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 ?

100% they're Mk 2's

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 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 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. https://www.amazon.co.uk/XMSJSIY-6-35mm-TS-Gold-Plated-Cable-50cm/dp/B0BWLXSTZ9/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1ADHRXOWEMFR7&keywords=1%2F4"+Male+to+Dual+Mono+1%2F4"+Female+Adapter&qid=1703168894&s=electronics&sprefix=1%2F4+male+to+dual+mono+1%2F4+female+adapter+%2Celectronics%2C130&sr=1-3

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.

Or if you're stoned...

Humble, but beautiful.

Another beauty Rob, fantastic looking axe

John has just left my gaff with one of my fretlesess basses. Top notch fella, and thanks for a painless transaction

Darren bought a cab off me, another painless deal with the man. Chinwag, cuppa, and out. Done. A gent and a scholar. Cheers bud.

This is our band's philosophy. We dont play out of the county we all live in. We dont haul our own gear and band PA up any stairs. We dont do weddings. We dont do pay to play. We dont play for less than £250 for our 5 piece. Unless it's a Green King pub, ( our agent deals with those monkeys ), we get paid on the night. End of. We're happy to play a gig per month, because that's what we want. On a rare occasion, like 2 weeks ago, we had back to back gigs on a Friday and Saturday. But it's rare, and that's ok, but we dont make a point in doing such double gigs. We're not bothered if if we get a small crowd, because our fee is still the same. No one can really predict such things anyways. It happens. We still get paid. Our agent has had great feedback from venues, and we get repeat bookings. Our diary is ok upto April 2024. We stick to what we want. That's it in a nutshell. We wont be hassled into this or that. Thing is, we have fun, first and foremost. No one gets rich playing in a pub / covers band, so gigging is for fun only, but with some small reward. If we get a sniff that some venue would be a disaster, we say NO. Period. Our band is made up of 5 non egotisical blokes, who all get on. Even rehearsals are a laugh. That's rare in itself . Life is good
