TPJ

I have both. The MT is much more subtle. The FDeck seems to drop more bass than the MT even at it's lowest setting, but there is still plenty there. They both do a similar thing but with slightly different results.

Lee bought an East pre amp from me. Great comms, quick payment. Everything you could ask for Thanks for the easy deal.

I found the contour would help tame some active basses and take the edge off if you set it around 9 o'clock. And if you like that Sansamp scoop, just keep turning it clockwise and dial in more dirt from the valve.

I believe that a lot of players mount them at the end of the fingerboard. [/quote] Kirvo are from the states, Schallers you can get from Thomann, Armstrong make some in the UK. They all go on the end of the fingerboard, but you need to use strings with metal in them. Also, the Bassmax pups seem to be a bit less prone to feedback, just depends on where you are standing in relation to your amp and PA etc... You want to try and keep the bass away from your speaker at higher volumes to help reduce the chance of feedback. The FDeck preamps are very handy too as they have high impedence input, an adjustable high pass filter and a phase switch...all the eseentials There was a guy in the uk that would clone them for a good price, not sure if he's still making them.

Have you thought about using a mag pup for the rock gigs? Might be an easier way to combat the dreaded feedback.

Good stuff. Looks great.

Would a Boss LS2 work?

Too bad you have to part with the DB. I think you'll miss it But it's always something you can return to. Our originals band, The Now Nows, play a mixture of rock, punk, country and funk all acoustic....guitar, DB and cajon. And while we've covered a few hard rock songs, Sabbath would be challenging Best of luck on the new direction.

Great to deal with. Very good comms and prompt payment. Perfect.

I've run preamps all three ways you've mentioned . Currently I leave the FDeck by the amp bundled with the DI. IME, if you're not needing to make adjustments it should be alright on your amp.

Whilst scanning the Wanted section, I saw that Lozz was after a Tech21 Para Driver. I had one spare and a deal was done. Great comms, quick payment. Very easy deal. Thanks again.

I just bought Adrian's Status Streamline bass. The bass was too far for me to collect so he agreed to post. It arrived today superbly packaged, so much so I had to get the UPS guy to help me unwrap it to ensure all was ok His comms were excellent and very positive to help make this long distance and expensive purchase very easy. He is a very great person to deal with and very nice chap. Highly recommended and a credit to the forum. Thanks again for helping me get one of my bucket list basses.

fishfry bought some gut double bass strings from me. He was willing to work a deal for part of the set and his comms were very good. Enjoy the strings.

The Fearless speakers would probably fall into the FRFR category. I know my F112 certainly is.

[quote name='Prince_phil' timestamp='1486557549' post='3232722'] Cheers- Ive just been offered a good deal on a used BB2 so might go with that! I do need a full range cab for the synth and EUB so it might do the job! Has anyone any experience with the new Markbass 1x12? Im sure its good but the specs (SPL and freq response) arent quite as good as the BB2! [/quote] If you need full range, take a look at the F210 in the for sale section. EDIT. Just noticed that cab is now sold.
