what do we win if we guess what it is?

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1429997282' post='2757107'] I always think one of the nice things about the for sale section is that you can browse around and might come across something interesting you'd not normally spot. Subdividing would take this away and the section could get a bit boring. I think it would hurt sales numbers too. [/quote] this - you start looking for a fender jazz to replace your squier- and before you know it you've gone through sandberg, sadowsky,valenti and are just putting the deposit down on your sei custom jazz.

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1429984228' post='2756973'] You're not asking too much - a Super Midget will do that just fine! I don't know of any other cab as small or light with comparable output. [url="http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/Super-Midget.htm"]http://barefacedbass...uper-Midget.htm[/url] [/quote] business idea for you.... backpack harness for your super midget and/or retro210 - I imagine some kind of cover with handles and the 210 would be an easy lug

[quote name='DanH71' timestamp='1429975711' post='2756884'] I know, sin car isn't the best but I hope to learn. For now I need a small lightweight no I can lug on/off buses and trains.. I understand some sacrifice is needed in power output, so if I could find a 300/400W single driver lightweight solution that would be great. [/quote] it's not the power in specs that are of interest- it's the amount of volume that the cab can give out with that power....

looks stunning.

[quote name='philw' timestamp='1429552331' post='2752540'] My memory of the 80s is that [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Tokai was the brand that finally pushed Fender into the arms of Japanese manufacturers. I think the first Squires are actually re-bedged Tokais. In other words, 80s Tokais are actually early MIJ Fenders.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]P[/font][/color] [/quote] Fender Japan was from the greco factory - not tokai

that could have been a link to ANYTHING!

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1429711694' post='2754186'] Heresy! Burn him! Burn the witch! [/quote]Only if your cabs weigh more than a duck!

could always go the other way - barefaced IEM....

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1429628082' post='2753392'] It depends on if you want one big cab or some smaller ones? And how loud you need to go. Walkabout into one Two10 won't be exactly quiet! [/quote] Something to try then! [quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1429628082' post='2753392'] From the logical engineering perspective I thought we'd solved most bass guitar amplification challenges as well as can be expected - but if there are more unsolved ones then I'd like to know and I'll see what I can suggest! [/quote] from an engineering perspective maybe - but it's the design problems out there that are interesting. If I had the $$ a powered cab with DSP and a couple of preamps for it would possibly be the way I would go

the 4x12 you mentioned sounds interesting. out of interest... if you had a mesa walkabout... 300w at 4ohms, 160w or so at 8 ohms, can push it to 2ohms if needed... which barefaced would you suggest? the retro 610? two retro210. It might be as interesting to ask peoples problems and see if there is a barefacedsolution to them (which gives you more engineering latitude than folk predetermining that they want a certain size driver or so on)

250k you're sticking the pot in the pickup side of the preamp- after your blend pot, it's going to be a variable resistor going to earth, your signal from that will then going into the preamp and straight out to the jack.

I find that the input on whatever amp makes a big difference. Some amps don't like active basses as much I've found.
