I just picked up an older-model RCF ART 735-A. I've previously owned a 732-A (1x12") and that was too loud... so I imagine this 735-A (1x15") is going to destroy everything 🤘 Size comparison with a QSC CP12:

This is covered in the forum rules: So the advice is to check sites like reverb, ebay, and basschat for similar current/previous listings. E.g. https://reverb.com/uk/item/81547069-squier-matt-freeman-signature-precision-bass-2012-2015-vintage-white https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/461107-sold-squier-matt-freeman-precision-bass-vintage-white/ One thing to bear in mind is that the asking price seen in adverts isn't necessarily the final sale price, as the seller might have accepted an offer.

They are both quoting Jimi Hendrix, Third Stone From The Sun. https://youtu.be/Zts332Y-nyg?t=42

The Mesa should already be pretty flat with all EQ at noon and the voicing set to "flat". You can nevertheless completely bypass the preamp by plugging your Headrush into the Mesa's Aux Input. See how that sounds before buying or selling anything.

The dep has the information and accepts the situation. I would not start getting worried on someone else's behalf - If they are unhappy, they can decline the gig or discuss directly with the band leader.

I don't understand... when you previously did gigs with this group, before the "£100 behind the bar" was ever mentioned, were you all doing the gig for no fee at all?

Another thumbs-up for one of KiOgon's solderless looms/control plates. The details are here: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/334251-bass-wiring-looms-for-sale/ You get your order in by sending him a private message: https://www.basschat.co.uk/messenger/compose/?to=7835. Particularly if your bass is not a standard Fender, chat everything through with him as he can accommodate different hole sizes or locations. I once posted him a non-standard control plate which had unusual hole sizes, and he drilled them out to the correct size and sent it back with the new loom installed.

From the manual:

I'd go with seller 'earlpilanz' on eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114490584526

Open the thread in a new tab?

I remember this thread recently which mentions the Harley Benton GPA-100 and the Jule Simone 500.

Worth noting that the Laney R210 is a 16ohm cab, which is unusual.

Do you want speaker cable or instrument cable (or both)? They look the same, but are different - you shouldn't use instrument cables to connect amps to speakers. In the UK I always get my cables from designacable; I'm not sure what the USA equivalent is, or what the conversion to AWG is - but the specs should be in these links: Speaker cable: designacable / van-damme Instrument cable: designacable / van-damme

Our swing orchestra has a few dates coming up: I'm at Manchester, Liverpool, and Bristol - our other bassist is doing the first three dates.

I reckon it's the body of your bass picking up the vocals and then feeding back through your own bass amp. Sweep your notch filter frequency until (hopefully) the feedback stops. Also try your variable high pass filter (on the Fishman, they call it 'low cut'). N.B. the knob controls the cut-off frequency, not the amount of cut. Turn the knob up until (hopefully) the feedback stops - even up to the max if needed. I sometimes HPF at 160Hz, which is the Fishman's max frequency. If your instrument now doesn't sound as full, you can still increase the 'bass' knob. Some people have had results by blocking their f-holes with foam. That might be worth a try, although for me this didn't make a difference. Is your bass positioned right in front of your amp? Can you try moving things about so that you're further from your amp, or at least slightly to the side of it; or elevate your amp considerably so that it's firing over the top of the body of your bass rather than straight into it? As well as your amp, is your bass also going through the PA? If not, is that something you can consider doing - this might allow you have a lower stage volume on your amp. A larger change to consider is the setup of your bass and playing style/technique. If you were to play unplugged, are you getting much acoustic volume? Or are you tickling the strings and relying on the amp to be heard? The higher the volume is on your amp, the more chance of feedback. It's going to vary for each player/instrument, but for me, a slightly higher string height and more robust (but not heavy-handed) pizz technique resulted in better tone and more volume, which meant lower volume needed on the amp.

How about wearing the gig bag upside down? It likely swaps one problem for another (the bass may now hit your calves instead of doorframes) but worth a try?

I tilt maybe 95% of the time and when I moved from a BB2 to an RCF 732-A I was 100% happy with the switch, including sound quality and bass response at high volumes, and dispersion. The trade-off as you say is that most things are heavier than a BB2, including the RCF. TBH I found a 732-A pointing straight at my face was too loud for use as a personal monitor and now use a smaller QSC CP12.

The manufacturer (Warwick) states "All basses are lightweight with max. 9.5 lbs (4.3 kg)." Seems like quite a claim, although I suppose I've no reason to doubt them. https://shop.warwick.de/en/instruments/electric-basses/sadowsky-metroexpress/21-fret-hybrid-pj-bass/22817/sadowsky-metroexpress-21-fret-hybrid-p/j-bass-morado-fingerboard-5-string I've previously emailed Thomann ([email protected]) to ask for the weight of a specific bass (not a Sadowsky), and they did weigh it for me.

250W seems underpowered for a 2x12". Nothing wrong technically as such, but it seems inefficient to be lugging around a large cab that you can't then make the most of. As for mixing cabs, it is indeterminate whether the MB115 will sound good in combination with your choice of 2x12". Instead of ending up with three pieces of gear, potentially none of which will go that well together, how about selling the MB115 and LM250 and picking up a more-powerful head which is better matched to the 2x12"? Or - buy a second MB115 (or 115MBP if you can find one - the discontinued powered extension). Having two combos also provides the backup you mentioned.

Yep, afraid it seems you have a bit missing.
