I'll start with this gem from THORRR:
"I use the Markbass Littlemark 800 with TWO Avatar B410 Neos and the setup lacks nothing - More power than I'll ever need, even in outdoor venues. As to tone, If people will just spend some time learning what their amps can do by playing with different settings, chances are they'd all be happy with what they already have. Spend some time learning the Littlemark's potential and you can dial up any sound you like.
These amps and speakers don't just have one sound like people imply. "The Markbass sound" "The J-bass sound" "The Avatar Sound" That's all a bunch of crap! That's limited thinking from people who listen too little and try too little.
My Active Fender Jazz Deluxe bass can sound like any bass out there and my amp rig will go up against any amp rig out there. You just have to be patient enough to work at it and get your settings down. You'll get your 3.5.8, or 12 favorite tones and you'll know right where to find them when you need to. Buy what you like . . . whatever suits your needs. and forget about all these equipment junkies and collectors and posers who'll try to convince you that virtually anything you're considering is wrong on some level.
I'd suggest you get just the one B410 neo and work with it for a week or two before you decide you still need a second cab. Then you'll be better equipped to make a more educated decision. You may be surprised at the results." |

If I could dispense any advice it would be TRAIN YOUR EAR.
Spend more time listening, and less time trying to play by tabulature. You are cheating yourself in the long run. Any song worth learning is worth learning by taking your time and learning it by ear. Tabulature? it's a crutch.
oh, and wrong forum, I think.

If you put your dog on a big old chain and you let her go she'll run away.
Cheap whiskey burns, church girls are wild. We all take turns ,we've all been defiled.
You've got to learn to love yourself before you love somebody else.
Church bells ring, wash away my sins. Elvis sang only fools rush in.
Jesus said go sin no more,Elvis died on the bathroom floor.
Some folks get high, some just get by. Some go through life in a living hell.
Some take the prize ,some just capsize. How it's all gonna' end up you never can tell.
Yeah,I stole all that from a song..................

2. Take photos of your gear, including the serial numbers, and store the photos in multiple 'safe' locations!
3. When buying new/used gear, repeat steps 1 & 2.
