Those are DiMarzio pups and the addition of the DiMarzio pots seems to confirm that. I love those cream pickups.

I have now got my Newtone Platinum Round Cores but I am loathe to change new strings. Any info about these Cobalt Rounds? Your you experience with them would be appreciated.

Presumably that means that from the returns or aux inputs you get a much lower THD figure, more in line with the power module's base specs?

I havwe decided to change the cheaper TGI one. Looking at all the better lower cost bags, they all have too many pockets for me. The great thing about the TGI Extreme is that it has one flat pocket and is really quite slim. I value my cuddly toys at home to keep them from the ruffians we play to. The TGI Transit are cheaper but offer little protection while the TGI Ultimate is up there with the major" brands at £129. I have a Hiscox hard case for those journeys that need more protection.

I have never heard any real low end from a PJB cab. Is it just me?

Add to that a tort Precision pick guard.

Still having troubles logging in on my mobile. I will keep trying but it is very annoying.

Yes it looks like an early cheap Japanese bass with that pickguard.

I have one for my Fender Aerodyne and I also recommend it. I did buy the lower price TGI for my Sire but but it was not worth the saving.

Not many cabs are actually DB friendly. I know some manufacturers do take account of DB but most do not. Is it worth asking for options on the DB forum? You don't say where you live so the recommendation might change with geography.

That explains a lot. My PC is almost always on BC and I have had trouble with iphone and ipad. I will use my VPN on the PC in future.

I have a pair of Panasonic Over Ear Headphones, 5 metre lead with in-line volume control. Not the greatest but OK for silent practice. I will see what else I can bring.

We have an outdoor gig this afternoon, I will be using my practice gloves for this one.

On the plus side, I did like to play bass on Ironic when I was in a band with a female singer.

Snap! If he drives a car like he drives a mixer he would be banned! On to Friday's Gig. Annual Bowls Club Supper Dance. The less said about the supper the better. The audience were not the youngest we have played to as you can imagine but they were up and dancing from the start. The main lights in the hall were on all night so it was a bit more like a rehersal than a gig but we mostly had fun. Usual set up for me Fender Aerodyne Bass, Bugera Veyron amp, Zoom B2 Four plus Cand Heat Cables made by my very own hand🤩

I helped do the sound (A2) at a two day Ska festival some years ago. Now my musical taste is broad although Contry and Weston and most current "urban" music are nails on a chalkboard. Anyway back to the Ska Fest. Eight bands over two days all but one did Monkey Man, some very badly and to this day the song drives me crazy. The only band that did not and really stick to the narrow gamut of Ska Classics was a band that did Ska versions of Pink Floyd songs and they were brilliant.

Has anyone had any experience with these? I have just got some and they seem very dark sounding with little of no top. Is that usual?

I have always looked at the 1% THD +N figure as the gold standard for amplifiers. Many hifi amps have noise figures many times better but if you can hear 1% on a bass at a gig then you are a better human than I an Gunga Din. I think Mesa via @agedhorse have IP on how the squeeze the extra power from ICEPower but I will let @agedhorse explain what he can and if he wants. I have been told by someone whose knowledge is greater than mine that the power ratings of the Mesa's are genuine.

As you may know, there is a speaker design software called WINisd. IT has the option to add filters before the speaker. If you put an HPF in line even putting the-3dB point at 40Hz it makes almost no difference to the speaker response but does make your speaker headroom much great headroom and cleans up your soggy bottom.

Here You Come Again- Dolly Parton

Add to the list of customers, Ashdown, Thomann/Harley Benton and more.

I suspect your comment is a little tongue in cheek and that they already do.

I just bought another bass on a whim. The Ari Pro 2 FB. I am told it was made around 1990 but there is nothing on the bass to inicate where or when it was made. The fretboard seems to be varnished or epoxied, was this as made or done by an earlier owner? Sny other info or directions to Aria fan sites? Pictures will follow.

Sounds to me like they have used the standard Sire MM preamp. It is a nice preamp but the knobs and pots on ALL Sire basses are sh1te. The passive tone control also has very little range on mine.

Probably, Peavey have a wealth of experience designing solid state amps. ICEPower have some nice smaller modules now but they were not around when the Elf was designed.
