Any one tried GK Neo's ?  maybe a 4x12 would work

Thanks Jim ,  it seems they are really good bang for buck and I found a company selling new for under £80 including postage - I may have to go shopping

Can’t remember, but dont they all have a blend knob?

I don't own one yet 

I was wondering if the line selector could be used as a 50/50 mix with an effect ?  

Hi, 

Does anyone know if the Compressors on the MS-60B have a wet/dry blend ?

thanks

Aha! Ok so we are both Markbass users. You might be interested in something I posted on another thread earlier this month which ended up concluding that an EQ pedal could be just the ticket.

Btw - my BC buddies are advising me (quite rightly) to kick off with the Zoom MS-60B before splashing out on something like the more expensive "one function" MXR M108S pedal. 

I'm thinking that a combination of the Para EQ and the GEQ which can be layered into one effects patch (and maybe with an added M-Comp compressor) on the Zoom could work well.

Thanks Al, its my 1st markbass and is great for home use and should be ok for a Acoustic set used as a monitor, the MS-60B looks like a good option

Lol!

One thing you've not shared is what amp and bass you're using and what the EQ is like on them?

Sure , I’ve got a Jeff Berlin Rithimic 5 and a markbasd 802 or a MB800

an extra EQ pedal would give me use of the 3 full pan modes of the bass without any volume changes 

Cool, thanks 

I am in the denial stage if GAS at the moment, it can only go one of two ways now 

Stop spending my money Al ! 

Found this from Dood

I have stayed away from digital effects following a bad experience with a line 6 bass floor pod but this Zoom ms-60b looks nice , I wonder if it has a variable Q

Just had a look at the available patches on the ms-60b and it has a 2 band parametric EQ,   

Does anyone use one of these ?

I guess the (s) means "silent"

Looks like I will have to try a few pedals to find a quiet one

Thanks Al Krow, I will check out the site,

I forgot got to mention that I would change pickup blend mid set and with a EQ I could even out the volume and add in some mids when using both pickups 

Hi , I am looking at adding a EQ pedal to my set up, the idea is to use it when using the neck and bridge pickups together to add in some lost volume and a little mid,

this way I can have 3 distinct sounds - neck, bridge and both without losing my place in the mix,

I have spotted the EWS pedals and wondered if anyone else had any low noise recommendations?

 Thanks

I thought of that but there was much frowning in my house when I suggested I might need another bass. So 4 strings it will have to be. For now. 

I know how you feel , I have just lost my rehearsal space and my gear has been kicked out into the basement.

A 5 String Bass could be employed 

I put this gadget in the basement and this reading is from 20:00 tonight,  I don’t have any heating down there yet.

Can't you keep it at home.

Hi , sorry I forgot to mention that we both work at home.

Surely the bigger question here is Who kicked it out?

My Wife , she had a fit and wants her office space back, I don't own that much stuff either.

Its unfair and I feel cheated

Unfortunately my Bass Gear has been kicked out of my office and now the only place I have to store the gear is  in my basement,

The basement is in very good condition and no signs of damp,

The question is what is the maximum humidity and minimum temperature that electrical equipment ( amps / pedals ) can be stored at ?

Thanks 

I saw a Markbass 6x10 floating about somewhere ( maybe fleabay or bumtree  )

If it's a good 5 string bass, flats will sound fine.

I assume La Bella's will be good on a 5er but I've not used any. I have a set of TI flats on my Mike Lull PJ5 and the bass sounds just right.

Hi, how do you find the tension of the TI's ?

Hi All,

I was wondering how the La Bella Low tensions  sound on a 5 string ,

I have Labella FL's on my P and they feel tight and would like a little less tension, I have tried Thomastiks and they sounded magic but were a bit too loose for me,

Thanks
