Probably better with another cab. I would say get a matching cab, another 1x15 would sound nice.

I guess is a good sign of my playing had been improve. I can pretty much play the fretless like a fretted instrument, but couldn't play the fretless like a fretless, if you know what I mean.

Whats goes well on a Ashdown LB30 btw. Seriously thinking about Barefaced cab.

I've been starting playing a unline fretless bass for a few months now, yesterday I decided to practice on my fretted P and J. It felt really uncomfortable to play and weird. Feels like something called the fret is stopping me. Went back to my fretless after that lol.

So so true. I haven't met any sound guy that actually know what his doing so far lol. I bring my LB30 and said I want my valve tone coming through the DI and they are so resist of doing it. End up playing my valve amp onstage as monitor and lineout the DI on my MXR M80 .......

[quote name='obbm' timestamp='1423680260' post='2687907'] The only way that would work is if you mic up the cab. The DI from most valve amps comes out before the power stage, and it's the valve power stage that gives the valve amp its uniqueness. [/quote] Thats why I like my Ashdown LB30. The DI comes out after the valve power stage. Only problem with that amp is the DI signal could be too hot sometimes.

I don't really know will such things exist. I own a Ashdown LB30, is a 30watt all valve head. I won't say is very light and is not too small either. Of course comparing to bigger valve amp the LB30 is tiny and light weight. I can see the size could be smaller but I don't think the weight would be light. Never say never on technology, it may have something in the future that will full fill our requirement.

I personally think their matching 1x12 cab is a good one to go with your combo. That combo is loud as hell on its own, with another 1x12 cab it would be good, light weight and easy transport.

I use my MXR m80 as a DI box. My bass goes to the pedal and use the DI out to the PA and use the lineout into a 100 watt combo. I put the combo onto a amp stand and have it face me for monitor purpose.

I used a trace 1153 cab. sounded good but if would take the trace 2x10.

You are right about the intonation. THe rounds will makes me a better player lol

Picking roto flats and nylon flats might be a bad choice to tried. The roto jazz bass flats is super high tension to make it very uncomfortable to play. The black nylon is thicker and produce lower output but the tone is smooth and deep. Good for double bass sound. I've put a set of roto nickle rounds on, my fretless comes alive. Lots of brightless which i like for harmonic and lots of mwah tone. Not to mention my ebow works better on rounds then nylon strings.

Yeah is very compact but produce big sound. I've bought an amp stand for this so I can use this as stage monitor.

My westone fretless had a set of roto black nylon strings on. It play nice and go easy on my finger, but it never really give me that fretless sound i was searching for. Decided to spend 12 pounds on a set of roto rounds gauge 40-100 and strung it on the fretless. First plug in and play, i got my sound already. Light gauge is nice on the fretless and the rounds give so much mwag that i like.
