    I'm going to guess Cab Ultra AO Smaller foot print compressor Another limited B7K with new graphics.
  2. fretmeister
    Look for an old SWR Amplite? That was pretty tiny.

    And one from Erik http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtOeWQbTIyY FWIW - The bright switch adds a massive amount of high clank on the full AO - to the point where I tend to use it and then back the treble down a little - to get a sort of halfway position.

    Seems to be the way the world is going. Apparently the next iPhone is going to hit a grand at full retail!
  6. fretmeister
    I know. I suppose I was just hoping it would be at B3K levels.
  7. fretmeister
    Not really - it does "different" to the B3K Ok it blends 2 types of drive but so does the Duality.

    There's plenty of stereo solid state power amps that don't need the unused channel to do anything. I used to run the Yamaha P5000S using 1 side only. Just leave the B channel volume at zero. Perfectly fine as that is what it was designed for. Plenty loud enough.

    £245. £50 over the B3K. Ouch!

    I've got the full AO - I suspect that I would have bought the smaller one if it had been available at the time as I don't use the DI stuff either. No doubt I'll end up getting the small one as well for my small pedal board.

    [quote name='Black Coffee' timestamp='1504458266' post='3364997'] Good evening fretmeister, Bass weighs a shade under 10 lbs with the strap and strap locks on it. Weighed with luggage scales. Doesn't feel as heavy as the 10lb figure would suggest when you're playing it but I have a nice thick strap for my basses as I've a weak back. Hope this is ok. [/quote] Thank you. Too heavy for me alas - not just back issues, but multiple hernia repairs too. Several years ago I saw 1 that was only 8.5lb and like an idiot I didn't buy it.

    I got two 4x12 bass cabs, 3 basses, kit bag, pedal board, 16 channel powered desk, 2 PA cabs and 2 people in my old Focus estate. It managed about 40 mph then. The main issue was the weight, not the volume of kit.
  14. fretmeister
    Can you weigh it please?

    [quote name='naxos10' timestamp='1504337048' post='3364140'] A very simplistic amp with instrument and pre-amp inputs only, no 'tone' controls, tuner, USB socket and speaker outputs. Then produce a range of pre-amp/foot pedals/plug-in modules for any other requirements. There could be a pre/power combination as an alternative. This gives the bassist the ability to add and change as required. [/quote] Mark Bass did that. It died on its arse.
  16. fretmeister
    Try the pedal into the FX return on the amp, thus bypassing the amp preamp section. You might like that too.
  17. fretmeister
    There are several compressor choices in there. From the basic Dynacomp type though to complex ones. I can make it match my Origin and DG pedal compressors. Also - I am in love with the GK amp model. To the point I am stupidly considering buying one!!
  18. fretmeister
    Official cases go in the loft. No name cases get sold or donated to the local music school. Basses live in a rack. They go in mono Vertigo bags if I'm taking them anywhere.

    Just remembered the most important thing. NO BLOODY FAN! If AV guys can build 1u 2000W power amps without fans then so can bass amp makers.
  20. fretmeister
    There are several online serial number search sites already. But not even Fender can tell you the month that a bass was actually finished (I tried to find out for a strat I own)

    Andy bought my Darkglass Duality. Quick payment - good all the way.
  22. fretmeister
    I love it when my callouses are like that! Means no pain in a long gig.
  23. fretmeister
    That would be "contributory negligence" But also - if they were hurt doing their own criminal act (such as taking your kit) then you'll be alright.

    I think I know that drummer too! I never leave the gear unsupervised. It's just not worth it.

    Errr... I saw Jason Newsted eating a well dodgy looking kebab at Donington in 1991. Clearly wanted something he couldn't get back stage. Like the raging shits or something. That's the best I've got.
