Compared to what? This cab weighs more than all of my ice hockey goalie equipment that I carry in a bag! Granted, I'm 5'4", but my father is six inches taller and weighs much more than I do, and even HE has trouble hauling the Eden! :eek: I did buy a handcart for it, though, which makes it...

That is good idea! I'm looking at Markbass' official website right now. The Traveler 102P is listed at 33lbs. Not too shabby. Whether or not I buy it, I still have to sell the Eden and get my money's worth. I live in SoCal, so there are plenty of Guitar Centers around. Would they be helpful?

Hey Talkbass, I'm making the plunge into sightreading and am now the bassist for my community college's jazz band. The only problem is that the facility is not equipped with its own bass amp, so I am stuck lugging my Markbass LittleMark III head and Eden 2x10 in my Mazda3 hatchback. I'm...

Yes! More replies! I'll most certainly ask the director of the audition about his/her preference about effects. If it comes to be that I should pack one or two, fine; if not, that means less gear to carry. It sounds like my trusty MTD Kingston Artist, Eden 2X10, Markbass LMIII and my...

Again, thank you all for the thoughtful replies. To the person who pointed it out, yes, I did automatically face-palm when I realized the bands I listed had bassists, who, generally, do not use effects at all! I suppose my near-fetish of pedals came from listening to specific songs like...

Thank you all for the responses! I really tend to over-think things like this, and it seems to me that I should, as leegreenman suggested, just play and have fun. Though I have seen the 3leaf proton in action and am instantly envious of anybody who has it. And probably get a tuner pedal, as...

. . . what sort of effects would you expect her to have? Back story: I'm budging out of my shell and seeing if there are any bands in my area in need of a bassist. I've been playing for the past six years (five of them spent as a sorely anxious teen) and am chomping at the bit to jam with...

Here is my "dalmatian" Stingray: I love the DR Neons on her. Sounds great. Gotta represent the colors for the San Francisco Giants. :D

Thank you for all the responses! I've been eyeballing a couple Carvin basses currently on eBay, too. Going with another Artist certainly sounds like sage advice. I might do that... but get it in a different color. :) I like variety, but some consistency is good.

Right now, it would be my MTD Kingston Artist 4. I just popped in a Bartolini pup and love it. The neck is stunning.

Hey, all, I am in the market for a nice 5-banger to expand my array of instruments. It's got to be: a) left-handed b) particularly lightweight; I don't want an anchor with strings c) fit for funk, jazz, and some rock d) around $1150 or less I think I might be leaning more for a...
