If you haven't, take a look at the Smoothhound. It's about the same price as a Line 6 G30, half the size, has a metal transmitter and the battery life is much much better.

[quote name='MoJo' timestamp='1438512480' post='2835023'] The BG250 doesn't have an effects loop [/quote] Thats a good reason then :-) Oops!

I have a Puma 110 which I use as a stage monitor and di to the main PA. It is on its 3rd woofer and last night stopped working altogether so I will probably go back to markbass. Shame, it has been a good bit of kit to use but I need something more reliable. [b]Edit[/b]: just plugged it in to see if I could find the problem and it is working flawlessly again. That's almost worse than it breaking down in the first place!

Why use an ABY pedal? Wouldn't it be simpler to connect the effects send of one to the effects return of the other?

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1438282475' post='2833269'] While playing and you realize your standing in an inch of piss, your playing a dive. Blue [/quote] Priceless, thank you for that genuine laugh out loud moment. Never had a gig like that, though I can remember being in Maine Rd Manchester and watching rivers of piss cascade down the terracing. Great thread. For some reason 'that' scene from the Blues Brothers springs to mind.

You'll get best results with line-level inputs (ie, a keyboard, or a guitar/bass/whatever through a DI box. I'd be inclined to go with the A/B box, the other advantage of this is that the instrument you're not using will be turned off, so won't contribute to the sound if it resonates.

[quote name='Grand Wazoo' timestamp='1437715071' post='2828399'] All above is correct, but the Ibanez ones are still 34" so not exactly much of a difference to the extended range, [/quote] The 5 string is 34" on the G , 35.5" on the B .

Phil Jones Bass Briefcase. 100W, in theory.

I like the idea of an acoustic bass roundup. If you could herd them all into a corner or a pen it would be so much easier to make sure none escape the flamethrower .

Gig in Colchester so I am a definite no. That's a shame, have a good one.

MTD Kingston.

A Zoom B3 would fit the description.

I put the strap onto the strap button and then lock the straplock over the top. Don't attach the strap lock to the strap. That way, the strap lock can't rotate on the strap so the weight of the bass is hanging on the locking pin, which seems to be the main cause of failure. The weight of the bass is always on the strap.

Hi Chris, what are the power supply requirements for the receiver?

Andrew Guyton.

I can collect it, of you are not in a hurry. It might help if you told us where you need it to be delivered to?

It's a list of lists, compiled from 11 or 12 internet surveys, possibly the laziest journalism I can recall. And no mention of Colin Hodgkinson!

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1435385973' post='2808256'] I didn't get to watch much of it last night but out the bits I did see, the most unimpressive was Florence and the most enjoyable for me was Jungle. [/quote]Jungle were excellent, I loved the sound the bassist was getting out of that Thunderbird, and what about that little kid breakdancing?

Bass big muff.

Think obbm had one of these for a while. It you are in an upstairs flat, I wonder if vibrations through the floor might be an be issue for the neighbours downstairs.

How can you tell if something is bass related? If it's not broke, don't fix it!
