    It isn't a perfect bass like you'd expect from a US Fender either. The body is rough in places, the frets could be polished and there are a couple of small dents on the neck. I'd have sent it back if I received even a £200 bass like that. But it's super comfy to play after a just quarter turn of the truss rod, sounds good, holds tune and resonates really nicely. I just want to pick it up and play it a lot, which is the sign of a good bass to me.

    It worked out lovely for the bass…I now have added it to my GAS list… jonny

    Thanks Phil, helpful as always! But, if what you say is correct (and I don't doubt that it is for a second!), that's making me think that the various earlier comments of: "you should never put an IEM cable into a line-level aux-out, without a headphone amp" as being an over-cautious old wives tale?

    I play my shorties so much these days that my long scales barely get a look in, and when they do it’s my bitsa ray. Not played my TT4 Superlight for ages. I think I’ll give some thought to moving that on to raise funds for a JMJ. If I can find one that is light enough.

    I know I'm being super fussy, ideally I'd like something that doesn't look particularly 'electric'. The band is doublebass, and either two acoustic guitars, mandolin and ukulele, or a mix of them between the two GUITARISTS, plus singer and drums. The Rivolta is borderline 'too electric' looking and I think the Italia takes it's too far. I do like them though. The Allen Woody has been on my radar but I've never played one, are they very thumpy or can you get a decent range of tones from them? I've been using my Kay K162 at rehearsals but it is just pure thump, you cannot get anything remotely bright from it, I even put DR Hi Beams on it and nothing. I love it but I could do with some highs. I might look at changing the electrics as I love the bass itself. Edit, I've also got a Hofner Club, only an Ignition but it ticks the boxes, but the narrow spacing at the bridge feels sooo different jumping between it and upright. I know I know, first world problems. The truth is I love the look of that Rivolta 😁

    I’ve seen T shirts like this before but always assumed that they were knock offs. This looks like a genuine Fender product - how can they get the date wrong??

    And I would also argue that if you do not own a bass guitar now, buying one because you have a gig and can't play without a bass, it wouldn't count as a fail

    212 cab

    peteb replied to BassAdder60's topic in Amps and Cabs

    I used to have two Berg 112 cabs and they struggled, just not loud enough, yet alone one cab! I sold them to get a CN212, which is great - I've never done a gig where the 212 isn't loud enough.

    So, my Behringer Flow 8 arrived yesterday, and I have enjoyed a few hours playing with my new toy. I won’t repeat what has already been said about construction, size, quality of the Mic preamps and general quality of the mixer but I have to say this is a fantastic bit of kit for £144. I installed the app on my Samsung tablet, connected Bluetooth easily, and the range is really good. The software is a breeze to use, just the right amount of functionality for my future trio and for a small band. I am familiar with the XR12 Air software having used an XR12 in a previous 5-piece band (XR12—Crown 1500—2 x EVSX300 + 2 x EV SB122). I was very pleased with the stripped-down functionality of the Flow 8 compared to the complexity of XR12. All the basics are present and more than enough capability to tailor the sound of a duo, trio or small band. WorkFlow (Ha-ha see what I did there!!) is intuitive, simple to use and very flexible, lots of snapshots to recall from previous venues etc. My plan is to mount the Flow 8 into a Stagg pedalboard case (got one spare) with a power bank and sit it on top of a centrally positioned single Citronic Casa 10BA which would then pair with two Alto TS408s or TS410s. I would then toggle between the Flow 8 App and Chords Wiki App on a mic stand mounted Samsung tablet. Initially 2 x Vox and Beat Buddy through the PA with a couple of daisy-chained Behringer B205Ds and small combos for backline. Ideally at some point in the future, to reduce footprint, transition from backline to guitars & bass DI into the Flow 8. Looking forward to reading some reviews of the Citronic 10BA before parting with any hard-earned cash. ( @Chienmortbb)

    There is no mystery about headphones and line outputs. Just looking at the Sennheiser IEM100 because that's waht I have to hand they are a 20ohm load and produce 115db for a 1V rms output or 0dbV. Line level is usually quoted as 0.7746V into 600ohms. In practice the output is often fine up to +10dbu and almost always +4dbu or 1.228V rms. So whilst there may be an impedance mis match (leading to a lack of current) a line output from most mixers will go well above 1V and deliver 115db right in your ears, plenty enough to cause you permanent tinnitus and with a good seal able to hear yourself. The headphone amp just gives you a better impedance match between mixer and phones, with a bit of extra gain with and a volume control.

    yes, they are made by me, I am an Italian bassist and luthier, I have been building basses and guitars for 10 years

    Hmmm have to disagree there. I'm in bands where going IEM is not a choice. I also do substitute gigs with bands where going IEM is not a choice. These days you have to have IEMs if you do cover band shows. It's a professional necessity.

    I have used the excellent Monaco cab as a 112 but I like the 212 better as a cab ideally two vertically spaced or diagonally spaced in a cab

    Bowie's 'David Live'. Herbie Flowers effortlessly covers a multitude of styles within the same gig, not only serving each song superbly, but also adding his own Herbie vibe to proceedings. The original mix is the one to go for vs. the latter remixed version, where the bassbis often buried in the mix. Either that or 'New Gold Dream...'

    Dating myself here (chronologically, not romantically) - McCartney's sublime counterpoint in Sgt. Pepper's blew me into the world of beautiful, Bach-ish bass!

    today that choice would be The fragile art of existence by Control Denied Quite simply the epitome of fretless playing in a metal context. Tomorrow may be something totally and completely random
