Just sold a Custom Shop P to Mick, who drove to test and collect it - had a great chat about bass and music in general, and he's a fine player as well as a fine fellow! A very pleasant transaction, deal with full confidence. Many thanks Mick and enjoy playing

and SOLD. Thanks for all the interest!

+1, I run an XR18 for an in-house PA and the fact that each player can customise their own mix on the fly is very neat. Plus bags of DSP included. Only downer is that you need a separate power amp, but you could easily rack case a class D amp with the mixer for a light lift.

Long answer here: https://www.soundonsound.com/sound-advice/q-why-do-i-need-use-di-box Short answer: if you're getting a decent sound (and no interference) don't worry. Amp/cab sim pedals like the Tech21 range are worth trying but simply for tone experimentation, rather than fixing something that is broken.

Have played approx 50 pub gigs with a cheerful Behringer mixer/power amp and gear4music 12s with horns plus 2 basic active monitors. Band is vox/bass/keys/drums/sax/rhythm guitar. About £500 including stands. Vocals and keys only through the PA. If I bring a 1x15 I don't go through the PA, but did when I had a Barefaced 110. Our golden rules are: must be able to hear vox clearly, and people should be able to hear each other at at least some point in the pub (these aren't music venues as such :))

It's not - but a gorgeous build all the same

@gorandelac lovely pair of Alembics there - is the 5 string an MK with Signature electronics? Oh and big thanks for the excellent video of your Series I on YouTube - a must watch for anyone considering an early Alembic!

Lovely bass, this was pretty much new when I sold it to Mike recently. Looks even better with the tort! Cracking bargain, GLWTS

Hi there, please may I ask the nut width and the fingerboard radius? Lovely bass, GLWTS :)

£300 is a stupendous bargain! I love mine, I'm tempted to get this one too simply so I can have one with rounds and one with flats simultaneously

Ha! @cetera I was just about to post that too - but I ended up listening to it all the way through! Perfect choice :)

SOLD, thanks for all the interest!

ON HOLD

The good news is that I have recently acquired one - the bad news is that it's my first time playing any form of upright bass, so I can't give a comparison! The screw in 'shoulders' seem to help in resting it against the body like a DB, at least from my understanding from discoverdoublebass videos It's a second-hand Studio (their basic model), about 5 years old. I found it quick and easy to set-up and I'm very happy with the tone through the piezo pickup into a Quilter Basss Block/Fearless F112. I suspect I may need a notch filter though as it resonates around (I think) A. Sorry I can't be of more help, but I will say I'm pleased with it!
