  1. I recorded 5 DI boxes I owned (no, I don't know either). One was the BSS we all know and love, one was the Behringer we see everywhere. To all intents and purposes I could hear no difference between those two. There was an old, knackered cheap one in the mox which turned out to be not nice, but otherwise they were much of a muchness.
  2. TBF, he is not wrong. I have played it and it is a thing of joy.
  3. Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel about the fretless.
  4. Plugging into a desk can be fine and dandy. However, a piezo DB pickup with no buffer, going into a line level jack socket will sound horrible. This would be MUCH less of an issue for a passive electric bass but I would not automatically expect THE TOOOOONE! An active bass would be a safer bet.
  5. The BC way this not is.
  6. Is it possible to set up an alert if someone posts an advert for that thing I have always fancied?
  7. I would be looking at the East option. It will be done and dusted then. Staying passive is a thing but I am not convinced that you are going to get that step up you are hoping for with a better passive loom. An East will come through the classifieds at some stage. Everything does.
  8. This is a very wise decision. The best decision.
  9. Sadness. This is not the BC way.
  10. If I had not gone the way of FRFR I would be all over this like a bad rash. These punch WAY above their weight and this would make a superb cab for when you cannot be bothered (or do not need) to haul that 2x12 or 4x10.
  11. I have been astonished at how different basses respond to different flats. I have a set of Chromes on a P bass and everything is fabulous. I had Chromes on another bass and they were just not for me. I also had TI Flats on a 33" bass with a string retainer bar behind the nut. The tension was way tighter than I expected.
  12. Trumpeters Volume? Check. High notes? Check. Subtlety? Not always.
  13. I am telling myself that I do not need this. What is the RAM content? Is it user uprgradable? SSD size? Thanks.
  14. Don't forget the passive tone option. Yummy.
  15. I am not anywhere near decent speakers at the moment so cannot listen. Does it make a guitar able to imitate a bass. I would love to mess with my telecaster and a plectrum and make it sound an octave down and like a bass. Nothing polyphonic. Just a nice, fat, dur-d-duur-dur-d-duur.
  16. Mr East used to sell them mounted in boxes. If it floats your boat (and there are all sorts of reasons it would) then I would buy one and mount it in the smallest box possible. I had a J-retro bell plate mounted on a box a long time ago.
  17. I lifted a Tricky Audio cab once. I actually LOL'd. Astonishing weight to performance ratio. In a good way.
  18. There is nothing like a well balanced design. That is nothing like a well balanced design.
  19. That is a fine looking (and playing) axe.
  20. The first Pretenders album is almost perfection. Plenty of rock on there.
  21. Sooooooooo oooooorange. In a good way.
  22. At the risk of opening a can of worms, if we know the spec of a given fan, is it possible to replace it with a better aftermarket one? I have had amps I liked but could not use due to fan issues.
  23. That ends my argument then!
