The Countryman Type 85 is (as ever) the answer. Great DI in any situation and it handles something like 3000W in 'speaker' mode, so it'll be safe with any sane bass amp.

Mine too, thanks Alex!

I sold Ian my Barefaced Compact and we were both so happy with the deal that he came back to trade his Dr Bass for my Midget. All in all an excellent guy and a top Basschatter. As an example, when I got a last minute gig and I didn't have a cab he offered to lend me his.

I would like to commit, be good fun.

What kind of price do you think we'd be looking at for a flat pack? I'm sure the answer is a firm 'it depends' but, like, roughly?

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1505747774' post='3373974']A 33L per driver cab is much too small for the 2510. The ideal volume is 60L per driver, and that's not inclusive of the port. [/quote] But if we took a driver out, filled in the gap and then ported it, we'd have a 66l, ported 1x10" cab?

You can get elements of coupling by place the amp against a wall or in a corner. So, on a stand off the floor but in a corner may have more than enough coupling for your application. I solved the problem using [url="https://www.thomann.de/gb/markbass_mark_stand.htm"]a fold up wedge[/url]. The cab is on the floor but pointed at my ears. I didn't want to lose the coupling effect (or have to carry!) a proper amp stand.

I sold Chris one of my GK amps, great guy and swift payment. Buy with confidence.

I sold Ian my Joyo overdrive pedal, nice guy and swift payment. Recommended!

[/quote] Completely agree, I just sold mine as I don't have any passive cabs any more but mine gave me years of trouble-free, great-sounding, service. I'd buy another straight away if I ever had any 'real' cabs again.

All of those inputs should be electronically identical, you can use it any way around. What is it you're trying to do?

[quote name='Kirky' timestamp='1505390035' post='3371529'] I had 2 Gen 2 Compacts and decided I wanted a single 4 ohm cab. Just fancied a change so I went for the TKS S212 which is very nice. However I am finding it a but heavy (it isn't really, but I'm getting old) so am considering a move back to Barefaced. Quite tempted with the FR800 as my amp is heavy too. [/quote] [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1505390810' post='3371551'] I'm sure the FR800 is a stellar cab but there are many fantastic light weight amps around theses days. [/quote] They're not the lightest things in the world (though still bloody light) at 15kg but they are quite deep front to back which makes them harder to carry than you'd expect.

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1505222106' post='3370327'] Why are you using a wireless? Si [/quote] [quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1505225688' post='3370361'] If you can still play in time when you cross a 40ft stage then you don't need to worry about latency at all. [/quote] [quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1505228128' post='3370383'] The Smooth Hound is a great piece of kit for live work, which I can highly recommend (and 8ms latency is frankly neither here nor there for that - we have much bigger issues if our drummer decides to occasionally go off at express train speeds on a track!) But I'm with Si on this, not sure why you'd use a wireless for recording rather than a decent old fashioned cable (which has next to no latency)? [/quote] Indeed, I'm talking about playing live. Thanks for all the responses guys!

Thanks guys, I think I might swap to a wireless with a shorter delay anyway just to make sure...

Bad idea, the sound will be 90 degrees out of phase. *Not a serious post.

See, on the other hand, I always used the 50Hz filter on my QSC. Fantastic amps either way.

Bumping this to see if anyone has any more thoughts. I found it as I'm concerned about my 8ms Smoothhound working with a planned purchase of a "Less than 7ms" GK Plex....

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1504953578' post='3368509'] Me neither until a recent conversation with another BC-er! [/quote] What was your conversation? Just curious.... There's a standard 'pro' level of gear such as Ashdown, GK, etc and once you get above that into Barefaced and other boutique stuff, I don't really think that there is a 'better'. Different, sure. But could you look at something like one of Mike Arnopol's designs and say that was any better or worse than something that Greenboy did?

I sold mine to go ampless. And then ended up with a pair of FR800s for, you know, ampness.

Always at least the kick. Not for volume as such, just for feel. Some venues get the snare, a very few awkward or massive rooms get the lot.

[quote name='petetexas' timestamp='1504648767' post='3366392'] Hi jack , What is the magnet fix suggested by Leo Fender ? [/quote] Show the picture again Howard.... @BassDoc.... Basically, you put science classroom style cylinder magnets on the G pole pieces to make them higher. Edit, ok, so you can't tag members in this forum!

[quote name='drTStingray' timestamp='1504478982' post='3365187'] Do you mean recorded or when heard whilst stood a couple of feet in front of your amp? If they are 3 band instruments have you tried altering the mid range? That usually has a major impact (you can hear the change by playing G string harmonics also). If 2 band boost the mid range on your amp or drop the tone controls back a bit to introduce more mid range. [/quote] Both recorded and live. And headphones, old school rigs, straight into a frfr cab, everywhere. It's not an eq issue at all, otherwise it would affect equivalent notes played on the other 3 strings. It's simple, the whole string sounds thinner and weaker. Now, I'm but complaining as such. I loved my first Ray so much I bought another, but only because I successfully mitigated (although not cured) the issue via the pole piece trick. Next time I might try the magnet fix as suggested by Leo Fender himself.
