Y'all know what it it is! Sounds as you'd expect, it's just taking up a bit too much space on my board so I've been using my VT Bass instead. Price includes UK shipping.

The king of tube screamers, and has a 100hz boost so you keep your low end. Sounds great with bass. Includes box and instructions, price includes UK shipping.

Extremely flexible distortion pedal that allows you to pinpoint what frequencies are being distorted. Price includes UK shipping.

Awesome sounding amp, just finding myself using my Ashdown more for my current projects. Comes with carry bag, intelligent footswitch and all manuals etc. Price includes UK shipping.

Glad you're enjoying the Epifani cab!

Have you any idea how this would compare to a 1x15 cab?

 I have epifani 4 x 10 cabs but want a bassier push from a 1x15 .

im wondering if this would sound as big as a 1 x15 mark bass cab ive borrowed from a friend.?

 kindest regards

 

Hi, sorry this has sold now. I think 12" speakers are a perfect middle ground between 10" and 15". More lows than a 4x10 and not as boomy as 1x15s can get... in my experience only of course.

Hi, do you have an approximate weight for this cab?

Hi, I'd estimate between 23 and 25 kg, I can pick it up in one hand comfortably. I just picked up and compared to a 20kg plate and it only felt a touch heavier.

Do you know of any demos of the Mini XO?  I want it because it's shiny but I have no idea what it sounds like! Can't see any demos on YouTube.

Great sounding cab, loud enough for pretty much any situation. I decided to move to a 2 cab setup so this has to go. Generally in great condition,  but the carpet is a bit "fluffy" in places and a bit tatty at bottom (pictured). I'll do my best to remove any dog hair embedded in the carpet... it's like velcro!

I really don't want to post this if possible, but am happy to drive a reasonable distance to deliver or meet up.

PM sent regarding a possible Stingray trade

Post ti Scotland?

Sure, no problem.

Bought an MXR overdrive from Adam. Great communication and very speedy delivery. Top lad.

In mint condition, only got used for a week and I decided I wanted black hardware! Link to where I originally bought them below. Price includes postage.

Don't know anything about the pickup except it came from a Mexican Fender. It sounded good before I swapped it out though.

Open to offers, I wasn't sure how to price it.

Great condition and perfect working order, I just found I was only using one distortion sound so bought the smaller switch. Uses a normal guitar cable. Price includes postage.

Great little interface that I used for years, but just upgraded. Works perfectly and in great condition. Price includes UK postage.

Amazing looper pedal that I am nowhere near creative enough to use properly! Comes with box and manuals etc. Price includes UK shipping.

Great sounding double distortion with a cool VU meter... what more could you want?! Comes with box and manual, price includes UK shipping.

Great playing bass, looks and sounds like it should. I've just come to the realisation that I always pick up my Jazzes first and this is way too nice to not be played. Fitted with a Hipshot Xtender for drop D goodness but the original E tuner will be included. MM call the colour Sapphire Black... it's basically like a metallic charcoal grey. Not a lightweight at 10.4lbs (4.7kg) but I've never had any issues with the weight. There are a couple of small dings in the body that I've pictured but otherwise in great condition. Comes with fitted hard case. Price includes shipping... just need to find a box!

Open to offers and trades... specifically looking for a couple of lightweight 1x12s 

Great sounding amp in great condition, and plenty LOUD! Comes with padded carry bag. Only selling because I just bought a Darkglass Microtubes head.

Price includes next day shipping.

Dear @Berserker, as much as little spats like this occasionally break out on BC they often contain very good information, albeit a bit fizzy with static so to speak.

I've managed to get plenty of info from this thread... just sorry I opened such a can of worms! All the comments in this thread are truly appreciated though, and I'll be sure to discuss with the band the way they do things. They're guys in their 40s playing rock covers so I'd imagine it's a more old school approach but no harm in hearing different ways of doing things.

Sold pending payment.

Thanks for all the replies, I will try to get more info from the band about their setup and  figure out the best course of action from there. Sounds like my amp and cab are up to snuff so I'll probably get a Sansamp or something as a backup too. The main thing is I want to be prepared, and make sure any issues aren't due to me not having a piece of gear that every bass player should know about! The guys in the band have been doing it for 20+ years so they're taking a bit of a chance on someone with no live experience.... I just want to make sure they don't regret it!

I know there are many ways to do things and no right way, so I appreciate all your advice.

Can't wait to get on stage!

Wow, so much great info here, thank you all for your input! 

Hi guys,

I'm a former guitarist and pretty new to the world of bass, and I've never played live (at 39... I know!). I've been offered the bass spot in a gigging cover band after the pandemic is over and I have a couple of things I'm not sure about gear-wise. These will be pubs and small club gigs.

1) How often do you get to use the DI from your amp, or mic it? I really like the sound of my amp (Microtubes 900), and the DI sounds great to me. Do engineers prefer DI pedals? I was thinking of getting a Sansamp or something as a backup, but if engineers will always prefer using that, the overdrive from my amp probably wouldn't get used except for my monitoring (and I really like the sound). Would I be better off getting a DI box like a Radial instead?

2) The amp is 900 watts (I usually run it in 500w mode) and I use a 700w Epifani UL212 cab. Will this be way too much for most small venues? Would I be better off getting 2 smaller cabs so I have the option to run one in 350 or 500w mode, or combine the two for bigger venues?

Sorry if these are beginner questions, I just don't want my lack of live experience to be detrimental to the band and I want to be as flexible as possible for the venues.
