I'm still flip-flopping between a pedalboard and a processor-stand/pedalboard fusion. Both sound largely the same, both have their own perks. I do need to pick which I wanna keep though and sell the other, the shelf of shame is getting pretty full!

Remember that without any pressure on the top, the soundpost will have a tendency to fall, so you would need an access (hole) or the skill to put the post in place like the classical luthiers. Unless you use this adjustable soundpost (start at 2:20 to avoid the presentation): https://www.anima-nova.de/english-1/the-soul/ -
Thanks. Whilst I don’t feel the need to bend strings much, I guess what you are meaning is this kind of thing. . . ‘My Echo’ by Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever. Cool slice of summer jangle with a fun video. A fair bit of bending going on here, see 2:00 - 2:20. During the solo bass bit, I really like that tone that is slightly gritty yet still smooth, as opposed to abrasive with a ton of finger screech. I’m guessing he’s using flats there, likely the lower tension ones like TI or La Bella. What do you think? My Fender 9050L strings have arrived & will be going on soon. I keep feeling how smooth they are through the packet!

I must be the luckiest person alive, but I got the same delivery lady for Evri (from Hermes days) and the same delivery guy from DHL all the time for years, all of them do a very solid job. Never had anything lost/delayed by them.

I wonder what effect this merger with DHL will have: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwywd2wzxp2o Probably not an improved service...

bassoctopus started following Mark Bass 2x10/1x15 stack with Roqsolid covers
-
For sale is my wonderful Mark Bass stack. These are the full fat cabs - not the traveller or lower end cabs. STD 102 HF, 8ohm, 400W STD 151 HF, 8ohm, 400W I bought this rig new in 2013 when I was playing in a few wedding/function bands as well as doing rock and alternative and gigging once or twice a weekend. I then retired from gigging for health reasons around 2015 and it was dry (and warm) stored until 2022 when I started using it for the odd gig with my original band, 300ft Gorilla - we average about one gig a year! As you can see from my pictures, it is in mint condition - no tears, no scuffs, carpet is good - I really look after my gear. It comes with fitted roqsolid covers to keep it looking as nice as it is now. I love the sound of this rig - it covers every genre effortlessly and as I write this, I'm getting the feeling that I might regret selling it if I start playing more again. It's also lightweight - I can carry a cab in each hand, and has great build quality as you would expect from Mark Bass. It has not been messed around with - the covers have never been off and it's still on the original speakers. Selling as I could do with the space at home and for transporting and as I only do rock, I'm moving to a lightweight Ampeg 410. Price is firm as I really am happy to keep hold of it, collection only. Any test/demo is welcome o

Then here is a picture of my modular red IEC cable setup that I interconnect depending on the length that I need. (I have about 4 of these)

Oh I meant the faceplate. The edges retracted... it looks better live than on this pic 😂

Hi all I am selling this pack of 5 x brand new and unused Van Damme patch cables. Each cable is 30cm in length from connector to connector. Cable is Van Damme Classic XKE instrument - tough as nails and more robust than the equivalent patch cable. Connectors are low profile pancake-style TS mono jacks. Will not split, selling as a lot of 5 cables for £40 plus £3 UK P&P Thanks! Danny

Matt P replied to The Guitar Weasel's topic in EUB and Double Bass
getting the bar in via the f-holes shouldn't be too difficult if you use the string method (similar to getting pots and jack sockets into hollow bodied guitars,) drop a string into the hole in the neck pocket and then fish it out through the f-hole, then run it through the threaded hole in the bar and tie a stop knot, a string through each M8 hole should allow you to pull the nutplate into position so it can be fixed with the m5 screw. of course if the profile isn't nice and square inside then the block becomes more difficult to shape, but once the block is in place you shouldn't ever need to remove it so the access panel wouldn't be required. Engineering runs in our family too, my Paternal grandfather was an engineer and my brother was also an engineer before he moved into computing. (the other side of the family is all fairly practical too, mostly in various manufacturing industries.) I've married an engineer and our son is showing pretty good technical abilities at age 8.

Monster. I’ve had three of these. Heavy and unforgiving but outrageously powerful and authoritative. IMO, the finest bass amp ever built. Almost ridiculous to try to describe tone in words but there’s a sort of 3D quality to the DB750. Nasty to shift but an absolute classic. The big Ampegs and Mesas can be beautiful but for me, the DB750 achieved a different level

Another Markbass user here - specifically the Mini CMD 121P IV combo on top of a New York 121 cab. Best rig I've ever owned. I don't know about the "high end rolloff" been mentioned - the NY121 has a tweeter, and it's controllable, so if you like some highs, crank up the tweeter? Fair enough if you're chasing some purity of sound and 1:1 unfiltered, uncoloured output, you do you. Me, I just want a "good" sound - I define what "good" means to me and I just crack on with it. The rig I have sounds "good" to me, it's eminiently portable (can take one cube in each hand in/out of the venue) and they both fit (just) in the boot of my relatively small car. Happy as a pig in sharn, I am. I've also gone the opposite way round and used a few different heads with the Markbass NY121 cab (specifically a Tecamp Pump 900 and a TC Electronic BH250) and the cab handled them both with aplomb (obviously I didn't crank the Puma 900 up to its higher power capabilities - 600W into a 400W cab doesn't sound like a great idea to me!)
