Just an update, in case there's anyone out there who finds themselves in the same position, I went for the Roland Cube RX. That plus a Kala U-bass is perfect for playing along side guitar, violin, whistle, mando and bohdran. Incredibly portable setup too!

In great condition, with a few modifications. I removed the original feet and re-drilled the frame to add larger feet, this gave me enough clearance to put a Power Plant Jr. underneath. It's worked a treat, but I'm using one pedal to cover all my needs now so it's no longer needed. Comes with bag and with velcro already applied. The Power Plant is included and comes with all the extra leads that came with it. It was bought from Thomann.de so has a euro plug. I've been using a travel adapter, but you could easily throw on a new plug (one of those jobs I never got round to). Check the photos in case I haven't explained myself properly! Item is in North Wales, but I'm happy to post at buyers expense. Many thanks!

BUMP for new photo!

Bought this on the back of the Ovni Labs review ([url="http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/duncan.shtml"]http://www.ovnilab.c...ws/duncan.shtml[/url]). I was very happy with it, it's served me well but I now have a one pedal solution so it's no longer needed. In good cosmetic condition and perfect working order. Original box included. Item is in North Wales but I'm happy to post at buyers expense. Many thanks! [attachment=185249:doubleback.jpg]

Great tuner. No longer needed as I have a one pedal solution now. Good condition, couple of scuffs but nothing major - perfect working order. Item is in North Wales but will post at buyers expenses. Many thanks!

***NOW SOLD*** Had these knocking about for a while, maybe they could be of use to someone as part of a new build? Pickup £20 Bridge £8 Located in North Wales, but I can post at buyers expenses (not likely to be much 2nd class). Thanks!

Originally posted this in the wrong forum, apologies! [url="http://www.bossus.com/products/me-20b/"]http://www.bossus.com/products/me-20b/[/url] Willing to post, could also meet within reason. I'm in North Wales and regularly travel along the coast and the opposite direction into Cheshire. In excellent condition though it has no box or adapter (takes a standard Boss 9v or batteries). EDIT: Dropped price a little to bring it in line with what others seems to be selling for. I'm also interested in trades. I'm after a good bass or acoustic D.I., something like a Fishman and preferably with a parametric EQ. Cheers!

That Behringer looks interesting. If I had the money I'd certainly go for the Markbass or similar, but I just can't justify the amount for something that's going to gather dust 11 months of the year. The Behringer is 150w verses the 10w-20w bass combos that are a similar price. Is 20w going to hold it's own against acoustic instruments? My backline is a 750w Gallien-Krueger rig so I've got no way of referencing.

Hey guys, I'm not in a position to try a whole bunch of amps so I'm asked for some help in narrowing down my selection. I'll give you a little background first so you can understand what it is in after. I play in an Irish folk band, the line up is 2x vocals, guitar (electro acoustic), fiddle, mandolin, whistle and bodhran. It's not typical trad stuff, we like to thrash things out and have a bit of a party. Most gigs we run our own PA and I have a decent backline which I run my Fender P through, but last year we did a tour for the armed forces playing everywhere from Greenland to the Bahamas, we had an awesome sound guy and a decent setup at the bases so we were more than happy. I decided to take my electro acoustic as we played some impromptu acoustic sets on our off days in Miami and in the mess halls, unfortunately it didn't hold up,it was fine through the PA but it could compete during the acoustic sets. Basically, I'm after an amp to take that will give me just little bit more volume, but it must be portable. It's gonna have to go in my suitcase. I've been looking at the Roland Cubes and the Vox Pathfinders. I believe Warwick have a single 8inch combo too. I've also considered those cheap Harley Benton amps that Thomann sell. I don't need a huge volume boost and it's only going to get used for two weeks out of the year so I don't want to break the bank. Does anyone have any experience with any of those models? Am I being too optimistic, will I need to spend more? It's worth mentioning that when we play acoustic none of the other instruments or voices are amped. Thanks.

No worries, I understand what you mean about contributing more with a melodic instrument but we don't all have defined roles within the band. The drum, guitar and bass all switch between lead and support over the course of the set so there's a nice bit if variation. I'm going to plod on with Precision for now, but it's more than likely going to be the Kala U-bass. I'd love to try the Epiphone Zenith too but the music shops in North Wales aren't likely to have one in stock.
-
Ok, thanks for the advice. In the band we have bass, bodhran, guitar, fiddle and then a fella who alternates between whistle, harmonica and mandolin. So I'm not likely to find an acoustic bass that can compete with that lot? It's also worth noting that we don't do many slow airs. It's mostly played at pace and the guitar playing is furious, start fast and end faster is our moto.
-
Many thanks for the replies. I'm torn between the U-bass or a Crafter BA400 fretless. I had the opportunity to play a Kala (we played at a folk festival in Uttoxeter and there was a Kala stand there) but I doubt I'd get a chance to try the Crafter before I buy. I'm swaying towards the Crafter as the Kala is pretty useless with out an amp. There's been a fair few occasions when we've been at festivals or abroad where we've popped into a local pub after the gig and played a session for some food/booze.
-
Any opinions on fretless electro acoustics? I've seen a nice Crafter one. An acoustic would also keep with the aesthetic of the band.
-
I've owned an EUB in the past and I really struggled. I'm sure with time I'd get better but we've got a busy spring and summer coming up so I don't have the time to invest. That's why the three I mentioned earlier appealed to me because it won't be a huge jump from standard electric bass.

