    Just buy another bass, then when you're using the Ibanez you can put that on the hanger so it looks better.

    Nux also do a mini combo, 6.5" driver but overall size is not PJB/MB tiny. Built in bluetooth like the X4 though and lots of eq options, £200 from CPC: https://cpc.farnell.com/nux/mighty-bass-50bt/mighty-bass-50bt-amplifier-with-digital-effects-60w/dp/ls06045

    Yeah I quite like the battery arrangement, more secure as the batteries can be knocked loose on the Behringer. The belt clip is a better design as well I think. Can't grumble for £13 delivered, only took 9 days to arrive as well.

    Knock off Behringer P2 arrived, just briefly compared it to my real Behringer unit and it seems to be extremely similar in performance, just as much headroom. Will open it up later on and get some gut shots.

    I'd hunt arount for a used MB Micromark, a PJB M7 or PJB X4. You sometimes see the PJB BG-75 for around £250ish too. There's a Micromark for £200 on Facebook right now.

    Nash relics are pretty much always awful, those are no exception. The only realistic relics I've seen have been quite mild - dings around the edges, slightly worn finish and dulled hardware without going overboard.

    Frequently see used TC Bg combos for around the price of a new Rumble, sometimes under £100. Will be much more useful than a mine practice amp and has built in effects and a tuner. The previously mentioned Hartke Kickback (and also the larger A series) are also excellent if you see one come up for sale.

    I'd be surprised if there's anything better than the ZS10 for the measly £25 they cost me and for a lot of people that low price (along with the Behringer belt pack) is the little push they need to make the jump. I don't think I'd have convinced the entire band to go IEM if it hand't cost them just £55 each to kit themselves out, plus if you do upgrade later down the line you have a perfectly serviceable spare. Nothing to lose really and they starter kit reccomended on here has been a huge benefit to me and the rest of the band.

    Whirlwind do one in a belt pack format, eye wateringly expensive but looks ideal until you realise it's external power only.
  12. lemmywinks
    Not a belt pack (it's nearly half a kilo) and also not cheap but there's a wired compact headphone amp with a switchable optical limiter here: https://www.runwayproaudio.com/rolls_pm55p_personal_monitor_amp.htm

    Yes I remember the thread on it, very similar to my Hondo which has an AliExpress Epi bridge. Funnily enough I weighed mine tonight as I'm putting it up for sale - 10.5lb/4.7kg! Just out of interest what does the switch do?

    The one available for sale now is the snappily named PNB14E-OPN which is cheaper, has a bound fingerboard/body and is made in Indonesia. The Artwood versions (AVNB1E and AVNB1FE) were Chinese and look a lot nicer IMO. I had the cheaper one but returned it due to finish flaws and a poor fret job but it was a Thomann B stock, other people have had no issues with theirs. Eventually picked up the AVNB1E which is superb with excellent fit and finish. Harley Benton also do a 24" scale travel bass for less, looks a bit nicer than the cheapest Ibanez as well: https://www.thomann.co.uk/harley_benton_gs_travel_e_bass_mahogany.htm

    I was looking at the C3 Picasso but wanted as much headroom/visibility as possible, ended up with a Fiat Qubo which is a Fiesta sized van that has foldable/removeable rear seats. Was trying to convince Mrs Lemmywinks to get a C3 last time she was car shopping but she keeps buying these little hobbit cars I have to fold myself in half to get in. My rule now is that if it doesn't also function as a van I'm not interested!

    I just kinda assumed everyone on here had a Berlingo tbh.
  17. lemmywinks
    I had the Batking one, cool little thing that does a very good impression of an upright. One thing I would say though is if you want a fretless acoustic sound and feel but in a tiny package then they probably won't be what you're after. A better option might be getting one of the Ibanez Parlour basses (or similar Taylor GS Mini clones) and defretting it, even better finding one of the old Ibanez Artwood versions which had a fretless option. They're 24.5" scale, have bronze wrapped nylon strings and sound beautiful.

    What desk are you using? The XR18 has compression for each aux fader and there's also a limiter in the effects which you can apply to your aux feeds.

    I bought one of those cheap copies, will compare it to the Behringer when it arrives. Was about £13 with tax. Realised the other day the only spare we don't carry is the IEM belt pack so may come in handy. Looks like the belt clip part is removable (tool free thumb screw) and there's a proper battery compartment behind it instead of the slide out shell on the Behringer. Might actually prefer that tbh as the batteries can't become dislodged and the belt clip won't move around like on the Behringer..

    The Track IV looks a lot nicer IMO, some of the prices are mental though.
  21. lemmywinks
    Just tag @Bassassin to save time! Looks like someone has already replaced the bendy bridge in the first pic.
  22. lemmywinks
    Eggy Wets is the one I think
  23. lemmywinks
    Will grab one of those as a spare and report back!

    I high pass our keys player, band sounds much better for it. We don't do much low synthy stuff where I can take a back seat though. Usually kick rolls off around 77hz, bass is high passed around there and keys are high passed in the mid bass range so we all get a slice without interference. None of them know about this though, nor are they interested in learning about it! May be mistaken but you play in the Manfred Mann band don't you? How does your sound guy do things?
  25. lemmywinks
    Take charge of the PA and high pass the keys!
