    Enjoy your gig. Don't let us confuse you too much!

    There's a lot of good stuff here. I like a Wizzy 10" for small gigs but with this size I don't like to have the cab mounted on anything to give it extra height. Although a cab in this position can be easier for the player to hear, I prefer the cab where the floor coupling can give a better amount of fullness. A bit too much bass (rare IME with a ten) can be HPF'd or EQ'd out.

    There is a lot of good sense there - sorry, not meant to sound at all patronising! In my early days I did a lot of gigs on my 'bought new' bass I thought I was doing well. But from time to time I would sit-in on someone else's double bass. Very few of them looked any better than mine but almost without exception they were easier to play. Of course, it was the setup - which supports the advice to get a second hand bass from a good home. I'm a lot wiser and considerably older now. That's a pity, the 'old' bit.

    First port of call is a high pass filter (or low cut, same thing). You can find this on some amps, the AI Clarus has one. But if you can find one the FDeck HPF will sort out your problem. I'm sure other BCers will have some ideas. PS, further thought, moving the soundpost by someone who knows will also help.

    I had a Meinel as my only bass for approx 15 years, originally from Footes. I sold it to a BCer three years ago for £1600. Although it doesn't have the complexity of, say, a Bryant it's got a lot of projection and clarity. I used to get many compliments. I rather regret having sold mine so I can certainly recommend an inspection. Meinels are very well constructed.

    I couldn't have put it better myself. My Solo bass is just a bit smaller that the 'average' DB and a tad lighter which make it great for taking around on gigs. It proved elusive to amp successfuly for a while. Still not sure why; one possible reason is the full complex sound overwhelming the pickup's ability to take in the full spectrum. But I've now put an Ehrlund on and it all sounds excellent. I was pleased to have purchased mine for the reasonable sum of £3,800 and so £3,000 has to be the sale of the century.

    Don't like it! It has no soul, just a guy singing a song.

    Just as a heads-up, I've got a very nice Epi UL110 10" cab for sale in the Amps and Cabs section. Great for DB, 8 ohms. Link below:- [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/196630-fs-epifani-ul-110-cab/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/196630-fs-epifani-ul-110-cab/[/url]

    Rhonda Smith played Giant Steps when she auditioned for Prince. Perhaps I should get out more.

    Epifani UL 110 cab for sale. Single 10" driver and adjustable tweeter. Immaculate condition incl Roqsolid cover. Dimensions: 360Hx450Wx360D Weight: 24 lbs. When I gig it I stand the cab on its end which gives a more compact footprint and raises the driver slightly. £300. Would prefer collected from Chipping Norton or meet up but could ship.

    I use industrial alcohol. You can get it at Maplin. It seems to do some good because the cloth is quite gunky after cleaning. Doesn't taste too good tho'.

    [quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1357639296' post='1925627'] 'a rigger of bass reproduction'! [/quote] I think that'll go into the lexicon of bass playing for all time! I'll go and put out a sits vac notice right away.

    Nice woody growly bass sound - or have I missed the point?
