    I've decided to sell my Eminence Kappalite 15s, 8 ohms. They are not the LF but the HO models, ideal for a 2x15. I had them mounted in a pair of Jack 15s and only used them a few times so they've probably only had up to 10 hours use, they are however fully burned in. I didn't like the sound of the Jacks so these have just been sitting in the studio unused but not unloved. I'm never going to use them so here they are for sale. £210 for the pair posted or I will split them and post them for £110 each. Info and current prices from Blue Aran and Lean Business below. Bank transfer is good or paypal gift.

    Where are you playing in Ashford? We and my 69er are at the star . It would appear that Ashford may well be a Barefaced only zone tonight.

    Always wear on stage what you wouldn't wear on the street. Mind you, trying to get a dressing room to change in is a different story.

    Had this same problem with our drummer a few years ago, just couldn't get the level with an SM58 so got one of these, http://www.samsontech.com/samson/products/microphones/dynamic-microphones/q4cl/ Twice as much level before feedback. Not the only mic to look at of course, but the right mic is out there somewhere.

    Nothing to do with John Entwhistle, just the same surname. I've fitted a P and a J to my bass and use them all the time. I thought that at that price what have I got to lose? The answer is nothing, they are seriously good, good output and no noise and sound just they are supposed to, oh, single coil as well. I'm impressed if that means anything.

    Here you go. http://www.entwistlepickups.com/pickup.php?puid=JBX Amazingly good at any price but for a tenner, truly wonderful and worth a try.

    You could do the same thing with one of these. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-UNI-II-RACK-SHELF-19-2U-DEEP-350-BLACK-/271405974739

    In 45 years of playing, I've not used my own amp only once.

    More than happy with mine as well.

    Hey, Hastings voted No. 1, probably because I live in Hastings.

    I could do with some advice please.

    I didn't go to the bass show and I've got one of them and I'm left handed. Not sure about the hole but the p pickup is routed through to the control cavity and the J has a hole drilled from the pickup cutout to the control cavity. Hope this helps.

    BFM has got a forum for them here, http://billfitzmaurice.info/forum/viewforum.php

    Have you seen the new simplexx cabs by BFM? Might be worth a go.

    I love valves but they only sound good with the amp turned up, when they're really quiet they just sound like any amp. The Streamliner has got the valve presence but at any volume. I've only used it with the 69er of course and imo.

    I just posted the following in another thread but it seems appropriate to post it again here, so here it is. [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][i][color=#282828]The truly amazing thing to me is that with the Streamliner and 69er, I get the same sound at whatever volume I play at, from silly quiet to, well, heaven. I've never had that before with any other gear. It's always had to be in the sweet spot, ie, loud, to get 'that' sound. The other thing I've noticed, or should I say enjoyed, is that I can hear every note on the fretboard, never had that before either.[/color] [color=#282828]Streamliner and 69er, to me, the perfect combination. [/color][/i][/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#282828]I would assume that the 69er is not unique in this respect and that the same could be said for all Barefaced cabs.[/color][/font]

    I've used both and I thought that the Fission tracked better, also, with the Unibass you have a slide switch to change effect type whereas with the Fission, it's all done with foot switches.

    We're a 3 piece as well. An example of how I use mine is when we do the Spencer Davis Group, Gimme Some Lovin'. The guitarist uses a pog so we've got the organ sound covered. I play the main riff with bass and an octave up and for the chorus I press the 5th footswitch and I'm playing chords above the bass line and then back to just bass and the octave up again. It sounds so full and powerful. A drummer friend of ours who heard us play it, said it sent shivers down his spine it sounded so good. As a pedal it's not perfect and as others have said it can sound synthy and possibly a bit harsh but in with the rest of the band and through a separate amp it's brilliant. It's like being Thin Lizzy all on your own or hit the 4th button and you're a one man Deep Purple and Rainbow tribute.

    I've got one and love it. Seriously great effect. It's to me what an 8 string bass should sound like. Mind you, the built in distortion is not that brilliant but it does have a separate effects output and I take this to a separate amp and use the amps distortion. Brilliant. If you have any questions just fire away and I'll do my best to answer. Did I mention that I love it?

    KAM

    Don't know a lot about Kam, but we've been using a pair of these, http://www.thomann.de/gb/the_tamp_d4500.htm and I'm more than happy with them.

    8.30 - 9.30, half hour break then 10.00 - 11.00 is pretty normal for us.
