TC Electronics BG250 series combos, but my personal favourite is the 208 variant with 2x8” speakers. You often see them pop up on here around the £150 mark.

That looks like the “easier” fix -
I do like the new blue on the EVO V

Not last night but earlier today. Played the new Tyneside Americana and Blues Festival this afternoon with Ten Bob Blind, our female fronted Americana/Country band. The festival was organised over three days with three stages all within a local social club. The festival was really well attended with over 400 attending each day. Lucked out with the provided back line, an Eden World Traveller head and Markbass 2x10 supplied by the PA guy who was also a bass player so I had a lush sound both on stage and FOH. Hopefully this festival will become a regular on the national calendar 🤞

I have an old iPad I use for the X-Air and to get around the account problem, I just created a second Apple account using a different email address. The only apps on that iPad aside from the standard built-in stuff is the Behringer app which I still prefer over MS. For break music, I use my normal Apple account from my phone over Bluetooth to my Apple AirPort Express that I use for the X-Air.

This will be me Sunday afternoon opening the Blues Matters stage with our little female fronted Americana/Country combo “Ten Bob Blind”. A bit of fretless bass and EUB tomfoolery. If you happen to be in attendance please do come and say hi (no heckling mind 😂)

The quietest passive bass I own is the one where I shielded the pickup cavities and the control cavity with copper tape and connected all the shields together with the bridge earth and to the earth lug of the output jack. Not even a badly wired fluorescent light will affect it.

My OCD says you have to put the same washer under the volume pot as well please 😵💫

Whilst I am not desperate to sell this bass, I could do with the space so I will listen to sensible offers. If you think I am off with the asking price, shoot me a pm - I will not be offended 😎 -
No I haven’t, unfortunately life got in the way and whilst I haven’t given up, I bought a Vanderkley 2x12 to fill the gap in my cab arsenal in the interim.

You have 6 aux buses routed out of the box to the six aux out xlrs. The standard headphone out is either your left right main outs or a solo’d channel. You can route one of your six aux busses to the headphone out but you then disable that bus aux out. Hope this helps?

+1 for the Behringer B205D. Played a support gig a little while ago and the headline acts bassist was using one with his db and he kindly offered to let me try it. It was one of those tight little stages where you are almost stood/sat on your amp, so having this thing at ear height was a godsend. He obviously knew it well and had the eq spot on and it produced a surprising amount of bass from its 5” speaker. Plus points I could clearly hear every note I played, downsides I could clearly hear every note I played. Note to self, stop prattling around on the internet and practice more instead 😂

Truly beautiful. Please record a few sound clips for us when you can, for us fellow Overwater nuts.

Calling @Blartfactor10 - clean up aisle 9

As I’m feeling festive, how about a whopping £50 price reduction, so this great acoustic/electric bass plus the case for just £550
-
I have no need for this. I already have way too much stuff. But I want this so bad 😂
-
I must admit I thought the attraction of a Wal was the active circuit. Given that this one is passive and it’s been butchered to an add a J pickup I can’t see it being worth anything like the asking price.

I have (had) a T-Bone IEM100 which appears to now be the property of our singer 😂 She loves the in-ear mix/experience and is using the ubiquitous ZX10 pro’s with the T-Bone. No issues with drop outs or interference apart from the time she forgot to plug in the aerial 🤦♀️

Yesterdays gig (Sunday) was in the lounge of an ‘old school’ working mans club in what we still refer to as a ‘pit village’ despite the fact their pit closed in the 1980’s. This is a regular gig for us that we play twice a year. It’s always well attended and yesterday was no exception despite it being the first full weekend of the new year. Played to around 100 enthusiastic punters who get the band and our choice of music. Some idiot (that’ll be me then) forgot to pack the reel of XLR cables so we were ‘back line only’ which meant a lot more stage volume than normal, but the audience didn’t seem to mind. Another plus was the drummer going in-ears - he’s now a convert so that’s three down two to go towards getting the whole band on IEM’s 😎

My rig from yesterdays gig. Ashdown “Head of Doom” Geezer Butler signature with Vanderkley 212MNT. Bloody lovely 😎
-
First chance to gig the Vanderkley today. Because some idiot (that’ll be me then) forgot to pack the reel of XLR’s we were back line only out front. The room was a moderate sized social club lounge sitting around 150 folk. The Vanderkley filled the room beautifully and the Ashdown Geezer was hardly ticking over 😎

Sadowsky Metro Express - Waterslide decal replacement and refinish
JPJ replied to carlsim's topic in Build Diaries
If it’s a water slide decal I normally mist a couple of coats of sealer over the decal before I immerse in water to do the slide bit. Stops the decal curling up as much in the water making the sliding part a lot easier. -
If I’ve read the OP correctly, I think the question is does anybody else double between DB and fretless electric bass. If I’m right, then I do this every gig with my country/Americana band, albeit the DB is an NS EUB but 42” scale. I have no problem transitioning between the two, just make sure the side dots on the fretless bass are ‘on the frets’ as against between the frets which you can see on some defretted basses.
