What is the pattern, omni? A hypercardioid might help. If the level of the channel is very high, put the mic closer and compensate by reducing the volume (or gain).

A 3D-printed set of covers could be a possibility, too.

I see, my bad. I looked at the obsolete version.

That Europower has pre out and power in in the front panel. You could connect a X-over to the pre out and put the highs to power in. From the X-over the low output could be driving the subs. If your subs are passive, an extra power amp is in need. Active subs may have internal X-overs (LPF).

Maybe not understand you, my friend! As far as I have seen these basses, they are usually divided to four parts each, but yes, there are three dividers per fret... Split-fret system, lots of wires under the fretboard...

If you need to do serious monitoring, it is Genelec. If you want to listen to music/radio/YT in the background, maybe you can consider something else. But not plastic toyboxes that cost like £20.

Where did you got yours, and what was the approximate price? Steve's shop is so far away...

Turn the treble down?

A dark and lightweight 5-string Overwater Progress (Custom, because 19 mm is a must) looks very tempting. The price tag doesn't. One luthier is making an unlined fretless 5 to me, so money's too tight to mention.

An update: (First of all, sorry, I have no sound samples.) Our rehearsal place was opened few days ago (it was closed because of the quarantine) and I took the cab there. Plugged to my Glockenklang Soul amp. Sounds surprisingly good, far better than I thought. Goes down low and is relatively loud. We were only 5 today, so the level was more than adequate. Now I would like to find an SWR Interstellar Overdrive for home use with the cab. Before I find one, I think I have plenty of time to paint the cabinet...

A grey Harley Benton Noise Gate NG-100. All parametres can be tweaked easily. Even the effect level. I have one in use and one as a spare. 2nd hand unit costs around £20 or so.

Agree, that is probably the worst "feature" of the unit. I have adjusted the knobs so, that I can turn the knobs to certain values between songs. Helps a lot, because then I know what the settings will be - after a while.

An unorthodox, but costwise solution is to leave the preamp out and put that money to a better pickup. 1 bad + 1 bad = not good. 1 better = same price, isn't it? I have one bass without any adjustments and it is my main bass at the moment. I know the price of the pickup was steep, but I can control the sound through my bass amp, or the pedalboard when in need. https://www.q-tuner.com/product/transparent-q-tuner-q2-0-bass-5-string-pickups/

For me the comp is nearly like a leveler. If I want to make my sound pretty flat dynamically, I will put it in the beginning of the pedal board. Then the effects will get (dynamically) flatter sound and I can not control the behaviour of the effects so much. When the comp is in the end, I have more control over the effects through my playing. An envelope filter is one good example here. But it is also true, that when my hands do not follow my brain, things get more complicated. Another thing is that comps tend to be different with different basses. That's why I have few. Basses. And compressors. At first sight the t c electronic SpectraComp may be misleading, because it has only one knob and still is so powerful. But if you are ready to step on a thin ice, please follow me and try a Hypergravity. You can do the same as with Spectra, but have also three extra pots to adjust the parameters. And yes, the Spectra's adjustments including presets are published. They offer good templates that you can tweak to your own preferences. Love it - but it takes quite some time to adjust and master the details. You must have the Toneprint app.

Dear @Stuart Watson, any chance to share any pictures of these amps?

No. Check this video at around 1.50 - 3.30. There you see how to restring and how to reach the reasonable breaking angle at the nut.

Open string ringing may also tell something about the stringing: is the angle at the nut big enough?

Carved frets were mentioned earlier. I remember seeing a Lane Poor Minima and a Bond g-word. The first Ashula (the white one) was a chore for me. The sound change was so big, that changing between fretted and fretless was not a option within a song. Soloing up with two strings could be a possibility, but I am a true bassist which equals no so lo.

tc electronic spectral comp is 1U, and can be found in mono and stereo. Cannot be very expensive. Triple-C.

This might fit (to remind the build year):

If it was constructed like a Gretsch Bikini, that would be very, very tempting.
