They have this new one: -
Dodgy deal via Gumtree? PayPal protection??

It's even worse in OP's case, since he isn't organizing the courier and so won't have access to proof of delivery or even proof of postage. -
MXR M81 is good quality and small. Around £100 used. Parametric mids. Depends on your requirements, as there's no overdrive - it's very clean.
-
Do you mean you will ultimately use them for FOH, when you've moved to in-ears? I think that might change things just because the best speaker for backline/monitoring might be different from the best FOH speaker. E.g. in my band we have QSC K8 for FOH which seem to work well - but I wouldn't want to use that as a monitor. NB we have subs too with those.

I'm playing upright and five-string bass guitar. I had HD10 and for me it was enough most of the time... but I felt I was sometimes getting to its limits. Then I bought a second HD10 and that was really good... but I didn't like carrying around and setting up two things instead of one. So I now have a 732A and very happy.
-
I'm also interested - we should have a shootout one day.

An RCF 732A is a bit like a Fearless F112 with a built-in power amp. They are £760. My 5-string sounds great through it and has enough volume to overpower a drummer. If that's not loud enough, there are more powerful models: 735A (£780) or 745A (over budget at £1150). Anyway we still need to know the dimensions of your car's boot
-
Is the problem that it sometimes sounds boomy, or that you cannot hear yourself very well?
-
Since you already have a Helix, I don't see what the Ampeg brings -- sell it I gig with an RCF 1x12 and it's really loud. A more compact 1x12 is the QSC CP12 although I haven't tried it myself (but I've used other QSC speakers and they're good). I'm really happy with modelling and I sold all my aforementioned Barefaced cabs and amp last year.
-
I've too owned a Barefaced One10, used with a 900W amp (500W into 8ohm) and it is very loud, including no compromise on the low end. If small form and light weight is high on your priority, I wouldn't rule it out. Then again with your less-powerful 350W head (putting 200W into 8ohm), that might make a difference. It's hard to say objectively and for definite. If you email Barefaced, they give advice for your individual situation, and offer a one-month trial system.
-
To give the best advice, I think we need to know: the band line-up and musical style you said you don't need loads of stage volume - do you have PA support, or do you still need your backline to fill the room? if you need to fill the room, what venues are you playing (pub, concert hall, wedding marquee)
-
Which bass? E.g. if it has a floating bridge and a tailpiece, you might need longer strings to accommodate the extra distance behind the bridge.
-
Yes, the level control affects the DI level. Stomping it off doesn't cut the DI signal; it just bypasses all the processing.
-
Bass → effects pedals → BDDI. Then: BDDI XLR → FOH; BDDI 1/4" → GK → Bergs. Set up the BDDI with your preferred eq & tube drive for FOH. Use the GK's controls to tweak the on-stage sound without affecting FOH.

I also still own a B1on, and the B1 Four interface is easier to use and with a clearer display and lights. The B1on is an older chipset, I think. I've not used a B3n but I think it and the B1 Four share the most-recent processor. The B3n has more buttons but it is larger. The list of effects of the B1 Four is here: https://www.zoom-na.com/sites/default/files/products/downloads/pdfs/E_B1FOUR_FX-list_1.pdf -

Update: Now sold Zoom's newest bass pedal - you can read about it on this thread: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/337340-zoom-b1-four/ I bought it new in May but have decided to stick with my MS-60B - which isn't the latest, and has fewer functions, but it is smaller. £50 collected from London W4 (Gunnersbury) or N12 (Woodside Park), or add £5 for UK postage. No batteries included. Very small light scuff on the base where velcro was attached.

IEM's - to Amp or not to Amp - thats my Question
jrixn1 replied to Swijn's topic in Accessories and Misc
This. Pedal pre-amp to DI. -
Is it a wolf tone? My bass developed one in the same place as you, but I found a wolf tone eliminator helped a lot. It's a small metal mass which screws onto the afterlength to counter the resonance.
-
I never felt comfortable in general stringing flats through the body, on any bass. The bend angle seems too great for how rigid the strings are.
-
Can you go in with the string straight - under the saddle. Then manoeuvre the string to be on top of the saddle once it's in.
-
I think there's only one gauge available - mine are 45-125.
-
I have Dunlop flats on my BB735A and didn't have this problem. I'm away right now without the bass, but I can have a closer look later in the week.
-
I think it depends exactly what you're looking to get from your LPF in the first place, and a cab sim isn't the same as a LPF - but it might serve a similar purpose , namely rolling off the highs. The new Zoom B1 Four does have a specifc LPF effect (called "High EQ") which I don't think was in the older units - although I haven't tried it myself. I'm not sure which cab sim is the best - I cycled through them and ended up with the Bassman 4x12.

Actually I'm a bit confused now... PM1 manual says "Signals should be sent from a stereo headphone amplifier to the PM1. Note that the PM1 XLR input is not meant for balanced line signals." But is our desk indeed sending a balanced line signal? Mackie manual: "These 14 male XLR connectors provide balanced line-level signals" In which case, what am I hearing... is one of my ears out-of-phase?
