Must admit I’m thinking of the ampless route as well. All my gigs go FOH and all the stages have monitors so am looking into this and at the successes the various members on here have with this.

I found they had a fairly big top-end roll-off, get a good biting on stage sound and what came through the DI to FOH had considerably more highs. Maybe the intention there was to make things easier when using the DI and not have too much low end going to FOH? But whatever the theory I’m in agreement, they have a very good in the mix sound.

Sounds great, always good when things turn out this way

Buy 10 then send 5 back & get a refund for £4.59, they’ll have paid you 10p for the pleasure

Like that Steve

Watching a thrilling snooker world tournament semi final, both players really pulling some shots out of the bag in this.

My first performance was at 16 playing bass for the school orchestra on the annual Xmas play. Only played on a few numbers tho as had only been playing for a year and had only learned Sex Pistols songs so wasn’t that proficient at orchestra type music.

Having been to The London Bass Guitar Show I’m surprised there are any angels left the amount of that that goes on there!

I hope my awareness of my own limitations stops this happening to me. I really do……

That’s a pretty awesome bunch @Rayman, many of a certain generation would have been very starstruck there, including me.

I used Markbass gear for a few years because of this. Seemed whenever I went to see a band play and like the sound it was a Markbass rig the bassist was using, sounded especially great with Fender basses imo. Only moved on as needed some gain/drive.

Given the reputation I’d like to try a Wal.

20 years to life, methinks

Going to see Moving Pictures (Rush tribute) at The Craufurd Arms, Wolverton on June 9th. Never saw Rush so will be nice to see a tribute.

I had the 1x15 Black Widow cab and that was heavy enough - especially as I lived in a 2nd floor flat.

Wowzers!!

I’ve always thought that Stiff Little Fingers were similar @cheddatom, their lyrics could be taken to be left by some but they’re really just about fairness & decency.

I’ve been using a SubZero setup which is similar to the WL20, works on 5.8Hz, not had any problems so far.

Agree, ideal for a short term solution at a gig, think I’ll be getting one of these

Good call

Don’t leave us hanging, what did you decide on?

Of the ones I checked out I like: Dave Hope (Kansas) Mike Mills (REM) Tony Butler (Big Country) Nate Mendel (Foo Fighters) my fave But the one that stood out for me was John Taylor (Duran Duran) as his tone sounded pretty much the same isolated as in the mix whereas most of the others sounded a fair bit treblier & “rattier” than would be expected.

Good question, I’d be very interested in that too
