Aye, that's a fair point about the impedance. From what I can find, I think it says a min of 1 Mohm, but I think we're ideally looking for 10 for a piezo pickup? Might still need some sort of buffer going into the front end Iain

I've got a Realist fitted. The other reason I was looking at the Mesa was the onboard HPF-very handy especially when using small cabs

Has anyone tried the WD800 with upright bass? Had a shot of a D800+ and really liked it for its relative simplicity but I play upright as well and can't help feeling the WD800 might work better with a less"baked-in" tone possibly and the parametric mid controls handy for problematic rooms. I live in Orkney so getting a shot of a WD800 soon is impossible... Cheers Iain

Chantal Van Lierop was in Glasgow but I think has moved to the continent somewhere. Have you tried Neal McWilliam-he's in Partick?

I run a GB Streamliner 600 head through a Barefaced One10 and find it gives a great clean sound which can go quite loud. I also run an HPF as the sub bass from a DB can be overwhelming for a speaker. All very light as well
