I can lend you my EAD 212 if you like. I'm just up the road. It works great for DB being 3-way.

My Allegro resonates well and although it has a tummy rest, you can still feel it vibrate against your body. I bought it used and the pickup under one of the strings had crapped out, so I installed a regular adjustable bridge with a Fishman Full Circle and it sounds great. It isn't that much lighter than my DB but it's easier to move around and transport.

Lovely Looks great. I'd get those old strings off and the new ones on as soon as...
-
Good stuff. Looking forward to seeing what it's like

Hi Nugget, check out [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/232358-fdeck-clone-made-in-uk/page__p__2470907__hl__fdeck__fromsearch__1#entry2470907"]this thread[/url]. You can get a FDeck clone made in the UK for a very reasonable price. I have one and it works great.

Nice bass, enjoy
-
It also depends on your instrument, how it's set up, how you play etc...It's not just strings. I took a bass for a health check up and it came back so much louder just from knocking the bridge and sound post around a little. If you haven't had your bass looked at professionally, it might be worth the effort.

Mark bought my Mesa Walkabout amp. A very nice guy and very easy to deal with. Makes nice coffee too Thanks again Mark and enjoy.

All sold now. -
[quote name='The Jaywalker' timestamp='1417442839' post='2620349'] Other option is to use the Spiro Mittel S42 set. As it's 4/4 scale, if you put them on a 3/4 the tension is noticably lower. On my bass its kinda halfway between weich and mittel. [/quote] I was going to try this as I liked the sound of mitts on my bass but the tension was difficult. I put a set of 3885OW on there, put the action up a turn on the adjusters and am really happy with the tone, volume and playability. The weichs are a nice string for sure.

Nodd bought a Mesa Walkabout 12 speaker from me. His communication skills were great throughout and he was patient with delivery as I had a busy work week and couldn't post straight away. Very easy to do business with. Thanks Nodd, enjoy the speaker.

[quote name='smaz' timestamp='1417180152' post='2617854'] Are you willing to ship the head? Cheers [/quote] Hi. I'm still hesitant to ship the head so collection/meetup for the moment. If it doesn't move then I'll look at that option.

BSX Allegro - can't EQ out the ultra high top end!
TPJ replied to franzbassist's topic in EUB and Double Bass
Seems odd that you can't eq out the high frequency. I don't remember that kind of noise on mine when it was stock. -
The cabinet is now sold so just the head available now at £450

pm's replied [quote name='thebassman' timestamp='1416760240' post='2613259'] Iv'e used Interparcel, UPS, twice recently for sending expensive basses. I do make sure the packaging is very good too. Both have arrived safely, so can recommend them. Cheers Thebassman [/quote] Thanks for the info. I've had problems shipping cabs and amps in the past, though not with the ones you've mentioned. The couriers seem to like to just drop the things off the trucks. Never very good for the insides of valvey things. I've also had some speakers end up being ripped from the force of being dropped. :/ It's hard to protect them no matter how much packaging that is used.
-
Bump Might be willing to sell the head and cab separately but still not sure about posting. Can anyone offer up a reliable and safe courier?

[quote name='artisan' timestamp='1416503179' post='2610974'] I would think it'll be good,I have no problem with my 212 so can't see why a 112 would be. unless you know something about these [/quote] I don't know anything After reading Ed F's article on the F112 and how good it is for high volume DB, I'm interested in the alternatives. The BB2 is a contender. I'm also actually wondering about TKS too.
-
Thanks Muzz. It's more the high volume with double bass that has me intrigued.
-
[quote name='artisan' timestamp='1416387998' post='2609574']looking forward to trying out my Big Baby 2 once it arrives. [/quote] I'm looking forward to hearing how well it works with your Duke. Curious how well it will do high volume.

UPDATE: Sorry, this gig has been cancelled due to illness. See you at the next one We're back at the Hop tomorrow. Come and check us out, it's good fun.

There are a fine selection of Mesa amps right now, this combo being one of them

Strings for 1/2 size and action for soft hands!
TPJ replied to Telebass's topic in EUB and Double Bass
Have you considered Innovation Honeys? I know they make 1/2 scale strings and they are medium tension too, just a little darker sounding perhaps than the other strings you mentioned. -
