    Fairly old amp at this stage, it has been very reliable but recently has started cutting out during gigs, not shutting down completely, just losing power at higher volumes and when digging in a bit during a tune.. suddenly the volume will drop or disappear completely for a few seconds then cut back in again.. this is happening all the time now so I've had to stop using the head for live gigs.. it appears to be fine at lower volumes so I can still use it at home etc... Just wondering what might be causing this issue? Not that I can repair it myself, I'm useless that way, but I would like to steer whoever I get to repair it in the right direction.. could it be a power supply issue maybe?

    I sold my RH450/RS210 rig several years ago to a local bass player... he recently gave up playing and was getting shot of all his gear so I bought the rig back for an embarrassingly small amount of cash just because it was such a good deal... know they have had their day in the sun at this stage but its still a great sounding rig for pretty much any genre and will cope with reasonably large rooms too... I'm very happy to have it back again 🙂

    Bought a Zoom MS60B from Bas... totally hassle free transaction and the pedal is great fun! Buy in confidence from this gentleman!

    Agree whole heartedly... mine is never out of my signal chain... most of the preset patches are very usable too, I especially love one called 'Motown' ... its perfect with a P Bass and flats and injects just the right amount of warmth, punch and sag for that 'old' tone if you like that kinda thing... best 40 quid I ever spent 🙂

    I have had one of these for a few years and I love it... its perfect for smaller gigs with EUB or double bass but no slouch with a regular bass guitar either, punchy and exceptionally clean... your bass will sound exactly like... your bass! .. I use mine for a weekly pub session with a bunch of (unamplified) trad Irish musicians and its the ideal combo for that kind of situation... GLWTS 🙂

    Gorgeous bass 🙂

    This is a Beauty.. and I totally agree with this comment, its by far the most logical way to mark a fretless neck and the easiest to play too.. always baffles me why so very few fretless boards are lined this way.. GLWTS

    I wonder how something like this would work for busking with a lower wattage combo, like 25-50w max? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Jackery-PowerBar-Portable-Generator-23200mAh/dp/B07CKSPVM8/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_60_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=32XPSDXCV73QJ693JDEJ

    Just bought a nice little mini fretless from Aidan... Fantastic comms from the start and he even insisted that I try the bass out before he would take any money from me... considering I live in Ireland and he had to pack and ship the bass to me first I thought this was a really nice gesture and very trusting indeed! The bass was well packed and arrived in good shape... I have no hesitation in recommending Aidan as a seller... top notch stuff!

    Hi... yes it really is incredibly comfortable to wear and play... its a normal 34" scale

    Having succumbed to some recent and unexpected vintage bass GAS I find myself needing to recoup some funds so I am selling my amazing lightweight Jake L 4P Classic Precision Bass from Maruszczyk Instruments in Germany. This is a superb bass in every way and weighs only 3.1kg ( just under 7lbs) making it extremely comfortable to play even for long periods, its like wearing a feather, seriously!! The bass is less than 1 year old and was bought new by me from Pierre Ganseman at https://bassfreaks.net/. Great warm and punchy P Bass tone from the Alder body combined with the Delano pickup, these really are extremely well made instruments as many members on here already know. Currently strung with nice new GHS Pressure wounds (rounds) which sound really great but I can put an almost new set of D' Addario chrome flats on if you prefer a more old school tone. Condition is pretty much as I bought it, in other words its absolutely mint, like new! This model is creeping up on £950stg for a new one nowadays so I think my asking price is very fair. The bass is located in Ireland but shipping to the UK and other European countries can be arranged in a used but very robust hard case. Any other questions please PM and I'll do my best to answer asap.. No trades I'm afraid, need the money on this occasion... Here is a video of this very bass being demonstrated by Adrian from Maruszczyk Instruments before it left his shop:

    Pretty much my experience as well.. my cab is a Barefaced Supercompact and the Quilter just delivers with any bass I plug into it.. I use the exact same settings as above with my Stingray or Jazz but I like to crank the gain a but more with my Precision in for a bit of that tubey sag.. great versatile amp and tons of volume on tap if required.

    another beauty 😛

    Reading through a similar thread over on TB and this pedal gets lots of love... http://www.barberelectronics.com/linden_compact.html It is just an EQ pedal though and not a preamp! Apparently it was discontinued but re-released again last year. The circuitry is described as emulating a B15, so warm and fat etc... its a nice compact size too... the only problem is that its in the US so will need to be shipped/imported etc and it also appears to be out of stock at the moment... sounds like it could be worth waiting for though?
  22. Tradfusion
    Oops just read this... I guess it will do B15 well then 😯
  23. Tradfusion
    Does the VT pedal do the B15 thing well (spongy, warm) or is it better at the SVT thing? I definitely prefer the B15 tone...

    I bought Bridgehouse's 4 string a few weeks back... extremely punchy and versatile instrument... I put a set of La Bella tapes on mine and the tone is rich and warm but still very defined... cant recommend theses basses highly enough!

    For once the DI doesn't worry me.. I want a standalone combo that can produce a reasonable bass tone and keep up with an unamplified acoustic guitar and a few traditional instruments (no drums) in a small pub or occasionally busking... the size, weight and possibility of running on battery power are uppermost in the pecking order on this occasion.. I want to be able to slot in to an acoustic session with my bass with minimal fuss, take up as little space as possible and be able to carry my full rig in and out in one go comfortably... apart from the Double Four there are very few other contenders that weight sub 5kg so this little combo is definitely still in the running ☺
