    Should I Upgrade?

    If you're just using it to practice, look at buying a head as it saves so much space. Something like the TC BH250 is tiny and has a headphone jack, and if you find you do need a speaker, just get a cab to go with it. Together they shouldn't cost more than £600 depending on brands.

    Wanting to get a tattoo (music related)

    I'm 19 and also planning to get a couple of tattoos soon. Bass clef on one forearm and an outline of the RHCP asterisk on the other. The way I see it, music and playing bass are large parts of my life and things that I really don't want to give up or lose interest in as I get older. No matter...
