Just received some double bass strings from Clarky...... must be a contender for the speediest dispatch medal! Very happy with my purchase, thanks

Nice looking bass how's the set up?

[quote name='fatback' timestamp='1414333717' post='2588314'] The option to use a mag pickup was a biggie for me. That really left only the weichs as low tension options. They might be a bit electric sounding for some tastes, but I like the singing quality they have. Others might prefer a thumpier, old school sound. I don't know what metal, low tension strings there are other than weichs. Would be interested to know. [/quote] You could try Presto Ultralites if its a mag friendly thump you are after.... not too great for arco though

Welcome to the forum Bill. Where a bouts in North Cyprus are you? I have relatives in kyrenia whom we visit fairly regularly, really like the place!

Dunno if this is the sort of thing you're looking for - from a recent thread..... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/234355-busking-batteries-and-bass-amps/page__view__findpost__p__2457866"]http://basschat.co.u...ost__p__2457866[/url]

[quote name='Wonky2' timestamp='1412986857' post='2573982'] Might need some tips with the parametric is any one is familiar....? [/quote] [url="http://www.mesaboogie.com/manuals/WalkAbout.pdf"]Page 10 of the manual[/url] is a good place to start...........

I have a qube 450 which I am very happy with. It got a favourable response at the West Sussex mini bash a few weeks ago (through my Schroeder 1212L) [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/search.html?KF=on&gk=gibahetr&oa=ala&bn=Taurus&pr=&wgfid1=9161&wgf9161=&wgfid2=9162&wgf9162=&wgfid3=9163&wgf9163=&wgfid4=9164&wgf9164=&wgfid5=9165&wgf9165=&wgfid6=9167&wgf9167=&wgfid7=9169&wgf9169=&wgfid8=9171&wgf9171=&wgfid9=9170&wgf9170="]Thomann[/url] stock them, and the only UK dealer I know of is the ([size=2]more expensive[/size]) [url="http://www.bassbarn.co.uk/epages/es140349.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es140349/Categories/Taurus"]Bass Barn[/url]

SLB100 on ebay at the moment http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-SLB-100-Silent-Bass-/221557909038?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Sting_Instruments&hash=item3395e1662e

Have a look at [url=http://www.roqsolid.co.uk/wp/?page_id=65]Roqsolid powerbags[/url] - made to your spec....

How about connecting a [url="http://artproaudio.com/artcessories/headphone_amps/product/headtap/"]Art Headtap[/url] in line between your amp and cab. Its got a volume control and headphone out. Might work.....?

I would suggest getting yourself a train ticket down to the Southeast bass bash on Nov 1st - You will be able to see/hear/ touch and play through all manner of Head/cab combinations, most of which will be well within your budget. Don't forget your earplugs! ;-) Might be a bit of a trip but if you're spending that sort of money it's probably the best research plus its a good day out!

A great way to spend a few hours on a Sunday! Thanks to all involved in the organisation and running of the event. Look forward to the next one.....

Yep! Managed to give the groupies the slip!!

It's high quality cap I'll have you know ;-)

Would it be a breach of protocol if I bought along couple of bits and bobs that I am thinking of putting in the classifieds, in case anyone wants a "Bash Bargain"? (I have paid my £20 btw)....

John just bought my EAD212, we met half distance, did the deal , had a coffee and chatted bass! Thoroughly nice guy, paid up front and kept me informed. A text book Basschat transaction! If your buying or selling, I would happily recommend John to deal with.

I'm a bit smitten with this [url=http://www.taurus-amp.pl/bass/head/silver-line/qube-450.html]Taurus qube[/url] at the moment - its tiny, but loud and pretty versatile. Appears to be well put together as well. £485 from Thomann

Brian traveled to meet me at very short notice, to do a deal regarding his Mesa amp. It was a pleasure to meet him and the amp was in excellent condition as described. I would happily enter into another transaction with him in the future. One of the good guys!!

I had a thought a while ago about trying to use an [url="http://artproaudio.com/artcessories/headphone_amps/product/headtap/"]Art Head tap[/url] to hook up to the pa as a sort of basic in-ear system. Never followed it up though Anyone see any potential in it? I'm probably missing the blindingly obvious.........

Nice to see a relic that doesn't look like it's been attacked with an angle grinder......Nicely done!
