Yeah, and me but ended up buying a class ab power amp last night. This thread and the one about the sansamp into a QSC power amp coincided with me spending some time playing with the bass pod xt I’ve had for years but only really use as a headphone amp! With lots of tweaking you can get some great tones so plan is to go from the pod to the power amp and do all the shaping on the pod. If that works out I I might look into some other possibilities as I’d prefer a rack mounted pre/effects over the floor unit.

How does the eq work on those? All i can see is the mid scoop function?

Here are mine. My fantastic Ray34 with Delano hybrid system and my bitsa jazzray.v.p

Nope, we’re talking Cornish covers band here. Be good if it was!

It’s a shame there’ isn’t more rack stuff available. I really don’t understand why everyone wants their gear cluttering up the floor. Much easier to twiddle knobs if they’re not on the floor too.

In the 90’s there was a bass player around here who played with his left hand upside down so his fretting fingers spanned from the top of the fretboard down. Looked odd but I remember him being a really good bass player

Thanks Phil that’s really helpful. Parcel2go is exactly what I need 👍

I already have one 😉

Psycho killer coulda be good - and I know that already 👍

Good shout. I’m sure we must all know message in bottle😂

No chance I’m going to be able to play that’ in a few weeks!

Awesome - hadn’t thought of blondie, great drummer 👍

I have a bit of a try out with a newish band in a months time. I know the guitar player and the singer (the three of us are in another band)but not the drummer. The guitar player knows the drummer and thinks the drummer and I will play together well. He’s asked for song suggestions that we could learn that would be a good test for bass and drum co-operation. We’re looking more at pop than rock and it’s not really an area I’ve got a lot of experience in! We have one so far which is probably typical of the kind of thing we’re taking about and that’s Rio by Duran Duran. Can anyone suggest any others? by the way I’m rubbish at slap! cheers

Don’t really want to overcome it, I enjoy tinkering with stuff and making it mine - for fun.

I really dislike colour matched headstocks and my highly customised Ray34 has one (black). How feasible is it to strip the paint and refinish clear with a new set of decals ? I’m pretty good with sandpaper but wonder how deep into the grain the black paint might go?

My rumble 115 cab has been up for sale for a while at a bargain price so it looks like I’ll need to add a shipping option if I want to get it gone. Any recommendations how to do this? I’d like to be able to drop it off somewhere rather than have it collected as I’m out at work all week. cheers.

Do you want both signals going to the same pre amp or to different pre amps?

What do you want your bass amp to do ? for me the answer would be lightweight head with headphone output and stereo aux in for practice at home, onboard compression, versatile tone and enough power driving my 210 cab for loud band rehearsals and small gigs.

How did you get on with the pf800?

Maybe your bass is overloading the pre-amp. I’d try it at a low volume setting on the amp and turn the volume pot on the bass down until the distortion goes then turn the amp volume back up and see if it stays clean.
