Exceeding voltage limit on mixer input when using DI
Pbassman replied to Pbassman's topic in Amps and Cabs
Update: bought the Little Mark head and tested it through a voltmeter - Presonus Studio 16 mic inputs have 3v max and happiest with mic level voltage (miniscule voltage). However, the test showed the MB peak volume quoted of 10v is with everything cranked up and the Line Out control really did lower the output to well below the mixer tolerances (to avoid distortion). However, we are going belt and braces by using the DI Line Out XLR output into the Presonus Line In input, via TS jack, which has a higher tolerance. The main issue was, even though the f-o-h sound was ok, the output to the in-ears was distorting. This solution worked well in rehearsal with my practice Behringer combo (which sends post-EQ with high peaks) - no issues at all. (Just the fan seems noisy). -
Just bought the Little Mark MB58R head and hooked it up to the MB58R Energy 102. Great sound but the fan is noisy though playing hides it, even at home practice level, and I imagine in full rehearsal or gig mode you won't notice it at all. I need get my Roland D-Bass 210 combo out again to compare. Uncertain whether to send it back.

Exceeding voltage limit on mixer input when using DI
Pbassman replied to Pbassman's topic in Amps and Cabs
Thanks all. The in-built Mark Bass DI unit seems to have a very good reputation - a proper DI box, so with a little test session we should be able to gauge the required level. This will be used for the live performances, and the Behringer has happily been used in our rehearsals, via DI, so I reckon the settings I use are nowhere near peak output. It's not my Presonus so I want to be sure. -
I am wanting to send a post-EQ signal to the mixer via DI. The mixer is a Presonus 16-channel unpowered mixer. It has a maximum input voltage of 4v according to its owner. My current combo is a Roland D-Bass 210 which sends a signal pre-EQ. I had to use my Behringer 1200X as a sub the other week, which sends the signal post-EQ, with no problems. The owner checked the input with a voltmeter and found, 'in certain circumstances', the voltage could reach 20v. I am looking to change my kit and rather fancy a Mark Bass MB58R Little Mark amp which has a selection of Pre- or Post-EQ, as well as a Line Out control which can dial back (or up) the voltage through the DI. The Little Mark has 20Vpp (maximum peak of 10v). I want to be sure that the voltage sent to the mixer can be dialled back to ensure that the 4v input limit is not exceeded when using the Post-EQ setting. Any advice, experience is appreciated. Thanks

The owner has investigated the bass and can reveal that it is a Warmoth body (10pts to BigBassBob) and has Schaller p/ups. Very pretty, play well, what's it worth???

Thanks for comments so far. It plays rather well. Additional photo added to original post

[attachment=144585:Status Graphite.JPG]Can anyone help me? This bass has a lovely Status graphite neck, but I (and Status) do not recognise the body to which it is attached. Any thoughts appreciated. [attachment=144585:Status Graphite.JPG]

I'm selling my Laney RBG500 Bass Combo. Looking for £180. 300x bass combo - it has been used as a practice amp though it was gigged before I got it. Condition is OK and it is working - apart from small signs of use the only visible damage is one of the tiny knobs at the end of a slider is missing, otherwise is complete as far as I can see. [url="http://www.laney.co.uk/manuals/Richter%20Series%20Manual%20-%201998%20-%20Issue%201.pdf"]http://www.laney.co....20Issue%201.pdf[/url] Location is close to M4 Jct 23A - Magor in SE Wales. Buyer to collect and pay in cash. It's a good amp, (Will also be selling a Fender Mark Hoppus bass in Ol;ympic White for £400 (has strap (with strap locks fitted) and Fender gig bag. This is in excellent condition - not gigged, and hardly used. Interesting bass as it has a Jazz body, Precision neck, single, reversed Precision pick-up, and single control knob (for volume). Will do both for £550 - collection only. Thanks. PS - tried to upload photos but it keeps failing.

Welcome...I was a late starter (late forties) and now playing in S.Wales cover band Turner Street Crash. Enjoy it, it is great fun. I have an '83 Ricky 4001 in Fireglow (among my 15 basses) - nice guitar but couldn't play it on gigs as it is uncomfortable and I think the tone is a biut too trebly for the Free/Bad Co songs that seem to dominate the set ('77 Precision does the trick). Once played an Indie Ricky copy which wasn't bad in feel but couldn't vouch for tone - it looked good, was light.

Thanks to all (helpful) contributors. Some really interesting points and tips. Much appreciated.

Can anyone help me? I have been listening a lot lately to Free and Andy Fraser. I am being tempted once again by the voices in my head telling me that I really want a Gibson EB-0 or EB-3 (or SG). (My 16 basses are testament to the fact I have sinned greatly in the past, but have been very well behaved for the last couple of years). I have other Gibsons ('77 Triumph, '76 G3, Les Paul Std) so I am not a stranger to Gibson basses or even short-scale basses, though they are not a preference. So can anyone tell me how well they play, is the sound as good as Andy Fraser gets it, do they age well, and is an Epiphone (long-scale) version likely to disappoint if I chicken out of going the whole hog? I have heard they are very head heavy. Thanks.
