    How would you describe the difference in sound? Lovely cabs by the way! Eude

    18V to 9V Adapter

    eude replied to eude's topic in Effects

    I'm going very much all Rockboard here, so a single Rockboard daisy chain cable should do the trick... https://www.rockboard.de/kabel-und-verbindungen/rockboard-flat-daisy-chain-cable-2-outputs-angled-rbo-cab-power-dc2-a Thank you for your help folks! Eude

    18V to 9V Adapter

    eude replied to eude's topic in Effects

    Ah right. The 9V outputs are all 150 mA. I hadn't considered daisy chaining... All the pedals are fairly standard offerings, couple of tiny TC Electronic ones too, perhaps I could daisy some of them. Eude

    18V to 9V Adapter

    eude posted a topic in Effects

    Hi guys, I'm planning a new pedalboard, and I need to power pedals, maybe 10 in the future, but don't want to go too crazy on the PSU. There's a nice Rockboard one, that has 8 X 9V and 2 X 18V outputs, is there anything out there that will allow me to adapt the 18V down to 9V? There's the Truetone V189, but it states "This cable is designed for use with the Truetone 1 SPOT PRO power supply" one various websites where its for sale. Anyone got any ideas? Cheers, Eude

    Can I be cheeky and ask what this cost all in? Really glad it's working out well for you, they're extremely appealing, especially the new 18" scale model. Eude

    Bass designs

    Warwick Thumb is another example of a bass with an exaggerated reach. I played one for many years, but I had to wear it very low to bring 1st position within easier reach when playing on a strap.

    Bass designs

    eude replied to Si600's topic in Build Diaries

    Personally, I love single cut designs, so much so now that I actually find non single cuts a little funny looking As mentioned above by a few folks, the extended shape comes from accommodating the additional scale length you get with a bass, when compared to a Les Paul or a Tele. All of that is moot is you play seated of course, but on a strap it REALLY matters, especially for us shorter bassists. You can get single cut basses, with more guitar proportioned bodies, Gibson make, or made a Les Paul bass for a while, with a marginally oversized Les Paull guitar shape, but it didn't sell well at all, like most Gibson basses sadly. I think in part that flopped due to the neck dive and extended reach for first position. Ultimately, I think single cut basses, esepcially modern style ones will forever be THE martime of the bass world. I love them, but oddly I hate martmite... The offset thing, the original marketing for the Jazz Bass noted that it was "offset" as one of the main USPs, so I have no idea why Fender seem to omit it from their more recent offset marketing strategy...

    Yup, absolutely terrible logo.

    Really nice specs dude. Have you got an ETA? I expect it's a more complex build than the usual basses they make. Eude

    Nice. What's the specs? Eude

    Although I'm a dyed in the wool Ashdown fan, I have the tiny wee Warwick practice combo, the BC10 and for the size and cost of it, it's marvellous! It wouldn't ever keep up with a band, but it's got enough going on to play with acoustic guitars and singers, anything unamplified. I expect the larger Warwick combos are even better. I would certainly explore the Ashdown Studio combos if your budget can stretch though, as I expect they're incredible! Eude

    Ha ha, significantly, sadly. However, I think with the increasing costs of US factory made Fenders, their Professional II and Ultra branded basses are actually in the same ball park! Eude
  14. eude
    I would agree that the above applies in your more common or garden factory made bass, i.e. when comparing a Mustang to a Precision bass. As soon as you talk about hand made basses, none of that can really be applied as you're not comparing apples with apples. I would argue that, just for example, a 30" 5 string Serek would likely have a better B string than a 34" factory made Fender Jazz 5 string. Just my 2p Eude

    The price on those Miezo basses is fantastic, the ETS bridge unit and tuner block alone would take up a very big chunk of the $480 asking price!

    If you want flats, try out TI Flats too, they are wonderful strings!

    Another vote for Netwtone here. LaBella do very nice short scale strings too by all accounts, but with Newtone, they can wind specifically for your needs. I play 31.5" scale basses and Neil winds a set based around a 0.100 E for me, designed to feel more like a 0.105 set, of that makes sense? Heavier, hex core I think is the trick They''re also wound to the exact length I need so the wrap round the tuner doesn't upset the witness point on the nut. Lots of clever stuff can be done to get the absolute best out of a short scale instrument when you know the right folks Eude

    I think that construction and string technology has really come a long way recently, so I think a shorter scale bass makes for a great proposition now, they're not just plummy sounding "beginner" basses any more. I do think that there being so many of them all of a sudden has a chunk to do with them being trendy, but I don't think they will recede back to how things were a few years ago. I personally have gone shorter, 31.5" in my case, and I really can't see any negatives. Eude

    That's a really cool bass! I think that some folks have now realised that a bass doesn't have to be huge to still be a bass. There was a classic, weird little bass back in the 60's/70's, not quite sure when, which was regarded as a wonderful bass for recording when you needed that big thick short scale tone, the Airline Pocket Bass, which has recently been reissued by Eastwood >> https://eastwoodguitars.com/collections/bass/products/airline-pocket-bass That's a 26.5" bass, and they haven't struggled to sell them. Modern pickup technology, modern strings and considered construction have made it possible to create super usable, yet compact and easy to play instruments that sound great! I hope we see a lot more of these wee beasties! Are you going to make yourself another one like your last one? Cheers, Eude
  20. eude
    Is 26.5" too short to join in? Eude

    My Oh My! What a stunning bass! Eude

    Thanks for the heads up @BassBunny, but it's not quite the right thing. The factory built NEO combo is smaller, lighter, it also has a tweeter and different porting. This is a fantastic combo, but I really need something that wee bit smaller so I leave it in the living room Good luck with the sale @funkydoug Cheers, Eude

    I saw it on Instagram, sounds fantastic! Be interested once you get it to see if Jake's managed to make Dunlop manufacture a medium scale low B string... Hopefully it arrives very soon! Eude

    Love it, I actually prefer that design, and I much prefer a bolt-on single cut too Amazing.

    If you fire it off to Ashdown, it's probably the typical Class D circuit breaker problem, my, MiBass 2.0 had it, same symptoms, nothing from the speakers, but the headphone out worked. Or of course, anyone who buys it could Eude
