Bought my MB cab last Summer, took just over a week. Packaging amazing as ever, used them years ago and definitely will again. 👍

These are great. I was alerted to them after asking here on BC. I wiped the neck down with glass cleaner to de-grease, and stuck them on. Mine haven’t shifted in 4 or so months, played at home and gigged. Comes with a little torch to ‘charge’ them if needed. I usually find the stage lights illuminate them enough. Tonight’s gig is on a darker stage, so that’s the bass I’ll be packing! 👍

This may be a daft question…..please be gentile! I’m in the market for a backup amp, and got curious about the pedals which change tone, and DI out. Rather than an amp, I’m looking at investing in a pedal. Question is, is that the best use on these? I gig with a Markbass head and 2x10 cab. I’m wondering why…..the MB sound is what it is, and it ain’t ever going to be an Ampeg 8x10! Is there any point in such pedals going through a trad amp/cab, or better suited to a DI and monitor situation? I did pose in the PA section about the 64 Pedal……if I did want to dump the amp/cab, what would be the best (keep the cost down) monitor? I love the idea of these things that would give the sound I’ve dreamed of, but in such a small package. 😎

Hope this needs to be here, rather than the Effects forum. i’ve always been a head/cab or combo player. However, our band DI’s everything through the PA, so my cab is little more than a monitor. They use IEM, I’m not there yet….. I’m in need of a backup amp, and stated to look outside the box. I was very taken with the Origin Effects Bass Rig 64. My idea was to use that instead of an amp, into the PA direct, and then maybe run myself a monitor. So all I’d carry would be pedal and monitor. I’ve been digging online, and TBH, I’m foxed…..I know very little about PA’s and the like, and if my idea is even workable……I’ve read than many monitors lack bass power…… I guess my question is how, and if……and if so, how and into what again! I guess that such a pedal would still work as an in-case my amp failed? So still kind of a backup? Hope this all makes some kind of sense……if I can lose the old amp/cab idea, and go more 21st century? 🤟🤞

My go to string on everything! 🤟

That would be awesome info…..think there’s probably a few of us on here tempted by the current deals…..but worried about the power. 🤟

Excellent idea! 👍

Looks good. 👍 I’m still torn between this and the BQ500….prices will probably hike by the time I’ve decided. Can’t decide if the extra umph is worth it, or given TC specs, how much difference it would make in the real world.

Would love to know more about how these really cut it, output wise…..the price is very tempting……😇

I’m really interested in this. I’ve been playing various Rickys for 25+ years, and I’ve never used the RoS feature once! Thomann now list it as out of stock……but I’ll keep an eye on it. Please forgive the thread hijack, but I saw 3 unmarked inputs on its front……and I’m a bit confused by TRS and TS? I’d always assumed that RoS needed a splitter cable? I'm guessing then the box then gets jack cabled to the two amps? Do excuse my complete pathetic-ness on this…..but I’d love to get mine working too! 👍

I’ve been reading up, and there seems to be a bit about the 200 getting very, very hot when pushed a little. I’m wondering about the 500, but not sure as apparently the output isn’t quite what you’d expect from a 500? Think I’m stuck with my Matkbass Fanboi blinkers on……I find it hard to stray! 😩

Guess the 500 would be a good bet, even as a backup? Bit worried a 200 or 250 wouldn’t cut it……. Im torn between holding on until after Christmas, in case there’s more sales on.

The 500w version is £199. I could do with a backup amp…..wonder how it would with my Markbass cabs? Actually, £119 sounds better……but 200w? Is there enough there?
