This was a cracker I briefly owned [URL=http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Various%20Basses%20on%20the%20Couch/DSC04631Large.jpg.html][IMG]http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad111/Delberthot/Various%20Basses%20on%20the%20Couch/DSC04631Large.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

I think that the reason most of us have gone for the combo is that it's a lightweight, loud, one box solution and possibly because it only costs £75 more to have the combo over the head. If you want flexibility, which is what the OP has gone for, then this is the way to do it. All of the controls and inputs/outputs are the same. The cab has indentations to take the feet of the head on the top of the cab to hold it in place so they're redundant now as they are effectively on the side of the cab the way the OP has sat it on top of the 4x10".

I have no idea how I remember songs. In fact during a song that is new to me or I haven't done in a while I sometimes have no idea what comes next then suddenly my fingers are in the right place. I can't remember the last time I read a piece of music, tab looks wrong to me and I have no idea what scales are.

Unfortunately the Proclaimers aren't one hit wonders. There's a whole raft of novelty songs out there that they did including Sunshine on Leith, Let's Get Married and too many more to mention Survivor - Eye of the Tiger Boston - More Than A Feeling Kansas - Carry on Wayward Son http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6bQ4EAduBg

The first word of the title of the auction needs a 'd' at the end of it

With the Bongo I can just plug in and play and it tanks through. Playing finger style with the EQ turned up can turn it into a percussion instrument if I'm not careful. [/quote] I think that the difference is that it's really difficult to get a bad sound with the MM preamp. I used to struggle with my Ibanez SR1016 and eventually sold it because I was constantly fiddling with it to try to get it to sound right to my ears

I think that we'd be lucky if there are a handful of forum members who actually have found the one and will still have it in a year or maybe even less. There have been threads in the past that many members including yours truly have posted in stating that we've found "the one". If you can find the threads I can almost guarantee that most of them are sold. For me it's just a tool, plus I like shiny, I want to like certain basses so may have had 10 of them over the past 28 years just to be sure, I've bought some because my favourite player at the time has used one, it looks nice, and so on. I've had 9 4-string Stingrays and am on SR5 number 5 for example. I will never find the one and the closer I think I get, the more I don't actually know what I want and what I have is good enough for what I want it to be able to do.

Is it the EQ or the pickup configuration that you you think contributes most to the sound you like? I don't like vast EQs either as the tendency is to keep fiddling and never being happy but there are loads of basses with this pickup configuration including Stingrays - G&L, $$ Warwicks etc are the first two that spring to mind that I have owned

When I first started listening to it I thought that it sounded like Stanley Clarke then noticed that it was. I'm not a fan of Marcus and his style at all. I really, really wanted to like him as he always looks cool but does nothing for me.

I use ER20s as they reduce the high frequencies more. I have aspergers so am more sensitive to higher frequencies. The proper ones that reduce the levels across the board don't help me as it's the high frequencies that cause me the most discomfort. I don't play with a loud drummer and play with a great guitarist who knows what volume to play so these are perfect

Looking at the picture I would've said that the jack on the right of the tuner was the input so it looks the wrong way around to me as well

[quote name='amnesia' timestamp='1457190276' post='2996193'] Looks like the bass is plugged into the output of the pedal...swap the leads around maybe? [/quote] I was about to say: are the cables in the right way round? As in the bass goes to the input of the first pedal, then the output of that pedal goes to the input for the next one and so on

When I saw the title I was going to suggest switching them off
