Micro/Mini amps that can have the pre-amp fully bypassed.
Dood replied to Shockwave's topic in Amps and Cabs
I appreciate it's not entirely answering your question, but i thought i'd throw an idea in to the mix. On Friday I filmed a review of a Matrix power amp that is 'optimised for guitar processors'. The company i've known about for many years but i gotta say the GT1600 amp, simply driven from a normal preamp pedal sounded girthsome and certainly loud! 1.6KW and 5 Kg. The thing i reaally liked was that as a high output power amp, it was still much shorter than a shallow rack case. About 22cm deep. My thinking is that this could be an option instead of a bass head with the pre bypassed? -
Hey everyone! Here's a little peach for ya! I'm selling my MB800 which is in excellent condition - it comes with the rather expensive rack mounting kit ([b]£33+p&p[/b] from Thomann) thrown in for free! There's a little marking on the top of the amp but this doesn't of course affect operation and is barely noticeable. This is a super loud and punchy lightweight 1u high head that fits in a gig bag easily! It has a superb tone and unlike the lower models in the range features an all FET preamp that is said to sound and act more like a valve preamplifier rather than the OpAmp MB versions. I can tell you that indeed, as you push the gain control, you get bite rather than ugly distortion! Here's the link to the GK website for the MB heads. There's some guy reviewing the MB800 on the page too.

Pictures to come, quick sale please Currently retailing online at around £569, I am after just [b]£440[/b] having bought it just last year- a massive saving fo'sure! - PM me! - I'm selling only as I have a new upgrade toy coming in! Cheers all, Doood! p.s. the price is very much fixed at £440, a ridiculous offer to you all!!

Ibanez EWB205WNE Acoustic Bass - electro 5 string. **Sold**
Dood replied to Dood's topic in Basses For Sale
Hi everyone! I have to add a little information to this post regarding the condition of the bass. I'm rather gutted to say that at some point over the last week a small dink has appeared on the back of the bass. It's about 3mm long. It doesn't affect the bass playability and won't get seen in use, but it's something I have to mention in the sale! I've knocked a tenner off the price to £320 however, I really can't do a deal on shipping as it will still be sent fully insured. -

Have a look at the other B3 and MS60B threads chap - there's a lot to read and they vary in operation, but I can tell you as I own both, the quality is the same in both and they are astounding value for money.

I'm subscribing to this one too as I may be in the market for an upgrade. I'm using Roland RH-200 which are really good clarity but I think after many years of heavy use one of the cones has developed a rattle. Or.... it's my ear bones finally shredding! lol!

I for some reason rather like the idea of having question marks as a logo on my cabs!

How would you approach bass if you had only one finger on each hand?
Dood replied to xilddx's topic in General Discussion
If it were a change that were forced upon me, (through accident for example) then I'd probably start by taking a huge amount of psychological support from the likes of Rick Allen and the awesome Bill Clements who are just two who have rebuilt their playing and career after a loss of a limb. An incredible inspiration to all musicians. -

[quote name='iceonaboy' timestamp='1372753838' post='2129401'] I cant see what the problem is when guys say they like the look of female bass players. I mean, the playing is all important, but Im a red blooded guy. I cant look at a female bass player and not check her out. You do it without thinking. Obviously a girl who is good looking and talented becomes even more attractive because she has looks AND ability. If Im being sexist, I apologise, but I really am not trying to be. I appreciate the music, but if the girl playing is attractive. All the better [/quote] The difference is the way that you have said it. Telling a female musician that you find her attractive and that she is talented is very different from toilet mouthed innuendo and sexist comments that aren't welcomed.

[quote name='peteb' timestamp='1372716659' post='2129190'] It is undeniable that, for a variety of reasons, girls only make up a small proportion of the people playing musical instruments in beat combos. Girls who do decide to follow this path, be they singers or bass players (and I know a few) or whatever, find themselves not only dealing with a rather masculine environment but also one that tends to attract a rather knockabout and not particularly politically correct sense of humour. IME the girls who prosper tend to be those who are happy to be ‘one of the boys’ and take all of this type of nonsense in their stride! One thing that does confuse me – I always assumed that this was a forum for musicians… or bass players at least! I imagine that most members either are, or aspire to be, gigging musicians. I don’t see how this makes BC a ‘family forum’? To be honest I never really thought that travelling 30 miles in a van to play rock music in some type of (often less than salubrious) licensed premises and getting back home at 3 o’clock in the morning was a particularly family orientated pursuit… [/quote] The Basschat audience is made up of people from all walks of life and ages. Therefore Basschat asks users to be mindful and respectful of their fellow users of this community. Whether or not they are at school and have picked up their first bass or a retired weekend warrior - the community spirit should still be respected right? That's what makes the forum family orientated. .

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1372712660' post='2129127'] Then you reading me all wrong , dood . I am only drawing attention to the fact that other members - certainly [u]not [/u]me - go gaga over any reasonably presentable woman who plays the bass . Why do they do that ? Does playing the bass make a woman more alluring to them ? It certainly doesn't to me , and I am perfectly entitled to feel that way . Humourous remarks aside , the bass guitar is a very male - dominated instrument , and has always been so , to the extent that there must be good reason for that state of affairs . Just like so many other roles on society , which musical instruments people learn to play is more often than not assigned along gender lines . Women are far more likely to be backing singers in a band than bass guitarists , or drummers for that matter . None of this is coincidence , nor is any of it of my making , so why people seem to want to hold me responsible because I have pointed it out , I am not entirely sure . [/quote] I'd say that it was your choice of delivery then. I was always taught to be 'aware of your audience' when despatching thoughts and opinions. I'm not suggesting for one minute that you aren't allowed said, but being as this is a family forum that relies on the written word for tone in the absence of facial expression (or other 'real life' clues) as to what you are trying to suggest, your posts have been misinterpreted. Emoticons are useful for example

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1372704361' post='2128877'] I agree , too . Time and again on this site people ( males ) go daft over any half - decent looking woman who happens to play the bass . Have they never seen a woman before ? More's to the point , why would them having a bass in their hands make them so irresistable ? I would be seriously put off any girl who played the bass - it's just not very alluring. I like to see a woman with a hoover or a saucepan in her hands rather than a bass , then I know she is in her element and I feel happy for her . [/quote] I really hope you're joking. The message you are sending in your posts in this thread are pretty embarrassing - I mean, talk about making women feel unwelcome. Come on, the discussion is about bass tone.
