Have you seen this?

I saw Andy Baxter has a few alder-body Sandbergs in under 8lb: Weight: 7 lbs 9 oz / 3.43 kg https://www.andybaxterbass.com/collections/sandberg/products/new-sandberg-california-ii-vt4-soft-aged-tobacco-sunburst Weight: 7 lbs 10.5 oz / 3.48 kg https://www.andybaxterbass.com/collections/sandberg/products/new-sandberg-california-ii-vs4-high-gloss-marley-blue Weight: 7 lbs 10 oz / 3.45 kg https://www.andybaxterbass.com/collections/sandberg/products/new-sandberg-california-ii-vs-soft-aged-virgin-white

Sold a gig bag to George. Nice guy and really easy transaction - thanks! 👍

You originally wrote that the gain was "hardly on" but subsequently said that it's at 11 o'clock - which is it? 11 o'clock is about 40% way round on that pot, so it's not unreasonable. My P bass peaks at 2 o'clock with the eq flat - but I do often slightly boost some low mids, so my gain is usually at 1 o'clock. You also said "the gain is so low that I’m actually missing something from my tone". The 'peak' light is pretty objective though for setting the correct level. How is the tone of your basses through the EBS if you remove all other pedals from the chain (before, after, and in the effects loop)? I agree that the peak light is independent of anything that comes after it, including the effects loop. One thing to say though is that the effects loop has the option of series or parallel. I think parallel mode will affect the gain structure (even if the pedals in the loop are bypassed), since it's summing two signals. So in that case, the EBS input gain would need reducing.

Where do you have to turn the gain knob to get the 'peak' LED (the non-post one, by the gain knob) to light up? For me with a P bass, it's around 2 o'clock. Then with all EQ at noon, the filter off, and nothing in the effects loop, the 'peak' and 'post peak' lights should light up in sync (either both on, or both off), since the level is the same at both points. With flat eq, if the 'post peak' is on but the 'peak' isn't... is there something cranked in your effects loop?

The first thing I'd look at is the pickup height. It will be less hot if it's lowered (which will also change the tone). If you're happy with the pickup height, how are things if you just turn the volume down on the bass? If you prefer to run the volume on full, something like this could work: https://www.ehx.com/products/signal-pad/ (It's the same thing as a volume control on the instrument, but in a pedal.)

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

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.
