Looks good. I am a fan of simple 'all in one' solutions so will be interesting to check these out. Feel free to send me a prototype for a review when you have one available! ped

Excellent, cheers Alex. It seems like it will be safe to power up at home even though I don't have any speakers yet... who dares me? Anyone willing to stake £90 and their reputation on it?? lol ped

I will give it a try at Kiwi's on Sunday. I might as well try it in stereo first though... I will be using it this way 99% of the time anyway so just wondered if there was an easy answer to my quandary - it seems like there sort of is... And Chrisb is right, you can pick up some bargains, especially if your poweramp is just a no name jobbie which internally is probably the same as a branded one but without the sensationalist hype I see a lot nowadays! I am on the lookout for cabs now but I anticipate having an 800w stereo rig which weighs next to nothing for under £300. ped

Hi mate, The chaps on Talkbass seem to think the same. I guess the only way to know is to try it.... Here is the TB thread: [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=511590"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=511590[/url] So it should DEFINITELY be OK then eh? I'm scared :-0

Oh quick Q... I have asked the seller (who seems a cool chap) but thought I might ask here too.. When I want to use this in stereo I hook up a speaker to each output of the amp, but for mono is it OK to just plug in one speaker and nothing into the other, or do both have to be plugged into something before I power up? Cheers ped

Lol

[quote name='~tl' post='390152' date='Jan 24 2009, 01:15 AM']Hmm, interesting. Any idea on the depth of that thing? All the 1U class-D amps I've come across (albeit in a fairly limited search) are stupidly deep, and hence won't fit in to a standard rack case...[/quote] Got the poweramp today. It is a classy little unit - very light and shallow in depth and height... here are some pics. The depth measures 25.5m I am taking it round to kiwi's on Sunday for a play... Cheers ped

Cool, how is it? I have always been keen on them myself... ped

Yeah I prefer the BFD logo. The whole word looks a bit much I think. ped

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='394421' date='Jan 29 2009, 11:32 AM']Have a Harem! I have. Wife #14 is due to move in soon! My collection just gently expands. I doubt I'll sell any on, and the rate at which I'm buying is slowing, but my bunch are all wildly different, yet all excellent in their own way![/quote] See I just can't do that!! Even when I have two fretted basses, one gets played more and the other doesn't get as much use, however much I kid myself that I need it. I think the idea of having 'my' bass is more exciting than having lots of basses that get used a bit. I always WANTED a massive collection when I started playing but ultimately realised that my own unique sound was what I wanted to stick with. No disrespect for the huge collection though man, you have some beauties and I definitely see where you are coming from! ped

Hey Toasted I just noticed your user title - Moderator Emeritus - what's that about?! ped

It doesn't really bother me that he plays this on a bass... not what I do with my bass but this is a nice performance nonetheless.... ped

[quote name='BigBeefChief' post='393698' date='Jan 28 2009, 02:31 PM']I emailed Ken Smith directly asking for him to endorse me. Had some quite comical emails from him! He's a grumpy f***er![/quote] That was a classic conversation. Quite impressed he replied, unlike the others! ped

The only downside of the MRS4 is there isn't an easy way to connect to the computer like the little Line6' USB (which looks cool!)

I used to have a Zoom MRS-4 (think I still do somewhere) and it was superb. Fantastic quality, easy to use, batteries last ages, weighed nothing and with a 32MB smartmedia card had tons of storage. Some of the songs on my website were recorded with it. I played the bass to a click, posted the zoom to my brother and he did drums, he posted it to the guitar player and he posted it back. Great fun to record in this way, the song I got back was a complete suprise and awesome!! Cheers ped

Sweet. Nice review and great looking bass. I am not normally a fan of single cuts but these look like something else, and play like a dream - every one I have tried of Mark's stock has been nothing short of superb, capable of an extremely low action and a bucketload of great zingy sounds. What's that little black 'extension' on the back of the bridge - something to do with the 33" scale? Cheers ped

Ownage

Hmm. Interesting stuff. I recently bought a spare set of new 'E2C' headphones by Shure (which I SWEAR by) only to find they have been replaced with SLC2's which sound completely different. It really sucks because the E2Cs give me the exact sound that I hear when I am recorded so I can really rely on them. The SLC2s have a really high treble hiss and sound much thinner and, well, worse! I better take real care of my current set of E2cs..... Bummer ped

LOL!! A little bit... Can't say I had heard of this bloke. Good stuff.
