    How different people choose to upgrade their instruments could be an interesting topic, but your posts are against the spirit of a forum, which is to discuss and share ideas and information openly. You use it only a place to spam your YouTube channel.

    Send @KiOgon a message. Highly recommended by many basschatters. He will make you a quality loom. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/334251-bass-wiring-looms-for-sale/iO

    Well, even with acoustic uprights, 3/4 is the usual size for adults. 4/4 is super jumbo size. I'm not sure what the advantage/point of 4/4 is, and not sure if anyone even makes a 4/4 EUB.

    You can try Ubuntu without actually having to install anything, by booting from a DVD or memory stick: https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/try-ubuntu-before-you-install

    I'll send you a private message.

    Hi, yes, still for sale.
  7. jrixn1
    One thing to bear in mind is if you need to return it (either because it's faulty or you just change your mind), it sounds like a real headache, unclear process, lots of forms to fill in.

    I suppose OG is more like slang than an official abbreviation. I knew what you mean though. Anyway good luck with this lovely bass!

    4.6kg is definitely at the higher end, but your bog-standard Elwood 5 is about 4.25kg. You pay extra for the chambered ones (I think those are called "Elwood L".) Have a browse at https://www.public-peace.de/bass-guitars/maruszczyk/elwood/5-string

    @Helen SWhat make/model bass is he currently learning on, and does he like it or not?

    Looks like it's from the current line of Classic Vibe 70s P bass, which are lovely necks!

    In that case I'd get a powered speaker and take a feed from the desk. Then you'll be able to hear not just yourself, but also the lead guitarist. If there was no sound person at a gig, you could do your suggestion of just plugging the second output of the Helix directly into the powered speaker. The same direct setup will work for home practice too.

    Can I check what you mean when you say "FRFR"? Because a BB2 and a clean head is full-range and flat-response. Do you mean "a powered speaker"? In which case yes, I do think my RCF 732A is as good as - if not better than - my BB2 setup. They both sound really good: loud, clear, etc - all the usual properties one desires. BB2 weighs less though, clear winner. With my BB2, I used a Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2. It seems pretty flat and uncoloured with the drive turned down, and EQ controls at noon. I didn't do any scientific tests.

    Where is the signal to the drummer's monitor coming from? Is everyone already going into a mixing desk?

    I thought I should correct my previous post. I actually don't know how similar the 310-A and HD 10-A are, other than nominally they are powered speakers with 10" woofer and compression driver. The specs do look similar-ish at a glance, but reading a bit more through the RCF website, one difference is the voice coil diameter and crossover frequency, and so I assume other corresponding internal bits too. I am too layman to be able to suggest what differences they might make to the end user experience. 310-A mk3: 2.5", 1800Hz, £230 310-A mk4: 1.5", 1800Hz, £260 710-A mk4: 1.75", 1600Hz, £300 HD 10-A mk4: 2.0", 2000Hz, £395

    Here are the photos showing a small ding on the lower horn, and another near the side jack socket.

    Sandberg California II Superlight TT5 Original asking price £1050; now £925. Sale only; no trades. Update 23rd Aug: Now sold Bought new by me in August 2019. Bass is in Bristol if you want to collect, or I can possibly deliver, or meet you halfway, or can post in a Hiscox hard case. This Superlight weighs only 3.3kg, or 7lb 3oz. It balances nicely as the neck is also made from a lighter wood, as well as the body. It was originally active but converted to passive with a KiOgon loom, with series mode push/pull on the tone knob; good range from bright to dark. The original side-mount jack socket is disconnected. The cedar body is softer and there are some imperfections but they're not that visible unless you go looking for them, and quite hard to photograph. Couple of small dings on the edge (see photos). Details of bass: Made in Germany. Weight: 3.3kg Body: cedar, tobacco sunburst. Neck: maple Fingerboard: pau ferro, 14" radius Nut width: 45mm Scale: 34" Pickups: Sandberg Controls: neck volume, bridge volume, passive tone (push/pull for series mode) Includes a Sandberg gig bag (very good condition), or a Hiscox hard case (used condition).

    Update 29th March: bass is on hold, pending payment. Sandberg California II VM5 Bought new by me in November 2020. I live in Bristol, but the bass is currently on commission sale at the Bass Gallery in north London. I am happy to retrieve it from them for a direct sale to a basschatter, but it will take a couple of days to organize the logistics. Sorry, no postage. I can deliver or meet halfway within reach of the M4 corridor. Details of bass: Made in Germany. Weight: 3.9kg Body: ash, tobacco sunburst highgloss Neck: maple Fingerboard: pau ferro, 14" radius Nut width: 45mm Scale: 34" Pickups: Sandberg Controls: volume (push/pull for active/passive), balance, treble (tone in passive mode), bass. Includes the Sandberg gig bag, and I'll also throw in a spare tort pickguard.

    RCF HD 10-A mk4, £390, 12kg. Full range and flat response, so you'll be able to monitor accurately what you're sending to FOH. Use either as a floor wedge in front of you, or stand it upright behind you.

    I like mine a lot. It's sturdy and easy to use. I've not used a Pork Loin or TLC compressor, so can't compare. Here is what I previously wrote, to save retyping it out: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/336308-ebs-micro-bass-3/?do=findComment&comment=3796889 https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/419763-ebs-microbass-3/?do=findComment&comment=4083961

    For anyone with SL gas, I have a 5-string TT SL for sale at Bass Gallery. Their price includes their 15% commission, but if you're anywhere in the south of England/Wales, message me to chat about it and I can go and retrieve it from them for a direct sale. Same for you're interested in the VM5 of mine they have.

    In terms of simplest thing which will work, would the following do? Plug the audio output of the computer (or whatever the backing track is on), the bass, and your headphones into the mixer, and get a mix. Then plug the mixer output into the phone mic input. Record the video on the phone.
  23. jrixn1
    Yes, definitely. I gigged with an RCF HD 10-A for a while, which is very similar to the RCF 310-A mk4. I once got away with playing to room of 200, where I'd brought it to use as a stage monitor but we had an unexpected FOH PA non-existence scenario. It did really well although you could tell it was getting close to its maximum ability. I don't know the difference between HD 10-A, 310-A mk4, and 310-A mk3.

    It's only the fundamental which is 31Hz, which isn't that important. The overall sound of the B string (or any instrument which isn't a sine wave) is a combination of many different frequencies, most of which can be reproduced by your speaker. "The missing fundamental phenomenon is used electronically by some pro audio manufacturers to allow sound systems to seem to produce notes that are lower in pitch than they are capable of reproducing" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_fundamental
