Line 6 Sonic Port Plugs into your iOS device. I comes with the Mobile POD software but is also compatible with Amplitude (Free) - and then you can get an excellent Ampeg B15 sound. Amplitude will grab tunes from your iTunes library so you can play along I use mine all the time - great bit of kit

Jimmy bought my Fishman Platinum Pro-EQ bass preamp. Great comms, paid fast and let me know it arrived ok. All good!

Lots to investigate!

[quote name='cybertect' timestamp='1444127456' post='2880447'] 80 lb (36.2 Kg) apparently, according to the OP on TB. [/quote] That's impressive. I used to run a pair of Marshall VBC412 cabs - they were 110 lb each. Never again!

Quarter Pounders for me. Nice and chunky.

I was thinking of a tuner, compressor, envelope filter and drive - all on a Pedal Train Nano. Are there any Multi FX that are smaller?

I think I'm going to put together a mini board to try and get the whole thing as light as possible. Obviously I'll need to buy some small pedals. Oh well!

Take off 1 tuner (including the bushing) and weigh it. Then you can compare with the Hipshot weights. Ibby tuners are quite light anyway, they may not be light enough to make a difference you want to pay for. On a trad bass with big plate tuners swapping to Ultralites can save half a pound on a 5 string!

Got any pics?

I can play DB a little bit - but I'd never get one in the house or the car (at least not with the kids in it as well). I'll have to start seeing what I can offload.

I don't have to think if I get a piano score. Pesky pianos go to deep for a 4.

Talk me out of getting into serious marital trouble... I have severe gas for an MB2. DB sound, 6.5 lb... Surely there is something negative about them? Please!!!!!!

If I swap basses I hear the clear difference immediately. If I swap cables I don't hear a difference. A Precision will sound like a precision through any amp or cable. The very best a passive cable can do is to let the signal through as cleanly as possible. It cannot improve the signal. To claim otherwise is audiotardery. Changing from rounds to flats causes a far bigger change than cables!

Finally used mine in anger with a Puma 300 head and a Marleaux Consat Custom 5. Orchestra rehearsal this morning. Tunes included Pink Panther, Peter Gunn Theme, How deep is your love, Batman theme etc The little cab didn't miss a beat. Sounded clear and powerful, and the low B was stunning. Very very pleased!

[quote name='SolomonHelsing' timestamp='1443873865' post='2878352'] I guess Drunk Rugby Fans = Profit and that's all that landlady cares about, instead of credibility with bookings etc [/quote] Considering the crap income levels of most pubs these days if they didn't care about profit then they won't be there much longer anyway. Did you have a contract that allows you to get part payment in the event of a late cancellation?

A great sound at 7.5lb is certainly making me think about getting out my wallet.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1443646067' post='2876646'] Hello! They're Precision flats. [/quote] Thank you. I fancy trying some.

WOT, which flats are they please? I see GHS have different types. Sounds lovely.

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1443560390' post='2875852'] According to the website, my Rob Allen MB2 is approx 6.5lbs. To be honest, it feels lighter. [/quote] I really want to try one of those!

hipshot ultra lites do that. Don't know about other brands.

GHS Pressurewounds are a lovely in-between string. They are rounds that have been squeezed to flatten the windings.

Is it any better than the tiny Planet Waves clip on?
