Thanks for the responses. I wanted to avoid getting a 4x10 as I would struggle to get it in the car (no roadie!) and hoped that there was some brilliantly simple solution. Sounds like there isn't. In fairness, I only want it for the occasional gig where I need the extra oomph. Maybe I should think again. Shaker

Help. I have a MAG300 amp, with 2x 8ohm speaker outputs which I use with an Ashdown MAG 1x15(8ohm) cab and an Ashdown MAG 2x10(8ohm) cab. What I want to be able to do is add an extra Ashdown 2x10 cab, to effectively give me the option of 2x 2x10's as well as the 1x15 at the same time, but this obviously wont work without some thought. (I don't want to have a 4x10 cab as it would be too heavy for me to move, let alone put in the car) Can anyone tell me how I would wire the speakers up, I can use a soldering iron, a drill and a screwdriver(!) and not averse to a bit of DIY. I would want to be able to use one of the 2x10s with the 1x15 as well..so this requires some thought. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated Shaker

I have both and do different gigs with each. The SABDDI sits on my pedalboard and warms up my tone on Electric Bass. The BDI21 is used as an 'always on' impendence matching/pre-amp/tone warming for my Double Bass. On this point, I tried a number of DB pre-amps, including the Fishman, but liked the 'warming' the BDI21 gives. Tonally, they can do broadly the same things, although the settings are not the same to acheive it on both, if that makes sense. I have never had any problems with either, the DI from both is strong, although the BDI21 eats batteries faster and 'whines as the battery dies. Not a problem if you carry spares or plan ahead. Construction-wise...one is made of plastic and the other is made of metal. My BDI21 goes nowhere near the floor, so this isn't a problem for me, but I would worry about it holding together under much foot stomping. The Price/Quality issue is the main thing. The Behringer offers fantastic VFM, it is made from cheaper materials, AND it sounds fine. The SABDDI is more expensive by a factor of over 6:1, it is the industry standard, it is better built, AND it sounds fine. You pays your money, you takes your choice. Shaker

Now sold. Thanks for the interest Shaker -
Neepheid is right, they are nice basses. My hands are used to a double bass and a 6 string bass, so a short scale bass just feels too small for me. For clarity, the condition is good for a well used 6 year old Squier bass selling for £50. It has some scratches and has been well used, but is not trashed. On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being firewood and 10 being immaculate, I would put it at about a 7-8. Sorry, if it seems that I am messing around but I have also looked at the gig bag. It is in much better condition than I recalled so I don't want to include that in the asking price. I will take £10 for it, or if you don't want it, the postage will probably be less. Shaker

I bought this in 2003 for my then 10 year old son to start learning on. He has now grown both physically and as a bass player, so has now taken my old P Bass. This leave this as surplus to requirements. I had toyed with turning it into a 'piccolo bass' or upgrading it, but I have huge hands and too many basses already. As you can see it is a stock bass. Shortscale (30.5"), single pick up, two saddle bridge. The bass is in good used condition, having been played but not abused. The pickup is powerful, the tone control surprisingly musical and everything works as it should. It is strung with Elites that have plenty of life left in them and it has a low action, albeit a little 'fretty' up the dusty end. So, in summary, a good starter bass for a small learner, a good practice/beater bass for someone wanting light and portable, or maybe a base/bass? for a project. I will include a 'tired' Rockbag soft case and will pack well. Looking for £50 plus P&P at cost. Can send more pics. Shaker

Have to agree with Clarky's analysis. I tried them a while ago, the G and D felt good, but the A& E were absolutely useless. Put them on and took them off inside 48 hours. Fortunately they are cheap. If you want softer strings, I have had good experiences with D'Addario Pizz Light gauge. On my bass they really opened up the tone. Hope this helps Shaker

Currently playing MM Stingray, mongrel P Bass, Status 5 string fretless, Jack Casady and old Romanian DB. Currently playing through Ashdown MAG rig, TE Rig or GK150 depending on the gig. Between the basses and the amps sits my pedal board with a Punch Factory, a SABDDI, a Yamaha NE1 and a Zoom B1. Shaker

Silvertone/Zenta Telecaster
Shaker replied to 4Everdelayed's topic in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale
Looks like an early 70's Zenta, I had the blond one when I was much younger. As I recall the pickups weren't bad and the neck was quite playable. Shaker -
I saw this thread and hooked up with Mo to sort out my P Bass. What a gent! He turned it round in a day and the cost was more than fair. I also demo'd his basses. The finish and the feel are superb and they are different in a good way. Shaker

Here is my perspective on the JC. I wanted a ‘non-Fender’ style bass as a counterpoint in looks and tone to my other stuff, and looked at a Guild B301, an Ovation Magnum and a Gibson Ripper. I ended up choosing the Jack Casady. This may be the sexiest bass ever…it just looks so cool. It plays great as well after I set it up properly. There is something about the gold top, half 335/half Les Paul body shape and the ‘varitone’ that I find really appealing. Tonally, it is a cross between a ‘pumped up’ Precision and a Rickenbacker…full, but clanky(in a good way!), and remarkably flexible. Enjoy! Shaker
