So I ended up picking up this bad girl. Sounds great and feels great. Weight doesn’t seem like an issue yet but we’ll see

Hello people, Canadian here Looking at adding a Sire bass to my arsenal. Toss up between a 4 string P5 alder or a 4 string P7 alder. I already own a 5 String Fender Marcus Miller Jazz, so looking for something smaller (as in 4 strings, unless you can convince me otherwise to go for a 5 string...

Looking at a MarkBass little mark III for $660CAD+tax and duties. Thoughts? Running it through 2 matching MB 4x10’s

Cabinet/Amp Head Help - Ampeg/MarkBass Hello bass buddies - starting a new thread to keep ideas separate. Found a Mesa Boogie M6 Carbine and Powerhouse 1200 1x15/4x10 cab from different owners. Little bit crazy priced. $2,600 CAD all in. I’ve been using a similar rig at a studio we practice...

So I'm starting to come to a conclusion of: Fishing the market more. Seeing what's available. Reverb, classifieds, etc. Renting gear for a gig when required. This band is still relatively new and looking for gigs. Thinking this will give me an opportunity to test out different rigs for gigs too...

these are great white north prices. Trying to negotiate with the sellers of course. Man, if I knew it was going to be this tough to find the “stars are aligned” gear config, I’ll just stick with my crappy 200w yorkville 1x15. And rent as required.

Worst case: I can always rent gear when required. I know the ROI might be skewed but still not sure if these bands are committed to gigging and if blowing 1,000’s on dollars is fully warranted. At the current rehearsal studio we’re at, they have a Mesa boogie M6 head and a 4x10 1x15 cab...

:thumbsdown: Not that I expect everything to work out of the box and especially been through the rehearsal studio ringer, but this definitely does through a wrench into my decision :thumbsdown:

I hate mismatching gear, but not sure the locations we would play at are able to accommodate the fridge in the corner of the bar. I think for the price it's a steal, but still figuring out the used market pricing on gear. Update: They may have an 1-2x Ampeg 4x10. Thoughts on that single/pair?

I am definitely leaning towards the 2x 4x10. I have a 4-castored flat dolly that I can stack both on top of and roll around. Just regretting the dead lifting of 50lbs each (MarkBass) into my vehicle and out. Technically, I always rent a 8x10 if I really wanted the power for a show. Also...

Hello Bass Buddies - be gentle on me. Still figuring out this watt & ohm lingo. Short and sweet: rehearsal studio going out of business. looking at getting some of the used gear. Ampeg SVT-3 Pro ($400-$500) 450w 4ohm - 275w 8ohm Long & McQuade SVT3PRO 450Watt Bass Head Pretty much sold on it...
