If it's just for stage monitoring loud and low aren't as important.

Also a Squier stacked knob Jazz.

Okay that's better, at least he's acknowledged the mistake on his part and taken steps to stop it happening again.

He's right, but per their return policy and assuming it's not a custom order, it's irrelevant, they have a 30 day return policy. Giving attitude or calling the customer wrong is just bad customer service 🤷🏻‍♂️ though appreciate it's hearsay without seeing how they actually phrased it.

Ok, Alex is building me another "quickly" and they are collecting this one. Alex has amended the website today to prevent this from happening again. So now when ordering the "old style logo" to match your existing cabs, there is now an option for "Cab Mirroring" which has the following description - "If you want this for a One10 to match an old One10, where the handle and side feet are on opposite sides to the current One10, this requires a custom cab build - please select this customisation if you want us to build a reversed One10 to match your old one." https://barefacedaudio.com/products/old-badge-block-style-not-script-style If this had been an option when I ordered, all of this could have been avoided. Still, I think their response is the right one now, and I'm going to get the cab I thought I'd ordered. Rob

Hoffman's Iron Law .2 : Goes loud, goes low, is inexpensive. Pick any two, but you can't have all three.

Any decent FRFR powered PA cab should do the job. Have al look through the FRFR thread for examples. I have an RCF 745 but TBH it's turned out to be complete overkill for what I need, and a smaller, lighter and lower powered cab would be equally suitable for nearly all the situations where I still need my own amplification on stage.

...nice and you can fit condoms in there as well - no wait this is the bass forum... 🙂 !

I wish I'd fitted these years ago. They're that good. Amazing how such a simple change can transform an instrument.

Blimey those prices look alarmingly reasonable

I never noticed that the E was in anyway lacking when I played it last night. I felt like the tone was very even across the fretboard. In all honesty, I get a little lost with lows / mids / scooping and all that business. I just know when it sounds good, or bad ! Best thing I could advise is to talk to Lee, and he'll make them to your exacting specifications. https://www.laverackguitars.com/toltec-pickups

Walrus Audio are not established, IMO, in the bass world to warrant such high prices. They refer to 'premium' components. I mean, they list transformers and a 'year of research', but what EXACTLY is premium. I want specifics. See how Thorpyfx approaches such claims, as they really are bulletproof high end pedals. I've always thought they try to push their guitar pedals like the 'Apple' of pedals. I've not heard one that is that remarkable. This preamp doesn't seem to actually do that much at all. Ian's tone is from his playing and his bass. It sounds like a nice EQ pedal? There needs to be way more comparisons of dry/or a normal DI compared to this high end version.

I could do with purchasing one of these preamps quite soon but the black knobs seem to have been out of stock for a while, and no idea how long it'll be before they're available again (I did sign up for "let me know when they're available"). I see they are 6 + 8mm bore shafts for the stacked pots. Had anybody found some good alternatives that fit properly and look decent (in black)? Current preamp is a Bartolini with the black plastic knobs, which I actually quite like. The Bart knobs are the wrong size/type though. Thanks in advance for any imparted wisdom!

Balls To The Wall - Accept

Where can I purchase a Steel $-string Jazz Bass Bridge?

Is that a typo for Risca?

No, its fine. Ive tuned a few to BEAD

A light, affordable and decent powered cab is not common. Why not get a combo and dial back the input sensitivity (or use the line input or effects return if it has one - many do). Failing that, an active PA cab would to the job for not too much money.
