  1. Hiya I meant about going into the balanced line in on the top of the MB (it's a CMD121 combo) from my pedalboard to reduce noise then use the amp's DI to go to front of house - that is when i'm using the amp - i was just wondering if using a Preamp into XLR in on MB would cause any problems? ta
  2. Hi All Mark Bass manual isn't clear - but the balanced line in - i take it it's for double bass inputs but could you take DI output from MXR Bass DI into balanced input - i'm guessing this doesn't bypass the power amp - instead you'd need to use the FX send and return to bypass the power amp I think i answered my own question but wanted to check the bass brain whats best as i want the pedal board to be the source of my sound and the Mark Bass to be a monitor which i can use or not use if i choose ta in advance - my tiny brainand lack of MB details on manual doesnt help
  3. Great pedal as you'll all now, it's only about a month old - just going down different route - so surplus to requirements - has velcro on bottom Here's what MXR say about the Bass Preamp The MXR Bass Preamp combines a pristine bass preamp with a studio-quality Direct Out in a Phase 90-sized box, providing clear tone without hogging precious pedalboard space. Use it to add a new voice to an old passive bass, sweeten up any amp, or put some special sauce on a particular song. Dial it in just the way you want it and send it straight to the house-pre or post-EQ-with the built-in Direct Out. The Bass Preamp features separate INPUT and OUTPUT level controls and a 3-band EQ section with sweepable midrange-from 250hz to 1khz-for extensive tonal flexibility. It's all delivered super clean with high headroom thanks to our own Constant Headroom Technology, and you can use the PRE/POST EQ switch to set whether or not your Direct Out signal is affected by the Bass Preamp's EQ section. And of course, the Bass Preamp features a GROUND LIFT switch in case you encounter ground loop hum. The Bass Preamp is factory preset to operate in 1/4" out buffered bypass and Direct Out active. For players who only want to use the 1/4" out, there are two internal switches that disable the Direct Out and 1/4" out buffered bypass for true 1/4" out bypass mode. £125 posted in original box plus bubble wrap and outer box to UK
  4. Yes certainly one of best pedal compressors I’ve used.
  5. Cheers yes. Very useful and quality
  6. Going the Katana head route new MXR bass preamp -£130 new bass clone chorus £40 Semour Duncan studio bass compression £120 board £15 Bag £5 PSU with daisy chain £10 Or all for £250 plus £10 post to uk - no offers please as priced to sell individual pedals boxed and posted £5 each
  7. I’ve gone with MXR 81 as although I use my mark bass the time controls will be handy to go ampless - or just di to desk from MXR and use amp as monitor
  8. Thanks but have bought the MXR new from PMT as it’s the one I chose and surprised Gwiz did too
  9. The Getz helping out here. Insane amount of pedals think just going to get the MXR in my price range and that, the radial and the Sushibox sounded great to me. In any near me price range
  10. This looks interesting too https://www.withbassinmind.com/the-pedal Phil Mann endorsed
  11. I saw the Radial in a shoot out with Noble and others that American lad did - that looked good but Tonex One sounds good to check out.
  12. Great I’ll look at Tonex definitely
  13. Howdy DIs seem to now have all bells and whistles- I have a very simple board - tuner, Seymour Duncan Bass Compressor, chorus - I’d like a decent very simple DI - I can’t afford a Noble, I don’t do enough gigs to justify but I like it’s simple 3 button unit - but in studios I’ve used Reddi DI - so does anyone have any recommendations? up to 100-200£
  14. New pedal - has led lights and multi functions to sculpt compression

  15. This has got a nice feeling neck - it’s got some heft to it - I played the JMJ and I prefer this neck - but I put Alnico 5 pups in this to get the bite the JMJ has - but no worries a JMJ is a good bass - though I think this is better but short scale isn’t for me hence sale
  16. Hi it’s 38mm. Balances nicely on a strap - I usually use a suede strap so just found an old embroidered strap and balances perfectly
  17. 8lbs - nice and light and yes it’s a cracker
  18. Reluctant sale but needs must-ang ha CIJ Fender Mustang bass - serial number comes up 1994 (and was bought by me advertised as 94( but CIJ started 1997 - so Q should be 02-04. Then again apparently there were some CIJ used as a crossover- so It’s either 22 or 30 years old - anyway it’s a cracker. Sanded and waxed body (bought like this) gives it a really beautiful aged look and very resonant, set up with brand new TI lightest guage flats - so very low tension - I’ve also had the neck gloss sanded off and olied by luthier pal - super fast to play. I’ve had him install hand wound Northern Pickups vintage Alnico 5 pickups (like the JMJ) which came on a parchment guard (original tort guard will be included but not original pickups)- 7.6 k - lifetime guarantee- which has given it a bit more bit than old stock ones - please note that the thumbrest isn’t installed on the new pickguard Has a kiog0n solder less loom bought on here from the man himself - with wooden knobs (original blank ones will be included) I first reported an issue where I thought shielding might be needed. Turned out to be a faulty bass pedal as issue was with jazz bass too - now it’s fine again Comes with fitted gig bag which is a good fit. Price is lowest I can let go for to claw back what I paid plus the money I’ve thrown at it. Easily better than the JMJ neck and feels very much like the 76 MIA I had. Collect from Clitheroe or will meet up within 30 miles for petrol or £20 posted to UK only
  19. Sold some strings to Dave - fast payment, good communication 👍👍👍
  20. A couple of days old - I play flats and just not for me. Super zingy and harmonics for days - The E string has been cut with about 5 inches of wind left - rest not cut £25 posted- grab basically a new set for half price I don’t want to think about the money I’ve spent on new strings esp TI flats 🧐
  21. Long scale 43/56/70/100 (packing is from my new short scale light age) Cut for a Gibson style headstock with 2-2 configuration will also for through body short scale or should fit medium scale top loader price including postage
  22. Im getting involved in a new project where a jazz set up with some groundwounds might be the thing. I really like the green one. So seeing your comment has made me think yeah why not. Laura Lee’s SX is sxy 😂
  23. Unknown brand - Chromes? Longish scale - comes from string through mustang - lowish tension - nice sounding price includes postage
  24. Less than month old La Bella mustang string through bass strings - cut and seated for Mustang string thru bass - gigged twice. 43/60/82/104 guage just prefer TIs. What I love about these la bellas is the polished feel - so smooth- the TIs are bit sticky (which is annoying) but slightly lower tension which I’m used to Price includes postage - so half price new strings
