    Behringer BDI21 - no issues....great value. See stock picture.[attachment=78137:BDI21.jpg] I have used this for a couple of years as the pre-amp for my DB. It performs very well, but I have now got a Fishman Pro-Plat. I have also used it as to 'warm up' an electric bass into a tranny amp- again it works extraordinarily well for the price. I have a SABDDI as well, and it is quite hard to hear the difference. To be fair, build quality is another issue when comparing those two, but the BDI21 has never been on the floor (always on top of the amp). I was going to keep it as a 'spare' DI, but I have got the Fishman, the SABBDI and all my amps have one:) The downsides? The battery compartment is a pain to open. Beyond that, probably nothing. It will be well packed! Shaker

    These are the Helicore Hybrid Bass 3/4 Scale Medium Tension Set. They were on my bass for about 2 months so are in great condition, with loads of life...the silks at both ends are tidy, but not perfect. No box, but well packed. Shaker

    I carefully took the standard chrome machine heads off my P Bass, and (again carefully) put all the screws in a jar for safe keeping, then (carefully) put them back on but I am one screw short. The mystery of the 'lost screw'! Aware of the obvious comic potential...but has anyone got 1 they can let me have? Regards Shaker

    Hi. Would you sell the Model B separately, and if so how much posted? PM me if you would prefer. Regards Shaker [quote name='eubassix' post='666098' date='Nov 26 2009, 12:00 PM']JUST the Fishman unit(s) now remaining ! I also have the Fishman Pro-EQ PLatinum (acoustic instrument version) which I could substitute for the original Bass EQ, but would have to discuss the pricing. The Pro-EQ Plat' is a much more comprehensive unit with various controls + switches and sliders, XLR-out, Tuner-send etc (and costs about £150 new). I'll add a photo here when I have one/time[/quote]

    I played electric bass for well over 20 years and then got a DB......about 5 years ago Bad stuff Although it is tuned the same it is a fundamentally different instrument, so be prepared to learn again and to be rubbish when you start. Physically it is very demanding, you will use muscles that you don't use with EB and it can be discouraging. When you start bowing it will sound [email protected] keep going. This will teach you to play in tune. Good stuff You get great gigs and the admiration of the gender of your choice. People really love the bassman! The experience transfers back to your EB playing..less about speed and more about note selection and hearing (makes you a better musician?) The sheer physicality of it is really quite joyous...you, the bass..it is very immediate. Lessons learned Take it slow...work up to 20 minutes each day, establish the plateau then move on. Get some lessons to protect your body Find the set up and the strings that suit you and your bass. This is HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!! What else I wouldn't consider the half step from EB to EUB as worthwhile. The EUB is useful ( and great fun to play) but doesn't prepare you for your final transition to DB (if that is what you want to do) enough to make it worthwhile. Jump in bravely, but carefully. My instrument is a 1960's east european plywood fronted, ebony boarded POS, which plays rather nicely but will never be a really good instrument (think of it as a Squier, if you know what I mean) but is is hugely satisfying to play and I have got awesome gigs with it (festivals, radio etc.), that I truly believe I would not have got with the EB. and finally.... A saxophonist friend of mine said to me ' you will never regret buying a Yamaha'...to paraphrase him ' you will never regret playing a DB'...except when you are walking 400m to the venue;) Take the plunge...........if you buy wisely and it doesn't work out you should cover your costs, but don't get me started on amplifying the beast.......... Hope this helps Shaker PS If you are ever in Kent and you want to try my bass out PM me

    I think we have established that it wont work. Thank you all for your input. Shaker

    Having thought about this further in light of the advice above, I think the question I am really asking is how do I wire up the 2 2x10 cabs so the amp 'sees' them as a single 4x10 cab at 8ohms. Any ideas?
