Surely if there's a different amp each night then there's a different preamp to battle against work with each night? To me it would make much more sense to use the Sansamp into the effects return to negate running through a preamp you're not overly familiar with. But hey, to each their own.
-
The Helix does. For something simpler, the models on the B3 can be blended with a clean signal. Not with each other though...
-
Now sold, thanks. -
I find it VERY disconcerting that you can pay $49.99 to get 'premium membership' unless you're female, in which case you get it for free. Is it just me, or is there a slight "get in my van, darling " creepiness to that?

If you insist.

Gah, dream bass. I know you SAID no trades. But this is exactly the same price as my Bongo that's for sale.... -
Hah! Yes, that's what I get. You see, I'm a scientist. A science communicator actually, I teach science to adults and young people. I was desperately trying to move away from SI because I know most people use imperial so obviously I typed 9.1 and then wrote 'kg'. Rest assured it is 9.1lbs and therefore 4.1kg.

Hello good people of Basschat. The great Joe Nerve once said "I used to play bass, but I now I play Bongo" and now here's your chance too. For sale is my MusicMan Bongo 4 HH. It's in Sapphire Black, which is the almost-grey metallic colour and in very good condition. There are a few tiny scratches on the headstock but nothing else of note really. EDIT - The chip I was sure was on the headstock is on the upper horn instead, and there's a tiny a scratch on the body. I've included photos of those below. As well as the black scratch plate that's on it I'm also including the original (and slightly gaudy) grey pearl scratch plate as well as a road worn hard case. It's just had a clean, a brand new set of D'addario balanced tension strings and pro set up by the Bass Doc. Weight is 4.1kg, 9.1lbs apparently. Subjectively? It's a Bongo! Massive tone, very usable 4-band eq, great (or hideous, depending) looks, very comfortable. I'm located about 10 minutes North West of Newcastle. You would be encouraged to come along and check it out before buying, but I'm open to posting, delivery, ect within reason. In terms of payment, cash is always preferable but a bank transfer and paypal are good too. At this point you're thinking 'Great, but what about trades?' Well, yes but I need at least most of the cash as I've just put a deposit down a new watch. If you really, really wanted then I quite fancy a traditional-looking MIM or similar p-bass with a maple neck. Or possible a MIM or similar telecaster guitar.

Genius.

As far as I know, and I'm still pretty new to this, the paths are always separate. You use the merge and split blocks to navigate between 1A and 1B as well as between 2A and 2B.

Behringer EQ now sold! -
I have a board of pedals and send that straight to PA without using any kind of proper digital modeller if that's what you're after? IME many preamp pedals (Ive had or have the M80, Sansamp, BDI21, and a few more) don't have the output to run an FRFR cab directly. This kind of makes sens as they're designed to go pre>mixer>powered cab and if you miss the mixer out they can be too quiet. Many cabs have switchable input sensitivity, which can negate this. I worked around by using a Behringer MIC100 (although similar units are available in every prive range) to make sure that I had LOADS of gain on tap to run any frfr cab. In short, if you had a 'normal' board with whatever pedals on it that you wanted such as the comp and SVT-type thing that you're talking about and then stuck a 'proper' microphone preamp on the end rather than an amp you'd be golden.
-
Obviously, those 3 frfr solutions will in fact all sound slightly different yes. No speaker can ever be frfr, and even if it was directly on axis then it wouldn't be off axis and it certainly wouldn't be anywhere near once it's in a room rather than an anechoic chamber. The point is, they're getting as close as they can within certain physics, budget, size, weight and cost constraints. Give me a very large, very capable PA system in a good room, an RTA mic and a pink noise generator and I'll get you damn close to frfr in one particular spot. But as soon as you move around the room, move the pa system to a different room or indeed try and compress the whole pa system into something the size and weight of a QSC 10.2 then you're going to move farther away from the ideal. An 8x10" (or really most cabs) are designed to sound subjectively good. They're a part of the instrument and they're for sound production, not sound REproduction. FRFR just means that you're aiming for clean and clear, you're aiming for reproduction rather than production. Whether or not you can ever achieve it is another matter.
-
Good to know! Can you get them to clip? What's the internal gain on the amps? Mine has to be set to 18db to get them to full volume with a GK Plex.
-
Mrtcat, or indeed anyone else with the FR800, do you find you have enough gain to drive the barefaced cabs with the helix? I had a Kemper for a bit, then I borrowed a helix for a bit but never really tried it at full chat. I'm kinda tempted, but line 6 don't quote output and those 2.400 amps are not the most sensitive of things.
-
IME there are two answers to this question. 1. It very much depends on your situation. I'm one of the people who often don't take an amp at all these days. Conversely, I have been in a band in the past that needed (I'm not kidding, needed) my 1600W QSC amp and 2 2x12" cabs. 2. Oh, just get 500W and a medium sized cab such as a 2x12" or 4x10". That'll do for 99% of situations you'll face. Pick an answer and run with it. :-)
-
I just tried to find a shop selling them to check the price and nowhere has them. Have they been discontinued?
-
I appreciate that, but a big draw of the original was that it was a £90 bass with a £40 pickup. :-)
-
That's me resting a little easier, thanks folks.
-
Downer, I was just about to get one. What's the consensus on how the new pups compare to the Wilkinsons?
-
Excellent! Do please report back after a gig or two? I'm a huge fan of Didier's products, pleased that he's getting the sales that he deserves!
-
Meh, that's the firmware that was originally supposed to surface in August. I've been a GK fan for years and I've many good experiences with the 6 amps and 4 cabs that I've owned but they've really dropped the ball with the Plex. Low output, annoying problems, no updates, product recalls (unavoidable, but adds to the bad taste we already have).

