I use a Boss LS-2 line selector when I have this situation. It's an A B box with a volume for each side that makes it easy to balance 2 separate instruments. It's cheaper than a Bassbone & they often appear for sale on here or eBay. They also have various settings that means they do much more than what I have described above and can therefore solve other connection and balance issues.

I've also booked for London and I'm up for curry too.

I worked for a couple of years with a guitarist who had an Edwards 335 which was very nice - Seymour Duncan PAFs as standard. He told me that it was an ESP-made brand that was only meant to be sold in Japan, not for export. No doubt someone will be along to confirm or correct shortly :-)

I have one of their earlier Rumblefish models and it sounds and plays great. A big sound, a bit Music Man like. Wouldn't mind trying one of these new ones at some point.

Thanks Owen! And now back to our Rob Allen thread......

With apologies for going off topic, what is it please?

I've had both and prefer MarkBass for tone, portability and reliability. My LMII & CM121P have done over 350 gigs and never let me down. My GK 700rb was a fairly good amp but heavier and the only amp to ever blow up on a gig. Just my tuppence worth.

Welcome! My wife's a Lichfield lass!

Hmmm....I have just bought & am enjoying a £90 fret less bass uke. I can that this is where I will end up in a few years! Looks great, enjoy!

Wow! Congrats indeed.

I agree completely. My old 4 ohm Peavey 4x10 was a great cab but impossible for me to move single handed even with castors. I went through a couple of cabs before getting a Barefaced Super 12T for all the usual reasons.

My favourite was the singer whose false teeth fell out and rolled under the drum kit in a filthy rehearsal room. He shouted "guitar solo!" and crawled between the kick & floor tom in search of them. Once retrieved, he stood up, blew the crud off them & stuck them back in. That's when we stopped playing & sniggering and started laughing. He couldn't understand why.

I have played & owned a few but now only have a fret less '85 Stingray with 3 band eq in trans red. It's road worn and I would like a fretted one to go with it at some point. A stingray always feels and sounds so right to me.

Thanks - I'll pass this on.

You connect them using a speakon cable. OBBM on here made mine for me at a very good price. I find it makes quite a difference have both combo & cab and wish I'd bought the cab sooner.

I would if it were my case. I can ask my pal for some pics but any suggestions in the meantime?

"I've ordered a wiring loom from KiOgon, stacked pots with separate tones and a series/parallel switch so excited to see what it'll sound like!" Based on the helpful comments in this thread & my love of the series setting on my Reverend 5, I'm ordering exactly the same setup from John & will also report back.

Saw a friend at the weekend who keeps his bass in a hard case where two of the catches are broken. He asked me if I knew of anyone in the Croydon/ South London area who fixes such things. I don't and a search on here didn't find anything either. Any suggestions please?

In 30 years of gigs, I've only had 1 broken string and 1 blown up amp (G-K 700RB). Fixing the string was easy but I've always taken 2 basses to most gigs since. The amp issue was resolved by borrowing a spare PA power amp. I was using an active bass that night so it was easy to drive it & get a good sound. Perhaps I've been lucky?

I enjoyed it on iPlayer and bass (and overall sound) was fine. I have a Panasonic 5 way + sub system. Perhaps we need a gear porn thread for our TV sound systems or perhaps we should lobby Alex to make a Barefaced system.

Whilst I would echo the recommendations of buying used off here & going for a separate amp & cabs, I would also suggest that Northampton isn't too far from Bass Direct in Warwick. You'll get much more from a visit there than one to a generic music shop.

I like the Demeter Optocompulator. It's simple, effective and there's no issues with the top end.

I've never heard of Peterbuilt basses either but the trucks are spelt Peterbilt IIRC. Off to google the basses too.

Very happy with mine.

Now sorted, many thanks!
