Couldn't agree more, that is the avenue I will probably be going down if I buy the bass. Just like to say many thanks for all the replies and advice offered.

Someone is trying to sell me a DB that is in need of some work. Yes you are absolutely right, do I really need two DBs (I think it was more a case of want more than need). Many thanks for the advice

I know diddly squat about DB maintenance and have been given the chance to buy a nice looking blonde bass. However there are a few issues, a lot of rattle on F and F# on E string tried card under string at nut end still rattle, card under string at bridge rattle gone, removed card from nut rattle still gone. I was wondering how much (a ballpark figure) a luthier might charge to replace bridge, strings and carry out set up. I'm 74 years old not been playing DB very long, got my other DB just before first lockdown and play mostly Bluegrass and Country.

Many thanks for the replies, most helpful

Many thanks for that, the manual I have is about as much use as an ashtray on a motor bike. Your link however is the dogs dingly dangly bits and confirms what I was hoping was possible ie use monitor out jack on front panel at line level to active speakers.

I have one of the above we used to use before band disbanded. I am doing a one off gig with double bass , 3 vocals and a couple of acoustic guitars and was wondering is it possible to take the output after preamp and before power amp to be passed to active speakers ie use it as a mixer only. I hope this is clear enough but my excuse is I'm old. Cheers Gerry

I have a slight suspicion that it may be fake. I don't think he trashes the guitar he is attempting to play which makes me think the guitar that gets a kicking is a prop

Joe bought my Purple Chili rig, lovely fellow (and his wife) to deal with. Good comms, prompt payment, met at an agreed halfway point but unfortunately he got held up by M4 closure. Would happily deal with Joe again and hope the rig serves him well.

Thanks for that, most enjoyable

Just done a deal with Jo totally hassle free, a real pleasure to deal with. Top man

Many thanks to MoonBaseAlpha, that is what we were hoping ie use the R16 as a recorder and tweak (technical term) the individual tracks in garage band. Once again many thanks to MBA

Totally new to the idea of home recording so this may seem like a stupid question. We have just started a small acoustic band consisting DB, uke and two guitars. We have done some recording straight to garageband playing as a band but that only gives us one track with all instruments and vocals. We were wondering if using a Zoom R16 to record playing as a band on say 6 tracks when transferred to garageband would it appear as six separate tracks allowing guitarist to edit tracks individually. Thanks in advance of any replies

Bought a Gretsch six string acoustic guitar from Kris, great comms superbly packed top man to deal with

They have got to know and he should be the one telling them. He should also do the decent thing and volunteer to step down.

Just sold two basses to Andy I sadly due to shoulder injury can no longer play. Comms great payment prompt, top man to deal with

Slight derail, in the early 70s Golden Wonder crisps ran a competition whereby you had to pick a football team from the then Div1 and Div2 players and give the team a nickname. I entered and named players such as Billy Bremner, Norman Hunter, Ron "chopper Harris, Nobby Styles all known for their rather direct approach. I gave them the nickname "The Crispy Crunchers". Never heard anything from Golden Wonder
