Fast Fret is the answer.
-
It has handles on both sides as well as the top so it’s easy to move around. Dimensions are in the BF site, so measure your car!

I love mine. I don’t miss a tweeter. The top end of the freq range is very similar to an Ampeg 8-10 so if you would be happy with that top end you’ll have no trouble. Sound dispersion is excellent, just don’t stand too close to it as it will be firing at your legs. I tend to put mine in the corner so it’s a bit further away from me, and everyone can hear it equally. It sounds fine in the house too. The wheels are good and it’s very light.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a tapered B flat. -
I want to use 2 amps with one bass....HELP...please...

An LPF? -
@Crawford13 It's this one:
-
I've always found the D-Tuner to be really accurate as long as the unit itself is well lubed, and the nut is cut right and smooth.
-
A jazz band arrangement of Bruno Mars' "Runaway Baby" It's quite easy but fun to play.
-
I emailed Alex - he says that if there is a difference between them with the Tweeter off then they can't hear it! Need to raise some money now then!
-
GAS means adding to the collection. Never reduce it! I don't make the rules!

1: Depends on the bass. If the balance is marginal now, then the extra weight can be an issue. You could remove all the tuners and replace them with Ultralights so the added mass of the D-Tuner is offset by the others being replaced for a much lighter option. That's what I did. 2: Nothing you'd notice 3: Some people go for a heavier E some do not. Billy Sheehan uses a 110 E string. I'm happy with a 100. But I don't play very hard. 4: If you only use it occasionally it will take longer to get used to than if you use it a lot. 5: Unless you are looking at a 4 string that has a sound that you cannot replicate on your existing 5, or you want a 4 because of a comfort issue then I'm not sure it's worth the effort as you already have the 5. Unless GAS obviously. GAS wins every time even for stuff we don't need.

Selling my Markbass Marcus Limited Goldline 800 amp head (the cab went already, so ignore that and the wireless unit) as my tonal tastes have changed a bit lately and I'm using my other amps. Full details are here: http://www.markbass.it/product-detail/marcus-limited-800/ Basically, it's a powerful 800W amp with a really versatile EQ system that has a 5 band regular EQ (with tonal centres that are much more sensible than the 4 band on the regular LM series) and then a Parametric from 500hz to 12Khz, and the "Old School" variable low pass filter if you want to get, err, old school. 4 ohms minimum load. It works perfectly, sounds great with a variety of cabs, and will do everything from old reggae / dub through to Miller's super bright tone, if you have a cab with a tweeter in it. And just as important - it looks like Iron Man's colours! The price includes the Markbass amp bag that is an optional extra that cost me nearly £60 at the time. I'll do a photo of my actual one in a bit, but this is a STOCK photo. http://www.markbass.it/media/filer_public_thumbnails/filer_public/2c/0b/2c0b27f5-9949-41dd-8131-7f3239aa682e/markbass_amp_bag_small.jpg__1980x1980_q85_subsampling-2.jpg The bag is designed to leave the amp in it while the amp is in use. Just unzip the front and rear flaps. Price: £450 including the bag, collected from Northants where it can be tried out. Insured postage is available on top if you need it delivered. It's light enough to sent using Royal Mail Special Delivery. -
Would it not be easier to stick a preamp in it if you like it other than the passive bit? -
Any reviews of the One10T? When the Tweeter is turned down does it still sound like the regular One10? I'm thinking about one for when my Super Twin is a bit silly. ta
-
I had a pair for ages. I really liked them. I sold them when I got a Super Twin which I also love, but I'm thinking about getting another One10 for when the ST is a bit silly to take with me.
-
I found that the playing wasn't the thing I had to get used to. The weird thing was that if I did NOT look at the fretboard I was fine. But if I did I got lost. In my regular gig I do a lot of reading so I don't get the chance to look so that went well, but I need to learn to not look at the board at all!

Pickup height is very important. My PJs are both Ibanez. One has the stock pickups and the other has EMGs. On both the P pickup has loads more output than the J. That's partly because a P is just more powerful, but also because at the point it is sensing the strings the string movement is massive compared to where the J is. My J pickups are raised very high until the point where there is about 1mm string clearance when the last fret is fretted. Then I adjust the P height to get similar levels when swapping between them. The P will be lower but probably not as low as you might expect so will keep the lovely P tone fully. Works for me!
-
I'm loving my medium scale basses so much I'm actually beginning to think about selling off the long scales. Took me about 30 years to find the perfect P bass for me and now I'm not playing it! Decisions, decisions!
-
Ooooo! Shiny things!
-
Mmmm. 12db / oct doesn't seem to be a strong enough cut.
-
I like my Thumpinator - but can anyone recommend a variable HPF? Ideally a modestly priced one?
-
I sometimes run my Hotone into my BF Super Twin. It sounds fantastic and is surprisingly loud for such a tiny amp.
-
Another vote for the Barefaced one10
-
Sounds like intonation to me. Is the 12th fret when fretted the same as the harmonic? or is it sharp or flat?
-
GAS is very real. To be honest I am convinced that cocaine would be a cheaper habit.
