    You want the list alphabetically or in order of severity? I'm looking forward to seeing/hearing one of those in action actually. It's a bit heavy, but apart from that (and it's not [i]that [/i]heavy) it looks like the perfect pub gig amp.

    [quote name='2elliot' timestamp='1490428181' post='3265031'] Price is a bit rough though. [/quote] Similar to the GK Plex, Two Notes Le Bass, new Sansamp QStrip, etc. Of course, it'd have to be as good as those to justify it.

    I quite agree. It's one thing saying that jacks worked great for years (and they did!) but so did 'dumb' phones, dialup internet and cars without seatbelts. There are other reasons as opposed to lack of height in the case though. I have been talking to Diedrich from GSS about the connectors used on their amps. He said that despite there looking like there's enough room for the connector, there is enough room for the profile of the connector, but not the depth inside the amp for the back part.

    Just put the new cabs on a credit card? If you sell the BT2 within the month there'll be no interest to pay.

    [quote name='No. 8 Wire' timestamp='1490886766' post='3268827'] Could this be achieved with a PJ bass, but wiring the the P pickup in parallel (or having a series/parallel switch). Would that give the P pickup more of a J flavour, especially when combined with the bridge pickup?? [/quote] That's what I was thinking. I've got a S1 bass from way back when and that was the idea. It's a decent enough impression. How does a Jazz bass [i]sound[/i] anyway?

    If you just want the neck feel then it's easy enough to add a P neck to any jazz bass. If you want the full on precision but with jazz pickups then I think (and I'm happy to be corrected) it'll have to be a custom job. Plenty of people will make you one, [url="http://www.valentibasses.com/models.html"]such as the blue Valenti on the bottom of this page[/url].

    Thanks Matt! No I haven't played Ovation before. It was the thin body that attracted me but I hadn't thought about the bowl aspect. I need to go play but the choice in the usual shops is dire as you're aware. I will check out the shops you mentioned.

    [quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1490526640' post='3265661'] Just spotted an ad for the Elf at Thomann, £250. [/quote] Between the TC, GK and the new Laney there's a far bit of competition in that price point now. They all have various advantages and disadvantages compared to the others but they're all similar. It's a good time to be a bassist!

    Seeing as this thread is almost a year old may I ask for a slight hijack? [url="https://www.thomann.de/gb/ovation_ce48p_koab_elite_plus.htm"]I think I want this Ovation[/url]. What say you all? Situation is exactly the same as the OP's, me and the singer doing coffee shop/restaurant type stuff. Is something like this worth the extra over the cheaper instruments mentioned here? Main concerns are an electric-type neck and ideally a thin body but still looking traditional.

    I spent a while auditioning them to try and find a powerful, forward one for a rock band and I ended up with the Dimarzio Will Power. YMMV.

    Still for sale?
  12. Jack
    Indeed, but my thinking was that one was never going to be tall enough, and how likely am I to get another one? Well, now I've been offered one! 20/20 hindsight eh?
  13. Jack
    Nooooooooooo! Half an hour! Oh well, if you're the new owner and you ever want to move it on.....
  14. Jack
    Yeah I've actually got one sitting in my living room at the moment thanks to the generosity of a fellow basschatter. I hadn't realised yours was 8ohms, let me price up some speakers to make it a matching 4ohms and I'll get back to you.
  15. Jack
    Still for sale? Weight? I know you offered in trade for the midget but I've since heard one, and wow.
  16. Jack
    Oooops, forgot to mark this sold. Thanks lee!

    [quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1490201141' post='3263203'] .... I recently changed from a perfectly good hatchback to an estate simply to make loading my gear in and out easier. Until recently, if it wasn't for playing in bands, I would have happily made do with a bike and no car. ... I don't know any other drummers (or anyone who plays in a band) who doesn't drive and own a suitable vehicle. [/quote] Tell me about it. Out with the Fiesta ST-3 and in with the Subaru Outback.

    One midget SOLD Compact SOLD One midget ON HOLD (but feel free to join the queue if you'd like)
  19. Jack
    Did these sell? If not, colour me interested.
  20. Jack
    Yeah, if you're from oooop nurth like we are you just can't really without a car. Gigs are few and far between and without a car you'll never be able to gig outside the metro system. That might be fine for you but your band mates won't want the headache when every other bass player has a car. Now, them having the money to put petrol in it is another matter......................
  21. Jack
    All PM's replied to. :-) At least one Midget sold, the other on hold.

    One midget SOLD Compact SOLD One midget SOLD ---- Hey everybody, What do I need to say about these? If you haven't heard of Barefaced before (good or bad!) then please let me be the first to welcome you to Basschat! The midgets are a one-cab gigging solution, and the compact is that little bit fuller and less middy. All are fantastic! These are the most recent designs whilst Alex was still using Eminence, and before he went to custom drivers. They all come with Roqsolid covers and all are in pristine condition. I'm only selling because I need less gear and more tweeters as I've recently started playing EUB. I'm based just North of Newcastle and I will be able to deliver within Tyne and Wear and Durham for diesel money. Feel free to come over for a chat and to try them out though. Postage is definitely possible, if you're interested I'll look at prices. I did see someone saying that could post a midget for £20, so that sounds about right. Midget = £320 each Compact = £350
  23. Jack
    Sounds like that's the best kind of tweeter. Thanks bassace.
  24. Jack
    I can't recommend the Alto stuff enough. I'm quite snobby when it comes to gear sometimes and my band just aren't. They wouldn't fork out for any of the 'brand name' stuff and I wouldn't let them scrape the barrel so we settled on Alto and you know what? It's bloody brilliant! We have two of the TS115 tops and two TS Sub 15 subs. Regardless of which brand and models you go for, my advice would be to start with two powered tops and a mixer. You can then add subs, outboard and monitors as you start gigging and work out what you really need. One thing that's often overlooked in cheap PAs is a delay unit. If you can stagger the PA a few milliseconds to match the backline the results are enormous.
  25. Jack
    Hey everyone, Simple question, but can you turn the tweeter down on the new midgets? I want a tweeter for EUB but not for BG. Thanks, Jack
