I use a Boss WL20 and have occasionally used it with the DB fine. Because it's so light it could just 'hang' from the jack with no issue, and I've never had a problem with it since I've started using it. It's on your old Realist pickup which the jack is looped through the tailpiece so is sort of held parallel to it (no banging, knocking etc) - though I imagine if you're fairly vigorous it might wobble around a bi.

Thanks, yep, unfortunately I have other health issues which mean when I get something it really does a number on me. Already fully jabbed to the nines. Feeling a bit better this morning but still quite dizzy so I suspect discretion is probably the better part of valour in this case... 😭

I’ve spent the last few months practising for our big winter concert with the pop orchestra I play with. For the second year on the bounce, I’m coming down with flu the night before the gig. If it’s anything like the what my wife currently has, I’ll be in no fit state to play. Months of work down the pan. Grrr I hate getting ill!!!

These are brilliant. I have one and it’s indispensable. This is a great price too. -
Eagerly awaiting pics... -
Jet Pedals Micro midi pedal for the HX Stomp
Jakester replied to bassadder's topic in Effects For Sale
I was looking at one of these the other day, but it wasn't clear from their website - can you individually configure each switch, or is it just a case of switching between preset modes? -
GSS Sumo Monster - That Watts Vs Volume thing?
Jakester replied to Jaybeevee's topic in Amps and Cabs
I had a Baby Sumo; I had exactly the same issue; I think that although the preamp I was using was supposedly a line level output, it wasn't enough to properly drive the amp, meaning for a given value compared to an 'all in one' amp it was quieter. You could try another preamp before/after your main output, or try a buffer pedal that could up the output. -

Thought I'd cross post this here in case of interest:

Schalltechnik_04 Vong Filterung adjustable HPF/LPF pedal. Bought off here, haven't really got round to using, so surplus to requirements! Built by @LukeFRC: Quite a handy thing - switchable HPF and LPF (with frequency sweep), and volume/boost control and DI with ground lift. Technical info here: https://schalltechnik04.de/en/instructions/vong-filterung Selling for what I paid, which is £75 posted. -
I find I don't need to do anything, I tend to get people afterwards being far more complimentary if I've been playing the upright than an electric - and that's with my very rudimentary upright skills (which are far worse than my electric skills). It seems to start conversations in a way that other instruments don't (and not just of the "ho ho, bet you've got a big car..." type).

I have (and until recently used for everything) a Tonebone OD (basically a Tonebone with a drive pedal attached). The EQ section is 'cut only', so there's no EQ boost at all. I'd say it probably isn't going to give you the 'active' tone it sounds like you're looking for.

You might be better off using a decent set of studio headphones, rather than studio monitors? That way you get decent sound reproduction at a lower cost than having to shell out for quality studio monitors and a subwoofer. That said, I bought some low/mid-range (i.e. cheap) full range active studio monitors and I can hear the bass just fine through them without any need for a sub etc.

Swiff C10 micro tuner. Tichy little tuner to squeeze into your board. Nice bright display, seems accurate! 3M Dual Lock on the bottom. Boxed. Currently on my board which I don't have to hand, so enjoy a pic of the box instead until I do! £15 posted? -
Seemingly not! Sold!
