Pete bought my mic stand - great comms, quick payment AND he bought me a pint for my troubles. 11/10 Top basschatting.

So sorry for your loss. Words fail, sending all my love to you and yours.

There's one on Marketplace. Not mine I hasten to add!

Markbass stuff is really good - I'm taking delivery of a Nanomark tomorrow, I'll let you know how good it is!

Hello from a fellow big band Bassist!

I think we all need to be a bit more well tempered...

Do exactly what the client/producer asks you to and tune up before every take.

I want one.

Play them! I've got a couple more than I 'need' but they all get played - I rotate them and find myself thinking "This is a lovely Bass, I should play this more often" whenever I play any of them!

I hate Russian Dolls - so full of themselves.

I went for the Markbass Nano 300 - I like MB stuff, there was one on here for a good price and it's louder than I need so it could find a place in a bigger setup somewhere down the line. Cheers for all the input.

I bought Marks Barefaced One10 - good communications, great cab, lovely bloke. Top marks!

Are they any good for upright?

It looks like I'll be getting a Barefaced 110 (because GAS) to replace my Minimark 802 so I'm looking for recommendations for a small head to go with it. I'll be using it for jazz rehearsals/gigs on upright and electric and onstage monitor (with PA support and IEMs) for loud pop/rock stuff on 5 string electric. Is the BF110 loud enough for this? Is it any good for 5 string? I like Markbass stuff, so I'm looking at their heads, just wondering if there's anything else I should know about? Are the TE Elves/Warwick Gnomes any good for upright? I use a Fishman Platinum for upright, should I plug into the FX return? Is the Aguilar Tonehammer as good as I think it is? Half considering getting a TH500, then also getting a bigger Barefaced down the line to replace my MB CMD 121P. All and any input welcome.

If the chorus is on, the note wobulates (technical term) between sharp and flat... VERY confusing if you don't realise!

As Lefty says- depends if you're using the DI out on the HB. If you are, I would go tuner-> octave-> drive-> chorus-> DI. If not, I'd put the HB between the tuner and the octave. That said, the only rule that matters is what sounds best to you, spend an evening experimenting and see what you like. Also, welcome aboard!

The protec Contego is a good bag. I went through several doorways yesterday with mine on without ducking and I'm 6 foot. https://www.thomann.de/gb/protec_contego_bass_case_ctg_233.htm There's one on Marketplace

Do you know why cows wear bells? Because the horns don't work.
