Tradfusion

Great little class D head, tons of warm and punchy tone and gobs of power as anyone who owns one will attest to... not getting used since I changed over to Phil Jones gear so its better with someone who will make use of it.. big thread about these over on Talkbass : https://www.talkbass.com/threads/nad-the-best-amp-ive-ever-heard-kustom-kxb500.1094234/

Fits in a laptop bag which is what I've been using and can include if required.. lovely condition.. UK or European shipping will be about £20.

I had the same set-up and I'd broadly agree with Paul's opinion.  I'd add that the Midget could take more lower frequencies very well via EQ.  Both are great cabs.

I don't have a Super Compact but I do have a BB2, which is a Super Compact with a horn, in a slightly bigger enclosure.  I also have a Super Midget.  If small size is your most important criterion, the Super Midget will do most gigs alone but again, with less bottom.

I prefer the BB2 though for the massive lows and sharper highs.  In my experience a BB2 (or Super Compact?) will do all pub gigs and most other gigs in hotel/club rooms.

I gigged my BB2 with a Quilter Bass Block 800 yesterday.  This was the first time using the Quilter with the BB2.  It's just astonishing how good this combination sounds.

Don't overlook the 10" range of cabs.  I have a pair of one10s and these are also superb cabs - beautiful tone and one will do in a small pub while a pair will handle bigger rooms or a louder band.

If you're ever up to Belfast, you'd be welcome to try the cabs.

Great info Frank cheers... I'll have to get ye a gig in Strandhill and you can bring them all down with you   Dave

Thats a good endorsement mate... I might be interested if you decide to sell the second one... drop me a PM any time

Yup.  I had a Compact and a Midget.  Compact was deep but lacked a tightness at the top end.  Midget was tight at the top but lacked bottom.  Together they sound brilliant.  I replaced these two with a Supercompact, which sounds like the two together in one cab.

I like the sound of that... and the smaller Super Compact is able to cope with the gigs where you used both Compact and Midget together?

Anyone had or tried both? apart from physical size is there much difference tonally?

Thats a beaut! 

Showing my age here but for me the album that really got me listening to the bass was Level 42's debut and self titled album from 1981... still love it after all these years... followed closely by New Gold Dream by Simple Minds in 1982, great tone and playing by Derek Forbes and more importantly most of the lines were simple enough to play along with for a young newbie at the time... I could go on all day but finally I think I need to mention Tin Drum by Japan from 1981...  Mick Karn weaving and diving on the Wal fretless... enough said!! 

The NS design CR4M is a great bass... I have an older one that I imported from the US many years ago.. I almost sold it on here a few times as the vast majority of my gigs were bass guitar and it seemed a shame not to be using it but in the end I couldn't get myself to part with it... tonally (mine still wears the original stock d'addario flatwound strings which many players seem to change out)  its really hard to make it sound bad and you can achieve a very tasty warm and punchy tone which though not an acoustic upright, to my ears is still far more DB than fretless electric unless you are using only the EMG's and purposely set the EQ to make it sound like a fretless.. the action is very easy to adjust and I keep mine fairly low because its just so comfortable to play... I pulled my CR4M out of the cobwebs recently to use on a recording and the engineer and all the other musicians absolutely loved the tone which was rich and creamy and just fitted the vibe of the song perfectly... I have both the tripod stand and the end pin and to be honest I'm not mad on either for a standing up gig so I found the most comfortable set up for me is the bass on the tripod but me sitting on a stool about 24 inches tall... I can get nice and comfortable in that position and really enjoy the bass... I'm very glad I didn't sell it now and I have since picked up a regular trad Irish/ folk gig which I'm getting to use the bass on and it always gets compliments on both the cool look and the rich tone...

Yeah the briefcase is lovely but too large and heavy (almost 13kg) to take on board a plane as cabin baggage which is ideally what I would like to be able to do... a bit of poking about and I discovered that the PJB Double 4 takes a DC input and can be powered up with a laptop battery... unfortunately has to be 18-20v so normal 12v batteries are no good but it looks closest to what I am describing and only weighs 4kg which makes it cabin friendly too... bit pricey but might be worth it... anyone got any experience of using the Double 4 in an unplugged session?

Bit of a tall order I know but I play bass (electric) regularly with a bunch of trad Irish musicians and occasionally we get to play abroad where most of the fun can be had during down time in local pubs, street busking or in hotel lobbies etc. In those situations a small battery powered combo would be very handy and allow me to join in the fun... I actually did own a little Roland micro cube 5w combo some time ago but found it woefully underpowered in a busy loud pub environment or even in quieter rooms when the accordian and fiddles etc stated to crank up... so I'm looking for something with a bit more grunt but that is still small and light enough to carry on board an aircraft and sounds reasonably OK... any suggestions welcome

Totally hassle free purchase, great comms from the beginning, posted pedal that same day, arrived in mint condition, extremely happy overall... highly recommended

just spotted this quote on the Barefaced FB page... might make the 210 more appealing to some people ... 'We've bloody done it! Switchable impedance Two10. 4 ohm when you're using it on its own, 12 ohm when you want to make a stack. Just flick the toggle switch on the back' !

Now sold

Top is a bit scratched but he pedal works perfectly, great auto wah / envelope filter for lots of funky bass vibes!! These are 100 euro new so grab a bargain!! Boxed...

and replied

I'd leave it alone with its current mojo... whoever requested that colour must have been fairly patriotic tho

Mint as new in its box, lovely little thing, I bought it a year ago to do a couple of outdoor gigs for a local busking festival using battery power and it excelled in that role... plenty loud enough to comfortably accompany some fairly excited trad musicians and acoustic guitar playing buskers etc.. it went back in its box a few days later and I've not used it since so its basically a brand new combo at a great price... This can also be used with mains power for home practice or for small acoustic type gigs and comes with mains cable...

I am based in Ireland but UK shipping should be fairly cheap, I'm guessing about a tenner...

How about a Chowny CHB-1
[/quote]

I second the Chowny... love mine

I use PJB C4 cabs, one or two depending on the gig... absolutely tiny but surprisingly loud and with plenty of low end to my ears... with any decent head and bass these little things sound great in most pub/club settings and should fit in even the smallest boot without much trouble

I just use a normal size padded gigbag for my Series 2 headless and its fine

These look like very nice fretless'es.. also interested in hearing how you get on with it

Not sure what your budget is but these are totally unique and offer UB-type sounds in a compact package (31.5" scale IIRC)! Michael G was one of the sponsors of our South-West Bass Bash in May and there was a huge amount of interest in his stuff. Personally I'd go for the slim-bodied version.

Lovely fretless... What sort of money are they?

[quote name='DDR' timestamp='1493898606' post='3291606']
thanks Dave that all sounds pretty good! I am wondering what the new sb60 will bring to the sound and volume... plastic back-body.... so shop seems in stock of the fretted one.
[/quote]

Oh thats a newer type... mine is 3 years old so its the older model with the spruce top and mahogany back... I'm sure the new one will still sound very nice because I think the strings are what make that warm double bass like tone anyway... good luck if you are buying one, I'm pretty sure you wont be disappointed
