New Bass Day.....

Attachment 23698

Well Guys, I've been banging on about my old Musicman from the "Glory Days" ever since I joined this Forum and, after my recent separation from my wife of 18 years and subsequent sale of my "Little Piece of Tasmania" I decided that it was time for some good to come of it all and it was also time to stop settling for second best.

So, Gentlemen, without further ado, I give you, my Brand New MIA Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray 5HH.

I'm sure that would work both ways El. You have some fine basses yourself.

Nice score Hobie!!

My Squire P-Bass has been holding up pretty well.

Nice one Hobie, I think you are now back in the glory days!

sweet looking bass Hobie, hope you have plenty of fun playing it !

One of my blues jam mates has one of these it's very nice to play and has a great tonal palate.

Great score Hobie

Last Thursday Night I got to try out my new Beastie, and it did not disappoint.
However, in an attempt to make sure I wasn't too loud, I turned my Quad Box down and relied mostly on my 2x10 Top Box. Unfortunately it wasn't quite up to the task and developed a bit of fuzz towards the middle of the second set. (it is 20 years old....) So now I'm on the hunt for a replacement. A nice new Lightweight Boogie 2x10 was my first thought, then for a similar price a Mesa Powerhouse 4x10 raised its head.....

"Hmmmm" I thought to myself until I saw that for not much more money I could get a 6x10 and would not need a top box.
Then I thought , " While I'm at it, I might as well get myself a nice shiny new Boogie Subway D800+ to run it".....

Well, since I was forced to sell my house after the breakdown of my marriage and I might even get a little bit of the proceeds, I think I deserve a treat......

New Amp Day is Rapidly approaching.......

Watch this space.

Looks like three brothers standing for a family photo. A certain theme going on there. Nice herd

Aaaaand New Amp Day finally arrived.....Attachment 24571

A shiny New Mesa Boogie Subway D800+ with a Powerhouse 410.

I tried it out at a Jam a couple of nights ago and this thing lives up to its name, well, both of its names, it really Boogies, and what a Powerhouse it is.....

Actually I ordered Subway 210 speaker as well but the Freight Company supposedly had a problem with the con note. I think it is more likely that SCM forgot to send it as they were unable to supply tracking details and would not reply to my emails until I phoned them.
They still haven't supplied tracking details but I expect to see it soon anyway....... I hope.
It sounds totally Awesome as it stands but the Subway will add another dimension and flexibility for smaller venues.

I'm Gigging it Saturday Night with a 400W EV15 under it. Northern Tassie may have a few seismographs going off.

The final installment. (maybe). Mesa Boogie Subway 210. Nice and light but doesn't sound small.....

That looks quiet and lacking in power....not. Good set up Hobie!

Holy crap! That is a shit hot rig!

Oh my, that is quite the rig! My little Warwick combo just peed all over the floor and is hiding in it's kennel shaking.

Mate, that is pure Bass heaven. With a bit of volume you could almost do a Moses and part Bass Strait back to the mainland haha.
