  1. How about wearing the gig bag upside down? It likely swaps one problem for another (the bass may now hit your calves instead of doorframes) but worth a try?
  2. I tilt maybe 95% of the time and when I moved from a BB2 to an RCF 732-A I was 100% happy with the switch, including sound quality and bass response at high volumes, and dispersion. The trade-off as you say is that most things are heavier than a BB2, including the RCF. TBH I found a 732-A pointing straight at my face was too loud for use as a personal monitor and now use a smaller QSC CP12.
  3. The manufacturer (Warwick) states "All basses are lightweight with max. 9.5 lbs (4.3 kg)." Seems like quite a claim, although I suppose I've no reason to doubt them. https://shop.warwick.de/en/instruments/electric-basses/sadowsky-metroexpress/21-fret-hybrid-pj-bass/22817/sadowsky-metroexpress-21-fret-hybrid-p/j-bass-morado-fingerboard-5-string I've previously emailed Thomann ([email protected]) to ask for the weight of a specific bass (not a Sadowsky), and they did weigh it for me.
  4. 250W seems underpowered for a 2x12". Nothing wrong technically as such, but it seems inefficient to be lugging around a large cab that you can't then make the most of. As for mixing cabs, it is indeterminate whether the MB115 will sound good in combination with your choice of 2x12". Instead of ending up with three pieces of gear, potentially none of which will go that well together, how about selling the MB115 and LM250 and picking up a more-powerful head which is better matched to the 2x12"? Or - buy a second MB115 (or 115MBP if you can find one - the discontinued powered extension). Having two combos also provides the backup you mentioned.
  5. Yep, afraid it seems you have a bit missing.
  6. We have these (or similar - not sure which brand/model we have) https://www.thomann.de/gb/km_24650.htm
  7. Thanks for the additional info - makes sense. To add to the suggestions, the MXR M81 is a small, well-built, transparent preamp pedal with DI.
  8. Just going back to the original post - what's the reason for not wanting to use your amp's DI?
  9. Why not just use your existing MS-60B, and then only change if after a number of gigs it transpires you are not happy with it. I used a MS-60B with a Behringer DI400P DI box for ages. In the end I was pulled to EBS preamps for their feature set (as I am doubling nearly all the time), but I was never unhappy with the way the Zoom sounded.
  10. You can test your existing cable without a multimeter, if you have any device with a 1/4" headphone output e.g. an interface or hi-fi. Play music through that device and connect it to the Palmer's normal input ("Bass In") using say the red mono jack - then through your headphones you should be able to hear one side (either left or right) of the music. Then switch to the black mono jack, and you should be able to hear the other side. If you are going to replace, I've been using an EBS cable on my pedalboard which has been reliable - EBS ICY-30 (30cm). They also make a ICY-100 which I guess is 100cm.
  11. Yes that it is the correct type of cable (although I've had problems in the past with these cheap cables being DOA - do you have a way to check e.g. a multimeter?). The split mono jacks go in the HX One, not the Palmer. The two options are: red jack into HX One "IN L/MONO" and black jack into HX One "OUT L/MONO" black jack into HX One "IN L/MONO" and red jack into HX One "OUT L/MONO"
  12. Does your cable have a mono or stereo jack at the non-split end? Do you have a link or photo?
  13. Consider 3M Dual Lock low profile. It's more expensive but you don't need much of it at all (1cm² at each corner of a pedal is more than enough), and it holds the pedal considerably more firmly than hook & loop.
  14. Audio-Technica AT2020 cardioid condenser - popular budget-friendly mic. https://www.audio-technica.com/en-gb/at2020 £50 posted.
