And under their FAQ section: [i][b]Can the voltage be changed if I move to another country? [/b] Unfortunately, due to homologation issues, the voltage may not be changed without having the amp reapproved for electrical safety. If you're just traveling internationally with your amp, we recommend using power transformers, which are generally available from backline companies and can also be purchased inexpensively.[/i]

Well, their website says this, for what it's worth: [i]Markbass amps/combos are manufactured to be sold and used in the country of purchase, and they are factory preset to that country’s voltage. Due to homologation issues, the voltage may not be changed.[/i]

I'd recommend [url="http://www.themodernfix.co.uk/"]The Modern Fix[/url]. I used to be in a band with the drummer and they are seriously good.

[quote name='philw' post='662153' date='Nov 22 2009, 09:43 PM']Gareth's bass was a Veillette Minotaur. Not originally intended as a piccolo, but can be strung as such.[/quote] The one I had was a custom order for a guy in the States who wanted a nylon super short (26") scale bass. He had it strung ADGC but I changed it to regular EADG tuning, although BEAD worked equally well. Designed for nylon strings. It's a nice instrument and in very good condition, but I moved it on quite quickly as I realised it just wasn't for me.

I'll be there early next week.

I also moved from an EA iAmp to a Markbass LMK and have no regrets.

In the short time I've had my EUB I have discovered that, when playing upright, the open string is very definitely your friend!

Ken Smith makes some very good [url="http://www.kensmithbasses.com/accessories/smithpolish.html"]polishes[/url].

I have a Veillette Archtop bass arriving very soon. Unlined fretless 5 string. Can't wait!

Plain board, side dots.

I set up like this: Big rig - Markbass LMK into Euphonic Audio NL210 on top of Euphonic Audio CXL112 Mid rig - LMK into NL210 Small rig - LMK into CXL 112 Straight to PA - Basses into Bassbone into PA

Ah yes, AI heads are great; small and full of clean power.

I was going to get a 2nd gen Micro, but the skinny on Talkbass is that it's not really [i]that[/i] loud, so I passed... IIRC the B2 is pretty power hungry so must love your DPC! Not really sure what to suggest beyond that I'm afraid. Maybe an [url="http://www.epifani.com/products/PS_1000BA.php"]Epifani Performance 1000[/url]; is 16lbs too heavy?

[quote name='jasperok' post='645110' date='Nov 4 2009, 11:58 AM']Just wondering if anyine knows of brands of acoustic strings that are out there? I see very little choice on the bay or else where really. I need some warm (not bright) short scale strings for my resonator bass and want to try out a few different types. Thanks[/quote] Is the Reso a magnetic or piezo pickup? I ask as it affects which string types you can use. Why not buy some Status Graphite Hitwires? Rob does short scale black nylon, flat and dedicated acoustic bass strings, so you should fine something you like there...
