Salut Monsieur Sandy 😀 Yes, I have a Sinsonido Fretless bass I bought in UK, I love it and may be would like to make it my regular bass for giging, So light. And … Yes, I have problems with the PCB 😀 - First of all, I have a muddy sound that oblige me to use a High pass filter at full conter clockwise at 140 Hz, cuting every things below. I don't think it is the same problem that K Barad ahd others explain. my tone control works, bringing a lot of treeble if I want, but the muddy stays if not using a HPS. - Second, the output level is too much, cranking the amp. The same jack for headphone and amp is not a good idea. Fortunately, the HPF I use solve that problem. It's a Francis Deck one: https://sites.google.com/site/hpftechllc/home/hpf-pre - To end, the jack is a bit old. I search for replacing it, here is a picture of it; I found some ideas at Thoman but not sure they are the same. If someone could have some links to buy the same as original one, thank's by advance. Or if someone has the shema of the new Sinsonido with two jacks, one for headphones, one for the amp, that would help me to understand the connection. - And to end again, but that's not a problem, I love so much this bass and was a bit afraid it stop working when giging, that I bought a Lace Sensor Pickup but not yet fixed it, just a tried it to hear. It words, giving me a sort of jazz bass sound. A spare pick up in case of. Links for the jacks I found: 1 https://www.thomann.de/gb/tad_jack_socket_stereo_114bpc.htm?shp=eyJjb3VudHJ5IjoiZ2IiLCJjdXJyZW5jeSI6NCwibGFuZ3VhZ2UiOjJ9&reload=1 2 https://www.thomann.de/gb/neutrik_nj_5_fdv.htm?shp=eyJjb3VudHJ5IjoiZ2IiLCJjdXJyZW5jeSI6NCwibGFuZ3VhZ2UiOjJ9&reload=1 Link to the Lace Sensor pickup https://www.thomann.de/gb/lace_pickups_ultra_slim_bass_pickup_usab.htm?shp=eyJjb3VudHJ5IjoiZ2IiLCJjdXJyZW5jeSI6NCwibGFuZ3VhZ2UiOjJ9&reload=1 Picture of my actual jack below Thanks to every one to have reading me and could help me. Special thank's to Monsieur Sandy. Alain

If i understand correctly, your preamp bypass the original one, and is not added to the original one ? You do not keep the original one ? Thank’s for your answer.

Does the EQ of the Gnome seems to you better than the Bam, or why do you put the Gnome in first ? I find the Bam a little bit too hot. Thank's for your answer

You could always go at Talkbass on the double bass side to ask, because generaly double bass player use the most cleanest amp of the world. https://www.talkbass.com/forums/amps-mics-pickups-db.4/

HI, I had the aswer from Warwick: No diffce in power between the old and the new one: With regards to the Gnome, they are both identical, the V2 has, because ot the demand from the community, an AUX-input, that´s all.

I use this one. https://www.thomann.de/fr/sela_se_005_cajon_bag_black.htm You have a little space more to take your amp and cables. I use it with a trolley, never tested it as a back pack.

If you get one, please tell us if you find a difference between the two.

Talking about the Gnome I pro, there is a new one called V2. https://shop.warwick.de/en/amplifier/bass-amps/bass-amp-heads/36949/warwick-gnome-i-pro-v2-pocket-bass-amp-head-with-usb-interface-and-aux-input-300-watt Has an Aux imput, Also for the new one Warwick write 300 W at 4 ohms instead of 280 W for the original one, but still write 180 W for both of them at 8 ohms. I wonder if they change something inside or not, to write 20 W more for the new V2 one, or just marketing ?

For that I use Transcribe on my computer https://www.seventhstring.com/xscribe/overview.html

HI I have noticed an interesting topic on talkbass about battery powered amp: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/diy-tiny-battery-powered-bass-amp-tutorial.1515245/?utm_source=pocket_saves

have you thought about the Markbass Micromark 801 ? Not as powerfull as a 10, but can handle a soft drummer and small to carry

Yes, don't know if it's 100 W under 8 or 4 ohms

that's not my opinion. I have one, I think they sound good, easy to carry, just heavy

Exact, heavy, yes

There is an interesting thread on Talkbass about that: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/diy-tiny-battery-powered-bass-amp-tutorial.1515245/

I must say that I am a bit septic about expensive cables vs cheap one, thinking it’s more a marketing aspect instead of a real difference in sound. When I see the price of the monster cables … Now, Chienmortbb, reading you on different thread, I must say that I have respect for what you write, and I am open to learn and change my mind, so: Using only short cables: 10 ft, is there a difference in sound between cheap cables and good cables for that length ? My set up is: active or passive bass, 10 ft cable I made myself with Black Zilk Cable to go to preamp, and after a cheap cable to go to the amp. Black Zilk: https://www.thomann.de/fr/sommer_cable_the_spirit_black_zilk.htm. Rockboard Cable: https://www.thomann.de/fr/rockboard_flat_lead_cable_300cm_s_s_blk.htm. Could I do better ? Thank’s shearing your impressions. This thread is really interesting and I could add to Nekomatic ’S post : difference between Speakon and Jack, knowing that for ex. TC Bam or Elf use jack output for a 200 W power ? And do you say (excuse my English): Difference between floating ground and not ?

Thank's for your work

some new buyers report some problems. Have mine for a year with no problems.

Yes, putting the gain at max and playing loud, you can hear a sort of compression for protection. Good you choose the Gnome instead of the Bam, cause for the moment some of us says they have electronic problems with the Bam.

Phil, Thank's for your input. So, Bam and Gnome share the same EQ. It's just a question of color 😀
