  1. What is the cab?
  2. If you really, really want to use the active speaker then all you need is a stand-alone pre-amp for the other bands to use with it.
  3. I've got one but haven't had a chance to give it a full workout yet. There are others here who have used them.
  4. What about a Bergantino NV115 - they come up on the used market from time to time. 15" + 6" drivers sealed cab 400-watt handling 8-ohm impedance
  5. Have a look for Eich or Tecamp Bassboard or Porter and Davies. They both do these. I took the DIY approach and bought the parts from Ebay/Amazon/Homebase for the platform and secondhand Markbass Nano to drive it. I also have a small mixer so I can mix my bass with a microphone in the kickdrum.
  6. Some years ago I heard a story that Strings and Things would swap necks and bodies to meet specific orders.
  7. I built my own bassboard.
  8. Those of us who were at the SE Bass Bash a couple of years ago heard all about this from Herbie himself. He demonstrated it with himself on upright, Dave Swift playing Herbie's 1960 Jazz. Support you local Bass Bash and learn something new.
  9. At the last two Jams I played Money For Nothing, Tush, Sweet Home Alabama, Hotel California, Crazy, Play That Funky Music, Born To be Wild, Shake Your Moneymaker, Sex On fire, Summer of 69, Fisherman's Blues so not all 12-bars. They were all the guitarists' choices of course. I like to make a note of what others play, especially the house band, and then go away and brush up on them. O.P. Go along, just listen to what's going on for a couple of times and then do your homework.
  10. Don't forget that if you are importing it into the UK you will have to pay duty on it plus VAT @ 20% on (cost + shipping + duty)
  11. Having been brought up on valves I have perpetually had a hankering for an all-valve head. Over the years I tried Marshall, Laney, Orange and Mesa. They were all OK up to a point but apart from the Mesa they were all far too bulky and heavy. Following WoT's recommendations this year I bought a Handbox WB100 and I love it. Fantastic tone and I can carry it in one hand, even though I'm a 70+ 5'6" midget. Things got even better when I acquired a Bergantino NV115 in a trade to partner it. What would it sound like with two of them? Not really worst but most mistaken purchase was probably the 2 x10" cab from BC's favourite supplier. Nothing technically wrong with it but it just didn't do it for me. It must be my defective hearing.
  12. Yes RS77LD 45 - 105
  13. For the material you are playing Michael I would suggest a set of Rotosounds. I have a set on my '73P and they sound and feel just right. If you want to test the tension then you are welcome to pop over. I remember Billy Sheehan saying at the BGS a couple of years ago that 90% of hit records were recorded with a Fender P and Rotosound strings.
  14. Phil bought some Bare Knuckle pickups. It was a smooth flawless transaction. Thanks Phil.
  15. Most will know what these are otherwise from their advertising blurb: Powerful Bass Performance The Bare Knuckle '58 Split P Bass Pickup Set provides a strong bass tone thanks to the hand wound 42AWG plan enamel wire. The Split P offers a more controlled high end and slightly scooped mid. With a higher output, the pickup generates a stronger performance that packs a relentless punch. Features A vintage hot split coil bass pickup offering an exceptional punch Suitable for multiple genres including blues, country, jazz, and reggae Flat profile with hand bevelled Alnico V magnets to cancel out hum Solid black appearance Alnico V magnets arranged with opposing wind direction and magnetic polarity Scatter-wound enamel wire to create a stronger tone in the bass Specifications Colour: Black Output: Vintage Hot DC: 11.6KΩ * Magnet: Alnico V These were only fitted for a short while and never gigged. £65 posted.
  16. Valve Overdrive Pedal without Power Supply Runs on 9-12-volts AC or 12-18-volts DC. Comes fitted with 6N2 valve but can be changed to 12AX7/ECC83. £25 posted or swap w.h.y?
  17. Both sold pending the usual.
  18. Stew, when you daisy chain cabs together the speakers are connected Cable#1 Amp(1+) -> Cab#1(1+) Amp(1-) -> Cab#1(1-) Cable #2 Cab#1(1+) -> Cab#2(1+) Cab#1(1-) -> Cab#2(1-) This puts the two cabinets in parallel, so if both cabs are 8-ohms then the total impedance that the amp see is 4-ohms. If you want to put the cabs in series so the total impedance is now 16-ohms then you need to make a special cable that goes. Amp(1+ -> Cab#1(1+) Cab#1(1-) -> Cab#2(1+) Cab(#2(1-) -> Amp(1-) The box does this internally and allows you to use regular Speakon cables to connect them up.
  19. Bought for a now redundant pedal board project this T-Rex Fuel Tank Chameleon is as new. It has never been out of the house and has never been gigged. To quote T-Rex, the Fuel Tank Chameleon offers all the advantages of other Fuel Tank power supplies, plus an unprecedented 4 separate voltage options. 6 separate outlets (use up to 5 simultaneously) Your choice of 9V DC, 12V DC, 18V DC or 12V AC power Isolated, 300mA outlets (1,500mA total) Switchable 115V or 230V mains Comes with original packing and all the original cables which are unused. £80 posted to the UK.
  20. Ergonomically these are great however although I've tried to like them I far prefer my Berg 12" and NV115 cabs. Effectively brand new (used only a few times at rehearsal) Barefaced One10 and Barefaced cover. Black Metal Grille version. Original shipping box and all paperwork. I have 2 of these for sale. £290 each. Can ship at cost or meet within reasonable distance of GU10. Consider trades involving Bergantino CN112, Vanderkley EXT112, Barefaced Super Midget, Barefaced Super Compact or perhaps other cabs using 12" or 15" speakers. Quilter not for sale.
  21. Your QSC will be fine in bridged mode driving your 6-ohm cab. Some years ago I used to use a QSC PLX-1602 to drive a 3x10 (5.33-ohm cab). Never had a problem and loads of headroom. The RM-1450 has the potential to deliver in excess of 1000-watts into your cab, it just depends how far you are prepared to wind up the volume control.
  22. Excuse if this is obvious but why do you need a separate DI box when the DWZ receiver has a balanced XLR out?
  23. After years of playing without effects I've finally got around to building myself a pedalboard. Nice aand compact at 440mmm x 240mm.
  24. I had a similar requirement last year and ended up using a Markbass Nano. I seem to remember that SWR produced a half rack power amp. What sort of power are you wanting?
  25. Interesting however your web site gives neither dimensions nor price so how can I compare it with others?
