During my meaningless wanderings around the parish I find myself looking more and more at random pieces of wood or broken down wooden things and wondering if I can sequestrate said timber on @Jabba_the_gut‘s behalf. I wish I knew more about wood/timber in order to be more discerning and actually purloin some lumber rather than gaze thoughtfully at it.
I have been discussing a stealth fretless build with @Jabba_the_gut but the more I look at this thread the more I think I’d just like a matching fretless!

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing but I think that’s because I totally ignored the songs, or rather none of them did anything musically or lyrically that aroused the slightest interest. Also I was waiting for Madonna, I’m hardly what you’d call a fan but as her career is on the downslope and this was a worldwide broadcast I thought she might do something radical or even controversial, unfortunately not, in fact she just blended quite well into the unremarkable pap.

There's very little I can see, in people's lists, that was recorded in the 21st century.
You are right, one of my always there albums, recorded in 2017 English Tapas - Sleaford Mods, best album for years.

Fender Kingman is the loudest acoustic bass I’ve ever played but I’m afraid I agree with most commenters on this thread, I don’t think it’ll be heard above the other instruments/voices you are performing with. Get a small amp and you suddenly get a much wider choice.

I got the impression that the Alix is a single channel version of the Felix (sorry if I am starting internet folklore here). In which case it is a lovely preamp. The Felix would have shown you what the Alix would do. In this kind of situation I would be all "distance selling" buy it to try it and then send it back for a full refund if it is not for me.
I’m an idiot not to have tried the Felix out...

I have a Felix. I had it at the Bass Bash.
Sorry, you did not want to hear that.
I saw the Felix but that has a channel for pugging the instrument into and one for a mic from the instrument in order to blend signals, I think? I don’t need the mic so I assumed the Alize would be the way to go?

I don’t know why but just this last week of two I’ve been wondering how a Fender P would feel to play, never liked the look of them, always preferred a jazz or even an Aerodyne. I’m a five minute walk from PMT, it’s lunch break...

I am considering replacing my Fishman Platinum Pro preamp with the Grace Designs Alix. Now my usual MO is to just buy the thing I want without doing any comparison but not this time, well, not if at all possible that is. So, does anyone out there own a Grace Designs Alix, Felix or Bix that I can try or does anyone have experience of the Grace Designs preamps in comparison with the Fishman? Also, if I do go for the Alix, this will mean getting a separate compressor as the Fishman has one built in (already talking myself out of the Alix). I have no complaints about the Fishman, I’m just wondering if the Alix is really going to be noticeably superior?
Any thoughts or opinions welcome.

Welcome! Your carpet/wallpaper combo is giving me acid flashbacks man. Keep playing, whatever you do, just keep playing.

Numpty question here,
I've got an active bass and use the new zoom B1 Four to have a bit of fun at home with headphones. I was debating buying a small amp and cab for playing with a guitaris and drummer i.e. something relative affordable like TE Elf with small cab or TC Electroinic 250W with a small cab.
Would I be better off buying an active full range speaker and go straght from the ZOOM B1 four into that? And what would you recommned if the budget is small and I mostly jam in small setting with a drummer and guitarist (using Kemper Amp).
Cheers
Obviously I’m going to say yes to your question but on that budget I think it’ll be difficult to source a decent one. Where are you based @Dennis1971? You are welcome to try mine out.

Question, what happens if you plug the bass straight into the QSC on its bass amp setting? Is that loud enough?
Just noticed @CameronJ has already answered, as he says, bass straight in is plenty good.
