    In a completely different league to Norah Jones - but Tom Waits. Bassist is Jim Hughart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7UHd7NVegE

    Why do you need an amp at all if you already have RCF wedges?

    You're on to something here - I would at least initially try raising the existing single 8-ohm cab onto a milk crate etc. It could turn out to be the cheapest solution.

    As it happens, I was just reading up about these strings earlier today - I couldn't find any demo videos on YouTube though. I'd be interested what you think of them.

    Any string will be ok with a piezo pickup, since they work by detecting physical vibrations in the instrument (or in your case in particular the bridge). Magnetic pickups work, however, by detecting a change in the magnetic field, for which you need a string with a steel/nickel core. Which make/model tapewound is it?

    You say that, but I too own a BB and what I did was sell all my other basses and buy a second BB 😎

    Sold a bass to Ricky 4000. Good communication throughout and no problems. Hope you enjoy the bass!

    Whatever goes into the input comes out of the link, untouched. So if the input is at line level, the link will be at line level.

    I don't understand the setup. Is the RCF a stage monitor?

    There is a large thread here - https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/315455-interesting-frfr-story/ Myself, I use a SolidGoldFX Beta as a preamp and/or a Zoom MS-60B for eq, straight into an RCF, and I've never been happier. A small thing from a practical point of view - since the speaker's volume control is generally on the back panel, I find it useful to use a pedal with an output volume control.

    Here's the previous thread:

    We are a 9- to 11-piece with QSC PA which is 2 x K8 and 2 x KSub. The KSub have wheels so it's not so bad and you can use them as carts to push the rest of the gear around. The mixer is a Mackie digital wifi one. The bandleader mixes FOH with an iPad, and each individual musician does their own monitor mix with a phone or tablet. We have a few more QSC K for monitors, or use in-ears. I can't imagine it working very well without a digital desk. We have so many cables! We have a wheeled flightcase trunk just for XLR and power cables...

    Good introduction. A big band will (or should) also have a rhythm guitar, which adds to the driving rhythm; and there should be less emphasis on beats "2" and "4" than in that video -- all four beats should pulse equally. E.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tlc0s2ROPOY

    Two 8 ohm speakers in series is 16 ohm - so I think you mean parallel. Your power amp is 200W at 4ohm per channel - so let's say 120W at 8 ohm. Previously, each FOH speaker was getting their own channel, so 120W each. After your change, the two speakers will be sharing a single 200W channel, which is 100W each, which is less than before.

    Bump at £45 posted.

    Auralex BabyGRAMMA v2 isolation platform £30 collected from Southfields (London SW19), or £35 posted. Edit: sold https://www.auralex.com/product/babygramma/ The idea is that it goes under your speaker cab to isolate it from the floor. I found it helps particularly on boomy/hollow stages. I used it with my Barefaced cab, which I no longer own. The size is 15"x15". I don't have the original box.
  18. jrixn1
    It's a monster! You should try it out - perhaps during a sound check before the singer plugs in, or any other time when you can nab a free channel. Let us know what happens.

    Yes, an HD 10-A matches a Barefaced One10 (powered by 500W amp) - both in general volume, and quality of bass response. I play in a large function band which mostly has PA support and so use my rig just for monitoring, and found either setup can match a reasonable drummer. I ended up with two HD 10-A, for the occasional situation where I need to cover the room without PA support. (I also had two One10s for the same reason.) The HD 10-A are both up for sale if anyone's interested, as I decided to swap to using a single RCF 732A instead (but if so be quick, as also on eBay auction which happens to be finishing this afternoon).

    Seymour Duncan SPB-1 pickup Manufacturer's website: https://www.seymourduncan.com/pickup/vintage-p-bass N.B. the website shows a slightly different cover (with no logo). Mine look like this: https://www.thomann.de/gb/seymour_duncan_sspb1_vintage_pbass_pickup.htm £40 collected from Southfields SW19 (London), or £45 posted. Edit: sold A popular pickup choice for a vintage P sound. There is some light scuffing, which is hard to see in the photo (or in real life). Screws not included. Includes half the box, which is cracked. It will be packed well for postage.

    White PJ body £33 collected from Southfields SW19 (London), or £40 posted. Edit: now sold I don't know the brand or wood type. The pocket and holes are Fender sized; a Fender neck was previously attached. Includes the P pickup and bridge seen in the photo. There are many marks, bumps, scratches, and dirt - please examine photos. Weighs 2.55kg on my cheap electronic scales.

    J&D mini jazz bass £35 collected from Southfields SW19 (London), or £50 posted with the neck off. Edit: now sold https://www.musicstore.de/en_GB/GBP/Jack-Danny-Bass-guitar-JB-Mini-SBL-Sonic-Blue/art-BAS0007170-000 Short scale at 29". In overall good condition. Please note however that the electronics have been modified to have the pickups wired permanently in series - so, unlike a normal jazz bass, there is just one volume and one tone. There is correspondingly a hole where there originally was a third knob. The stock black pickup covers were changed to cream ones as in the photos. The pickups are standard full size, which is useful if you wanted to swap them out. It's strung with Fender 9050 flats. Comes with a Stagg gig bag of the correct size. Great weight at just 3.03kg on my cheap electronic scales.
  23. jrixn1
    Yes, I could for £65, but remember that a new one is just 88 EUR from Thomann. It wouldn't have tort though! Up to you, of course.

    Harley Benton PB-20 precision bass £40 collected from Southfields SW19 (London), or £55 posted with the neck off. Edit 9th Jan: withdrawn from sale https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hbp120bk_ebass.htm In fair condition. The top edge has been rubbed down (see photos), which is not that visible and (IMHO) makes it more comfortable to play. Volume and tone controls work fine, useable throughout their whole range. Upgraded with a tort pickguard. The top edge is slightly unaligned, and there is a screw missing because the hole does not line up (see photos). Strings supplied will be roundwounds (nearly new D'Addario EXL-170SL), not the flats in the photos. Good weight at 3.99kg on my cheap electronic scales. The balance is ok - not a problem with neck dive, but is not sublimely balanced like, say, a Maruszczyk.

    Harley Benton B-550FL fretless bass £75 collected from Southfields SW19 (London), or £90 posted with the neck off. Edit 7th Jan:SOLD https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_b_550fl_bk_progressive_series.htm Barely used, so in very good condition. Strings are upgraded to D'Addario EXL165. The neck has position dots where the frets would be. Good weight at just 3.98kg on my cheap electronic scales.
