Weasel Rock You - Queen

I’m currently ampless in the bass department but have a rather nice black star guitar amp. I’m looking for an aesthetically pleasing small bass amp+ cab or combo to join it but I’m struggling a little. The look tends to be black tolex and coloured speakers, where coloured tolex and a nice cloth grill is what I’m after. Any suggestions for a combo or cab?

@TrevorRis right - if one has only ever heard a bass guitar on a recording, through headphones or a laptop speaker, or even a hifi, then the sound of a real bass is shockingly powerful. One can mute the notes, play them shorter, not let the open strings ring out. One can even set the amp controls to 'flat' (no cut, no boost). All those techniques will tame the bass sound. However, ultimately, the bass is a powerful instrument. I would worry less about the specifications and the numbers, and more about what instrument feels best in your hands.

Now the built in stand is a definite must of a mod 😁

I can only assume you tried to load pics of the bass but the mods removed it because they didn’t think we could cope in the trouser dept? It’s understandable!

I've got the Energy 2x10 and use it mostly with a MB AG1000 head. I love it. It's plenty loud enough, goes deep enough, and it sounds like the tone in my head. Very happy with it.

You certainly have done your bit! Plenty of these new MXR Bass Synths purchased in the UK since all the retailers have sold out. I've got a Zoom B3 so only 3, but I do want to try and emulate bass synth sounds and that, from what I can glean from those who do it, is to use 4-5 effects to do so (Drive, Fuzz, Octave, Compressor, etc). The MXR is out of my budget atm.

Just did this and the latency differential seems really high, at 14ms. It just does not feel like that when playing and listening. Same in a band setting with the singer also using the 2nd reciever. Hmm, maybe our ears are out or there's an issue with Ardour's selection calculation if the range is in the milliseconds. Test rig: Phone playing Footloose (its fast and better than listening to a metronome!) using Moises just bass and vocals but with added autogenerated click track USB-C out to a minijack splitter one stereo to mono cable to input 1 on an Audio Interface (Scarlett 4i4 3rd Gen) one stereo to mono cable to the M-Wave WP-12 transmitter. Receiver into input 2.

That reminds me, I must buy myself an ice lolly...

Telegraph Rodent - Dire Straits

No drummer, it’s an om. Backing acoustic guitards, yes even on sanctuary (his version is quite gentle) so I should really resist the urge to smack the ampeg svt patch to 11

It’s inevitable to look for comparisons. Here’s the FI v3 doing a classic Greg Philingaines part and coping pretty well: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dt5u-xJGXNTmXBKSkYH7fSTBPm5vTlgV/view?usp=drivesdk Here’s the isolated part: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EBujKhsBj4awZp1YbbgglrSPeljJ_R2H/view?usp=drivesdk

...and where did the thread went? "You don't have the permission..." Has @Kiwi been talking to my ex?

Eight note overflow here! Slow down a bit @Bilbo!
