    @disssa has reviewed all three on his excellent website https://www.disssa.de/ and has compared the PF-20T and PF-50T in the text of the PF-20T review.

    It’s not my first choice - I’d much rather use my lovely amps and cabs - but on a gig where no-one else is using backline, everyone has IEMs (just bought a setup myself), plus all the kit is travelling in a splitter van, it makes a lot of sense.

    Update - bought a smaller case and added a compressor and a smaller power supply.

    I had one too, no lack of volume in either a 3pc pub covers band (through a BF Super Twin) or a 4pc country band (through a BF One 10).

    I had the Ampeg PF-50T and there are some ceramic resistors inside to form a dummy load, plus a ventilation grille. I wouldn’t like to play it hard that way though.

    Excellent!

    Not to mention cost.

    My bass rig for last weekend's gigs. I was reliant on a wedge monitor and it took me a little while to find my sweet spot. Future gigs with this band will have the benefit of IEMs and the ability to control my own monitor mix. The glasses case? I was sight reading my own transcriptions of the band's 2-hour set!

    Just played 2 nights with tribute band Dire Streets, at Tavistock Wharf and Tetbury Goods Shed. I was already booked to play a bass gig with them in May and a couple on rhythm guitar in August/September. Their regular bass player had a family emergency and fortunately I had already transcribed all the bass parts and had them in ForScore on my iPad. I wouldn’t normally take dots out on a gig like that but this was at 36 hours’ notice! It was also my first time going amp-less, but more on that in another thread. The band were pleased with my work and so was I, in the sense that all the preparation paid off. Both nights were packed and the appreciation coming back from audience was phenomenal. Now looking forward to my other gigs with the band, where I will get a rehearsal!

    Well that day is tomorrow, and indeed the day after. I have a couple of last minute theatre gigs with a tribute band who all go direct to the PA. Apparently I’ll get a monitor though, rather than using my IEMs.

    That looks to be exactly what the world has been waiting for - well, when I say ‘the world’ I mean ‘I’. I’m off to the Thomann website to consider my options… Thanks for sharing that Stew!

    Pump it up!

    Is this anything like the ‘birdcage’ preamp? That is the single most stellar sounding piece of bass kit I have ever experienced.

    Pro - Yay, a 50W valve bass amp! Con - I want a head that I can pair with a Barefaced cab.

    Sold

    On hold.

    Found in many a bass player's gig bag, the cheap-as-chips direct-to-PA solution for when your amp goes down. Or for recording bass. Or as a drive pedal with clean blend. Etc... I have done the mod that takes out a lot of the mid scoop. If you find you want the mid scoop back, simply snip off the extra resistor that is soldered to the bottom of the circuit board (visible when you remove the base plate). Or if you just know you want the mod reversed, I can do that for you before I send it to you. Reason for sale: OriginFX BassRig. Yours for £15 delivered in the UK.

    Thanks, that’s what potential buyers will want to see. Boss moved production to Taiwan around 1990 so you likely received it a few years later than you remember. The circuit stayed exactly the same so it will sound every bit as good.
  19. JapanAxe
    Could you possibly get a clearer photo of the label on the bottom of the pedal? Thanks

    Now that's a 'board that means business!

    I have a dep gig tonight with a local singer-songwriter and the load-in involves parking in a public car park 2-300 yards away and handballing the kit from there. I was going to use my Origin Bassrig until I found out we have a drummer playing with us. I know the PA and I think it would be unrealistic to expect it to reproduce my bass above a live kit so I am going for plan B - Markbass Nano 300 into BF One 10 - which is still one easy trip from the car. So going ‘Amp-less” will have to wait for another day…

    Last year my Bowie tribute Rebel Heroes played at the Bowie Convention in Liverpool. One of the guests was former Spider From Mars drummer Woody Woodmansey, who came backstage to congratulate us on our performance. Considering I have been listening to his playing for close to 50 years, I was beyond delighted.

    Whatever it is he needs a few more knobs and switches.
