As well as Sandberg's Superlight line, which are guaranteed to be light, sometimes you will find a non-Superlight which is still very light; e.g. https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Sandberg_VS4_FR_SCA.html is 3.3kg. Sandberg's P bass models are the 'VS, 'VM', and 'VT'. Some Maruszczyks are also very light; e.g. https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/MARUSZCZYK_Jake_4p_PJ_Vintage_White.html also 3.3kg, but as with Sandberg there are some heavier ones as well, so get an accurate weight (if buying a bass which already exists) or order a custom build. Their P bass model is called the 'Jake'. Neither the Sandberg TT5 (3.3kg) nor the Maruszczyk Jake 4 (3.2kg) I own/owned have neck dive.

Ok, just sounds odd , as the local recording quality shouldn't be affected by a poor internet connection (only that the file will take longer to send). Has he got a decent mic/headset setup?

Isn't the point of Zencastr exactly that; i.e. it automatically records each person locally and then sends you all the files?

Here I am 😁 Have a look at something like an RCF 710-A, which is small, loud, and about £325. It's a powered speaker i.e. it has a built-in power amp. You can perhaps think of it as a neutral sonic canvas, able to supply all the lows and highs you'd need. Then add a preamp pedal of your choice to provide any desired colour for the specific music style. Myself I use headphones at home; but on the gig I prefer using powered speakers to my previous Barefaced rig, and as a nice bonus it saves some money too.

If you want to buy from a store, I see they have three currently at Bass Direct: https://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Fender_Precision_CIJ_Black.html https://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Fender_Precision_CIJ_CAR.html https://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Fender_Precision_CIJ_2_TSB.html It will arrive within a couple of days, and if you change your mind for whatever reason you can send it back within seven days for a refund.

It's not the most efficient setup, as 2/3 of the power will go to the 1x15, and just 1/6 to each of the 2x10s. https://www.speakerimpedance.co.uk/?act=three_series_parallel2&page=calculator Are two 2x10 powered by 63W each going to be much louder than one 2x10 powered by 200W? If not, you might as well just leave the second 2x10 at home. What is the problem with the 4x10? E.g. not loud enough, too heavy, ...?

Yes, and then on top of that +3dB I think you get up to another +3dB from mutual coupling (assuming you stack the cabs and point them both in the same direction).

dB is a logarithmic scale. Doubling (2) the power = 10 x log(2) = 3dB Halving (0.5) the power = 10 x log(0.5) = -3dB.

Halving the power (into one cab) would be -3dB. In your case, it's slightly less, as you're going from 600W per cab to ~250W per cab; so perhaps -4dB. Stacking twice the number of identical cabs is +6dB. So overall, your two-cab system will be +2dB louder, which is a bit louder but not "twice as loud".

I think they maybe actually got the bridge pickup position right this time round? As for QC... I have one of the current CV 70s Precision and it's really nice, comfortable to play, I really like it a lot and definitely hanging onto it. I also had one of the current CV 60s Jazz fretless, and the fret markers were working their way out of the neck to the point of choking the strings... So it seems to vary.

It shows bass going down to C, which is I think where an orchestral double bass often/usually goes down to. The guitar is also a transposing instrument. The low E string on a normal bass guitar is one octave below the low E string on a normal guitar.

You're expressing quite a simple concept but in a very complicated way. Why not just say: vi = Am7 = use notes from the C major scale iii = Em7 = use notes from the C major scale ii = Dm7 = use notes from the C major scale V = G7 = use notes from the C major scale I = Cmaj = use notes from the C major scale ?

Maybe check that the Microbass's ground lift is not engaged, because removing the ground also disables phantom power as they are the same circuit (I think in general, not just on the Microbass)

Wait, where is the second volume knob on a Stomp? This was one reason I didn't get one. Did I miss something?

This is interesting though, particularly from around 0m25s: Composed 45 years before Joplin was born.

My RCF 732-A (a £600 powered PA speaker) is better than and cost half as much as the Barefaced & Genz Benz rig it replaced 😊

You could get an XR12 for £260; then use your iPhone to fiddle with each channel's eq to your heart's content. (Also it's a 12-track digital mixer! Replace whatever your current one is?)

H4n?

Perhaps I have misunderstood the situation - but why not get a second BG250-210 as a backup? It will be about half the price of an 800W head, and (as I'm sure you know) it will weigh about half as much as the Peavey 410TX. Or if you mean you occasionally need a louder setup - you could use both BG250s at the same time.
