    With a Bb, is that Edim or Eø ?
  2. jrixn1
    Actually there's no need to - if you don't plug in any patch cables, it has internal wiring which does that for you.

    ^^ This, but use "A -> B -> BYPASS" mode. This will cycle between the three basses.

    For me, the weight was an important factor. Barefaced have spoiled me in that regard! Perhaps it's a funny way to do it, but my approach was... went to Thomann "Active Full-Range Loudspeakers" section filtered out anything over 12kg selected only 1x12" and 1x10" ordered by price (high to low) Then I (more or less) decided to get the first one from any manufacturer I'd actually heard of. Here is a link if you want to play along: https://www.thomann.de/gb/active_loudspeakers_fr.html?oa=prd&filter=true&feature-50669%5B%5D=1x%2012%22&feature-50669%5B%5D=1x%2010%22&feature-50599-first=1.5&feature-50599-last=12 This ended up being the RCF HD 10-A, at £411. (Although I subsequently found it cheaper at gear4music.) Would a Syrincs S3A (£555) or FBT EVO2Maxx 2 AC (£459) have been any better? (Never heard of either of them.)

    Just to clarify - my starting point is that I was already happily using just a single One10. This 10" + 1" RCF definitely won't replace a larger rig! The redundancy of having two RCFs is a good consideration i.e. built-in contingency in case one of them fails. I am going straight from the Zoom MS-60B into the RCF, which has a selector for line level or mic level. The Zoom is outputting at instrument level (i.e. the same volume whether I use the Zoom or bypass it) - so I have the RCF set on mic level. Should I increase the output level of my Zoom patches and use the RCF's line level setting? My feeling is that it doesn't matter either way - but let me know if that's wrong. The larger 12" RCF is an option - and I also considered a QSC 10.2 (just as @Bridgehouse did in the "Interesting FRFR story" thread) - but both those alternatives are heavier and more expensive. I'm sure the QSC are better and louder than the RCF, so I think it's the age-old problem of balancing weight, cost, and performance. And yes, apologies for killing rock'n'roll - guilty as charged

    @Pea Turgh The RCF marketing says "800 watt 2-way peak power" but it's not comparing like-for-like. One of these RCFs could not replace two One10s. @Lozz196 Yes, I'm mainly playing functions/weddings with full PA, so I only need to worry about my personal on-stage sound. Tone-shaping and HPF is from a pedal. @largo This is true. For me, one RCF or one One10 will be fine for 90% of my gigs. But for the other 10% - I'm not sure now whether to get a second RCF or stick with two One10s (I have two already). Ultimately, I think I'd rather just have one system (either RCF or Barefaced - but not both), as I know from previous experience that having two overlapping systems I end up wasting lots of time debating with myself which one is "better" - a completely pointless inner monologue, but I can't turn it off. But if I only have one system, there is no decision to be made, and I can move on with my life! Dunno if that makes any sense to anyone!

    Following on from the "Interesting FRFR story" thread - https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/315455-interesting-frfr-story/ - I bought an RCF "HD 10-A MK4" powered speaker, which was £350 from gear4music. For my needs at least (i.e. completely subjective), having gigged it now, my current feeling is that this could take the place of my Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2 + Barefaced One10. There was no sacrifice in volume or tone. The lowest notes were deep and full. The volume was on 50%, although it's hard to know how much more it had in reserve (maybe loads, or maybe I was right at its usable limit - no idea). I'm normally running my Shuttle at 50% - 75%. It was easier to set up and tear down - um, not that a head and one cab is that hard - but it was even easier. When you're done, you just pick it up and go... It weighs 12kg. The One10 & Shuttle & angled stand is 11.6kg. I've only done one gig but it was pretty representative of the gigs I tend to do. I can report back if there are any developments at subsequent gigs. http://www.rcf.it/en_US/professional-speaker-systems/d-line/hd-10-a-mk4

    Perhaps you already tried, but would switch cleaner help with the scratchy pot? The one I have is Servisol Super 10. Here is the L2000 wiring: https://www.bassesbyleo.com/images/g&l_tech/l-2000/l2k_wiring_diagram.pdf The pots are these ones: https://g-l-online-store.myshopify.com/products/split-shaft-potentiometer-tribute-series-bass i.e. two 250k audio taper and one 1M reverse audio taper. But I found the 1M reverse impossible to source in Europe! I looked everywhere...

