    Cool, thanks. What is the difference between the two? They both seem to be stainless steel, but the fat beams appear to be wound under pressure?

    I need new strings on my trusty old Peavey T40. I want something with strong fundamentals and a bright edge to help me with the funkier side of life Please recommend me something, i'm happy to try whatever

    I'm a fan of Phil Jones Bass stuff, and i've used some of their amps and combos with the piezo pickup plugged in straight to the high impedance input. I'm yet to try with my latest entry, the D400, but the spec sheet quotes 4 MOhm/22pF. That should be high enough for most pieces of kit, surely!

    I really enjoy trying to rearrange a song in a different genre, and trying to convince my band to play it. Sometimes it works, and it ends up in our live set. In fact, I prefer that to trying to write a new song from scratch!

    I've actually part-ex it for a very good price at a well known bass specialist shop.

    When i've had the need for a modification to one of these things (I own one of the models on the far right in the picture), i've taken it to a good luthier/guitar repair man and got the job done by them. I think the simplest thing would be to have such a person make you a new brace that fits into the holes already present in the instrument.

    Any takers at £650 then?

    *SOLD* Actually, part exchanged for a new rig at a good price Making space and cash for a new purchase (another PJB rig). Selling my trusty rig consisting of a PJB Suitcase combo amp, and its companion 4B cab. http://pjbworld.com/product_suitcase_top.html Incredible hi-fi sound, extremely musical eq and limiter, two separate input channels with individual eq and gain settings. I've used it a lot when doubling with electric and double bass. Rated at 200W alone, or 300W with with extension cab it is not the loudest combo on the market, but it is plenty loud and it will give you the best tone you've heard from your bass at that volume! This example is in good but not pristine conditions. It bears a few small scars from years of gigging, pictured below. The scratches and dings on the tolex are superficial and do not affect its structure or, god forbid, its tone. More pictures available on request, and you're welcome to come and try it at my place in Newhaven, Edinburgh. £650 for the pair, happy-ish to split, will ship at cost.

    @Dad3353 Sound advice. I neglected my profile since the forum switched to the new format, and somehow imagined that all the stuff in my profile migrated to the new forum...

    I'm not sure how to change the headline price, but i've taken it down to £350, in case anyone cares.

    Sold! I'm thinking of parting with my trusty PJB Briefcase. I have gigged with it quite a lot on double bass and bass guitar, and used it extensively as practice amp. I am selling it mainly because I have bought a PJB Suitcase with extension cab, and I can't (shouldn't) keep both. This is the 100W version in black. It is in very good conditions, with only one small scratch visible on the left side (see third picture below). It comes with a light cover. I am happy to ship at cost. The amp is located in edinburgh, you're welcome to come and try it. I might be interested in trading this for a small quality bass amp head as well as cold hard cash. £400 350.

    After a few months of frantically switching jacks and tweaking gain and volumes, i've built a small pedalboard for this purpose: Double bass --> Headway EDB2--> A channel of ABY switch --> Boss tuner --> amp Bass guitar --------------------------------> B channel of ABY switch--> Boss tuner --> amp I tweak the volume and gain of the DB preamp to match the bass guitar during sound check, and then it's just a matter of putting the DB somewhere safe onstage when I swap them around

    When I used to play in a reggae/dub band i used my Peavey T40 with both pickups at full humbucker mode, and played fairly close to the end of the fretboard. I also kept the same dean markley strings on for ever, and they sounded very un-zingy
  15. razze06
    I suppose i'll have to see if it works for me, so I ordered one

    I'm concerned about the footprint of the bass once it's on the bass bar. I think it might occupy rather a lot of floor space, which is at a huge premium in many of the gigs I do. I would have thought that a stand that keeps the bass upright (see what I did there) would have a smaller stage footprint. Any comments?
  17. razze06
    The link does work, thanks. I'd like to hear if anybody has the same needs I have (cramped stage, switching between DB and bass guitar and needing to put the DB down somewhere safe) and has found something that suits. The Dewa McNutt looks interesting, could save time when switching and looks stable. Larger footprint that i'd like though, but less than laying the DB on its side...

    I need some recommendation on a new bass stand to be used on small stages and cramped corners of pub where I ply most of my "trade". I almost always double with DB and bass guitar, so I found that putting the bass down on its side is too dangerous (people moving about the stage often accidentally kick it). Using my old stand is impractical because it is not very stable and the wrong size. In an ideal world, a 2-in-1 DB and bass guitar stand would exist and be available for purchase What do people use and recommend?

    yep, not given it away yet. PM me if you want it

    I have Zyex on atm, but I used to have innovation golden slaps on before, so nothing similar to compare with in terms of brightness. I really like them anyway.

    Personally i'd go for the stagg, mainly because i've had one and know it. There are some interesting options in the "EUB for sale" section here on basschat for the same kind of money as a new Stagg. Perhaps you could have a look (i'm not selling anything btw)
  22. razze06
    Just bought some DB string, excellent and easy transaction. Thanks.

    McIntyre of Edinburgh, nice (Leith actually)

    As @petebassist says, very few EUBs can do an acoustic double bass sound convincingly. If you are looking for DB sound in a smaller package, the options are limited. Personally, I am not overly bothered by the details of the sound as long as the overall feel of the instrument is close to that of a DB, and the sound is not too much like an electric bass (i've got plenty of those). Picking an EUB with a DB-shaped fingerboard and with a good rest/arm/bout (what do you call the bit that sticks out from the side and rests against your hip/belly when playing?), and putting a good set of old-school sounding strings on it does marvels in improving the overall feel and sound. I am currently going through that process with the aria EUB i recently got, and i'm happy with that for now.

    When it used to be a brick and mortar shop (mid 1990's) it had the most astonishing array of never-seen-before gear, and all the makes and models you would dream about as a pre-internet impressionable young man. I have lusted over many a bass and guitar over there, and the guitarist in my band at that time managed to get together enough money to buy a Gibson Corvus/Futura. I think he paid the equivalent of £500 at the time, circa 1993.
