Thanks Phil. My main point (and yours, if I understood you correctly) was that people shouldn't worry too much about claimed power outputs. As we both stated earlier, many amp manufacturers add an off-the-shelf power module from one of relatively few companies to their own preamp design. Those power modules are pretty similar in performance at a given price point. They have to be to be competitive in the market. As a designer, agedhorse will be interested in reading data sheets, etc, but the great majority of amp buyers won't be. They just want something that will do the job for them. Most class D heads, save for those made by those who like to gild the lily a little (Behringer, TC, we're looking at you) do have similar claimed power outputs, which is unsurprising, given that they are using similar power modules. Tonal differences are largely due to preamp designers' preferences, who they are aiming their product at (Is it good for metal?), etc. When I bought my AG700, I spent several hours at Bass Direct and compared products from most of the usual suspects. I chose the AG because it was the closest to an all-rounder and worked well with the cabs I use (PJB). My choice may well not suit others, hence the need to audition/try gear and not buy on recommendation alone.

I don’t think notched on the treble side is a thing in that era - just reissues?

Warwick JD Thumb 5-string. I've only ever seen one and it was when my finances were at a rather low ebb so I couldn't buy it.

Fernandes The Revival Jazz Bass RJB-75 '60 original Fretless 1981 with Stone Logo on the neck plate and original Seymour Duncan Hot Jazz Bass (SJB-2) single coil pickups. It will be delivered with the original Fernandes pickups (the neck one is cut), a spare new old stock SLB8 (0.065") Rotosound string and an original BadAss II bridge. This bass is the successor of the Jaco model (FJB-65J) of the previous series. The bass has been used a lot and is showing signs of use, wear and dings: it's a player and a fantastic one! This is a really rare version of the RJB-75 '60 with a factory lined fretless fingerboard, which is impregnated (not epoxied) rosewood as the wood doesn't mark even with the long standing round wound strings, and these are the Rotosound RS66, so the ones which would mark the most. I've owned several Fender Jaco Pastorius models including the Custom Shop ones, and this bass is totally equivalent to them, no worries. NO TRADES (as I already have its successor)! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE! Asking price including fully insured shipping with tracking number, to your home, in these European countries (ask for other countries): Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding DOM -TOM), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom: €950 EUR (£825 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros)!!! Shipping to the UK is of course possible and included in my asking price, but with additional customs charges (VAT + other taxes + courier costs), as the UK is now outside the EU. Here are the specifications : Body: alder (imported from the U.S.A.) Neck: hard maple (imported from the U.S.A.) Fingerboard: impregnated rosewood (7.25" radius) (imported from the U.S.A.) Positions: 20 lined, and dots at the fretted positions on the front and side à la Jaco Headstock: 4 in line Tuners: Fernandes (Fender-like non reversed) Pickups: original Seymour Duncan Hot Jazz Bass (SJB-2) single coils Controls : classic volume, volume, tone (CTS pots plus a PIO 22 nanofarads capacitor) with Bakelite knobs Bridge: original Fernandes with threaded saddles à la Fender pre-CBS Strings spacing at bridge: 19 mm (or even 20 mm, which is my preference, thanks to the threaded saddles) Nut: bone Strings spacing at nut: 9 mm (width 39 mm) Scale: 34 inches Hardware colour: nickel Truss rod: one, single action, 100% functional, even if a bit hard Finish: polyurethane Country of origin: Japan Serial number: none as it's still a Stone Logo neck plate (only for the very first series) Year: 1981 Weight: 4.460 kilos Action : from 1.5 mm under the G string to 2 mm under the E string at 12th position (can even go way lower if you shim the neck, but was perfect for me) Will be delivered in a brand new Fame gig bag Antique Deluxe in faux brown leather. Non-smoking environment as usual. The bass has been fully set up. It has received a new old stock set of stainless steel Rotosound RS66LD strings (45-65-80-105), which really serve this bass, think Jaco. What you see is what you get! Look carefully at the photos taken from different angles and lights to see the real condition, which is used with wear and dings, with some light ones at the back of the neck. Here is the link to 45 photos in high definition: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cadFMVhpadl8HNt3UjpSZUQnSNdJdQ-h?usp=drive_link Due to severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus left and right shoulders injury (it's really painful to reach the tuners), I'm selling all the basses I'm not using like this one as well, because it's too heavy for me. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale. Don't hesitate to ask for more, but, please, before asking read my ad first as the answer is certainly already in it!

