    I use https://www.bitsbox.co.uk/ Also http://www.wdmusic.co.uk - they can advise which of their knobs which fit which of their pots.

    I attended a swing dance event with a quartet who had no bass player -- instead, the pianist was using his left hand. (They weren't very good.) Someone I was chatting to remarked that the rhythm section didn't quite seem to sound right -- but that he couldn't put his finger on technically exactly what the problem was...

    I think you can change the flow to R->L in the global menu.

Updated 1st March: This is now SOLD The manufacturer's site is here: http://www.genzbenz.com/?fa=detail&mid=2824&sid=715&cid=95 This is a great, powerful amp.

Included in the price of the amp is the box, manual, the original feet, and postage.

    For sale: two Barefaced One10 speaker cabs at £300 each. UPDATE 30th Jan: both now sold The manufacturer's site is here: https://barefacedbass.com/product-range/one10.htm , but the key features are: LOUD small: 38cm x 29cm x 28cm light: 7kg I have two available, both in very good condition. There are a couple of really very minor scuffs. Included in the £300 price is your choice of: either a branded Roqsolid slip cover or a World Rhythm cajon case which the One10 fits nicely into, leaving a spare 12cm x 30cm x 30cm at one end - perfect for a typical class D head, or some cables etc. I can also throw in, if wanted, an angled stand. The cab(s) are available to collect from me in south-west London (near Wimbledon), or I could possibly drive a short distance to meet up. I also have plans to be in Salisbury and Brighton over the next few weeks, if that helps. I have one suitable box, so I could post one of the cabs at cost (£20). I could potentially source a second box, but would do this by request rather than pre-emptively. (N.B. the angled stand doesn't fit in the box, so I can't post that.) There is a set of 11 photos here: https://imgur.com/a/3M8KD My marketplace feedback: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/159971-jrixn1/ Happy to answer any questions or take additional specific photos.

    I'm located in London - mostly in either Wimbledon or Chiswick. If you can't quite get there, I could possibly drive a short distance to meet. Also, I'll be in Salisbury and Brighton over the next couple of weeks. Send me a private message for details.

    Still available - and I can post this now.

    Electro-Harmonix Pitch Fork £95 including postage NOW SOLD Polyphonic Pitch Shifter This pedal is easy to use while still offering a lot of functionality. The controls are: Dials are: wet/dry blend and 11-position interval shift. Three-way toggle switch to choose octave up, octave down, or both. Small switch to choose operation mode: latch (each press of the foot switch toggles effect on/off) or momentary (effect is only on while foot switch is depressed). https://www.ehx.com/products/pitch-fork Includes manual, box, power supply.

    I'm only a recent convert to powered speakers - an RCF HD-10 which yes I use just for on-stage monitoring. See this thread - https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/317870-rcf-hd-10-vs-barefaced-one10/ I'm happy so far but I might wait till I've done a few more gigs with this system before selling off my previous traditional rig.
  15. jrixn1
    Perhaps you could buy one (or both) from somewhere like gear4music who give free 30-day returns - I believe they even cover the return postage. A cheaper alternative could be one of the Zoom multi-effects pedal, like the B1on, MS-60B, or B3. They don't have cab modelling as such, but the amp modelling includes a choice of cab simulation. Myself - I use a Zoom MS-60B into a powered speaker. And yes, I need a separate DI box to send to FOH.
  16. jrixn1
    Zoom Q2n has excellent audio and ok video. A similar alternative would be GoPro HERO5 Session - I believe bassist Janek Gwizdala is a fan. To go up a level of video quality, something like a second-hand Nikon D3200 (or any SLR/similar camera with a mic input) combined with an external mic like a Zoom H1. I think you could just about do this for £200.

    I bought a pedal from Bas and he packaged it up and sent it out very quickly indeed. Communication was very fast and friendly. Highly recommended!
  18. jrixn1
    Yes, still available.
  19. jrixn1
    Yes - perhaps I was a bit brazen, and yours is much better advice. I suppose the situation I have in mind is more if I know the song - in which case, I'd rather get out of the dots for a chorus and instead bond with the drummer, etc, than worry about having to read every single quarter note exactly as written. I played some charts where rhythm changes were written out in full for a dozen choruses...
  20. jrixn1
    Afraid I can't help with the specific request - but on the subject of big band charts, I never (or very rarely) saw one which had good written walking lines. So perhaps it's best to make up your own anyway. So as an example: I went to the above site and chose any old song - it happened to be Tangerine. So, given this chart, I would play the first two bars as written. Then for section A, ignore the written part and instead play my own walking line over the usual changes to Tangerine - apart from the last bar, where I play the G and C as written, as I'd guess that is syncopated with the rest of the band. Then from section B, go back to my own line. Etc.

    I happen to have one for sale currently in the marketplace... Conflict of interest prevents me unbiasedly singing its praises here!

    BTW here is Alain Caron playing a fretless acoustic bass: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cedD3u2l8l4 You know, I really like the tone - not as an imitation of an upright, but just for what it is. But that might not be the sound you are after. BTW, M. Caron is not playing an Aria FEB!
  23. jrixn1
    I had one for a while. They are not expensive. I really liked the acoustic sound - but you couldn't use that live. The sound through the pick-up was... ok, not bad by any means, but it didn't blow me away. Anyway, either way, it doesn't sound anything like an upright bass. But it has a nice sound of its own. Personally, if I wanted an "upright vibe" but could not use an actual upright, then I would play whatever your normal bass is, ideally with flats, with the tone rolled down, and either use foam under the bridge, or palm mute. I'm not sure that the fretlessness is that important - perhaps it depends on the style of music.
  24. jrixn1
    Dunno if this suggestion will fit in your situation - but I am using first a Boss LS-2 line selector to allow two physical inputs; then I go into a Zoom MS-60B pedal which provides tone shaping. I have two presets which I have set up for upright and bass guitar - you just stomp to change. So it's quite modular, keeping the tone shaping distinct from the amplification stage. That part might change between gigs - straight to FOH PA, to in-ears, to a stage monitor, to a traditional combo or head/cab set flat, or a combination of the above. So for example, I have been often using a Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2, which I quite like. It only has one channel, but that doesn't matter.
  25. jrixn1
    I found that with a passive switch (such as the above Fender ABY pedal) that it would sometimes make a 'pop' sound when switching instruments. I don't (fully) know the technical reasons, or perhaps I was doing something wrong. I've had more success with a Boss LS-2 which is buffered (and so requires a power supply). Switching is completely silent. Also, it has a volume knob per channel, allowing you to equalize the volumes of the two basses if they have different underlying output levels. I suppose the disadvantages are that it costs a bit more, and some people might argue that a buffered pedal can alter the tone.