    Noticed a used set for sale here: https://www.gumtree.com/p/double-bass/cordes-lambert-double-bass-strings/1281594921
  12. jrixn1
    Not available yet, but listed price is £238 (four-string) or £303 (five-string). I can feel my wallet twitching despite knowing I don't get on with jazz basses! https://www.thomann.de/gb/marcus_miller_v3_5_ma.htm

    Dunno if there is more than one carrying technique - but for me at least, a good handle on the left-hand side is essential. I don't understand how I would carry a bass without one! Having a couple of front handles is really useful for manoeuvring the bass into a vehicle.
  14. jrixn1
    What solution are you going for in the end? If you can't find the rack ears, perhaps a clamp shelf might work?
  15. jrixn1
    Sorry - I didn't mean that the existence of the iReal Pro app lowers the usefulness of your charts, by any means. The context I meant was that it's another option to be aware of in the wider conversation of having a library of chord charts. For songs I don't know, I probably use hand-written charts for 90% and iReal Pro only for the remaining 10% - mostly for songs which are sprung on me just before (or during) a gig. Myself, I prefer to write out my own charts, as the act of transcription itself helps to learn the song. Having listened to the song carefully a couple of times and written out the chart, I often find I now no longer need it! Happy to share if anyone is looking for function/soul/Motown -style tunes.

    As dand666 points out above, check out the "iReal Pro" app. Once installed, you search and download whatever songs you are interested in from the iReal Pro forum, https://irealb.com/forums/ (Originally, the app had the songs built in; but the system was changed after a legal copyright claim was made against the app developer.) Example: suppose you playing a Beatles set - download the charts from: https://www.irealb.com/forums/showthread.php?1188-The-Beatles The app can transpose, display as Nashville number system, or even as guitar tabs. You can edit existing charts and create your own. You can play along with the app as it has a backing track function.

    For sale: £240 (NOW SOLD) Novation Bass Station II in great condition The sale includes: power supply soft case UK postage Manufacturer's description: "Nothing out there sounds this warm, fat and dirty. Bass Station II is our pure analogue monosynth. We based it on our classic Bass Station, then enhanced every area to make it even bigger, angrier and more versatile. "It has two tuneable oscillators, a sub-oscillator for enormous bass, plus noise and ring modulation. It also gives you two distinct analogue filter types: the classic multi-mode filter and a new acid filter, for a massive variation in sonic possibilities" Official website: http://global.novationmusic.com/synths/bass-station-ii More photos here: https://imgur.com/a/MJbtD

    You can use Google to search basschat (or any website). Limit the search to only basschat pages by adding "site:basschat.co.uk" to your search terms.

    Bumping this old thread! I'm about to pull the trigger on a Feather Micro Coil, to use on quieter gigs (where I hope feedback will not be a problem). https://www.myerspickups.com/products/the-feather-mirco-coil-pickup-system Anyone tried one?
  24. jrixn1
    Could you use the "AUX IN" of the Streamliner, instead of the effects loop? I think it should sum the aux signal with the main (front) input stage.

    Nate Mendel Precision bass Price: £625 Edit: this is now sold No trades, thanks. This is a really great Precision, based on Nate Mendel's 1971 bass. Light road-worn lacquer finish Slim neck width (1.615") with "C" profile Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound pickup Fender high-mass bridge Fender's website: https://shop.fender.com/en-GB/electric-basses/precision-bass/nate-mendel-p-bass/0142500309.html I have priced this slightly lower due to the following: The D-string tuning machine is very slightly bent; i.e. it is not exactly at 90 degrees as it should be. It doesn't affect the ability to string the bass, tune the bass, or to hold the tuning. It is only very slight - please see photos. There is a small ding on the back of the neck, around the 12th fret area. It is on the lower half (about three quarters of the way down) - I suppose it depends on each player's technique, but my thumb doesn't touch this area during normal playing. Again, please see photos. Neither of the above ever bothered me, but it's only fair to disclose! Digital kitchen scales give 4.15kg (9lb 2oz). Comes with a padded Fender gig bag. The bass has Schaller straplock buttons installed as standard - I'll throw in a couple of end pins. I can post this in the UK for £20. Or possible collection from south-west (Wimbledon) or west (Chiswick) London. I also travel around the south-east UK for gigs - send a PM to discuss. More photos here: https://imgur.com/a/PY01b