I'm looking for a new bass for use in a Irish music band. I know bass isn't typically associated with traditional Irish music, but it works really well and it keeps me busy so I'm not complaining. I typically use a Fender P, I keep it low and thumpy and it does a decent job. But I think I make enough money from the band to warrant purchasing a dedicated instrument for the band (and also because I'll use any excuse to spend money on a bass). I want to go fretless and get something approaching the sound of an upright, it also has to be more "traditional" in appearance. So far I'm looking at various electro acoustics, the Kala U-bass and also the Epiphone Zenith. Any thoughts or suggestions for me? Also, I should mention that I'm not interested in graduating to full upright just yet. No room!
-
Cheers for the replies. The W&C Phat Phuk looks like it could be the pedal for me.
-
Thanks krysh. I should of mentioned, I've been avoiding genuine valve pedals because of the power requirements, plus they're usually quite large. I have a small pedal setup and was hoping to keep it that way. I'd heard that the SFT does the job at lower levels of gain? Maybe I'm getting it confused with another pedal!
-
I used to use the Sansamp Bass DI but I never got on with the sounds I got from it. Maybe it had something to so with the scooped mids. I sold it when I received a good offer for it and bought a Behringer BDI21 as a temporary solution, I actually found this more usable and it served me well for a while. I've been through two now (due to the crappy plastic housing and controls) so I'm in the market for a classier and more permanent solution. I'm looking for something to add a valve type warmth with a hint of grit to my sound, it'll more than likely be placed at the end of my chain and be an 'always on' type of pedal. Ideally, it has to have a small footprint and run off 9V - I play a passive bass so hopefully that won't be an issue. Top of my list are the Catalinbread SFT, [sfx] Mini Red Dragon and the Xotic BB Preamp. Are there any other pedals I should consider? It's worth mentioning that there are no decent music stores where I live. Most carry the standard Boss, Line6, Digitech lines, so I'm relying on Internet sound clips and the good word of you fine people!

Jay bought my Ibanez ATK from me. Quick to reply to messages, popped along to demo the bass, great guy to deal with (even though I was gutted to sell my ATK)!

Gallien-Krueger 1001RB-II & NEO212 Combo

BUMP! -
I'm looking to move away from combos, wanting a separate cab and head. I've owned this for around 2 years, there are marks and scratches on the exterior but they obviously have zero impact on functionality of the amp. Never felt the need to add an extension cab because this thing is seriously loud. It had a crackly pot so I took it to a local professional who services and reconditions amps and P.A. equipment. He sorted the problem as well as giving it a full service, this was within the last six months, so it's in full working order and sounds amazing. I'm not 100% sure, but I thing these may be discontinued now. Here's the only spec I can find on it: Neo 1001/212 Bass Combo Specifications: Power <1% THD: 460 Watts (700 Watts With Extension Cabinet) Cooling: Continuously Variable Speed Fan. Input Section: Ultra Low Noise S/N>90dB, Clip Led, -14dB Pad, Volume, Mute Switch And Mute Led Voicing Filter: 5/4 String Voicing, Adjustable Contour And Presence Equalizer: Four Band Active Output: Boost, Tweeter Level With Hi-Cut Switch And Woofer Level With Hi-Cut Switch Direct Out: XLR, Neutrick Speakon X2, Send Out Impendance: 220 Ohm, Di Out: 500 Ohms Patching: Send, Return And Tuner Out Speaker Output: Two 1/4" And Two Horn Bi-Amp Compatible Speakon Connectors Woofer: 2xGK Paragon 10b200-16 Cast Frame 12", 300w 16 Ohm High Presence Voice Coil Tweeter: Gk-Paragon 5h50-8 Construction: 11-Ply Poplar, Tolex, 16 Gauge Steel Grill, Lock 'N Roll Transport System, Custom Tooled Interlocking Corners, Front Ported Weight: 84 Lbs. Dimensions: 21"W X 30 "H X 16"D It's essentially a 1001RB-II in the same enclosure as a NEO212 but with a nifty suitcase handle. This is my main gigging amp. I'd ideally like to trade but I will accept a cash offer if there a suitable replacement available to buy on here! Here's what I'm interested in: Gallien-Krueger MB500, 700, 800 and 1001RB heads, EBS Multicomp, Tech 21 VT Bass, Sansamp Bass D.I., assorted rack compressors, any 2x10, 1x12, 2x12 or 4x10 cabs. If you any other heads or cabs of a similar value then I'll consider them too!
