  1. Check these two : https://www.guitarsoundsystems.com/gss-single12-12-bass-cabinet-c2x20335127 https://www.guitarsoundsystems.com/gss-single12coax-coaxial-12-bass-cabinet-c2x25882857
  2. If you want the best, then try to find a second hand AER Amp One, Two or Three as they are very expensive new. You'll have the ultimate portable combo designed for electric bass. Check Ed Friedland's videos about the subject :
  3. Very nice ! And a one pickup bass is always a pleasure to play. Having owned one ACG, I'm sure it's a terrific instrument and that low action is a proof of a great craftsmanship !!! 😉
  4. Oh no, it's grey. 😁
  5. Done it a few times now and it's a real pain where you know. It takes soooooooo much time. Looks like we were back to the early 80's when computers were just making one thing at a time. And this mandatory confirmation is so paranoid. IT's ways are often so illogical...
  6. I don't care, yellow is my favourite colour, that's why I'm facing the amp and not the audience. 😋
  7. Musical instruments are not covered more than £100 GBP by ParcelForce whatever you put them in or extra insurance you take. And almost any other courier in the UK does the same. There has been a talk about this here :
  8. The wedge is a very good option indeed, I like it too, but simply add this accessory and almost any combo or speaker becomes a wedge : https://www.musicstore.de/en_GB/GBP/Markbass-Mark-Stand-/art-BAS0001935-000;pgid=KfIg8AwLQ5ZSRp5LX.u_eGuO00001BLc0uAz
  9. The Marcus combo could be a good option too, but for 200 gramms less and £165 GBP less, you have 500 Watts more... Yes the 121 Lite delivers the full 800 Watts without any additional speaker and is totally usable at low wattage. The more is the less here. 😉 The price at the same place for the Marcus combo : https://www.musicstore.de/en_GB/GBP/Markbass-Marcus-Miller-CMD-102-500/art-BAS0009739-000;pgid=KfIg8AwLQ5ZSRp5LX.u_eGuO00001tYz_6LP
  10. Go the GSS Sumo route, it's exactly what you need. It's not that expensive for such high quality.
  11. So don't look any further, if you are talking power, versatility and little weight, the best option is certainly the MarkBass Alain Caron 121 Lite, 800 Watts for 16.3 kilos : http://www.markbass.it/product-detail/combo-121-lite-strong-alain-caron-strong/ You can find it new for £720 GBP here : https://www.musicstore.de/en_GB/GBP/Markbass-Combo-121-Lite-AC-Alain-Caron-Signature/art-BAS0008056-000;pgid=KfIg8AwLQ5ZSRp5LX.u_eGuO00000sxtMQld This combo can do everything.
  12. What's your price range and music style ?
  13. The most important is the packing and the way it's perfectly done : bomb proof isn't exaggerated. The courier is, hélas, to often a lottery, so put all the chances on your side with the best made package, the address typed and not written, a phone number clearly visible and the same paper inside the box. Think about the usual weather and make it "rainproof" as much as possible. Try to ship on Monday to avoid a long weekend in the overheated or underheated (depending the season) warehouses. The shorter it's in the courier hands, the better it is.
  14. Lots of Eagles fan here, won't get into any debate.
  15. Don't tell me that what the late Glenn Frey wrote is not folk music. I know, a lot of people call it americana because it's a mix between different genres, but it's basically folk rock music.
  16. Zap all the sh*tty folk songs and watch the rest, with a great Joel Walsh. This DVD was a gift from a friend and it really took me one year before to open it and take a look at it, not liking the Eagles at all. If you take these the folk part away, it's a very well recorded live and I must admit I like their rock songs, but hate the rest, really. Take a look here : https://ok.ru/video/193012763157
  17. You hear in a logarithmic way, so the volume should be logarithmic. The tone for being usable all the way should be linear. Audio for a pot doesn't mean anything and beware of the letters A or B as they are quite often mismatched.
  18. You can put two 22nF for each of them (500 KOhms + 250 KOhms, ideally linear for tone).
  19. 22nF and 47nF with 250KOhms pots. So the typical ones.
  20. The EQ is an effect if you use it the wrong way, meaning tailoring a sound as it was intended to be used to correct the room defaults. In this case, it's not an effect.
  21. Quite good news as it's fixable. Will Jon make the repair for free ?
  22. If you boost those frequencies below 50 Hz a lot, yes. If you just add a pinch of low end, no.
  23. And it's sounding great, Russ. I'm a big fan of yellow but not of green, so it's a good compromise here. 😉
  24. Thanks for that Tony. The problem with lines on a fretless is that you are playing with your eyes and not your ears, and we have here a demonstration of this issue as most of the notes he's playing are out of tune... Lines are there to help, but you have to learn to play in tune and hear your note sharply in tune. That said, I don't like the overall sound of the instrument and the 5 ways rotary switch is really useless as there's a tone control.
  25. These are the data missing concerning this bass : 16.5mm strings spacing at bridge, 1 volume (push/pull for series/parallel), 1 tone (push/pull for dummy coil), 1 rotary selector (5 ways) and 1 dummy coil (under the ramp).
