Amazing bass - if this was a 6, I'd be all over it. -
I need something that can handle a huge amount of volume... maybe the Eich BC212 will be something to try for me. Main problem is that I live in the arse end of nowhere and I'm also mindful that going somewhere like Bass Direct, etc. to say "eerrrhhhh I need to really crank this at full volume while using multiple delay pedals, reverb, a Darkglass Alpha Omega while hitting an open B, fifth octave very hard" may not go down all that well with Mark.

Sorry for the lack of context - I’m mainly trying to see what others are using and do a bit of research based on people’s recommendations. I’ve tried quite a few combos and so far the Eich BC112Pro has been the best for me - but I’m still not fully satisfied with anything I’ve used. I’m also not looking to go with a separate head and cabinet as I’d like to avoid carrying more individual pieces of equipment/cables around.

Combo recommendations - which ones have you tried, which are you currently using, which would you suggest and which would you purchase if you don't already own it?

I’m after a booster pedal that’ll enable bass solos to stand out more that’s the same size as the TC Electronic Mini Spark but has an EQ setting. Anyone know if this’d work? I don’t want to buy one and potentially have to return it. Anyone have recommendations too? https://aguilaramp.com/en-int/products/db316-mid-eq-pedal?srsltid=AfmBOorh-gPs47Ycmu7DJ2-jhDdAQaa4ttBQl9RLKLQ9FkMV7pM3fZwt

Would this work? https://amzn.eu/d/b29gDsO

I love Smith Burner basses - I contacted Ken Smith a few months ago to ask if a six-string would be possible - unfortunately it was a no so I've gone the Maruszczyk route.

NBD (2 of 2): Ken Smith Hadrien Feraud Burner 5
thebassist replied to Mikey D's topic in Bass Guitars
Awesome two basses. I wish Smith would do a current day Burner as a six-string. I’ve asked and they’ve said no. -
Not too far off @crazycloud? I say get selling 😂
-
Ha, you’re right on both counts there! Thanks a lot Pete. -
Thanks a lot for the kind words. Cheers very much mate. Had two trade offers but ideally looking for sale only at the moment.

Moved on via eBay - Tone City Tape Machine delay effects pedal

Hi @eude - I've had a few days with the bass now and it really is brilliant. I wanted the advantages of neck-through while trying to get as close to the sound of a bolt-on as possible hence the wood selections and pickup positioning - I think it is as close as I could have gotten it.
