    I like this one a lot Great sounds and nice playing.

    It's offending me less than the £15,000 Phil Lynott precision. But it's still taking the fosters.

    He doesn't say whether the bass is in the PA or not.

    But you don’t hear it with a cab. So record with a cab or an IR of a cab. There’s loads of amps that sound crap without a proper bass cab. Can you post a sound clip? Just the bass, nothing else.

    Will probably help quite a bit. I do a couple of gigs a year at a place that has an awful folding stage. Sometimes I've pretty much Zero'd the bass knob on my amp to deal with it.

    Definitely do not use it on a TT800. As with all solid state power section amps the master volume is easy to control, and any preamp drive will be controlled by the gain control. As said - they are for valve power sections ONLY, and the number of bass amps with valve power sections is really small, and even then the highest capacity attenuator I've ever seen for a guitar amp is 150W, which is far lower than you'd need for a big bass amp. The main reason why you don't see them for bass amps is 1: Because even valve power section bass amps really don't need them 2: There's no market for them.

    High Pass filter and also EQ to suit the room even if it's a bit bass-light.

    The battery life is the annoying thing. I just take a OneSpot with me if I’m just using that alone.

    That compressor has impressed me so much. I sold all my others, aside from a cheap backup Marshall ED1. Ive had most of the silly money compressors and I’d take the BC-1x over all of them.

    My current Nano board. It's quite fun. The Ultra Wave is a great overdrive as well as being able to do the silly stuff.

    Doh! I had forgotten Sandberg will build anything as a shorty!

    What would you fine people suggest for a short scale jazz type? Ideally a low weight option. ta

    What Bill said, I reckon. Speakers really are a low pass and a high pass filter in a box. My own cab tops out at about 4-5Khz (no tweeter) but if I plug into something else with a tweeter I get all manner of crap at the top I don't want. Have you tried running an IR of a suitable cab in the DAW? Record it raw, and then add the IR after. Then you can change the IR as much as you like without re-recording. It's always a good idea to record a DI track at the same time too. That way you can completely change everything. Amp / FX / Cabs etc etc.

    I’ve used the regular EMG J pickups for years. I’m now reading about the JA (and JAX) options that use an alnico magnet. Has anyone used both? Is there a noticeable difference? I’m tempted to try the JA / JAX but they don’t seem to be in stock anywhere and might be a build to order thing.

    I drop octaves like that sometimes. Often I’ll decide during the gig depending on whether the room has a woolly low end response.
  16. fretmeister
    very kind. Alas I’m in Northants. I get to Sheffield sometimes, but that about as far north as I get these days.

    I put the Aguilars in my shorty fan fret I used to have. They were a big improvement on the stock Barts.
  18. fretmeister
    How are you getting on with it? I keep looking at them, but I'd have to order a Superlight version.
  19. fretmeister
    Don't think I've ever seen pink silks before.
  20. fretmeister
    Bump. Open to trade offers etc. Don't be shy, I never get offended.
  21. fretmeister
    No idea. Same stuff on their IG.
  22. fretmeister
    That Electra sounds fantastic. Especially as there's about over £1000 price difference. What is your signal chain for recording? You always get a great sound.

    Here's the full tension chart https://www.daddario.com/globalassets/pdfs/accessories/tension_chart_13934.pdf

    That cab is capable of silly volumes. What amp is being used with it?
  25. fretmeister
    No. It should be in the sea with anyone who likes pineapple on pizza.