Not so sure, as some notched (let's call them that way) tuners don't have this feature on both sides and they have cohabited with absolutely non notched ones. Check this photo I have already uploaded before: no notch on the treble side...

If you design your own Signature 15 string Bass???
tauzero replied to evrenyilmaz's topic in General Discussion
ITYF (as I've said twice already) that it's not 5 x base plus 2 octaves, but 15 separate strings (see video immediately above) as string selection for a 15 equivalent to a 12 would be similar to the string selection for my 10-string Dean (BEADG plus octaves) but with 5 extra octave strings. -
Most of the venues I am playing now have "green room" which is for all the bands to use for relaxing, getting changed and storing cases and gear when not playing. One venue even has separate changing rooms for the headlining and support bands. I've not seen the headliner's room, but the support band's room is tiny. Whilst you could get a 4-piece band in there it would be so cramped that no-one would actually be able to get changed and one person would be in the toilet!

I'm running a pair of Barefaced Midget G2 cabs with my Markbass head (F1) and have been for ages now, maybe 10 years+ ? (the cabs were bought new and are from what i believe to be the last batch of G2 cabs built.) I thought I'd swap the head out for something else but I've just found that the combination i have sounds right to me.

Anybody tried covering the pedal with epoxy? I am giving it a go now, I used epoxy before for other stuff so not completely new to it, but I forgot how ridiculously messy it is 😔

It says it's an EastCoast but it is identical in every way to the Stagg version, so I assume they were made in the same factory at the same time. Very good condition. Comes with arm rest, stand, case, bow and roisin. Since injuring my hand earlier this year it's too difficult for me to play now, so I'm hoping someone else can make use of it. Type: Electric upright double bass Size: 3/4 Top: Solid maple Neck: Solid maple Bridge: Ebonized hardwood Nut: Plastic, black Machine heads: P-bass style, diecast, nickel Electronics: Volume and bass control Low battery indicator 3.5 mm (1/8") stereo mini jack input for phone or MP3 player 3.5 mm (1/8") mini jack output for headphones 6.35 mm (1/4") jack output Accessories included: Gigbag, bow, roisin, stand Colour: White/Cream

Had the same head but with a 1212R, Markbass + Schroeder is one of my most missed rigs. Just sounded like they were made to go together, possibly the great big walloping low mid hump of the Schroeder patching a hole in the MB EQ.

Sometimes its a choice between cupboard or disabled toilet. That's when we clarify our contract that states changing room. Most venues provide decent changing areas that we can lock and have enough space for 4 guys and a lady. Because we all wear outfits for the show we need somewhere secure to leave our normal clothes when on stage. Some would add that my stage clothes are my normal clothes but that's only at weekends and what i wear at home is my business. (see my avatar) 🤣 Dave

I had a Markbass 1x12 "Traveller" cab with a Little Mark 2 head. I chose this one over the smaller version because it had a slightly deeper frequency range. I was a bit greener around the ears back then when I bought it, but I definitely remember it sounding a little dark and compressed in the top end, and this cab had a superior tweeter than the smaller cube-shaped 1x12 cabs. I replaced the head with a Carvin BX700 that opened it up a bit with its plethora of EQ options. Whilst I don't use backline for gigs anymore, I recently bought a powered GR Bass 1x12 because I wanted something better sounding and lighter than the Headrush frfr-112 I was dragging to rehearsal. I'm really liking the sound that comes out of this so far. It seems to be quite transparent and accurate.
-
Based on nothing but a hunch, I'm inclined to agree.
-
I think it’s an intentional feature myself and not faulty machinery or they would have put it right in the first place
-
I hope I have described this cab correctly it is the Barefaced two twelve cabinet non tweeter and is an early issue of the cab. It is simply the best cab I have ever owned. Why sell it? Well I am not playing the big venues any more and am downsizing to a barefaced midget. This cab is in good condition only a handle has been replaced and it has lived in the Roqsolid cover since new and never driven to its full potential. The cover has a board inside to protect the metal grille.Collection possible from the Glasgow area £540. or 24 hr. Courier to mainland. U.K. £20

Cool for Cats bassline - chorus, phaser or flanger
ped replied to JJTee's topic in General Discussion
Agree on the Bassballs vibe - it's a twin envelope follower which therefore creates a sort of phase cancellation effect depending on how you adjust the filters. But it doesn't seem to be triggering very dynamically, as suggested. -
Indeed @wateroftyne, and it's absolutely not documented in any book about the subject and I own a lot, including the amazing trilogy named Our Vintage Soul or the fully documented The Authority of Fender Bass, in those books the instruments have been fully dismantled... 😉
