  1. The original poster says that he's "budget conscious" but also "tempted to try and find a pair of Markbass 104 HFs", which suggests the budget is £1600. If so, either two Big Baby 2 or one Big Twin 2 are within budget. I'm not sure you need stereo inputs on the cab to run a synth and a bass guitar from the same amp? Although I might have not understood what you mean.
  2. Ah sorry, I think I misread the question, which was about the internal speaker not the extension...
  3. I think the speaker will be ok. But will the amp be ok? My understanding is that one 8ohm and one 4ohm in parallel will present 2.7ohm to the amp, and that this is below the minimum allowed (which is 4ohm). Therefore you might do damage to the amp, which you wouldn't know about until it's too late. I hope someone will correct me if I have not understood this.
  4. I've never used any other in-ears, so I'm unable to offer a comparison. I do care about my tone and quality, but I'm only playing Motown etc on a P bass, so it's not something which requires a super bassy tone. So the 215 sound good to me and I'm happy, but noting that I don't know what I'm missing out on. Perhaps it's a bit like the Zoom vs Helix!
  5. I am using: Zoom MS-60B -> DI box -> Mackie DL32R digital mixer -> Behringer PM1 -> Shure SE215. I have not noticed any latency, and I'm happy with the sound quality of the Zoom. Btw I'm equally wary of trying a Helix etc in case I prefer it! But it would be a luxury upgrade rather than being out of necessity, as current setup is working well for me.
  6. 7) Tempo-adjustable drum machine with different beats.
  7. Got them on eBay. Not sure if was these exact ones, but these or similar: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JAZZ-BASS-PICKUP-COVERS-Matched-Pairs-or-Single-in-BLACK-WHITE-or-CREAM/200986711794
  8. Yes, the word "audio" in general means pertaining to sound. But I think specifically when regarding pot tapers, "audio" is a synonym for "logarithmic". So if you go to an electronics shop and asked for "an audio-taper pot", you will get sold a logarithmic pot. As such, saying "audio linear" might be unclear what you are after. BTW I didn't come up with the nomenclature... don't blame me I am not an expert - but my basic understanding is that the log pot will actually sound more linear than the linear pot, due to the way ears work. In my own P bass, I used two log pots, and both vol and tone are smooth and useful across the whole range (not "on/off"). Of course everyone has their own preference - at the end of the day, pots and caps are only a couple of quid each, so it's not prohibitive to experiment.
  9. Probably a typo - but to clarify, there is no "audio linear" pot. There are two types, each of which go by various names: "audio" or "log" or "A" "linear" or "B" The classic/standard P bass has 250k log pots. Often marked "A250K". The standard cap is 0.047µF (not 0.47). You also asked about wiring - you want 22-gauge stranded. Since soldering often requires three hands, get a "helping hand" to hold things in place. Consider wearing eye protection when soldering.
  10. I use https://www.bitsbox.co.uk/ Also http://www.wdmusic.co.uk - they can advise which of their knobs which fit which of their pots.
  11. I attended a swing dance event with a quartet who had no bass player -- instead, the pianist was using his left hand. (They weren't very good.) Someone I was chatting to remarked that the rhythm section didn't quite seem to sound right -- but that he couldn't put his finger on technically exactly what the problem was...
  12. I think you can change the flow to R->L in the global menu.
  13. According to this chap: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/zoom-ms60-b3-para-eq-help.999053/page-2#post-15143265 the 'depth' frequencies on the Ac Bs Pre are:
  14. For sale: Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2 (£425) + footswitch (£30). Updated 1st March: This is now SOLD The manufacturer's site is here: http://www.genzbenz.com/?fa=detail&mid=2824&sid=715&cid=95 This is a great, powerful amp. Its key features are: 500W into 8ohms 900W into 4ohms 12AX7 tube pre-amp I swapped the feet to slightly larger ones with better grip. Included in the price of the amp is the box, manual, the original feet, and postage. Or if you prefer, collect from me in London (either near Wimbledon or Chiswick), or I could possibly drive a short distance to meet up. There is a set of photos here: https://imgur.com/a/8rWXl My marketplace feedback: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/159971-jrixn1/ Happy to answer any questions or take additional specific photos.
  15. For sale: two Barefaced One10 speaker cabs at £300 each. UPDATE 30th Jan: both now sold The manufacturer's site is here: https://barefacedbass.com/product-range/one10.htm , but the key features are: LOUD small: 38cm x 29cm x 28cm light: 7kg I have two available, both in very good condition. There are a couple of really very minor scuffs. Included in the £300 price is your choice of: either a branded Roqsolid slip cover or a World Rhythm cajon case which the One10 fits nicely into, leaving a spare 12cm x 30cm x 30cm at one end - perfect for a typical class D head, or some cables etc. I can also throw in, if wanted, an angled stand. The cab(s) are available to collect from me in south-west London (near Wimbledon), or I could possibly drive a short distance to meet up. I also have plans to be in Salisbury and Brighton over the next few weeks, if that helps. I have one suitable box, so I could post one of the cabs at cost (£20). I could potentially source a second box, but would do this by request rather than pre-emptively. (N.B. the angled stand doesn't fit in the box, so I can't post that.) There is a set of 11 photos here: https://imgur.com/a/3M8KD My marketplace feedback: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/159971-jrixn1/ Happy to answer any questions or take additional specific photos.
  16. I'm located in London - mostly in either Wimbledon or Chiswick. If you can't quite get there, I could possibly drive a short distance to meet. Also, I'll be in Salisbury and Brighton over the next couple of weeks. Send me a private message for details.
  17. Electro-Harmonix Pitch Fork £95 including postage NOW SOLD Polyphonic Pitch Shifter This pedal is easy to use while still offering a lot of functionality. The controls are: Dials are: wet/dry blend and 11-position interval shift. Three-way toggle switch to choose octave up, octave down, or both. Small switch to choose operation mode: latch (each press of the foot switch toggles effect on/off) or momentary (effect is only on while foot switch is depressed). https://www.ehx.com/products/pitch-fork Includes manual, box, power supply.
  18. I'm only a recent convert to powered speakers - an RCF HD-10 which yes I use just for on-stage monitoring. See this thread - https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/317870-rcf-hd-10-vs-barefaced-one10/ I'm happy so far but I might wait till I've done a few more gigs with this system before selling off my previous traditional rig.
  19. Perhaps you could buy one (or both) from somewhere like gear4music who give free 30-day returns - I believe they even cover the return postage. A cheaper alternative could be one of the Zoom multi-effects pedal, like the B1on, MS-60B, or B3. They don't have cab modelling as such, but the amp modelling includes a choice of cab simulation. Myself - I use a Zoom MS-60B into a powered speaker. And yes, I need a separate DI box to send to FOH.
