If you want a slightly bigger Kala U-Bass, there is the Gold Tone Microbass, and slightly bigger again is the Aquila Short Bass One 14 (which Bass Direct told me they would be getting in at some point).

*ahem* Yes it's still available!

Here's the TB thread folks: http://www.talkbass.com/threads/barefaced-69er-thread.823993/page-9

Sounds like you won't have a problem with low end. I'm a firm believer that if the drive circuit retains the low end already, you only need a blend to bring back some definition and dynamics to heavy fuzz/distortion, most overdrives sound better without it. So it depends how high you want to set the gain, but if you want a blend I'm sure he could sort you out! The '66 Knightfall has a blend as well as bass and treble controls and two channels BTW.

Got some already! Doctortweek only have 10n and 15n caps in stock, not sure how much of a difference that would make?

Try turning your bass eq knob down? I'd recommend a Thumpinator normally to help but I think Genz amps have a built in high pass filter already. FWIW, I had the same issue with the STM600, ended up replacing it with the Orange Terror Bass, which is supposed to be 500W but is much louder!

I've already modded my BBM with a master volume knob to fix the volume boost in dry mode, as well as a feedback switch (see [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/112212-bass-big-muff-volume-and-feedback-mods"]here[/url]). Now I want to add a mids control using the info posted here: http://www.talkbass.com/threads/bass-big-muff-mids-control-mod.1070352/ I've got a bunch of resistors, now I just have to find a source for the 20K LIN pot and 12n cap, and I shall be attempting it this week! (If anyone knows the best place to get those that won't charge ridiculous postage please let me know)

I'm using a pair of Ampeg SVT210AVs. I've tried various head/cab combinations and the Orange is always the darkest of the bunch no matter what it's plugged into. BTW, if you like the RH750 for its clarity, you'd be disappointed with the 450 as it doesn't have the same top end, so try before you buy! The 750 was on my shortlist along with a few others, but really looking to hear people's opinions on Aggie vs Orange.

I've had the OTB for a while now and love it, it has so much low end thump compared with other lightweight heads I've tried (Markbass LMII, Genz Streamliner, Ashdown MiBass, Ampeg Micro VR, Promethean). Only thing is, it lacks clarity. I don't want sizzling treble and enjoy the vintage high end roll-off; but at times the Orange can sound a bit too woolly for my liking. I don't need overdrive either as I get that from pedals; although I do like the slight compression and warmth from those tubes. Of all the amps out there, the Aguilar TH500 seems like the best fit for me. Can anybody who's tried both the Orange and Aggie chuck in their 2p? Also, if any TH500 owners are curious about the Orange (or an Ashdown CTM15) I'd be happy to sort out a short term swap arrangement!

Just bought a pedal off Mike and it arrived next day via special delivery, can't say fairer than that! Buy with confidence.

Top man. I contacted him to enquire about borrowing a pedal in exchange for one of mine, and all worked out very smoothly. In fact he was even kind enough to reroute the Tarkin he bought off Danbowskill via my house so I could try it out while he was on holiday since I was interested in buying it too!

Cheers all, but the other thread with the correctly spelt user name is over here! http://basschat.co.uk/topic/18653-feedback-for-dannybuoy/

Hopi ear candles are a total con. I had one done at a spa once, didn't make any difference, plus when it's burnt out they unravel it to show you how a load of powder inside that they claim came from your ear, when in fact if you burn one of these without an ear involved you get the same deposit inside at the end. After 34 years of using nothing but cotton buds, I put my head under the bath one day and the water never came out of my ears, and I was stuck partially deaf for 3 months. I first tried alcohol drops from the pharmacy, followed by olive oil then sodium bicarb drops prescribed by the doctor, but all that did is make a big sludgy cocktail in there. Eventually got them 'syringed' which I later learned isn't actual syringing anymore, but 'ear irrigation'. They basically have a tiny little jet pulsing warm water into your ear and it dislodges anything up there in a few minutes. It was all quite relaxing and my level of hearing was a revelation after. No more weird pops or ringing noises either, when I was scared I was getting tinnitus! Got the lecture about not using cotton buds, but still do - just on the outer part of the ear though!

smallsound/bigsound make the TAFM by the way! It's my favourite fuzz but I'm not a huge fan of the gated mode since it maxes out the gain when engaged. Didn't think of the BBM Deluxe - does anyone know if the gate can be used to get abrupt staccato sounds, or is it more designed to reduce noise?

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1399665486' post='2446562'] Anyone know what this 'resonator' is all about. Are these cabs actually sealed? [/quote] I'm guessing it's either some kind of fancy folded port or a passive radiator of some sort. Or just a regular port with a fancy name. Who knows until Alex chimes in! He's been active on the Talkbass 69'er club thread so I'm sure he'll be along shortly!

£365 new inc delivery: http://www.musik-produktiv.co.uk/ampeg-portaflex-pf-210he.html You could post a wanted ad rather than waiting for one to turn up, you never know!

I didn't realise the Knightfall has different clipping options - is the switch inside the pedal?

Well that Dunlop might let you hook up to both at once - fine if you want to control both at once of course, but not great if you don't! I take it a TS cable doesn't work properly in the EP-3? You might be able to use a VP Jr with the Xero if you hook up an insert cable (TRS to 2x TS) to the input/output of the volume pedal.

Only problem with recording to mp3 on my H2 is you can't fast forward through them like you can with wav files if playing back through the device. Maybe the newer ones have a bit more processing power to handle this!

Also, most solder you buy nowadays is lead free and really hard to work with - there are a few places that still stock the good old lead variety though!

I didn't know Line6 pedals had this requirement, but a quick google showed that people are using Ernie Ball volume pedals with a regular TS patch lead to control the M9. You could try the Dunlop expression/volume pedals - they have in/out for volume and an expression output - as long as they are on separate pots, you could try hooking the expression up to the Xero and the pedal input up to the Line6?

Go back on the EBBM forum and tell them you replaced the pickup - that will really wind them up.
