Try as I might, I just can't get on with a 5 string bass. I'm therefore intrigued to know what people use for a 4 string bass tuned BEAD? Would you consider a multiscale 4 string essential for BEAD, or could you get away with a regular 34 inch scale bass? I don't really want to have to faff around mod-ing the hell out of the tuning peg and/or nut to take a B string gauge. There don't appear to be many 4 string multiscale options out there outside of Dingwall. I'm not a huge fan of the Dingwall sound - plus they're very expensive! If anyone has any experience with these I'd be keen to find out more about these: Ibanez SRMS800 G4M 972 Fanned Fret Bass Guitar Let me know if there are any other basses I should check out (preferably on the more affordable end of the spectrum).

I know BF make a three10, but as someone who already owns a two10 I'm curious how different my gigging experience would be by adding one more 10 inch speaker. For context I play in a classic rock covers band, mostly pubs and smaller venues. My two10 is a 4 ohm one, so combined with an 8 ohm one10 I should be fine as my head (genzler magellan 350) can go down to 2.67 ohms. Owning a two10 and a one10 sounds like a very versatile rig. You could play through one, two or three speakers depending on the situation. Everything from home practice to bigger stages would be covered. If anyone out there has tried it - please let me know your experience and if you think it's worth investing in an additional cab. i.e. does it really make that much difference or shall I just save my pennies and stop GAS-ing?

Any positive or negative experiences with this? Bonus points if you have already had experience with the regular pro co rat 2

I’ve actually just picked up a second hand rig: a genzler Magellan 350 and a Barefaced two10. It sounds awesome at home and I’m looking forward to trying it at gigs over the next two weekends. I really like the EQ section and contour knobs on the Genzler, I think the orange contour channel is going to be really handy in a live setting.

Yes. I have massively overthought this 😅 thank you

Ah I hadn't considered that!

Take two outputs from the pedal and put them into the same amp: OUT - (affected tone) into the return of the effects loop and into the power amp PARALLEL OUT - (unaffected tone) into the input of the amp so it goes through the pre amp of the bass amp itself I run this pedal at the end of my board, so I wondered if it could be a way of blending two different preamp sounds through one amp (utilising the preamp of the pedal AND the preamp in the bass amp)?

Does anyone know how this compares to the Peavey mini max Mk2? Both ~£350, both 600W.... They seem like great options for lightweight powerful heads, which is exactly what I'm after...

I’ve checked as many videos online of these things as I can find but I think I just want to hear them myself tbh. My pedal board and playing style will be different to whoever is demoing the gear so I’d like to have first hand experience with this stuff if possible.

Ah! Thanks for the heads up. I will call in advance to see what they have in.
