Another Smoothhound fan here! The back panel issue you refer to - is that the plastic battery cover on the transmitter?

Just sold Ed a pedal. Good comms and quick payment; in fact a completely hassle free transaction. Very happy to recommend. Hope you enjoy the pedal! Cheers, Bas

Yup it makes good sense at 4ohms, for sure. But my current regular gigging cab is 8ohms... And I'm about to get a Fearless F112 cab (which is also 8 ohms and before you ask, nope I'm not planning on pairing them up to get a 4 ohm load 😃) I came across this rather 'on point' thread from a couple of years back which was very useful for my set-up-to-be and also a little bit fruity...

Excellent! If I remember your posts correctly - neck through is not your thing, you prefer bolt-ons. Until now 😊

I've just met up with a very talented pro bass player and he's indirectly traded me my black Yammy BB735A for his white Yammy BBNE2!! The folly of youth. ...ok so there may be have been a bit of a time gap (a couple of years) between the two events and effectively some (ok quite a lot!) net cash flowing from me to him (so it wasn't actually a trade) but even so! Looks like I am going to have to change my avatar now though, and also rue the fact that he's living my dream... 😂

Diagonal body stringing - does it make any difference to the tone? We had a little discussion on this very point a couple of week's back - I've cut and pasted the relevant comments in case they are helpful for your Q below. In short, the answer seems to be "no"

This does look good! I've just spotted it's 400W at 4ohms => 200W at 8ohms. I think I'm going to have to wait for the R750 to hit the shelves!

Thanks Tony, we will get back to you on this, no need to contact us further... 😂

Sorry couldn't resist making the 1900th post on this ridiculously active thread about basses which some of us clearly love a LOT! I think the 40 pages or so we've posted since the start of 2019 have entirely coincided with a certain Andy Travis getting back his Yammy bug!! 😄

As a big Mesa M6 fan who has been tempted to get the WA Scout combo on several occasions, the above "candid" posts have been really helpful. Much appreciated, thanks.

Definitely the "S" (with the active / 3 band EQ) and BB1100 looks the right model too, now you mention it

+1^^ ! Which model is it? If that's your first Yammy then welcome to the BB club btw!

+1^^ and BF are also obviously much loved. Seems to me for your needs, you could do far worse than: One cab solution - VK 210 LNT 4 ohms (1200W AES power handling) Two cab solution - BF SC x 2

Great minds think alike and B1(X)-4 owners seldom differ eh? 😄

23 lbs. Including lid? Hmmm... that could be just about manageable.

I can't speak for what goes on in Europe, but my string plucking hand only had five last time I checked...

Cheers guys! What's the weight of the R 400?

If the Almighty had intended basses to have more than 5 strings surely he / she would have given us more fingers? 😂

Dan - great that you're loving this! Any further feedback from you on the amp - you had a chance to try it out in the mix? What is the weight and the price to your door of the head? Be also interested to hear how it's stacking up against the Markbass valve head you got last year?

Just come across this . Doesn't have the flexibility of the Boss LS-2, but it's more compact, cheaper and doesn't require any power supply: http://www.one-control.com/1-loop-box.html Seems like a neat solution if you're just looking for a loop option and don't have that available on any of your existing pedals.

@Shmeo welcome to Basschat and more importantly to the world of bass! There are a lot of bass players who don't use any pedals at all and simply go bass to amp. If you're not sure where to start a multi-fx is a great introduction to the typical sounds and tones that a pedal can provide (and they usually have a built in tuner as well). Very happy to recommend getting any of the Zoom pedals as they are really good value e.g. the newly released Zoom B1-4 or B1X-4.
