That’s where I’m up to, unless I’m missing something that should be right

How many times have I envisioned myself doing that!!!

We will obviously be needing a diary with pictures. This way, we can cheer from the sidelines. We get quite possessive here

Brilliant!

Yep, I did, and I have had the red wire connect into the corner, as per the photos, but that didn’t work either.

Positive vibes with Rare Earth's "I Just Want to Celebrate" (John Persh). A joy to listen to and play along with.

Why didn't you check the link I provided above with everything explained about the wiring of the preamp, because the red wire doesn't go there... It's fully documented with pictures and you also have the wiring diagram. Go and have a check, you are close to it.

Wow! What a rig! Having a Messa as a standby for a Messa is pretty amazing. I aspire to own one.

I can't suggest anything else, sorry. Try Repairs and Technical.

Drumming with a bad knee? That's determination!

Well informed 👌👌

Behringer BDI... Bargain

I was looking at the Sansamp but ended up with a Genzler Magellan Preamp/DI Pedal specifically because: It has a built in HPF It has a built in mute switch It has two channels, one "modern" and the other "vintage" meaning two different EQ settings Seemed to do everything else the Sansamp did as well I've also historically liked the sound of Genz Benz/Genzler gear.

Yes - I have bought & sold items at previous Bass Bashes; I expect we'll set aside a for-sale area/table at the venue. We'll need to work out a floor plan; as @NancyJohnson mentioned it's pretty much an open area with a stage at one end.

Yeah, I’ve bypassed the battery box, and connected a clip on battery terminal, and yep, lead plugged in etc, and no joy at all.

Hi guys Before I go and buy a Sansamp Bass VT DI, wanted to see if anyone had any better ideas. I play at home through a powered speaker (Yamaha HS7) so a combined preamp/di box makes the perfect home practice setup. I've got a Boss ME-90B which sounds great but its a bit big for my small office space and frankly I want an excuse for new gear. I've had sansamp gear before so I know roughly what I'm getting but aware there are other bits of gear out there now that do similar things, ie the Origin Effects stuff which certainly looks good. Desirable features for me: 1. Vintage/Classic sounds, in the motown/reggae/edge of breakup indie rock spectrum. If i was a rich man who had a bigger house I'd probably buy a "real" B15 and an SVT and switch between them depending on mood. 2. High gain absolutely need not apply 3. Battery power ideal but not essential. 4. If needs a power supply, dedicated power switch very desirable (i don't like faffing about disconnecting and connecting power to turn stuff on/off) 5. Balanced DI out desirable 6. Volume control that affects the DI out extremely desirable 7. Cab sim on the DI out extremely desirable. Even better if it's switchable/defeatable. The Bass VT DI ticks almost all of those boxes I believe but interested to see if anyone thinks I'm selling myself short...
