙂

    I have been using a BDI21 but decided that I'd like something with a bit more control so I've just bought myself an MXR M81

    I remember when Bassist had transcribed "I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down". That absolutely blew my mind when I learned how to play that. The whole song is great but it's all about that ending. It's slightly different and longer on the live versions on Youtube

    I've been here nearly 12 years and in that time I have blocked 4 members - 2 of which don't frequent the forum anymore. Considering that there are thousands of members, that's pretty good going. I've been on the receiving end of trolls and do-gooders and they can go and do one AFAIC. I used to allow myself to get annoyed when someone said something designed to gain a reaction to start an argument or do-gooders who think that they are protecting the streets of bass land but now I figuratively walk away. The reasons being that I am sure the vast majority of us are decent people, things can be read differently to the poster's intended meaning and I'm sure that some of these people wouldn't say these things if face to face. I like it here. Overall it's a good place to be and I won't let a small minority of argument starters spoil it

    Although I say so myself this would be a perfect ready to gig mini rig for you

    So it's a choice of grindy and aggressive or fat wooly fingerstyle then? That's where I've been going wrong. Being a fingers player it must sound like complete mush. 🤔 Personally I favour aggressive punchy fingerstyle. I actually find it very comfortable to play and can play anything on this that I can play on my Sterling and never thought about it as a specialist instrument.

    I wasn't familiar with many of the bands on that list, let alone the players, but the obvious omission for me was Gail Ann Dorsey
  22. Delberthot
    I had one of those and the way it sat on a strap the first 2 frets may as well have been in the next room such was the reach required to get to them

    After deciding to go down the FRFR route and being happy with the outcome it's now time to sell my flawless, dinky combo. The cab is 8ohms and 250w. That even surprised me to be honest as I have been using it with a Gallien Krueger MB500 and it can go incredibly loud for its size. These replaced a Fender Rumble 500 combo to give you an idea of what I was looking for when I bought them. I've had the cab since August 2016 and specified the optional top hat mount so that this can be mounted onto any speaker stand with a 38mm pole. I initially used it with an MB200 but didn't that amp had enough oomph so went for the more powerful MB500 and I think I bought this around October 2016. It has been stored since the day I bought it in a cajon bag to protect it as anyone who knows me knows that I hate my to gear scruffy and damaged. It has picked up a couple of marks on the tolex but it's in very good condition and has never let me down. If you look at of couple of the pics further down it looks like the pictures are sideways but they are actually demonstrating the ultra high bond tape that I have used to attach it to the cab. The beauty of this setup is that the combined weight of cab and amp is less than 10kg so it's an easy one handed lift and part of the reason I bought it. This in one hand, bass in the other and bag over your shoulder for cables etc. I would initially like to sell both of them together and will include the cajon bag and short speakon cable as well as the footswitch for the MB500 which I haven't taken out of the box and of course the power cable. Delivery to UK mainland will be around the £15 mark + insurance

    the lower horn looks like a wang I doubt that you'd have been able to pay a deposit to a national/regional distributor - I would think that you'd have to wait until the distributor finds out if they are getting them or not, then contacts all of the UK dealers with the info if they are and choose your dealer to pay the deposit

    Used mine last night and I absolutely love it. In fact, the whole band commented on how much they enjoyed it. I've had my GK/BF set up so that it is for me to hear meaning that the rest of the band have had to have a monitor mix with my bass in it whereas the sound from this carries across the stage but isn't too loud. Possibly the first time that I have set my volume at the start of a gig and hadn't touched it during the night. Need to check my subscription but the GK/BF rig will be up for sale alter on today
