  1. I’d be having all that out of there and starting again 😄 try this
  2. Hmm I still don’t know why your comparing this to a Noble you’d be better comparing to an ampeg B15, SVT IIP, or an ashdown ‘lil bastard’, The Noble is a tube DI, it’s not an amp designed to get gritty, overdriven fuzzy or synthy(sic) The Noble is a one trick pony because it’s meant to be just that. It’s warms the tone with the tubes and allows clean boost of the bass and treble without distorting. The fact you had to buy a separate DI puts the TBT in a different class of box and indeed it was designed for and is a guitar class A 2.5 watt power amp/preamp in stomp box format, although it has found other niches in studios. Im sure it’s a great piece of kit and I’d sure like to try one. However take the Noble for its purpose of a tube DI and compare the BTB In the same parameters and then the Noble wins. TLDR: TBT is a 2.5watt guitar amp/preamp, the Noble is a clean Tube DI, no comparison.
  3. Nice, I’ve been after one for a long time, I’ll keep my eye on the site
  4. You still need to be aware of the input sensitivity with mains/rack mount preamps. The SWR interstellar overdrive is notorious for not being able to power a lot of power amps at .775vrms
  5. Just from his language I’d look elsewhere particularly if he asks you for PayPal friends and family or bank transfer before you go over. I don’t know about the upgrade costs I’ll be honest, but would you know by looking at it that they’d been done? anyone who says: “I'm not interested in making a lot of cash for this, I just want it to go to someone who will appreciate it. It's worth about 450-500” and wants half that, I’d stay away from
  6. https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/220410383803002--music-man-bass-hard-case https://www.dv247.com/en_GB/GBP/Music-Man-Case-for-Musicman-Stingray-4-5-/art-BAS0002336-000 There’s two ends of the scale
  7. I have a bit of a collection of preamps and pedal preamps and was having the same problem with some of them being below the 1.15vrms. I solved this by getting myself a crown xls 2502 which has Selectable input sensitivity; 1.4Vrms and 0.775Vrms options I think all the other models in the XLS line have this option. I got mine off the flea bay virtually unused for a few hundred pounds. I also use a powersoft LD 2004 which I plug my Noble into via the DI this has a sensitivity of 0.87vrms
  8. Not usually a big jazz fan but I came across an album the other day and I’m really enjoying it. Don’t know if this has been posted but I’m sure it’s worth another listen if it has.
  9. It’s @walshy he has some fine basses and excels with the precisions
  10. Lovely, but at that price around £400 more than it was new, it must have matured under his bed like a fine wine 😂🤣
  11. Just added another Bernard Odum bass line to the repertoire, the p bass loves a bit of sponge. what a funky day.
  12. Quick phone call and send it back would be my advice, either for a set up or a refund, take your custom elsewhere.
  13. Have you considered a commission sale at bass Bros or bass direct they reach a bigger audience and you’ll probably get more
  14. That’s where it went, I nearly purchased that myself 😄
  15. 1. Must have Long hair 2. Can twirl his sticks 3. Let’s me stand on his bass drum mid song
  16. Any chance we can have a day on here with no Drama, politics, trolling or arguing? how about we just… Bass 😄
  17. I see they had “liz truss’ first month in office” too
  18. Picked up my first short scale Here she is with my old smoothie, a US of A Musicman Stingray with roasted maple neck. It’s got the factory round wounds on it atm (EB slinky’s) which I love but I’ve got some labella short scale 42-100LTF I got sent by mistake awhile ago so I’m going to try them and see how she thumps. Absolutely love the tones from the passive circuitry, but still capable of that classic stingray growl if you dial it in. At 30” it feels tiny, but so easy to play. well chuffed.
  19. It’s when you hear your riffs you came up with while demo’ing you need to start cursing 🤣😂
