These are now on an eBay auction, so final bump here. -
Does the direct signal sound horrid because it is "unprocessed" -- was the Ashdown DI set to "pre-eq"? If so, then the bass might sound horrid to the audience as well! What about a pre-amp pedal like a Tech 21 SansAmp? As for controlling your volume, you get that set during soundcheck; or during the gig by catching the sound engineer's attention. The above would present (IMHO) the most "correct" solution i.e. avoiding having two separate monitoring systems running side-by-side. However, I appreciate perhaps it wouldn't work in your real world scenario for one reason or another.

Footswitch for Genz Benz Shuttle amps, £30. edit: NOW SOLD Works with Shuttle 6.0, 6.2, 9.0, and 9.2 models. Collect it from Wimbledon, or I can post within UK for £5. Message me with your country for other postage quotes. -
One thing you would lose is the DSP of an active speaker. My understanding is that it flattens the response and protects against over-excursion.
-
I've not used one (and I think it was linked earlier in this thread), but the QSC CP12 is 30.3 lbs (13.7 kg).

I found a previous thread where I said: "I had one for a while. They are not expensive. I really liked the acoustic sound - but you couldn't use that live. The sound through the pick-up was... ok, not bad by any means, but it didn't blow me away." https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/293304-aria-feb-flf-fretless-acoustic-nbd/ https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/318275-aria-feb-any-thoughts/

An unsolicited photo of my BB 😍
-
I can't answer, but could I ask you is there something about the 435 you feel is lacking? I've owned a 425X in the past, and a 735A currently. Am interested in past and current (and future) BBs for reference in case I get another one!
-
If you are planning to have the work done by a luthier, one thing might be worth checking is that they will undertake the work with a customer-supplied bridge. Some do not.
-
I've owned a Streamliner 600 in the past, and also a Shuttle 9.2 which has a similar tube preamp section, and yes when I turned the gain up I also then correspondingly turned the volume down, as that's what seemed to me to work best -- but perhaps there are other, better ways to combine all the controls. In my mind it's like having an effects pedal where you use the output volume control to avoid overloading the next pedal in the chain.
-
I was hoping someone more knowledgeable than me would answer. Here is my understanding... On the M: the gain will not affect the tone. Its only purpose is to set the correct level going into the eq section. E.g. if you have weak pickups you would raise the gain; if you have powerful pickups you would lower the gain. However on the T: adjusting the gain will also affect the tone. E.g. you may want to "crank" the gain for its tubey tonal benefits. In that case, the extra volume control lets you attenuate back to unity, so you don't overload the eq section.
-
Another thing to be aware of is that the daily period runs midnight-midnight. So for a late-finishing gig, you might have to pay twice!

Now £600 collected or £650 posted.

I've never used one, but Phil Jones Piranha 8x5 exists. https://www.thomann.de/gb/phil_jones_piranha_compact_8_cabinet.htm

Does a bass stand which really packs down into a gig bag but works exist?
jrixn1 replied to Owen's topic in Bass Guitars
I sometimes use one of these: https://www.thomann.de/gb/planet_waves_gr_01_guitar_rest.htm -
Modes...don't some sound weird?? Discordant?
jrixn1 replied to TheGreek's topic in General Discussion
100% agree with this. Modal compositions do exist -- but `Treasure` is not one of them. A lot of the discussion around modes can be bypassed by just pointing out "play the notes from the key you are in". Also 100% agree with this. The Ab, Fm, and Gm create tension, which is then resolved on return to Cm. -
I'll throw this into the mix, although it's a slightly different approach. Barefaced Big Baby 2 (£749) and Fearless F112 (£750) are both very flat, high quality 1x12" with compression driver, which accurately reproduce whatever signal you feed it. So if you're considering those, I'd also look at an active PA speaker like an RCF 732-A or QSC K12.2. They're about the same price, but include a built-in matched 700-900W power amp. I've previously owned a BB2 (driven by a Genz 900W amp), and currently run an RCF 732-A, and they are comparable systems. Additionally, since you mentioned kickback option, a PA speaker can be used in the upright or monitor position.

I'm only looking for a sale. Thanks

I have sourced some appropriate packaging, so I can now post these within the UK for £700 inclusive. Collection from London SW19 still welcome, for £650. Or could meet-up somewhere. I'm travelling to Bristol at the end of October - so anywhere within reach of the M25 or M4.
-
Yes, I do have one which lives in my van as a spare. Never actually needed it as a back-up, but I do choose to gig it occasionally, and it is fun, small, and light. I don't really get on with jazz basses, so mine's currently wired in series. There is a previous thread here: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/241113-jd-mini-basses-and-vintage-63-p-bass-jack-and-danny/ I note that I paid just £73.99 a couple of years ago!

Revised price of £50 posted within UK. -
Selling a pair of RCF HD 10-A MK4 powered speakers, including fitted covers, for £600 collected from London SW19, or £650 posted within UK. Edit: now sold If you only want one, I can possibly split, but only if I have two buyers lined up. These are powered speakers with a 10" woofer and a 1" compression driver. Rated 800 W Peak, 400 W RMS. Inputs is balanced XLR or unbalanced jack, at line or mic level (selectable). Weight is 14kg each. Manufacturer's website with full spec and marketing: https://www.rcf.it/en_US/products/product-detail/hd-10-a-mk4/291481 I bought the first one in December 2017, and the second in May 2018 - so they are not that old. The best price I can find for these new, including covers, is £899. There are a couple of light scuffs but otherwise in very good condition. UK power cables are included. The fitted covers are really good as they have velcro-fastened flaps in all the correct places (for all handles and connections) so you can use the speakers without removing the covers.
