I'm off on a small tour abroad in May, and won't have my own trusty Markbass backline with me, and I'm not sure what I'll end up being presented with. So with this in mind, I bought a Markbass Superbooster to act as a DI pedal through a PA, or as a pedal through whatever backline I am offered. The Superbooster has the VLE & VPF controls and a "volume booster". I had thought about taking this with my Bass pod, to cover all eventualities. (I will be taking a passive bass on this tour by the way). However, I see a lot of people seem to use the Tech 21 Sansamp as a DI option. And having looked at them on line, they do seem to offer more control (ie volume, 3 band Eq, drive, etc). A bass player I played with recently came over from the States with her Sansamp, didn't bother with backline, even though I offered her a choice of Markbass, Trace, or Ampeg backline. Any comparisons, recommendations, thoughts? The Markbass pedal has not been used yet. Thanks for any assistance, John

Want to buy a twin channel preamp to mix my mag and piezo pups on my DB. Had one of these [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/K-K-Dual-Channel-Pro-Acoustic-Guitar-Preamp-/190506105454?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item2c5b0c7a6e#ht_604wt_932"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/K-K-Dual-Channel-Pro...6e#ht_604wt_932[/url] and it was terrific, so would like another. But if you have something that will do the job as well, then please feel free to offer it. Don't particularly want a small mixer, would prefer something I can belt clip onto my....belt, or velcro on to the bass. Many thanks, John

[quote name='BigRedX' post='1152310' date='Mar 7 2011, 10:46 AM'][url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=124482"]It's been discussed before[/url][/quote] I was exchanging messages with the original seller who had it made by a guy at the Overwater factory. I bid £200, and someone won it for £220 I think, and he lives near me! Pretty gutted I missed out.

Bob, happy to send my schaller out to you to borrow, but will need you to tell me today so I can send it next day delivery. John

[quote name='Beneath It All' post='1162171' date='Mar 14 2011, 07:07 PM']............................................No hurry to sell - should I put your name on it [/quote] I would rather wait to see how things pan out than waste your Tim. It's a bass that caught my eye, but don't really need Mike, I just want. But thanks for the offer, that is kind. I'm having something built for me, and final costs can fluctuate, hence my hesitancy to commit until I know where the moolah falls. Didn't mean to tease...

[quote name='Beneath It All' post='1157062' date='Mar 10 2011, 07:10 PM']Having just aquired 5 & 6 string Shukers, I suspect this is now redundant..Awesome bass with piano tones..No issues..Lakky neck is a joy to play..Balances very well hence does not feel as heavy as I thought it would [lighter than my 70's Jazz!]....£350 + p&p....link to original thread...........http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=112414....................[/quote] I wanted this when Jack put it up before. Got one or two expenses (bass related) to meet this month. If this is around after that, I think you could have a sale.

K&K Double Bass MAX Pickup and Preamp

Here's something unique put together for me by Alan Hatswell from parts he had over. It's made of composite material (fiberglass and wood), and is a stable as a horses bedroom. I had to finish the build off (fitting machine heads, bridge, reinforce the tail pin, etc) but I paid my local tech to do it as I'm not confident enough. Anyway, it's full scale (41.5"), but has a shorter neck (25", so can get about a b on the G string) and narrower neck than a 3/4, so that the neck can be detached, along with the bridge, strings and tail piece, and packed inside the chambered body. The f hole is spray painted by the way. However, I can't quite do the narrow fingerboard thing, so am offering it up here. It's just looking at me everyday and I feel quite guilty not playing it. The neck size would suit someone new to DB, as it's narrow neck width is not so much of a shock as a 3/4. I have a P bass pickup that comes with it that fits on the end of the neck. It SOLD for £300 posted, or trade for something interesting, like a 6 string bass, mac with garage band, 3/4 double bass hard case, anything else you might want to part with, try me. Obviously some things will need a cash balance (my way I'm afraid). It will be packed in the same box that Alan sent to me. Am very happy to meet up/deliver to say Basingstoke/Bristol/Bournemouth/(B)exeter Happy to try and post some sound clips, but don't know how here, but can do over private email.

As title. Happy to arrange another, same venue. But a bit more notice means I can get some more "trade" support. Probably be June/July. However, if someone else wants to sort a gathering out within 1 hours drive from me, I'll be there.

[quote name='Beedster' post='1156943' date='Mar 10 2011, 05:28 PM']I don't think it's about qualification or commenting on technique. When I ask people to listen to my stuff it's simply "What do you like about it and what would you change?".[/quote] Personally, I'd find it interesting to hear people's reviews of their own playing, then perhaps ask for feedback. I'm sure it would be all very British and self deprecating, or very British and delusional.

[quote name='fatback' post='1155512' date='Mar 9 2011, 04:10 PM']I've read lots of complaints about the Schallers rattling and coming unstuck. I'd prefer that not to happen mid gig.[/quote] I had that issue, but it's an easy fix, nail varnish, or a tiny bit of blue tack, no more problems at all. John
