I noticed you have a Mesa WA combo. That's what I use for DB and it really does rather well.

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1342138462' post='1730415']A simple high impedance buffer circuit is pretty easy to knock up. [/quote] There is a chap called fdeck on Talkbass that has designed one, he is a double bass player. [url="http://personalpages.tds.net/~fdeck/bass/hpfpd.pdf"]It's this one.[/url]

Hi Wayne, I did something very similar to a bronco. Consider replacing that pickup. I bought a £15 Artec hotrail off ebay for mine and it helped the tone immeasurably. There are also other pup alternatives that fit. That stock strat pup is rubbish. I also added a cheap £10 high bass bridge. [IMG]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c66/bassoline/bronc-new.jpg[/IMG]

[quote name='White Cloud' timestamp='1341918921' post='1726072'] Bump! Nobody here has a passive Fender, Lakland or anything else and wants to give it a Sadowsky active EQ for a measley £115????????????? I'm surprised fellow bass chatters!!!!! [/quote] These are great for active instruments as well. I used to swear by mine when used with a Stingray and and active 5 string jazz bass with an East preamp. Gives an extra "width" to the tone of any instrument, and as you say, great with passive basses too.

[quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1342003840' post='1727721'] Just a quick note to confirm that TPJ is a top chap, and very easy to do business with. Best of luck with the sale [/quote] [quote name='Junglerog' timestamp='1342003925' post='1727724'] Great Bass, nicely priced. GLWTS. [/quote] Thanks guys [quote name='cocco' timestamp='1342007594' post='1727854'] I've always fancied one of these. What's the tone like? [/quote] You can get quite a bit out of these. Active set flat has more of a midrange bump than passive. The front pickup does a lovely woody P-bass-ish tone. The rear pickup with it's 3-way option gives you very good jazz bass tones, but I found the best tones for me were from blending the front and rear to varying degrees. I wouldn't call any of the active tone "vintage", it's more modern sounding, but the passive tones are very nice. The only thing that would make it even more great would be a passive tone control. The whole bass sounds very even across the range. Hope this helps.

These are now on hold pending a sale. Selling these great cabs. I've played them for a few years now. They still sound great but the carpet is looking a little woolly on the bottoms now, which helps lower the price. £400 ono for the pair collected or delivered within a reasonable distance for some diesel ££. I'm in Wakefield, West Yorks. No trades, just a sale please.

Bass is now sold. I'm having a clearout to recoup some costs of a big car service and to try and change tack a bit. I want to get a 10-12 string tapper. I'm shifting this very nice Lakland Skyline 4402. It's very light, plays well and looks nice too. I'd like £600 ono. No trades, just cash. Comes with a soft hard case and ideally would like to hand it over in person as I've seen things broken thanks to couriers. I'll travel a bit for a little juice money. I'm in Wakefield, West Yorks. Also selling my [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/181381-fs-aguilar-gs112-x2/"]Aguilar GS112's[/url] This is the bass (pic is from Gusto's recent sale thread)

Choosing a Class D head with more than 500W at 4 ohms and no more than £700

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1341992224' post='1727421'] although I would like a separate rig for my electric and double basses [/quote] Why? The AI into the Acme with a good preamp will give you one very good rig for both leccy and DB. Maybe a different pre for leccy and DB would be all you'd need. -
what's the interest in an Azola lightning bug EUB??
TPJ replied to debz's topic in EUB and Double Bass
I would think pics would help stir up interest -
There is a luthier in Nottingham, Kai Dase (http://www.yell.com/b/Kai+Dase+Violins-Violins-Nottingham-NG13FB-7154461/aboutus.html) If he doesn't rent, he may know where.

Did you sell your AI? A Tech21 VT pedal into the AI makes a lovely noise. -
[quote name='thodrik' timestamp='1341854239' post='1725178'] Also the Walkabout has more than enough volume for any gig I have done.[/quote] +1 I have a DI before the Mesa when playing live. I never use the Mesa DI unless I'm in the studio where I can EQ for the recording, most of the time I need the eq to make the the bass sound good in the room and that would equate to a lousy DI tone to the PA.
