    That one'll probably be fine... It doesn't have isolated outputs though, but you probably won't need them. If you want to buy one supply now that'll fit under a nano, has isolated outputs, and don't mind spending more on the premium stuff, look up these:

    • Cioks DC5 / DC7
    • Truetone CS6
    • Strymon Ojai R30

    Thank you..

    yes.. this one is quite cool

  2. Hello guys,

     

    I need a help... I'm planning to do myself a "in ear" pedalboard which will be very simple:

    aguilar tonehammer - compressor (mxr m87 probably) - tuner (boss pedal tuner)

    I would like to put this on a pedaltrain nano and would like to run everything through a Xvive v19 (https://www.thomann.de/gb/xvive_v19_micro_power.htm) power supply  (putting the tonehummer in the 18v input and the other 2 pedals in the 9v inputs).

    Will be there enough power or is better to leave the aguilar tonehammer having it's own "power" using it's original power supply ?

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

  3. As said yesterday was a nice evening. Had the possibility to try some wonderful bass heads. At the end it was a tough choice. Let's say I didn't have any "personal favs". Every amp sounded great that's a thing that has to be said. I've tried them with the Mesa powerhouse 410 box, then (not pictured) with my Schroeder Mini 12+ boxes and then recorded them directly through the Focusrite in the DAW. To cut short I'll put it this way:
    The GK is a great all rounder ('been my main amp for 4 years) and a covers all the tones of those other amps (so I'll keep it as a backup).
    The Aguilar lets the instrument come out, has a great warm tone, scoped a little in the mids so if I had to chose just one amp (fortunately not) that would be the Aguilar for shure.
    Speaking of the Darkglass it just sounds somehow organic and full, the MIDs selection is super useful at least for my playing plus the feature of their overdrives incorporated is fantastic. Not to speak about the power which is massive.
    The Mesa is a great amp but at my taste too scooped, everything just sound huge, "amplified", the mids just booms out, lots of headroom... reminds me somehow of the Ampeg heads with more clarity. The basses sounded HUGGGE through the Mesa head, but if you tweak a bit the Darkglass and the Mesa sounded similar.
    So ... said that I do own the Gk and the Darkglass which I'll keep. Since I'm planning to switch, at least for some situations, to the IEM system I will buy myself a Tonehammer pedal DI and then basically this will cover everything I need. For now.

    Basses used: Fender Precision Custom Shop '64 reissue relic, Sadowsky Rv5 metro

  4. A bit of a feeler here since some musical projects are coming along that really makes the 5 string something that won't be used. If nothing comes along I'm keeping it since, out of 5 Stingrays that I've owned, this is by far the best one.

    Music Man Stingray (built in March 1991 - email from Music Man after giving them the serial number).
    Wonderful birds eye maple on the board.
    Honey burst color.

    In excellent condition, hard case included.

    Incredible Low B, sounds like a Music Man should.

    The condition is 9/10 since some bumps are present here and there (hard to notice and can picture them on request).

    Trades possible:

    - Music Man Stingray ONLY 4 strings. ONLY from (let's say) 1985 to 1995. No '00 please since I had a hard time "finding the sound that I want" on this ones. Maple neck is absolutely a winner but might consider rosewood too.

    - Music Man Stingray classic, ONLY 4 string and ONLY maple neck

    - Would consider also a good ash/maple jazz type bass 5 string (think Fender Jazz American Deluxe, Elite,...)

    Price, since being put as a trade and it's referred to the value I give to this instrument, IS NOT negotiable. Might consider some cash addition for the "right one".

    Shipping at buyers cost or we will arrange.

    As said as long as something nice comes along we can discuss. Please no other trades and also I'm not willing to sell it since it's really a nice sounding bass in excellent condition.

     Thanks for looking
