    3 Leaf Enabler should do it...but won't do any overdriven sounds, should you need them.

    Probably different pickups and preamp - the old GMT pickups were made by Kent Armstrong. Worth asking Rob Green, as I guess they have changed their moulding process a bit over the years as well.

    I borrowed this for a while - a lovely bass indeed, and pure nostalgia for the (gracefully) ageing bassist.

    DR Sunbeams. Give them a week or two...and relax..

    Nice...I do hope it runs on batteries...and you can see the tuner display in daylight..

    I thought mine was great, but I never really used it with a modern micro amp, as intended. I used an SWR Electric Blue which has a fairly hard edge to it that needed rounding out..but then it worked a treat for both upright (Realist pickup) or any bass guitar. It is a very accurate and articulate speaker with real low end. Mine was a composite version, and it did seem a bit fragile to me. On balance, I think a ply cab is probably worth it for a few additional pounds in weight. The other slight issue I have is with long term use, any cab designed around a very specific (or unusual) driver may be difficult to repair in the future..when that particular driver is no longer in production. I'd rather use gear that has more generic speakers that are more easily replaced. A minor point, I know but it did occur to me with the Crazy 8.

    Looks great..

    A simple "no, that not ok for me" there are plenty of other options, and the other players will have their own equipment (and could get it to the venue, same as you). Not your responsibility. This is what hire gear is for...

    Now traded...thanks to all for the interest.

    Did the amp sell? May have some interest for you.....PM me?

    I've got the Gen2 version - very light and loud, but I wouldn't want to be carrying it on the Tube as its not very small and the side mounted handle means it could be a bit awkward in confined spaces . Goes best with a warmer voiced amp...gets a bit shouty with very clean/hard sounding amps (like my old SWR stuff). It takes eq well and is pretty easy to smooth the mid response out. A great cab but I suspect the latest version is both a bit smaller and smoother sounding.

    Checked the loft, haven't got the shipping box....bump

    You can get much of the benefits by using EMG stuff - except the (very expensive) filter eq. EMG have taken a similar path to Alembic, but put the micro electronics into the pickup casing. Has the same general effect, clean pure signal, more string sound..arguably less wood in your sound. Easy retro fit, cheaper and removable.

    I like your style....

    They are all quiet - get a small amp if you need to, or DI when possible. Have a search and you will find much discussion..and then some more! My personal slant, get something that you like to play on its own..then make it loud enough by whatever means fits the circumstances. Or get a double bass.
  16. BassBod
    Amen! Thanks...deliberations started...
  17. BassBod
    Will do - pm me your location?

    Oh yes, all present and correct, even got past immigration at the bridge (although I thought £6.40 was a bit rich for a backhander). Was a big house a few miles north of Abergavenny...posh party.

    Love 'em, and DR flats are pretty similar. Pyramid Golds are the sound/feel winner for me, but too fragile to rely on for gigging...so Sadowsky and DR's are my favourite flats to date.

    Probably no introduction necessary, this is a Series II Barefaced Midget, metal grill, one Speakon input socket and Roqsolid cover with red piping. A great little light cab, with a bit of an aggressive bark to its mid range - how much depends on the voicing of your amp and its eq. My SWR's are a bit edgy, but can be tamed with some tweaking. Other warmer voiced amps will be less pronounced. I've read these go very well with the older Compacts, but I've not tried it. Excellent condition, handle and all feet intact...could easily pass for new. No trades (well, what you got?) and collection from Bristol/Bath area only. Photos will be up as soon as the sun comes out again and the rain stops... [attachment=169144:IMG_0944.JPG][attachment=169145:IMG_0949.jpg][attachment=169146:IMG_0946.jpg] Rain stopped..for a while!

    Just realised I was gigging only a few miles away from you a week or two ago...
  22. BassBod
    Show me a photo...I'm that shallow I could be tempted....
  23. BassBod
    Good point...
  24. BassBod
    That is very tempting...even though I'd never need to use it!
  25. BassBod
    One last bump....
