I visited The Farm Factory studios today for the first time (it's only been there about 20 years) - very nice - the rooms are bigger than the studio we use in Watford and only £2ph more than we've been paying.

More prizes being promised all the time though I am still waiting for BG Magazine to come back re: a years subscription.

Unfortunately Bassace has had to excuse himself (see a few posts above).

Well I`d thoroughly recommend it Rich, I had "enlightenment" when trying one out at the SE Bass Bash last year - within a week I`d sourced said rig on here.
[/quote]
My problem is getting it quiet enough. I've just agreed a sale on my Barefaced BigOne - 1x 15" and 1x 6". I'm getting cold feet on the sale and wondering if I'd be better with a 12". But I like the deep tone I got with the 15".

I've sold my LM2 as well, but I'm thinking of looking about on all this and trying to find a good set-up.

My problem is not being in a band, no real time to be in one either. So I simply want a great tone in the lounge at home. If I can still have a rig that has the flexibility to be able to deliver volume too, if a gig comes up, that would be good.

Easily pleased aren't I?

Pencil me in for coming along, we may have some friends staying that weekend.

Not sure what I could bring along tho...Musicman Sabre ? Geddy Lee Jazz ?
[/quote]

I'd like to try the Geddy Lee. They always seem to get good write ups, don't think I've ever read a bad review.
