    what do we win if we guess what it is?

    [quote name='molan' timestamp='1429997282' post='2757107'] I always think one of the nice things about the for sale section is that you can browse around and might come across something interesting you'd not normally spot. Subdividing would take this away and the section could get a bit boring. I think it would hurt sales numbers too. [/quote] this - you start looking for a fender jazz to replace your squier- and before you know it you've gone through sandberg, sadowsky,valenti and are just putting the deposit down on your sei custom jazz.

    [quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1429984228' post='2756973'] You're not asking too much - a Super Midget will do that just fine! I don't know of any other cab as small or light with comparable output. [url="http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/Super-Midget.htm"]http://barefacedbass...uper-Midget.htm[/url] [/quote] business idea for you.... backpack harness for your super midget and/or retro210 - I imagine some kind of cover with handles and the 210 would be an easy lug

    wow that's stunning looking thing!

    [quote name='DanH71' timestamp='1429975711' post='2756884'] I know, sin car isn't the best but I hope to learn. For now I need a small lightweight no I can lug on/off buses and trains.. I understand some sacrifice is needed in power output, so if I could find a 300/400W single driver lightweight solution that would be great. [/quote] it's not the power in specs that are of interest- it's the amount of volume that the cab can give out with that power....

    looks stunning.

    [quote name='philw' timestamp='1429552331' post='2752540'] My memory of the 80s is that [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Tokai was the brand that finally pushed Fender into the arms of Japanese manufacturers. I think the first Squires are actually re-bedged Tokais. In other words, 80s Tokais are actually early MIJ Fenders.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]P[/font][/color] [/quote] Fender Japan was from the greco factory - not tokai

    that could have been a link to ANYTHING!

    I loved this bass. Does it still have the agiular circuit - just I think it had quite a rare/expensive Fishman voltage doubler on the power clip.
  11. LukeFRC
    could always go the other way - barefaced IEM....

    [quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1429628082' post='2753392'] It depends on if you want one big cab or some smaller ones? And how loud you need to go. Walkabout into one Two10 won't be exactly quiet! [/quote] Something to try then! [quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1429628082' post='2753392'] From the logical engineering perspective I thought we'd solved most bass guitar amplification challenges as well as can be expected - but if there are more unsolved ones then I'd like to know and I'll see what I can suggest! [/quote] from an engineering perspective maybe - but it's the design problems out there that are interesting. If I had the $$ a powered cab with DSP and a couple of preamps for it would possibly be the way I would go
  13. LukeFRC
    the 4x12 you mentioned sounds interesting. out of interest... if you had a mesa walkabout... 300w at 4ohms, 160w or so at 8 ohms, can push it to 2ohms if needed... which barefaced would you suggest? the retro 610? two retro210. It might be as interesting to ask peoples problems and see if there is a barefacedsolution to them (which gives you more engineering latitude than folk predetermining that they want a certain size driver or so on)
  14. LukeFRC
    250k you're sticking the pot in the pickup side of the preamp- after your blend pot, it's going to be a variable resistor going to earth, your signal from that will then going into the preamp and straight out to the jack.
  15. LukeFRC
    This one... powersoft digimod amp module. Big warm tight bottom end. Think clean valve amp tonewise The new one icepower amp module (like most other bass amps) tighter bottom end - more like markbass but with a better sound further up the spectrum.

    [quote name='Bassistclem' timestamp='1428947944' post='2746305'] Sure you're correct but just want to confirm that the amp is definitely 500w into 4ohm minimum and not 2ohm into each channel . The only one I can find on tecamps website says 500w into 2ohms and 350 into 4ohms. Cheers. [/quote] its the powersoft version so sounds nicer and is 4 ohms min per channel or 1000w into 8ohms if bridged. Will has it going into a single fearful cab for pretty much the ultimate rig!
  17. LukeFRC
    I find that the input on whatever amp makes a big difference. Some amps don't like active basses as much I've found.
  18. LukeFRC
    Nice tiled floor btw
  19. LukeFRC
    Wow surprised to see this up will!
  20. LukeFRC
    I know she said you were up for a swap of something or the other. Good if you to drive all that way too!

    [quote name='owen' timestamp='1428172027' post='2738835'] You could always sell the Walkabout [/quote] that would be a fun one to convince the wife of... so you know how I had all the different bass amp 'boxes'? Yes and I sold them and got that one small one? Yes the green one that looks pretty and is small and light? Yes... well im selling that to try and get something else. oh is it cheaper? No Is it lighter? No Smaller? No... so when youve done that is that all you need? Er no then you need a preamp didnt you have one of them to start with? Er yes.

    second time today I've posted "I could have bought that if it were on the market before I got my Walkabout!"

    [quote name='Sumbabba' timestamp='1427974623' post='2736504'] Yes I do but I can't discuss that here or else I'll break the house rules. The final price is £1250, if you can give me that before Tuesday then it yours! [/quote] aww shucks I could have stretched to that a couple of months ago before I got my walkabout.
  24. LukeFRC
    [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1427663603' post='2732872'] I have to agree with RhysP... what can you get for £400 used; likely as not a better combo. [/quote] Warwickhunt and I would tell you the GK RB series combos are pretty awesome
  25. LukeFRC
    [quote name='Wooks79' timestamp='1427575998' post='2731978'] Too loud. Unnecessary! [/quote] I dinnae mean that! I meant from each other. The matamp looks nice
