... And maybe I'll grow up some day and get more sensible in my choices...but...probably not.

Growing up is over rated.   

Plus that IS a sweet looking setup.   

Glad you found a rig that you are happy with. I have always found the "form factor" of the TC Electronic cabinets intriguing but never had a chance to hear what they sound like. Looks like more than enough rig for home practice, you are gig ready, too.

To my own amazement I like the TC rig more very time I play through it. Might also have something to do with me learning to understand Ms. Coco a bit better. So far I haven't even moved the EQ controls from noon and I am getting all the tones from the bass I could wish for. For the first time I actually feel completely comfortable with the instrument and confident in my tone. This might be the beginning of a long love affair....


Now if there was just a way to learn to play better ... practice, you say? Oh!

My pratice Amp is a Peavey Microbass mini combo [sigh].... sometimes you guys make me feel like a small kid hahaha

I have a Peavey microbass amp that I stuck a vintage big giant magnet 8" speaker in (JBL or EV or something) and I play guitar through it and it sounds killer!
The secret to making it sounding great is my Topanga reverb pedal. I have even gigged with it.

I used to have a Peavey microbass amp about 13 years ago and I thought it sounded superb.  I used it for guitar on small gigs, home practice on bass and low volume rehearsals in small rooms and it sounded fine to me. It struggled a bit on the low B but at that time I was playing mainly 4 string bass.

I bought it almost 20 years ago after reading that it was chosen as "best little bass amp" in a Bass Player Mag shootout, regarded as the only one "not sounding boxy". Don't know about that, I cut its mids entirely. To me its 8" speaker little cabinet sounds too honky, but it serves me well as home pratice amp.

It is sturdy, but if I was buying a new one today I could find way better choices, though.

Mine went to the son of my gf at the time as he was getting into electric guitar and that opened the door to my PJB Briefcase. sometimes i wish i still had it though as it was great as a clean guitar combo. You are right about the mids mario though i liked that crispness sometimes.

I bought one a long time ago and was a long time Bass Player magazine subscriber... it might have been what prompted me.

I was not a fan of the Micro Bass.
