As usual some very good tips on here and here is my two pennyworth. Most sound guys prefer a flat sound, then proceed to screw it up. As a clean DI I use the Orchid Classic, Can be used in front of you amp or from the send of the effects loop. I honest;y feel that a mic for bass is almost a waste of time, if you have more than one speaker driver, a compete waste of time. I went to see a very well known singer last night (name omitted due to the risk of ridicule). It was a very professional show that was almost spoiled by two things. The overly loud kick drum and a bass that was so processed and loud that I could not tell whether he was playing the right notes. The result was the vocals were wiped out at various crescendos and the bass (or more correctly rumble) just overpowered everything. The moral of this is, get a radio system and listen to the sound check and tell the sound guy if it sounds crap (I did and it split my last band). I know have a new band and am happy with the sound.

I sold my pedal board some time ago and rationalised on the Zoom, TC Helicon Mic Mechaic and Smoothound Radio system. The power supply I used to use was not isolated and when all three were powered, there was a noise. So I decided to build a new wooden pedal board with bespoke power supply. It is till in the planning stage.. hence the batteries

Took my Zoom B1 Four to rehearsal last night and .... nothing. I had a fresh set of batteries but had to use my BD!21 as backup. At the end I plugged the guitarist's power supply in and it sporang to life. Duff batteries I thought.However just to check one last time, I plugged a jack plug into the input and it booted properly. Has anyone else had this? If I were superstitious I would say it got the hump as I was drooling over a B6 earlier

I have to be honest when my Sound City 120 was stolen, only my back was pleased. However since I swapped to bass I never really felt the need for a thermionic valve loaded amplifier. Good luck with your quandry.

Hi, I spent many days looking for a way to delete attachments as I had reached my quota. I only found the check boxes when told by a fellow basschatter. The checkboxes are barely visible in the dark theme.

very good point, Thank you.

Wow 80 pounds sounded expensive until i spoke to my fiend Boris, Apparently we used pounds for weight too, up until 50 years ago. However and now being serious (something my fiend Boris struggles with) 36.4Kg is 10 Kg over the guidelines for safe manual lifting. In my old industry that was called transportable rather than portable. On a serious note, would you not get the same or similar tone with a decent pre-amp, Say a Sansamp?

On the dark theme, the box is all but invisible, however I found them and have cleared out enough to make things workable. Thank you.

I can get to My Attachments but there does not seem to be a provision for deleting. I tried to post it here but........ I can't as \I have run out of space.

That is what some people think is the cause of Les Pauls going out of tune

I could understand it if the extra bit was on the top.

My Thunder 1A is probably the only bass I really regret selling.

Toe much information.

Hi, I seem to have hit my attachment limit. How do I delete them?

I bet he does not know who I am either 🤣

I wonder why they have chosen the AG prefix, surely it creates confusion with Aguilar's model numbering?

I seem to remember a thread where this was discussed but searching for it is a nightmare so.. I seem to remember a Dragons Den device being recommended, any info? Are there others I should consider?

Quality not quantity.

I must admit, living in the far south of England, a trip too far north for me would be a real trek. I do love the South West Bash each year although I had to miss last years due to a rare gig. Even that is a good drive away from me. being close to equidistant from the South East Bash.
