  1. It is active, but the controls are the same as a passive bass. In use, it's effectively a boosted passive.
  2. Thanks. I'm in no rush to see it gone so will wait for the right offer (ie not a straight trade for a £500 bass!)
  3. Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. Reckon I'll keep my eye out for a light and compact 2x12 or a high spl 1x12 with a decent amount of cone displacement.
  4. Thanks guys. At the risk of asking an 'old' question, what would I lose by using a 1x12 over a 2x12 or 2x10? Would the 1x12 still give the low end just less 'volume'? I really like the idea of a 1x12, but concerned about what might be lacking.
  5. The weight is pretty important. I've had my day carting around hefty loads and my back never thanked me for it! Will have a look at the Trace gear. Thanks
  6. What are the TC electronic cabs like? They appear to be light and compact.
  7. Thanks for the suggestions. There certainly appears to be plenty of BF in these parts, but having never heard them played 'in anger' its difficult to know whether it will suit. The lack of a tweeter is a detractor for some of them. One of my main considerations is whether it will fit into a 1 series boot!
  8. Having sold my beloved Epifani 410UL, I need something smaller, lighter and more portable, but that still has a big sound. I don't expect it to be the same as a 4x10, but would love something with a nice balance of low end projection and a bit of top end sizzle. It does not need to be mega loud as playing in a low-ish volume setting. Currently using a Markbass F1 (which I love). Budget of £300-£400 second-hand. Suggestions? Worth mentioning that I'm not a massive fan of MB cabs and I can't be doing with anything 'woolly' or 'nasal' in tone. Thanks in advance.
  9. Coventry. Happy to meet up somewhere if that suits.
  10. Sale - £795 (trade £825) Playing situation has changed and to be honest I'm looking to go back to a more traditional tone so selling this lovely Pedulla Thunderbolt 5, hand-built in 1993 by Michael Pedulla. Specs: Body - Alder Neck - maple Scale - 34" Pickups - Bartolini soapbars Preamp - Bartolini TC4 String spacing is 17.5mm at the bridge and 46mm across at the nut. Condition overall is good for an instrument of this age. Just a few minor blemishes, mainly above the pups and a little on the back. You have to hold the bass at an angle to the light to see them. Note, there is slight crackle on the balance pot when turning from the middle position towards the bridge pickup. My weight scales are bust at present, but this is one of the lightest basses I have ever played; I would be stunned if it was over 8.5Ibs. Comes with hard case. Open to trades for 5 string.
  11. Selling this as looking to downsize. Update - series 1, not 2 as first thought. By far, the best cab I have used over the years, evidenced by the fact that I have owned it for at least 5 years. Condition is pretty good overall; corners are good and front grill is dent-free. Cloth cover is a bit bobbly, but nothing out of keeping with a cab of this age. looking for either cash sale for which I would accept £350 or would consider trade for a good quality 1x12 (possibly 2x12 depending on the weight and dimensions).

  12. Thanks. Any suggestions for replacements because the size appears to be particularly small (~100mm x 32mm) for a 5 string?
  13. I have a pedulla thunderbolt 5 which is ergonomically perfect for me. However, whilst the bartolini BC pickups and TC4 preamp combo give fantastic tight low end and mid it is a bit light in the upper register. I have read around on t'internet and haven't found a definitive answer to which to change first to get the top end I'm after; pickups or preamp?
  14. Reduced price for ltd time (cash sale only) as there is something else I'm interested in.