For the record, ped sorted this via pm in less than 5 minutes. BC once again pulling it out of the bag. On a Sunday. -
Hello all, I'm continuing my gear clear out, so I have the following for sale. SOLD £85 Line 6 G10 - I had one of these for about 6 months and loved it (that ones is pictured on one of the boards below). Unfortunately it broke (these things happen) and I sent it back for warranty repair. In the meantime I have become comfortable using my G55 and so when they sent me my replacement G10 I haven't even opened it, I'm passing it straight on to the bass playing community. New, unopened. £25 Rock Stock Bright Switch - "But how" I hear you cry "How will I power my new Line 6 G10 that I've just bought from Jack?" Boom, enter the Rock Stock Bright Switch *mic drop* Take a boss power plug and has two usb sockets. One for the included light and the other for the G10. Or your tablet. Or charge a phone on the gig. Or, when you have wall power you can use it to charge your pedal board battery for when you don't have wall power. How clever is that? Boxed with usb light. £40 TC Electronic Switch-3 - 3-button footswitch for BH amps, Nova system, etc. In a very battered box with connecting cable £25 Boss AB-2 - slightly scruffy. Barely. I'm only noting this because everything else is so mint. £55 Pedaltrain Classic Junior - Great condition, in a soft case. Velcro on the top. SOLD £45 Pedaltrain Metro 20 - Also great condition, also soft case, also velcro! 🙂 SOLD £200 Gallien-Krueger Plex - boxed, with manuals and accessories including the EU psu that came in the box SOLD £80 Zoom B3 - decent condition, few minor scratches SOLD £110 Strymon Ojai - absolutely mint with box and cables SOLD £45 Boss GEB-7 - box, excellent condition, velcro on the bottom SOLD £10 Behringer BEQ700 - boxed, mint condition SOLD £20 Behringer BDI21 Trades sought: P bass with a maple neck in a traditional colour Electric guitar with humbuckers 2-4 channel mixer with balanced main outputs Vocal microphone Studiospares 458190 Laptop (as long as it's quite small and in good condition) Oh, pretty much anything. Try me. Sensible offers welcome! They are all in generally very good condition and all of them work flawlessly, anything else is noted with the item. Unless I've specifically mentioned it then please assume that these pedals are without accessories. Postage is included! I'm happy to meet up or you're welcome to come and try anything out. I'm around 10 minutes North West of Newcastle. Thanks!

Hello all, I'm trying to post some ads in the marketplace but it says my subscription has expired. It may well have done, so I'm not really questioning that. What I'm questioning is, how can I confirm this? I can't find anything about payments to BC on my emails or bank statements, does it come up under a different name? Secondly, is it still a reduced rate for resubscribers? Where do I get this deal? Thanks!
