Check out the Ken Smith P.A.P.A.

You can find them on Amazon in different sizes. Mine was swiped from a supermarket 40 years ago :cool: This looks pretty close https://tinyurl.com/4bfkchfy

I pulled the frets and made a fretless bass out of it decades ago, unfortunately I stink at fretless so it never gets played :smug:

I grabbed a used one on a whim at GC, it was awful, I got rid of it.

All I can say is wow and I'm really happy with the cab! My usual rig is a Mesa D800+ > Mesa Subway 115 + 112 which has been my goto for about 7 years so I know it well. I was curious how the barefaced would sound with my D800+ in a live setting and I've got to say it was awesome. I'm not the...

I've been on the fence for a very long time, pulled the trigger a few months ago and my new Super Compact T is finally here. Loving it in my living room, taking it to a gig tonight, can't wait! Thanks to @JohnnyBottom for getting my GAS for a Barefeced going 😉 I was done after hearing your...

What other people think has no impact on my like or dislike for a musical group, or anything for that matter.

My D800+ > SW 115+SW112 has been doing the trick for me for the past seven or so years. I'll play my Smith or a Gould GGi5.

Best money I spent in 2024 - I have 4 pedals on my board, these two are always on Empress Bass Compressor Empress ParaEq MKII

This ^ I went from an M6 to the D800+ with the settings above for the past seven years into a SW115 + SW112 and I couldn't be happier with it for what I play.

I bought this right away when I got my GLXD Shure WA304 2' Instrument Cable, 4-Pin Mini Connector (TA4F) with Right-Angle 1/4" Connector https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002E1UTY?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

I never got to try the WD but a couple of weeks ago my D800+ had to be brought in for repair, after hundreds of gigs and about 8 years it started making blown speaker sounds with any speaker. I have zero complaints, it served me very very well. After careful consideration I bought a new D800+...
