I bought my first VL-110 new in '97, and picked up a 2nd, used one last year. I'm running a MarkBass LittleMark VI which is 250W @ 8Ohm and 500W @ 4Ohm, so matches perfectly for 1 or 2 cabinets. If I had it to do over I'd probably get a Quilter (used to run the single cab on an Ampeg SVT 400-T...

So in the event you're not able to escape the trap, one cool thing I noticed after my 20+ year sabbatical was that my bass player brain had kept right on being a bass player brain the while time I was 'inactive'; listening and analyzing and processing every bass party that drifted by. I may be a...

My EA cabs have a little kickstand that tilts them maybe 15 degrees, but I use a kickback stand to get them closer to 40 and a webbing strap to keep the head from sliding off.

Another One Bites the Dust - can't go wrong starting with a 3 on E!

My band is in the process of ditching our wedges for IEMs, and one of the guitarists and I have been running wireless 'cables' for our instruments for a while now. His guitar wireless is a single-channel 5.8gHz unit, while mine has 4 channel options, also in the 5.8gHz spectrum. Both guitarists...

Here's some hits from Trolling for Olives' (R.E.M. cover/tribute) show from last Wednesday. GoPro audio is not excellent, but you get the idea.

Bass vs BEHS
