I have one of these...  highly recommended. Small, lightweight and powerful. I partner mine with an EBS Microbass pedal rather than a Sansamp, but either way it sounds great. I put mine on an angled stand and a modest pedal board sits underneath.

Cool. So you have it sitting in front of you?

Had a few gigs lately where the sound out front has been great, but the sound onstage is awful to the extent that I (and the drummer) can barely hear the bass. I guess the little wedges you get in most small venues just aren't up to the job. So, I'm looking for a combo (I guess) that will allow me to hear what the heck I'm playing, and that can be miked up and sound good out front too. I really like turning up with just the bass and sansamp, but the drummer's just too loud. I guess the alternative is looking into in-ear monitors?

A-ha! Just the job! Thanks a lot!

Don't suppose you also have a lightweight cab?

Hi chaps,

Looking for a wiring diagram or photo for the 3-way switch on an Ibanez ATK 300. I've googled around and can't find anything terribly useful as my layout doesn't seem to match anything I can find.

This is what it looks like at the moment. For some reason, I can't imagine this is quite right...

 

Thanks!

I'm looking, first, at buying a new bass. I like the look and sound of the Yamaha BBs? Or a Ibanez ATK300? But I don't really know much. I can't really justify spending lots as I'm not very good and I've not got a lot of money. At the minute, I've a Squier Precision that isn't really cutting the mustard. I'm looking for something quite fat, I suppose, that can punch through when the guitarist goes off on one, but I suppose much of that tone comes from the amp/DI etc.?

It  may help obtain usable replies if you could give some indication of the style of original material you're playing..? Any reference bands with similar outlook..? Some idea of the venues and rehearsal rooms you're going to come across would help, too, as would a general idea of your budget (if any...). There are many players with no amp at all; others with stadium-proportion rigs, and all sizes in between. A bit of Precision, please..? 

Hey! Essentially a heavy-rock 3-piece, quite garagey, jammy at times: in the vain of the MC5 meets Hawkwind or similar. I mean, I'm laid totally bare, so it's pretty scary as someone who isn't really a bass player trying to hold everything down!

Usual rehearsal is at a practice where they provide drum kit, PA, and bass amp: so I've just used whatever they have. Venues is just pubs, clubs < 100 people. I dunno, we might occasionally get bigger gigs or a support slot with a bigger act.

Hi all! I've been playing guitar for a million years, but have, as of a few months ago, got into BASS! I've been recruited into an originals band and am just about keeping up. However, I don't know anything about bass gear and how to sound good onstage. We've had a few gigs and I've been fortunate that I've been able to borrow one of the other bands' rigs and just plugged in. I've a couple more gigs coming up and some recording in the new year. It's probably about time I educated myself. I've been reading around and it's amazingly confusing! What is a good, simple source of information that lays it out straight? Do I even need an amp? I don't imagine I'll play many gigs where there isn't a house PA: so can I just use that? I'm embarrassingly ignorant.

Does this bass still exist? Is it white?
