This is what you need - we use one and its great, you can clamp it in all sorts of interesting places.... Joby Action Clamp with GorillaPod arm [url="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Joby-Action-Clamp-GorillaPod-Arm/dp/B00GV0LW6E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1494622403&sr=8-2&keywords=joby+action+clamp"]https://www.amazon.c...by+action+clamp[/url] The version below is similar but the rubber ball joints tend to disintegrate so dont buy this one.... [url="https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Electronics-Photo/Joby-Action-Clamp-Locking-Arm/B00GXTZYD0/ref=pd_sim_421_5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=RC0G62ZAZDSCK6H65QN4"]https://www.amazon.c...2ZAZDSCK6H65QN4[/url] or get a mini drone thing, that would be cool :-) - you could have a mate fly it around the stage

Remember, you are usually standing in between the audience and your backline - the rowdy punters have to get past you first. Perhaps having a bass that you're not scared to thump a punter with would be a better plan? We play in a few places where it gets a bit rowdy and a Stingray is pretty tasty at muscling people back towards the crowd.....doesnt even go out of tune ;-)

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]"Any reason in your opinion to favour the VT Bass DI over the BDDI v2?"[/font][/color] [font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]The VT Bass DI has the character control (dial anticlockwise from midday and it becomes more SVT like, clockwise adds some fruitier mids in and heads towards Tim Commerford territory). You can also switch the speaker simulator off which makes it sound a bit more full range - with the sim engaged it tightens up the bass response a bit (sealed cab style) which is handy for boomy rooms. You can also switch the bite in or out - it tames the clank if required - its always on with the BDDI i believe and you need to cut the treble to get rid of the clank.[/color][/font] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]It can do the BDDI thing plus a bunch of other stuff - the BDDI won't do the VT thing quite as well.......

Bring 200 drinking buddies and you can name your own price

The presence control usually adds a degree of top end. Sort of a sparkle or string noise boost in real life and can be a bit harsh and aggressive if boosted too much. Maybe more useful on slappy stuff than warm valvey stuff. Re the mid scoop - dropping the bass and treble levels a bit, increasing the level and dialling back the blend brings the mids back in. The more blend you have, the more scoop you have in general. The character control on the VT Bass DI also adds mids in as you increase it - again the blend control plays a significant part with it (its a lot more flexible too imho). If you wanted to pop over and stick some headphones (they'll really show up the sonic differences) on i have a Behringer BDI21 (which is pretty close to the BDDI and has very similar controls) as well as a VT Bass DI and you could get a feel for the sound differences.

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1494331583' post='3295010'] I'd say the VT does a good job at emulating a tube amp, but the SCR-DI is more like a clean solid state Ampeg preamp, twinned with a fizzy sounding overdrive. The headphone amp with aux in is a major plus though. You can't plug headphones into the DI output of the VT, but you can send the DI to a cheap Behringer MA400 headphone amp as I used to! [/quote] You can plug headphones into the jack output and engage the +10db button - its a perfectly useable headphone out but you don't get the aux in functionality.

I've had an ABM500 evo3 and currently use an ABM600 evo4. Theres quite a difference in sound between them - i couldn't get rid of the whumpy pillowy sound with the evo3 but the newer evo4 is capable of a tighter more precise sound. It also sounds heftier to my ears. The evo4 has more eq points to tweak and a different power amp i believe. You also need to eq with your ears rather than your eyes - i have the top end and high mids cranked up to get some zing back into it. And sometimes run the pre shape engaged and crank a load of mids back into it. When you look at your final eq settings they may look a bit mad but like i said, use your ears.

The Nate Mendel has the B profile neck - not so spindly as a Jazz but definitely narrower (i think 41mm) and thinner than most Precisions - its a geat feeling neck. The Sandberg is a good call too (I have a Nate and a Sandberg PM4 and they are very similar in profile) - it can do a good Precision tone in passive mode.

open to offers....i keep tripping over it

[quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1491851308' post='3275897'] That looks good and very compact. I'm probably going to need something a little bigger as my Zoom B3n and Boss RC 30 I think are each both larger than your VT and SD pedals. On a completely separate note what is the model of the Sony wireless unit you're using? Does that avoid you needing guitar and amp leads entirely and does it work with minimal signal delay? [/quote] Its a Sony DWZ 30 or something like that. Discontinued now but awesome bit of kit. Yep, just use a transmitter from the bass and take an output straight into the first effect unit. Run the signal thru the pedalboard and one lead from the last pedal into amp. Its the size of a standard effect pedal so goes nicely on the board and runs on either 9v, 12v or batteries. Theres absolutely no delay and I'm electric shock proof too.... Recommended if you can find one - think there was one on here not so long ago.

I found a Pedaltrain Metro 16 with soft case to be a good size for about 4 pedals and a small power supply. The case is a decent one and its being gigged every weekend with no particular wear. Its a bit deeper than the twin rail Pedaltrains so the top jacks get a little protection when in the case or on the floor. I use a Diago Micropower 9 (zip tied underneath the board since the pic below) and deluxe daisy chain to power everything (VT Bass DI, Korg PitchBlack tuner, SD Doubleback compressor, Sony wireless unit and a Zoom MS60B) [URL=http://s1271.photobucket.com/user/mudpup1/media/Guitars/0196E1F6-FE1A-4A64-9798-533757D402D4.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1271.photobucket.com/albums/jj640/mudpup1/Guitars/0196E1F6-FE1A-4A64-9798-533757D402D4.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

I have gone from a MB Fusion 500 to an RB700 and I much prefer the RB. My cabs are BB2'sand I play similar music to you by the looks of it. There was a period when I owned both at the same time so could try both at gigs at the same time - the RB always won in my ears. The RB sounds warmer and fatter imho. There's plenty of volume and bass available on the MB but it can't do the fat thing as well as the RB. And it doesn't have the bowel moving slam of the RB either. You can always hear the MB but you can't always feel it......

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1490825790' post='3268432'] Sounds great here: [media]http://youtu.be/_jBaovVmeBc[/media] I love my Sandberg Basic for its Stingray-esque tones but with a slimmer neck and smaller body, I could see myself getting on with one of these too for the same reasons. [/quote] Sounds fantastic to me...just my sort of tone Dammit, thought i had conquered the gas thing with my current bunch...

Works fine on an iPhone though....
