[quote name='MoJo' timestamp='1468698985' post='3092785'] it's 120W struggled to be heard at a pub gig. The new ones are 500W [/quote] [quote name='Ed_S' timestamp='1468740937' post='3092928'] found out the 500W is peak (not RMS) [/quote] [quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1468826169' post='3093495'] Doubling the power is going to help [/quote] Since it is the same product from the same company, is it fair to reason that if their "500W" is more like what you and I would call 250W, then the original "120W" was more like 60W? So the power in the new version has quadrupled. I'm also quite curious about these, and perhaps I am trying to convince myself to get one!

I have one of these: http://www.thomann.de/gb/rockboard_power_lt_xl.htm It can supply power while it's recharging - so at gigs I tend to plug it in if there happens to be a convenient socket; but if there isn't, I don't. It has lights on it which indicate how much charge is left. No need to ever remove it from pedal board or open it up to extract batteries.

I've never done it myself, but apparently you can ask for a refund of VAT or Customs Duty on returned items: https://www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad/tax-and-duty

I have a negative comment about the pedal: there is no way to bypass it. You can stomp on/off the effects loop (i.e. the upright bass modeller + any other digital EQ/reverb effects you have programmed in), but some settings are outside of that loop: the input level, the input pickup setting (magnetic, piezo, or flat), master EQ, and the output level. If I was playing only upright, this wouldn't be a problem, as the pedal would always be in use. However, nearly all my gigs are doubling, so it is a bit annoying. I guess could use a separate effects loop pedal to bypass the Zoom A3 when I don't want it - but that's extra faffing and pedalboard space. (EDIT: I subsequently discovered that the tuner has two modes: "mute" and "bypass". The bypass mode is partial: it bypasses the main effect and master EQ; it doesn't bypass the input/output level knobs).

[quote name='ikay' timestamp='1466615738' post='3077292'] I'd be interested to hear what a regular bass guitar sounds like using the upright setting. [/quote] Interesting idea! It's a fretless jazz (rounds) at first, then about a minute in it's a fretted precision (flats + foam bridge mute). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-e5UwBVgq2k Pedal settings: EQ was set flat, 100% wet blend, magnetic pickup option. Nope... doesn't sound like an upright! We'll have to keep lugging these things around :-(
-
The EQ settings were: Bass: 10 o'clock Mid: 12 o'clock Treble: 11 o'clock The balance was completely clockwise (100% wet). I play with a loud 10-piece function band, but fortunately I don't ever seem to suffer feedback issues -- so I won't have a chance to test out the feedback functionality of the pedal.
-
I couldn't find much information about the Zoom A3 pedal, which is an acoustic remodeller -- so here's a quick demo in case it's of interest to anyone else. Bass: 'Christopher' brand hybrid (spruce top, laminate back/sides) Pickup: K&K Bass Max piezo [media]http://youtu.be/7i3pamLxgAU[/media] I used the pedal's default upright bass setting. I clicked the effect on and off every eight bars, starting with it off. I've faded the backing track out gradually over the length of the video, so by the end you can hear just the bass. My opinion: I don't know if it's just an EQ curve, or something else more complicated - but I think it sounds better with it on than off!

Sold a pedal to Rory. Good communication and a problem-free transaction!

I have a Pedaltrain nano here: the recessed area underneath is approx 30.5cm L x 9cm W x 2.5cm D. The rubber feet add another 1cm to the available depth.

Ha ha, yes, I bought the DI version a few days ago from sk8! These are great pedals. Photos of item for sale: There is a small amount of residue on the back from some velcro. Otherwise, in good cosmetic condition. Everything functions perfectly of course. -

For sale: Ibanez Artcore AFBV200A. Price: [s][b]£370[/b] including UK postage.[/s] [size=5][i]Bass is now sold[/i][/size] Not interested in trades at the moment. This is a four-string, hollow-body bass with a 30.3" scale neck and a "vintage"/relic finish. I bought it new about three months ago and have played it just a handful of times. No knocks, scuffs, or dings. Weight: 3.0 kg. Currently strung with D'Addario Chromes flatwounds - or I can re-install the original roundwounds (unplayed). I'll throw in a 'Tom & Will' gig bag (it has a rip on the outside but functions fine). The official Ibanez website is: [url="http://www.ibanez.com/products/u_eb_detail.php?year=2016&cat_id=2&series_id=57&data_id=61&color=CL01"]http://www.ibanez.co...d=61&color=CL01[/url]
