I once encountered a very drunk Jools Holland trying to chat up my girlfriend, he had no chance..... but I still enjoyed watching him try his little best.

This will undoubtedly sound good, and indeed an Ultra must be in the makings. Then a new D class amp with a VMT/B7K/AO switch called the M901

I struggling enough not picking up on what my kids like..... seems I can pretty much sing all the bloomin' lyrics.... and they're 3 and 5!

Must buy imho

You're doomed, face it

It doesn't play well, but looks cool:

Really looking good!

I had a cream white one as my 1st bass. Basically it was the only one in the shop I could afford, it was really cheap..... played well though, fond memories of learning to play the bass on it.

Nice!

Surprisingly nice!

You know you want to , this entire topic is an elaborate plot to talk yourself into buying one ..... lol

Why did the bassist cross the road? 'Cause The soundman said he needed a cross over........

I use a laptop 19v external battery to power by PJB DoubleFour. It is surprisingly loud, and I get about 2/3 hours from a charge, if you would have 2 and switch half way through the set you would be fine....??

[quote name='MoJoKe' timestamp='1503401863' post='3357874'] I don't like the look of single cut basses, but if I found one which played like no other and I had to have it in my life, then I would see beyond the look of it. Me, I like yellow speakers, and yes, the new EVO1 head is amazing - everyone should try it..! so much so that its pretty much sold out in the UK at the moment.... [/quote] I think I may have found my Single Cut

[quote name='la bam' timestamp='1503346921' post='3357526'] With the new mark bass evo 1 I can put 2 amps into 1 speaker. Not traditional bi amping as such, but setting one amp clean and one driven helps keep the low end present. [/quote] I have just seen this, great dual amping idea, the 2 xlr outs actually send a true dual amp signal to FOH. Perfect for larger applications, the speaker out is indeed a single mixdown of the 2 signals. Pretty cool.

[quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1503339825' post='3357408'] Hah - about time! Besides you have never fessed to what you actually think is a good looking bit of kit? The Markbass AC 121 Lite is still [i]the best[/i] combo for < £1K bar none. [/quote] Ha ha! I did fess up, I like Mesa's designs (not all of them)...

Look what I found! [Img]https://www.parts-express.com/Data/Default/Images/Catalog/Original/245-1182_HR_0.jpg[/IMG]

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1503336766' post='3357372'] Bi-amping can work very well when done right, but where most bass rigs are concerned it's done wrong. The wrong way is using full range bass cabs for both amps. The right way is with an electronic crossover that sends the lows to a dedicated low frequency cab, say a 1x18 or 2x15, the mids and highs to a dedicated midrange/HF cab, loaded with six or eight inch midrange drivers. A variation is using a bass amp and bass cab for the lows and clean mids, a guitar combo for overdriven tones, but that's not bi-amping, it's dual amping. [/quote] I was hoping you'd chip in BFM. Back in the day I did a bastardised version of what you suggest, as I split my signal, then used a crossover into an amp driving an SWR 410 (with tweeter off) for the lows and another driving an old Peavey 215 (no tweeter) for the highs+fx. For some reason that sounded better/more musical to me. I think I might have stolen the idea off switching the 410/215 from Billy Sheehan. Without going into too much detail, I tried some crossover trickery on my full range cabs today and it sounded awful, your comments on full range thus reaffirm my findings. What if I turn the tweeter off on one and the tweeter on full whack n the other.... hmmm.... On a different note, remember the Trace 1x18, 410 and hi-box 4x5 set-ups of back in the day? Back breakers that sounded great

Okay, I have been trying to ignore MB because without exception their stuff is FUGLY, but I have to say the premise behind this makes me very very interested. Great price and too....... hmm

Back in the early '90s I had a bi-amp bass rig. The main reason for it was that how ever much I tried any high(ish) gain bass pedal resulted in low end loss to an extent that it annoyed me and in the end I ended up getting a X-over to split my clean signal, with low going to a 410 and hi going to a 215. With speaker technology, amp technology and FX pedal technology moving one considerably over the years I sold my bi-amp set-up many many years ago. I did use a 2 amp set-up for a while with 2 seperate preamps feeding both sides of a QSC PLX1804 with my FX chain on just the one side. Recently we have seen the Tech21 DUG and Orange OB series come out, basically harking back to days of old. And sometimes I think adding an amp and buying a crossover (I already have 2 Tecamp L212s that could hand both the lows and highs) would give me next level bass sounds. Looking for opinions here, pro/con/any other thoughts. Cheers Basschat

In front of my amp. Although I hate being a fan boy, for this pedal I am a fan boy..... I have had the B3K, B7K both great in their own way, the VMT which I did not like at all and this..... to me this is next level. It has a girth and warmth even at high gain levels I missed in my B7K. If you only buy one DG pedal, let it be this one. But that's just a fan boy's opinion

Not heard this in years, I am on the "wow, this is great" side. Now to find the vinyl, must have it stil.....

The issue is you cannot tell by just keeping the volume knob down. Safest approach is to try and match what the manufacturer advises.

So if your wife starts giving you aggro for buying it, does that make it a W(h)ing(e)bass?
