    [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?
  5. 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?
  6. Jack
    Nooooooooooo! Half an hour! Oh well, if you're the new owner and you ever want to move it on.....

    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.

    Still for sale? Weight? I know you offered in trade for the midget but I've since heard one, and wow.
  9. 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)
  12. Jack
    Did these sell? If not, colour me interested.
  13. 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......................

    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
  16. Jack
    Sounds like that's the best kind of tweeter. Thanks bassace.
  17. 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.
  18. 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

    £281 on baxshop. If it's 500W and 4.2kg it has to be class d surely? How heavy is something like a handbox or a walkabout?
  20. Jack
    [quote name='Passinwind' timestamp='1489939067' post='3260943'] Can't really say yet, things are one level too deep into hearsay still. [/quote] Well now my finger is hovering the button on their little 6.5" bass combo. Damn you, GAS.
  21. Jack
    That Baby Sumo looks amazing, hadn't seen that before. You know your stuff Charlie, is it any good?
  22. Jack
    I hate to argue with somweone who's had first-hand experience, but I can't see why that Peavey wouldn't be a good amp. Everything else Peavey makes is, and it's specs say it's -3dB is like 5Hz. Don't worry about the 120Hz hpf, it's not really a hpf it's a crossover for PA duty.
  23. Jack
    Definitely a GK Microbass Fusion.
  24. Jack
    That's twice the power of my amp for less than I paid. I should have waited!
  25. Jack
    If you decide that you occasionally could benefit from more power then pick up a used Behringer power amp or something for under £200. You're still way under the TH500 budget! I think you'd be surprised how far 350W will go though. :-)
