    Would you buy a Fender Bass V if Squier reissued it?

    Why aren't bi-amp heads more common?

I gave it a low power and careful vacuuming on purchase (it had some nylon wig hairs in a lurid colour in...

    I might trade my Darkglass 900 for a Laney Nexus Tube

    Substitute Marketing for Pushing at your own discretion. What a pity that a name US bassist or someone with clout (along with the GB born Glenn Hughes who used it briefly) wasn't associated with the Nexus Tube. Other than the usual suspects (for how much longer viz a viz tube suppliers) there...
