EBS MICROBASS 3 in minty good condition. Moved over to a Veyron amp, so surplus to requirements. Nonetheless, a superb piece of equipment.
Collection no problem. Free postage to mainland UK
-
Buy one of these for £6.31 posted and cut the tube off, and leave an inch of tube so some of it will poke inside the cab, and run a bead of silicone round it to keep it in place.
My mistake - £6.51

Removing a plaster from a wound is 10 x more painful than just ripping it off in one go, rapido.
Ask female lady vox to meet in a cafe.
Seagull : " Hi "
Female lady vox : " What's up ? "
Seagull : " Foxtrot Oscar "
Female lady vox : " ?? "
Seagull : " Bye "
Plaster successfully ripped off.

AS someone that used to be a drummer and gigged extensively with a Roland V kit, i can say most of the problems are down to user input / output.
Having said that, E drum kits were not that brilliant when they first emerged. But improvemenst are always made in any tech every year, so today they're pretty fabulous, as long as the drummer bothers to go into the brain and tweak. They certainly dont sound good if they're swamped in reverb. The only drum that possibly needs reverb is the snare, and even then, a short gated reverb is all thats required. Subtlety is everything. EQ ing BD , Toms, and Snare takes time but the balance that can be achieved over acoustic kits is way superior, and no mics required, which saves a LOAD of hassle
I loved my Roland , but i would love todays kits even more if i was still playing drums. I wouldn't hesitate to use another. But bass has been my wepaon for over 20 years now.

I'm a take 2 basses to gigs, but i use them both. One fretted, one fretless.
I like to live on the edge so dont take spares, apart from 2 x 9v batts for my 18v active fretted

I like these guys for loop switchers/ A/B box type stuff
https://www.swiftpedals.co.uk/loopers.html
They work without power and don't 'pop' when operated
Nice looking boxes Chris, but they're over double the price of rushbo's Wish box

Yep - the LEDS won't work, but it'll do the job.
Not £12 anymore - nearly £18 with postage, but if it does the job ! And it will run on 9v batt, which saves buying a power supply and somewhere to plug it in.

If you don't mind waiting for a few days, I can recommend this:
https://www.wish.com/product/58aed34a9c0dfe067bc0919a
It came from that purveyor of quality electronics; Wish, but it's robust and works well. It's an ABY box and works passively - the power only illuminates the LEDs. With postage and various discount codes, mine cost about £12.
Would it work without the power to the LEDs ? Again, @Chienmortbb

A passive A/B box (footswitch inna box, two input jacks, one output) would fit into a 1590A Hammond box.
That would definately be better than an AB box that needs power. I wonder if @Chienmortbb would recommended it ?
-
Probably a great bit of kit, but if i have to add another box, the AB100 is half that size
-
You got me there .. i dont even know that model.
The only real reason i splashed the cash on the Ibby is because i wanted a 35" scale bass that wasnt too shabby. I was actually looking for a DeArmond Pilot Deluxe 4 Natural NT which i've owned in the past but they're really tricky to find
-
Or maybe use the A/B pedal i have ( Behringer AB 100 ) though its extra baggage and needs power too.
-
That never even crossed my mind. I was just trying to save time.
I'll give the idea up and just manually switch basses.
-
Yup cheers PTP... here's mine in bold
MK-2 Pickups. These can now be upgraded to the new H65 for 5-string models and the H66 for 6-string models. Available in 2JSquared(2J), Original Series (C), Classic Bass (CBC), or Singularity (S).
BTB676
BTB775
BTB575
BTB770pb four string bass. Bartolini does not yet offer upgrades for this pickup shape. The electronics in this model can be upgraded with HR5.2AP/918
-
Passive A/B box negates the need for yet another PS, but its yet another box , so hmmm... i'm weighing it up.
The Ebay item is actually on Amazon, but i hear what you say. I cant tell whether they messed up the description ( it's a Chinese adaptor ) or not. Even if not, the descripton is still odd.
As i mentioned, it simply looks like 2 mono in 1 mono out, yet they mention stereo but i see nothing that makes that jack / adaptor stereo. Surely mono in is mono out ?

My Ibby SR600 and others of the time Court etc had the Mk1 licenced Barts, these are a Reverse P in a Soap Bar.
Sure about being Mk2?
100% they're Mk 2's

The MK2's are not built by Bartolini, they are built under license. Lower output and quite a bit darker than most US made models.
Yes, that was my understanding, but you certainly wouldn't notice a low output. It has as much as my custom Manton. I didnt find them dark, but then i dont have any basses with original Barts to compare

I'd go for an A/B box on the floor so you only have one cable running to the amp?
I should have said i run into a tiny pedal board first, which is just a Wah and a Chorus. There would still only be the single output cable to the amp
Funny you mention A/B boxes as i have 2 ( for some odd reason ) of the Behringer AB100's but its another damn pedal to take and another power supply.
I dont need a power bank because i only have 2 pedals, so i'd have to buy another 9v mains for it, and there's no room on the board for another pedal.
Tricky sitch, really. I'm preferring the first one TBH, as long as it's 2 mono in and 1 mono out, but their description doesnt read that way. I find the description very odd

I'd go with them over the other type, mainly due to the female sockets dangling loose; one snag and you'll be unplugged.
If you're worried they might break, buy spares. Only 97p each from Kenable 👍
I looked at those Kenable types on Amazon and a couple of people said they had connectiopn issues but you never know if they themselves bu$$ered it up.
So maybe it's the answer
-
I should add that the tone from the " Bartolinis " is wonderful combined with the Bart 3 band preamp.
I say " .... " because the bass is Indonesian built, so the Mk 2 Barts may not be American. Or maybe they ARE American but just built under licence because of cheaper labour, but which ever it is, the tones available are brill.

This is the alternative but these type look flimsy and vulnerable

I need a 2 female mono jack in to single mono male jack out adapter, for 2 basses into one amp input and this looked like a candidate, but their info / blurb is somewhat confusing. It simply looks like a dual mono female jack to a single mono male jack to me, but read what they say... not cheap either for just an adapter
This 1/4 TS male to 2 female splits the instrument's mono output into two identical signals. Note: This 1/4 TS Y splitter adapter cable receives the stereo signal and divides it 1 into 2, converting it into two separate stereo outputs, it cannot combine the two outputs into one input.
-
As of earlier today, just scored me this beaut that i didn't need. Why oh why oh why do i keep shovelling money at basses. Time to see a mind mechanic.
It is stunning though.
