    This amp should need no introduction. So good it even made @Al Krow buy one after multiple posts slagging off Darkglass! This was the perfect amp for the rock band I joined last year, the band has now imploded. Nowadays I'm mainly just practicing into headphones and I can just use my B3K pedal to get me close to the sound I had, so this is up for grabs. Great condition except for one little scrape on one of the rear corner as pictured. Comes with the footswitch (all the 900 models do, unlike the new 500 model I believe) however the bag pictured has now been sold separately. Original box is included for safe shipping however and the sale price is now £625 delivered. I'm in St Neots, Cambridgeshire if you fancy giving it a spin, I also travel fairly regularly into central London. Will knock a tenner off of meeting up at a convenient location.

    Bought new 5 months ago - used for a couple of rehearsals and one short gig only, so barely broken in! Mint condition as it's been babied and has the padded cover. The band I joined has since folded and I'm not sure when I'll be getting back on the saddle, so for now my Ampeg SVT210AV is a more wife-friendly practice amp cab due to it having less low end! Pickup / meetup is much preferred (I live in St Neots, Cambridgeshire), shipping is a possibility as I still have the original box however. One of these would now set you back £599 + £70 + £30 P&P with a long wait. I'll let it go for £500 (plus shipping costs if needed). https://photos.app.goo.gl/CDBSrMLqlSwfJDzl1 https://photos.app.goo.gl/lrWBFPhcxDyec9Pg1

    I know, I tried putting the direct image links in but Basschat only liked half of them, so I've put Google links there now instead!

    I bought this from this here forum a few months ago, it has hardly been used by myself and is in immaculate condition. I picked it up as a small amp to use in the house but I just prefer the dirtier more old school sound of my regular rig! It's an amazing amp for it's size (pictured next to my P for a sense of scale!), has the clarity PJB is famed for and can even run off a laptop battery (not included). £280 delivered, or you're welcome to come and try it (near St Neots) and I also travel into central London fairly often. https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZtVsiSxomZwfkZUU6 https://photos.app.goo.gl/C1fnRJyC2eo5x4lD2 https://photos.app.goo.gl/lN8OacS2AmvW3flZ2 https://photos.app.goo.gl/30TqY0UcvqJVahyF3

    I was thinking of picking up a BDDI to pair with my VTDI for the same reason, but I've pre-ordered the new DP3-X for now instead!

    Whilst true, some amps have an active / passive switch that is purely an input pad, they don't all switch between high and low impedance.

    Just had a run through each toneprint into headphones. The majority of them either altered the tone, boosted the volume, or over compressed, but I was really happy with the sound I got from the stock preset with the dial at about 8 o'clock. Increased clarity without a harsh treble boost, lightly plucked notes leap out, digging in aggressively doesn't over compress. I couldn't find a setting that was quite as transparent as my Cali Compact, perhaps with a bit of manual tweaking I could get there. But as a tone enhancing compressor it's certainly up there. Best bit is it was virtually silent at most settings, which I was not expecting!
  8. dannybuoy
    It's certainly possible. They don't make it easy to adjust the input level or have any metering, so it would make sense to put a limiter on the front end before the digital conversion to prevent clipping. Not sure if you'll get an answer out of Zoom themselves though!

    I've only heard YouTube demos but this is some of the best bass amp modelling I've heard. I'm going to try and audition a Studio 40 somewhere when I can!

    Tablecloth on top, vase of daffodils, job done!

    £7 cheaper than a new one, not bad!

    Couldn’t you use one of the sends going to a DI box?The master volume should come after everything in the chain so not affect the DI patched into the fx loop. A Radial Stagebug wouldn’t take up much room!
  13. dannybuoy
    All BBs are 34" at the low B. The only way you can get different scale lengths is to use fanned frets! The extended saddle is just a (ugly) fix to a bridge that didn't have quite enough room behind the saddle , the more upmarket BBs just have better bridges that don't need the extended saddle.

    Any passive pickup can be paired with an active preamp. It's not much different to plugging a passive bass into an EQ pedal really. There are active pickups which are a bit different, but they are pretty rare.
  15. dannybuoy
    Any Precision pickup will do, including the stock one!

    I’m just picturing the OP swapping out his 15” cab for a 12”, saving 3” of floor space. Wife takes one look and says “it’s still a bit big, isn’t it?”
  17. dannybuoy
    If storage is the issue, I assume it's the footprint that's important rather than the height? A vertical 210 from Barefaced would take up less floor space than a 15 and handle a gig no problem.

    The muff is 9V. The other pedals that say 10V should be fine at 9 too - you never see 10V power supplies for pedals. They look like they would all be fine sharing power on a daisy chain using something like this: https://www.juno.co.uk/products/mooer-9v-stage-power-supply-uk-plug/666807-01/ https://www.juno.co.uk/products/mooer-8-angled-plug-daisy-chain-cable/666804-01/ Advantage of something like that is it doesn't need any space on a pedalboard. This looks like a pretty good value option though: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075ZT7B5F/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?psc=1

    I always felt the deluxe/elite models with the noiseless pickups sounded a bit lifeless. If yours has those fitted I would be looking at changing those before the pre.

    You won't get a very detailed compressor comparison out of me as I don't have much experience with them. But the Cali is the best I've ever had for transparent volume levelling without neutering the thump of the attack, altering my EQ or introducing any weird artifacts. If I can get that from a smaller cheaper single-knobber, I will be happy!
  21. dannybuoy
    Not really, looks like a great all in one solution, but I like my separates too much that I'd rather not compromise for the sake of convenience or portability. I've not found a headphone amp as good as the PJB Bighead - everything else I've tried in multi FX or amp heads has been either noisy or not enough volume, so I fear the same from this. I've settled on my two main favourite sounds, my BB into a B3K, or my P bass into a Tonehammer, and I very much doubt the Spectradrive could replace either. I picked up the SpectraComp just out of interest to compare to the Cali Compact.
  22. dannybuoy
    I expect it will be the same as the Tubetone™ in the RH450/RH750 so you could always check some demos of those out for now!
  23. dannybuoy
    Mine!
  24. dannybuoy
    Pretty much - most should be 9V. As I said some pedals are noisy when sharing power so it would be a good idea to list what you have in case there are any known offenders! For example anything digital by Zoom or EHX is usually prone to it, yet I've not found the same to be true with digital pedals from TC or Mooer.
  25. dannybuoy
    A simple 9V daisy chain may well suffice for starters, I used one for many years before upgrading to something fancier. Depends if you have any pedals with differing voltage requirements or any that are noisy when sharing power.
