yeah, i reckon the simplicity wins tbh! Mark at bass direct has been AMAZING and quite prepared to help as much as he can so thats ace. My gut is saying the F1. The Hutlle is really great, but i reckon the markbass is just more 'me!'

heh heh sorry dude

aarararararaghghghghg!!!!! Ive got the 9.0 and its great but i cant help thinking id be better off with the F1?? Id like to boost the low mid and cut the top, and the VPF is just so easy, compared to the shuttle. Im not sure the shuttle will be any louder either tbh. stuck now!!, Mark has kindly said he'll exchange but im so not sure and no band rehearsals for a fortnight so im doing all my figuring out off running it backline only at an open mic gig with the midget T (and at home in the half hour before the nipper gets in!) what to do!!!!! Grrrr!!!!

glad you liked it dude

Great post. Having just passive jazz basses does somewhat limit me tonally. I've done the active thing to death and come full circle. Although should funds ever allow I do fancy another go with an audere.

No it's always there. I did think about another wizard but thought I'd see what else comes up.

Ok folks, you all know the bass, the infamous blue jazz, (look left if you don't) which at present is sporting a rather tasty wizard GAFfer in the neck which is a split coil humbucker for those 'I'm a p bass moments' The bridge pup is a US standard jazz. But I'm getting an awful clacky, 'quacky' upper mid which is quite unpleasent. Slapping really suffers for it. So I'd like something more 'scooped' sounding to take that bark back a bit but not at the expense of that treble bite. Possibly a humbucker to match the GAFfer? My first thought was a quarter pounder but whatcha reckon? It's gotta be passive and fit in the hole and not be uber money like nordy or something. Listen to lounge fly in my sig for an idea about the tones I use in that band, although that's by no means the best indicator but it's all I have online right now Cheers indeedy

What about an auralex gramma pad?

Ive had some reversed wires to the colours i took out before now from wizard

I'd love a neox210 one day

Sounds cool I've managed another twenty minute and managed to eq my way back to near flat with an upper mid cut. Much less eq needed than the lm2

The p5110 is 500w into 4 ohms, each cab is rated at 8 ohms 250w. So just the head and cab or combo who'd only get you 250w. When I buy it again, and intend to I'll forget the combo (too heavy) and I don't like the little cable poking out the back affair, and instead go for two of the p110c cabs and the head...better and lighter!

The promethean p110 cab is fab. Only 250w but very loud and punchy. And when it came time to sell I'd snap your hand off. I owned the promethean stack briefly and loved it. I'm using a midget T with a shuttle 9 as of yesterday (my compact is still at our guitards) I've only been able to use it in the house so far but I'm very pleased. I'd say though that when talking about 900w heads and 600w cabs at these small sizes it's still a very compromised sound at volume ime. It's not the same as running larger kit. BUT ive found It's loud enough and worth it once the load out comes round!

Well the shuttle 9.0 arrived, if it dosnt work out next stop is the iamp micro!! I managed five minutes at bedroom volume into my midget t. At that low volume it needed a fair bit of treble boost and sounded very punchy and flexible. I don't find the switches too extreme at low volumes but we'll see. I do miss separate low and hi mid controls though. Only having a sweepable one sucks a bit cause I can't boost the low mid and cut the high. It's pick and choose! It felt loud so low on the dial although the preamp volume confused me, cause with the gain set low you loose load of volume anyway so it seems a tad redundant. Beautiful build, although goodness knows how I'm gonna get it to sit on top of the midget, on the handle side the handle is too high, and on the top it's too sloppy, and I found my sorbothane feet melted the finish !! Hmm maybe russ Andrews oak cone feet of something. A proper review will happen presently
