You would probably do better asking this in Amps and Cabs where the builders tend to hang out, but I'd say higher , probably 1.5-2.0 KHz. This is quite hard to do at the signal level and you'd probably struggle to build an analog pedal. It would make more sense to either use a Full-range rig like a PA cab, or buy one of the digital signal splitter pedals already on the market, for example KMA Tyler or XO Variable-Crossover.

Yes, I think you're probably right.

A BB1200 wouldn't have had a switch, and the jack socket would be where it is now. It would have been better to move the jack socket to the BB2000 position.

Look on the bright side, at least they didn't ask you to pay a share of the studio costs! This is not unheard of in the brass band world, although you'd normally only bring someone to a rehearsal if they were depping a gig later on.

Yamaha BB1200 , with Nordstrand P/J pickups fitted by Northwest guitars. Wonderful rather than weird. And not outrageously priced either. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116375582489?_skw=bass+guitar+yamaha&itmmeta=01JBV8MXH8TEAA1XYNDSWST6V0&hash=item1b18867719:g:4agAAOSwSipnIO2Q&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKlq%2BcAGFRtjcjw4OZuo4ntIyWvfbwdWLL557hB8FzztQ7%2FbL82Zt00e4A8mNqMw1kUoRfPMijg5aArH6Pz5Bk7K09rrcrMryqcYAUsslqzAHiTtfRgC5YxZs9O%2Fz8kwVqfKfhlB9wcOX0UsWojgmLi1gFUeyoFa01vdkATLz8NGNTLe09nX4f4toFHe5Wv1CW7C2sfKtA4tOu1b31EAOoQMbrCvKpXWb4OswB0FDpU%2Fw9OYmoPPHnK4isvLt2rL0M8%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR9rY0-jeZA

I've just been reading his obit. in the Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/nov/04/quincy-jones-musician-michael-jackson-producer-dies He lived a long life, and packed a huge amount into it. Truly a titan of the age.

You could do that, I'd be tempted to try driving the Blackstar rig from the Line Out first, that should work. I massively improved my Tecamp Puma 110 by replacing the High/Mid driver with a better quality unit and installing a proper crossover instead of the capacitor that Tecamp provided - I think the Eich unit is substantially the same design.

Presumably this is not an issue for parallel effects loops since you still have a signal path which bypasses the loop? I've also had success with spraying some switch cleaner on a jack plug and putting it into the socket a few times to lubricate the contact. This is a temporary bodge, leaving a cable there is a permanent bodge!

@gixasix you don't state your location, but if you're anywhere near Colchester Peach Guitars would be well worth a visit. Their selection is vast.

Pickups look a little bit like Delano.

These are not far from me: https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-bass-amplifiers/bass-cabinets-trace-elliot-£200-ono-vgc/1486968622

Yes, just about. I asked Presto about it, and they suggested that I resined the strings as well as the bow. This works, and you can get the resin off afterwards with isopropyl alcohol.

Presto Lights or Ultralights might be a good choice if you like the sound. THey're quite low tension and they also work with a magnetic pickup if that's a requirement. I'm happy with mine, they sometimes come up used in the for-sale forum here. Liking the concept of uptight bass but I'm not sure I want to hear about your experiments with black nylons @Beedster. What you get up to at weekends is your own concern 🙂

I make that 37 years, not 47.

I've had a Vintage V300 for many years and I can't fault it. Solid spruce top and mahogany back, sides and neck. It's gone up a bit since I bought mine but they can still be found for under 200 quid, for example PMT. https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/vintage-v300n-guitar-outfit-natural

No contest for best purchase. LFSys Monza.

Audacity will do this on PC or Mac.

Based on my experience with the LFSys Monza, if you're looking at a Super Compact you should also be looking at LFSys Monaco.

The people were long gone, 20 years ago. Actually make that 40 years ago when Biacrown closed and Music Ground got their hands on the brand.

I've now done 4 or 5 gigs with my Monza, and I promised @stevie i'd post my thoughts so here goes. All gigs were with my Chicago-style blues band consisting of bass, drums, 2 electric guitars and harp/vocals. Moderately but not bonkers loud and all through backline, no PA reinforcement except for vocals, kickdrum and the harp combo is miked. On-stage volume is to loud to be comfortable, discussions about this on-going. All medium-sized pubs, no stage. My signal chain is double bass -> Krivo mag pickup -> Headway EDB1 preamp -> thumpinator -> BeCos Stella compressor -> EA iAmp doubler -> cab. The Monza has replaced an EBS Neo 2x12 with no apparent loss of volume. Comments from other band members along the lines of 'that box puts out a lot of sound' and 'the bass sounds fantastic' . The bass frequencies are rich deep and warm. The Monza is much more sensitive to mids the the EBS or the EA VL110s I've also used, and I've found that some careful adjustment of high-mid and low-mid on the pre-amp has been required to remove any nasty nasal edginess whilst still sounding as much like a double bass as possible. I've also found it necessary to roll off a bit of the high frequencies. This is an ongoing process but I think I'm getting close after 4 or 5 gigs. My guitar-playing son was in the audience last night and was full of praise for the bass sound. The other observation is that this cab is happy to handle as much power as I have needed to throw at it, and seems to sound better the louder it gets. I've been told a couple of times to turn it down, which I'm happy about given my earlier struggles to get enough volume without massive feedback issues, in fairness mostly caused by pickups rather than cabinet choice. I've now sold all my other cabs so I'm committed to the Monza, either with the iAmp doubler or my Walkabout Scout head for bass guitar when the opportunity for that arises. Hope that someone finds this useful, happy to answer any questions if I can.

You could ask the public during the survey, "Where can I get felt?" Make a careful note of the answers. Serious tip - put the new felt over the top of the old felt. Don't bother stripping it off.
