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 😀

So the Eq of both amps are the same. Good to know.

Hi Does someone has tested the difference (in term of Sound) between the TC Bam 200 and the Warwick Gnome ? Does someone can tell me if , making the Eq of the Bam flat, I will get the sound of the Warwick ? Those two amps are so similar. I have the Bam, but I’m not sure the EQ fits to me, and may be I could change for a Warwick. - Diagram of the Bam to make it flat: Thank’s for your answers. Alain

Hi Could you tell us a bit more about this wireless ? I could be interested Thank's for your answer

Reading us, It seems that some of us say that it can become very hot, and others don’t. Mine stay cool. Are there good numbers and bad one ???

With only 200 W, you need to set the gain quite high to have a good level. So the light turns quickly to green and stay there. The weight of that amp is more around 2 lbs instead of 1. For the EQ, here is a file to know how to set the TC 200 Bam flat. Could help, after every body can do his own. ToneStack BAM200.pdf

This is exactly my experience with the Xvives. Stupid thing not to be abble to change the battery. This is why I choose the Smoothound that words with classic AAA Battery. https://www.smoothhound-innovations.com/classic-wireless-guitar-system

I have the MXR micro amp. For bass guitar, it could be a clean boost, but not for double bass who need a real clean clean boost. Depend what you want and play. I have tested, MXR, Ampeg Classic Analog Bass Preamp witch is just a preamp but can give you 20 db, but if you could find an Empress para EQ, this one will give you a real 30 db of clean clean sound, + the EQ.

HI I come back to the discution about the MK Bass. Do you have a link where I could see that bass ? Thank's by advance

Happy Christmas

There are surely a lot of things that can be used to clean nylon strings, We could ask every body having a million of different answers. But if you never tried it, This is not an advice to give to people.

Have you ever tested it on Nylon strings ?

Yes, and removing the strings, putting them back every time could be a little boring 😀

I also use tapewounds strings and as I read that products used on metal strings can damage them, I went to classical nylon guitar site and read that they take the strings apart and wash them with soap. I don't want to take my strings apart and didn't see how I could use soap on my bass, but I found a rather soft product that washes and greases the strings and the fingerboard a little. again, it's pretty soft. Purchased from Thomann. Not completely sure of the result, it works but it remains soft. The one I use is this one https://www.thomann.de/fr/lapella_no.34_single_cleaning_wipe.htm There is also this one witch I don't know https://www.thomann.de/fr/lapella_no.31_cleaning_wipes_set.htm

😀

I'll probably order one , a clear one, and let you know, but it will not be soon

Yes. Thank's for your answer
