that's now my midget t!!!

thanks I was only kidding! However to be fair I was sort of seriously enquiring whether a splitter out of a single speakon into 2 8 ohm cab was in any way different from a single speakon out to an 8 ohm cab daisy chained to another. I had concepts like series and parallel in mind. Based on balloons and maths (2x8ohm cabs= 4ohms) I am now supposed to know that however you connect 2 8 ohm cabs to an amp you get a 4 ohm load? So, crucially, I dont need to worry about finding a 2 output amp to power my single speakon BF cabs.

that's a great bass at a fab price. Good luck with sale from a happy owner of a corvette $$5

why?

oh my oh my! KS might be a bit feisty and all the rest as a person but good god he can make basses

Hello. What does using a y splitter mean for load when connected to 2 8 ohm cabs? There is no end to my ignorance but will that mean 4 ohm?!

[quote name='munkonthehill' post='1284949' date='Jun 28 2011, 08:56 AM']My only worry is if I am happy with this setup and have no more updates,,,,, what will you read on this forum Rich??? Hahahaha [/quote]

that's hilarious mate there is not a snobaws chance in hell of you settling down to a set up! I could be on here till I'm an old man and you'd still be searching for that perfect bit of kit. But you're right. If you do settle down, I will have little reason to come here.

[quote name='RandomBass' post='1279196' date='Jun 22 2011, 11:03 PM']Well the PF500 turned up as planned on Tuesday, but I've had very little time to play with it - until tonight at practice. I ran it through the Compact and Midget, using my Zoom B2 for a little it of 'drive' for some songs. As an aside, my love for the Zoom seems to have waned of late - and it appears to be ending up as an expensive tuner at the moment - the more I use it the more noisy I find it sounds. Perhaps as I gain more experience and confidence, I'm becoming more fussy about the sound. It's a great tuner though lol.

The PF sounded absolutely glorious through the cabs (alongside two average volume guitarists, drummer and vocals). I've been enjoying the tone I get from my Micro VR, but just needed more oomph. I think I've found it! My workhorse over the past couple of years has been my MAG600 - it's never missed a beat, and seems built to last. I prefer the wood/tolex finishes compared to the metal of the PF - just seems more gig-resistant, if you get my drift. I'd love the PF500 innards in the Micro VR form factor .

I'm not used to having selectable mid frequencies, and I'm going to have to twiddle with that some more before I'm comfortable with what it's actually doing to my sound. Leaving the tone section on flat, and switching the Lo boost on, gives an authoritative, deep, tuneful and solid bottom - exactly where I like to be. Selecting either 2 or 3 on the mid selector and with a bit of mid boost really brings some 'punch' to the equation.

And the Pf500/Midget/Compact setup is extremely loud. But the beauty is there is not a hint of stress to be heard - probably a lot to do with the cabinets, but also the amp not running out of steam at those higher volumes (which I doubt I shall need that often).

The compressor seems a tad harsh (read 'abrupt) at times, and I needed to back it off a lot before I was happy with it.

Fan noise is irrelevant when playing, and the unit was hardly warm even after an extended thrashing.

And fortunately it fits perfectly in a spare laptop bag I had to hand - amp, pedal and cables all in one bag

In summary, I can say it appears to be giving me what I had hoped sound-wise. I was going to say if anyone is still considering the Andertons deal, don't delay. Unfortunately it appears that they are now out of stock - which doesn't surprise me. Even at £380 its a great amp - I was just one of the lucky ones to nab one for less than £300.

Cheers

that's a helpful review. Just a small technical question, I note that the PF500 has separate jack and speakon outputs, are you connecting a cab to each? My midget t and compact are the usual one speakon set up and just want to be sure that the outputs work simultaneously to two cabs to deliver a 4 ohm load, rather than as alternative ways to get a single output that then needs daisy chained.

[quote name='munkonthehill' post='1284619' date='Jun 27 2011, 09:10 PM']The bass terror head is getting delivered tomorrow but I couldnt wait to stick up a wee pic of what I have so far..
I cant wait to ge the head and try this 2x12 out.
Roll on fridays rehearsal to try out the full rig [/quote]

oh, yes! That will be awesome mate. Looks good, sounds brilliant. Perfect set up.

