A quick update - I've now got a MarkBass SA450 and rehearsed it along with my Compact cabs today. All good and a killer of an amp! Cheers, Jon.

Bought Myke's Mark Bass amp off him and it was a very fast and smooth transaction. Thanks for getting it to me so quickly, it is much appreciated. A highly recommended Basschatter. Cheers, Jon

Now those are seriously good looking! If only only I had more space and easier access to my flat then this is what I'd have gone for.

[quote name='Kongo' post='521312' date='Jun 22 2009, 11:35 PM']Why not get a DI box that has some EQ to it like the BassBone? Failing that, a head that puts DI signal post-EQ? But the whole idea does suck...Guitarists get mic'd yet we get DI well I dunno...COmpanies could think "Hey! Why not allow them their tone to come through the PA?" But then...the soundguy could hate your sound and EQ it his end so really, it's pointless.[/quote] Indeed - I have the Sadowsky D.I. pedal and it works well in being an 'adjustable' D.I. The thing with live sound is that even the Guitards will more than likely be gated/eq'd/compressed/limited to oblivion anyway so you are always at the sound persons mercy. This is where the Mate with a bit of sound nouse comes in handy - he/she can stand near to the soundman and speak for you!

[quote name='dabootsy' post='520971' date='Jun 22 2009, 06:22 PM']...My point is whats the point Do you think I should just give up thinking?[/quote] IMO Yes & No. You are correct that in a large P.A. situation your bass amp is just on stage monitoring, so just enjoy it! We pay lots of dough for that rig. Just make sure your raw bass sound going into the D.I. is the best it can be. Obviously a gig where the bass is non-P.A. supported and all the sound is coming from your rig then that's best for everyone to enjoy your gear but then you get into mechanical coupling, acoustic coupling and sound dispertion issues! Cheers, JTB

Indeed! Got me thinking about a project again now! BTW what are the Fender '59 RI Precisions like? Have fancied one but never been able to try one! Cheers, Jon.

Nice one, a great rock machine in the making! You're not a Jazz player are you? Just wanted to check Jon

[quote name='Clarky' post='519324' date='Jun 20 2009, 02:36 PM']Flippin'eck Jon, that rig looks like it could move a Jumbo Jet![/quote] I reckon it could!

If you don't mind me asking - what did it cost "all in" for this project (i.e. the bass, all the work & parts/paint) It's a great bass you've ended up with and I'm well impressed. Cheers, Jon

Nice one Mike. Great bass and great playing. Jon

[quote name='d-basser' post='516600' date='Jun 17 2009, 04:43 PM']Might when the sound gives the rest of my band internal bleeding and we can't gig any more ...[/quote] Wanna know a secret? For a minute, way back when, I [i]nearly[/i] ordered 2 x Big Ones to put under the Boogie Can you even imagine? The only thing that stopped me was lack of storage space! JTB

Well done Clarky, what a bass! Bet it's even better in the flesh. (punk) rock n roll

Very nice Clarky! Do you like the Wizard A51 Stealth pickup? I'm loving the one in Sid. Cheers, JTB

Nice looking rig, wish I had the space to buy it and keep it! Have a look [url="http://www.gumtree.com/london/09/40504309.html"]HERE[/url] Let us know if you go for it! Cheers, Jon.
