BF Two10 £519, Vanderkley MNT210 £725, Eich 210M £799 BF Super Compact, £569 Aguilar DB112 £709, Mesa Boogie Subway 112 £799 BF might cost more than cheap cabs but they are very reasonably priced in comparison to the quality cab league. [/quote] +1. Oh and of course the Darkglass 210 at over £900. Lest we forget.

It depends on which of the TKS range you go for. My 1126 would never be giggable with 40w as the drivers take quite a lot of power to get the best out of them. However, I know that the drivers in the S112 cabs are more sensitive and may therefore be a better choice. I would +1 the suggestion of Barefaced too as they are known to use sensitive drivers and are also notoriously lightweight. Get in touch with Mcnach on this forum, he has owned TKS S112 cabs in the past, as well as Barefaced Big Baby 2s. He's currently running a pair of Barefaced 210s so he will be able to give you the best comparison of them all.

The sibling to mine! Great basses.

[quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1507882970' post='3388485'] Wow! That's a good price from a firm with a great brand. However are their cabs likely to be anywhere near as good as the newbie DG gear, which is obviously going to be premium product given its price point? [/quote] I suspect the're just as good.

Wait a minute...how would a Josh Wah replace your Filter Twin and Two Notes Le Bass? Am I missing something?? I haven't got one because I'm saving for a new bass. Well actually that's a lie as I've just bought a Crowther Prunes & Custard from this very forum. Still - a new bass is on the horizon!

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1507749962' post='3387771'] Why would you presume that? If there's more gubbins in it and an extra feature, I'd expect it to cost a little more, not be the same. [/quote] Alright. Replace "presumably" with "hopefully"...

The Ojais come with DC cables with a right angle jack on one end and a straight jack on the other. So a trade off will have to made I guess.

My first suggestion would be a Strymon Ojai, which would require a little bit of foot-raising on a Nano/Metro board, however Strymon are soon to release the Ojai R30 which has a more flexible outputs (two of which are switchable 9/12/18v) AND it's slightly shallower in depth so will fit under a Nano or Metro without any modification. Each of its outputs provides up to 500mA of isolated power each. Running the switchable outlets at 12/18v will lower the max current for those individual outputs but still delivers a jot of juice. I power my entire main board off of a single Ojai with some judicious daisy chaining and absolutely love it. Should work incredibly since you're going down the route of several modular boards, as the Ojai supppies can be chained meaning you only need one mains cable running to the wall. 100% worth the money IMO. Check the R30 out: http://www.strymon.net/products/ojai-r30/

Ah, that would make some sense - I was under the impression that the second footswitch disabled the octave up altogether but I must have been thinking of a different model. One would expect, though, to be able to dial out the low octave, the clean or the high octave entirely with the sweep of the associated knob. Seems like an odd decision - if that is in fact normal behaviour.

Zero in the sense that, in theory, there shouldn't be any sound at all? If so then that's very weird.

My T16 (octave down only) has the same thing. It's just the character of the octave down sound, but can be dialled out with a little turn of the Filter knob. Edit: unless you mean the filter knob doesn't get rid of the upper harmonic sound?

Damn. I must have missed that!

Ah, good news. Glad to be of assistance

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1507643626' post='3386944'] Unless you've owned an acoustic bass then you realise what a waste of money they are... It is cheap though... [/quote] Sadly, for the most part, I have to agree. They're fine if going through IEMs or straight to desk but if you have any significant bass level coming from backline (or if your playing position happens to be anywhere near a PA cab/monitor) then it's a feedback nightmare. To be fair though, I've used my acoustic on touring actor-musician theatre shows with great success - largely due to being able to DI straight to the PA and having sound guys who knew what they were doing. So...depends on the intended usage scenario really.

As has been mentioned, whether you'd like the pedal to track chords or not will have a big impact on what you should go for.

[quote name='Cuzzie' timestamp='1507575901' post='3386490'] Well Cameron you have officially taken the biscuit - i could say mine are a US13, but that means yours are a US14. Not only have you bigger feet, more pedals, but no doubt are a better bass player than me too. Shame you only have a puny 900w amp at your disposal........ [/quote] Well I'm 6ft7 so if my feet were much smaller than a 13 I'd look a bit weird glad my feet aren't any bigger though as I'd start getting into the realms of only being able to buy hideous shoes! I'd strongly argue you're a better player than I. Most of my time is spent GASing over, purchasing and tweaking effects rather than actually practising on the instrument...I must remedy this ASAP.

Wow. A 6 string double bass must take some fine bowing technique.

Aaagh! I wish I hadn't watched that video. Sounds great.

[quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1507551359' post='3386236'] An angled "shimmy" is indeed required, but actually it's not as bad as it looks! I guess I'm lucky to have average sized feet and not Cuzzie's size 12s [/quote] Or my size 13s! Wouldn't be such a problem practicing barefoot in my bedroom but I'd struggle with it live.

Well, I'm currently eating my hat. Looks like quite a delicate tap dance is required to avoid stomping the antennae of your Smooth Hound or knobs on your 2Notes preamp when wanting to engage the T16!

Well observed Al I'm holding fire til I can get to London and try one out at the Yamaha Music Store
