    Most of these will fit: https://barefacedaudio.com/collections/10cr-bass-cabs https://barefacedaudio.com/collections/12xn-bass-cabs https://www.lfsys.co.uk/bassguitarproducts What are your other criteria (cost, loudness, weight)?

    Hi, the weight's a real selling point but could you clarify how you measured it? https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2020/01/25/gr-bass-unveils-the-aerotech-featherweight-bass-cabinet-series/ says 28.5lbs (13kg). Thanks.

    How about a send/return/power patch box on the primary board e.g. https://goodwoodaudio.com/products/audition?variant=32441404751919 or https://brightonion.co.uk/products/dyo-3-gang-patchbox-side-sockets Connect the secondary board in the loop on the larger gigs.

    Checking my emails - Parcelforce was £13.30 uninsured, and Overland Express was £45 with £750 insurance. I've used Secursus in the past, but not sure I'd use them now. Has anyone made a successful claim? See https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/270188/secursus-insurance-not-valid , linked from https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/498649-secursus-insurance-not-actually-covered-without-certificate-of-sale-physical-signatures/ "They finally confirmed that for their insurance for individuals to be valid they need to give prior approval in writing, they also require evidence of payment for the item, and they need a certificate of sale"

    I'm very happy to start a feedback thread for Seadunk. I sold him a bass, he was very patient with me while I sorted some stuff out at my end, and we had great, friendly communication throughout. Top basschatter!

    +1 on this. I'd previously tried a Digitech The Drop and a EHX Pitch Fork but wasn't happy gigging with them. However the Simple Pitch in the HX One worked for me on gigs. You can set up multiple presets for different amounts of detuning.

    I'm not sure of the impedance of my K&K Bass Max pickup since the only thing the manual says is "high ohmic". It is a piezo though. Do I get a decent bass tone? Well, I'm doing my best... 😬 My larger rig is an EBS Stanley Clarke preamp and a QSC CP12 or RCF 745A - nevertheless I choose to use the Micromark when possible - so I think that's your answer.

    I have other, larger, more complicated gear for loud functions or when I'm doubling - but for jazz in pubs I really recommend a Markbass Micromark 801. I plug my bass straight in - no preamp, EQ, HPF, etc. https://www.markbass.it/product/micromark-801/

    I bought some items from Rich - thanks for a pleasant transaction and quick posting!

    Does this help, from https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/402727-class-d-power-amps/?do=findComment&comment=4005551 ?

    Another option is to leave out one control; e.g. the G&L SB-2 is a production PJ with no tone knob. Or you can have a blend and tone but no volume, which is what I have in my PJ bitsa. You could also have a push-pull knob - so setup like a P bass but then pulling the tone knob adds in the J pickup on full volume. It's a good chance to think about how you use the bass in real life and get something to suit. BTW if you don't want to do your own electronics, you can buy standard or custom looms from basschatter KiOgon.

    Thomann has a filter for number of inputs. Here's the link for three or more: https://www.thomann.co.uk/cat_GK_palpaf.html?feature-67566-first=3&oa=prd The Yamaha DXR and QSC K series are good.

    Joyo ZGP? I've not used one myself but read about them here previously.

    Yes, you can run a daisy chain from one (or more) of the outputs of your ISO-1AC Pro, as long as each chain doesn't exceed the output's max current (in this case, 500mA). So before buying the ISO-10AC Pro, it's worth trying something like this https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Truetone-5-Channel-Daisy-Chain-for-1-Spot/1V42 There may be some experimentation with which pedals work best together on a chain.
  17. jrixn1
    More info is needed: what are the individual and total current requirements of your pedals; do you need any/all of the outputs to be isolated; and do you mean you need 8-10 physical outputs, or is daisy-chaining from fewer ok? But I suspect nothing will be cheaper than the Harley Benton PowerPlant ISO-1AC Pro at £59 delivered. Is it very important how much of the total cost is the product and how much is the postage?
  18. jrixn1
    Ah ok I see. Origin offer multiple similar products, particularly if you include the recently discontinued models - thanks for the clarifications.
  19. jrixn1
    Is it for bassists though? https://origineffects.com/product/cali76-fet-compressor/ says “Optimised for guitar”. It’s a different model https://origineffects.com/product/cali76-bass-compressor/ which is for bassists.

    What about if you arrange/contract the courier, absolving the seller of any complications (whether real or perceived)?

    It is surely this bass, which says "Withdrawn Again - off to be fretted". https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/461852-withdrawn-again-off-to-be-frettedmaruszczyk-elwood-fretless-5p-new-price-%C2%A3850/

    One approach is to buy a complete bass and then sell the neck on. Apparently the poplar-bodied Squier Sonic precisions are lightweight. E.g. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/497371-nbd-squier-sonic-p/ Or perhaps https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/176592471436 which says 3.7kg. Ultralites will further reduce the weight by about 150g and improve the overall balance which is important with light bodies - https://btnmusic.co.uk/products/hipshot-licensed-hb6-ultralite-bass-machine-heads?variant=47499564253508

    If you like the neck, put together a bass around it rather than get a completely different bass which might not have as nice a neck. Here is my bass. The neck is lovely to play and is from a Classic Vibe Late 60s jazz. The body is from a Vintage Modified PJ; it's agathis and is particularly light. With Hipshot Ultralites the complete bass is 3.1kg and balances fine.

    Yamaha BB435 £350 collected from Bristol. I'll be in Nottingham, London, and Brighton over the next few weeks so could hand over in those cities, or somewhere on the route from Bristol. UK postage at £20 possible if you can wait for me to obtain a suitable box. Great five-string bass. I'd made a commitment to four-string basses a while back - but this BB435 was the one which tempted me back. However, gigging it recently has also confirmed that four-strings really are the way for me; hence this one is up for sale. In good condition with one small ding and a few scratches on the body. Back of the neck is unblemished. Weighs 4.3kg (9lb 8oz) on my digital kitchen scales.
