    Do you need one of these, or similar? i.e. a modern amp but doesn't look modern. Markbass CASA Fender Bassman 500 Music Man BH 500

    Do you own something which powers those cabs? I wondered if you could use that, which you already own, instead of buying a power amp.

    Some things to consider: I've never used one, but it looks interesting: http://www.guitarsoundsystems.com/gss-1000w-sumo-guitar-bass-power-amp-c2x23791314 It might seem like going round in circles, but the smallest power amps are often found in class D bass heads rather than PA power amps. E.g. the above Tone Hammer 500 contains (of course) a 500W power amp - you can bypass its preamp and go straight to the power amp section by plugging into the "return" of the effects loop. What type of gigs are you doing? Have you considered selling the Barefaced and getting a powered speaker like an RCF 735-A? This is the route I went down.

    Still for sale. I can post this; alternatively, I will be in Bristol in July so could drop it off if you're somewhere along the M4.

    Can you restring the original E to see if it makes a difference? That might eliminate (b) and possibly (c).

    I have a (different) 5-string PJ and I've recently been experimenting with mixing strings -- I have rounds on the BE, and flats on the ADG. I keep it on just on the P pickup for motown stuff. Seems good so far.

    Good question! I've never noticed or thought about this, and I don't have a Fender to hand to compare directly - but I think you are right. I've put some images here: https://imgur.com/a/AmdoPKD

    When I'm struggling with GAS, I refer back to some wisdom I learnt from this very forum: Quoted from user PhilSpectone https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/9103-double-bass-buying-guide/?do=findComment&comment=332186

    This is back up for sale. The controls have been changed to volume and tone, with a three-way switch for pickup selection - see new photos. Afraid still no postage for the time being, as have no suitable hard case. However, I will be in Bristol in July, so could meet up if you're somewhere along the M4.

    It's 18mm.

    Some diagrams from Ibanez:

    Ibanez ATK805E Premium 5-string For sale only, at £550 (edit 29th June: now sold) collected from south-west London, or possibly meet up halfway somewhere in the south-east. Afraid no postage for the time being as have no suitable hard case. However, I am travelling to Birmingham this Saturday (30th June) and will be in Bristol in July, so could meet up if you're along the M4, M40, or lower part of the M1. I bought this bass from someone who bought it from Dave Swift (Jools Holland's bassist), who imported it from the USA. Very versatile with the two pickups and the three-way switch. Gets a Stingray sound for sure, and also close to a P and J. Controls are: Pots: volume, pickup balance, active 3-band eq. Then there is also a three-way bridge pickup character switch. Pickups are curved to match the neck radius. The neck is a "CAP Sonic Arch5" and the bridge is a "CAP Double Humbucker". Weight: approx 4.2 kg, and balances very nicely. Couple of small scratches -- please study the photos. Happy to provide further photos or details of any area. Body: ash Fretboard: maple Scale: 34" Frets: 22 medium frets with "Premium Fret Edge Treatment: processed to be specially rounded for smooth play and comfortable neck grip" Bridge: ATK5 bridge, 18mm spacing Nut width: 45mm Neck radius: 305mm (12") Machine heads: Hipshot I seem to have two feedback threads: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/159971-jrixn1/ and https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/235844-jrixn1-feedback/

    Two inputs does restrict your options. How about an A/B pedal to handle input selection, and then use any single-channel amp?
  15. jrixn1
    Ibanez ATK805E? String spacing is 18mm. Three-way coil switch on the back double humbucker.

    Edit 17th July: SOLD I bought this last month for an upcoming one-off gig - but the gig plan subsequently changed, so the uke is now surplus to requirement, un-gigged. Played it only for a few minutes in the house, so it's basically as brand new. Includes: Makala UB15 ukulele bass Thomann gig bag Kala "Feedback Freezer" (currently installed in the sound hole, but removable) £140 posted within the UK, or pick it up from Wimbledon.

    Edit 28th June: now sold This is the Myers "Feather Micro Coil" microphone (N.B. they describe it as a "pickup"). https://www.myerspickups.com/products/the-feather-mirco-coil-pickup-system I don't believe you can buy this in Europe (I bought it from USA). The micro coil and the included assortment of clips, etc, give a lot of positioning options. Includes: mic + gooseneck + micro coil cable preamp module + clip spare batteries two types of clip suction cup cork + rubber pads soft case instructions cable tidy £100 posted within the UK.

    The other side of the loud vs quiet argument: 😄

    +1 Great tip.

    At that budget, Yamaha BB434 (new) or BB734A (second-hand).

    I don't think you want to cut the lows using the ABM's eq, as this would affect the signal being sent to the sub. Instead, connect the ABM effects send to the powered sub. Then connect the powered sub's crossover output to the ABM effects return - this will mean the ABM/Aguilars are reproducing only those frequencies that the sub didn't already take care of. Not sure how this setup would sound though. Is there an option of getting a third Aguilar and an amp which can run at 2.7ohm?

    From that review: "the dual-function active treble/passive tone control [...] one single knob you turn that functions as a whole rotation of a passive tone control from 0 to 5, and active treble boost from 5 to 10." I have a BB735A and I'm not sure that above part is correct. To me it seems much more simple - namely that in passive mode, the whole knob functions as a passive tone control; and in active mode, the whole knob functions as a treble cut/boost.

    How about a Boss LS-2. Each channel has its own level control and a coloured LED - I have mine setup to cycle on each footpress through channel A, channel B, and neither (i.e. mute).

    Another organization to look at, if you haven't already, is https://www.helpmusicians.org.uk/ (formerly the Musicians Benevolent Fund).

    Perhaps Golden Slaps, which are the same as Silver Slaps apart from the colour. Great strings - I use them as well.