[quote name='deej' post='1283338' date='Jun 26 2011, 08:47 PM']Did Barge Concepts stop making their pedals, or did I just imagine this? Im sure I read something like that a while back.[/quote]

not sure what's with them. There were def issues a while back and if you go to bargeconcepts.com there's not been much going on for 18 months. The pedal range is still behind the front page. [url="http://www.bargeconcepts.com/mb.html"]>>HERE<<[/url]

[quote name='BigRedX' post='1283152' date='Jun 26 2011, 05:38 PM']For set ups (especially if you're doing other people's instruments and charging for it) there's no substitute IMO for the Perterson.[/quote]

this is probably right. For live I use Polytune and don't notice, but the polytune has a bit of rep for being "loose". If you are in the set up business you probably want a top end beast.

[quote name='thumbo' post='1283173' date='Jun 26 2011, 06:03 PM']That sounds like a great pedal. I could really do with something like that for my board.[/quote]

when I bought it I really didn't think I'd need it but soon as you have the option you find yourself with a whole range of wet/dry blends for different tracks. For a monkey like me (unlike Shep or some other pedal genius) it's sort of a half way house between pure pedal based set up and an FX unit.

The VFB can be picked up pretty cheap and it won't muck up your tone, it does just what it's meant to do. The feedback loop is an interesting part of the pedal, if you've got a fuzz and a delay in the loop you can get some great feedback tones.[/quote]

I just picked up a custom barge concepts double blend double looper (two loops, two blend settings per loop + variable z) from Mark on here. it is amazing. So +1 for Barge Concepts.

[quote name='deej' post='1282309' date='Jun 25 2011, 05:50 PM']A Boss LS-2 will be the cheap option, plus lots of extra useful features if you need them. An Xotic X-Blender is probably the best out there but will cost you. If you wanna keep it British then check out the sfx s&m pedal.[/quote]

Depends what you are looking for but another British option:

[url="http://www.davehallamps.co.uk/page25.html"]DHA Bob the Blender[/url]

richer than us all put together and multiplied by 1000. Shagged more hot women than any of us thought existed. Fellow bass player. Comes across as a decent guy. All the rest is petty jealousy. (No big U2 fan BTW)

brilliant - i read through this and wondered how it had resurfaced. After all that it would be great to reappear for £650. I have a natural MM but I do like the white one.

[quote name='RandomBass' post='1276294' date='Jun 20 2011, 08:03 PM']I'm sure my Compact & Midget will enjoy it too [/quote]

let me know cause I am looking for a new option for my compact and midget t. This is a cheaper option than the others on my list.

I am getting just that wee bit interested in this. It kind of passed me by when I was looking to put together my long list of "micro amps". I have my heart set on an Aggy TH500 I think, but will need to try this out given the incredible price. Actually I have a sneaking suspicion I should also give the GK MBs a longer harder look.

me like. Agree about the colour scheme - tidy. Try to avoid Status gas. That's an expensive business.

before I read the post I thought for a second after all your hard work to get yourself a set of Roscoes you had changd your mind and had gone Fender! Me and fretless dont mix nor do me and anything over about £20 at the mo but best of luck mate, you deserve these great basses.

Nicer than the super Js - like the White one in particular. Cool name too. Pity it won't happen.

[quote name='munkonthehill' post='1163814' date='Mar 15 2011, 11:24 PM']I know where your coming from buddy. I am getting great reviews from they fellas in the band about my sound coming from the combo and my main guitairst nearly wet himself when I kicked in with the DHA pedal for Slither and Ace of Spades.

Maybe im chasing something thats not there, THEE TONE. I keep forgetting that regardless of my TONE, I am still going to sound like me.[/quote]

glad you're getting on with the DHA by the sound of it. Hope you find what you are looking for. I like following all the ins and outs of your hunt for the perfect set up.

been saving for a year, almost ready to go on a new lightweight head to go with my BF midget t + compact. My long list is EA micro, MB500, SL6/900, TH500 or GB9/9.2. Unfortunately I have not been able to try the TH500 or GB9.2 yet, and only the SL9 and GB9 with my own cabs. Might head over to GuitarGuitar later since they seem the only ones with TH500s in stock and my heart is saying "Aggy, Aggy, Aggy" since I used to have a tonehammer, and have loved each Aggy amp I have tried. It's just murder to find all these amps up in the frozen north.

that shot of the back is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen of a bass, the colour and the weave

[quote name='dc2009' post='1234967' date='May 17 2011, 09:43 PM']what does one of these do? (I'm an idiot)[/quote]

dead simple: two true bypass effects loops (i tended to use one for dirt and the other for chorus, flanger etc) that you can switch on and off separately or have both on. The INV switch just reverses the state of the unit so if you have loop A on, switching INV switches the unit to B on, B on to A on, both on to both off, both off to on.
