Amps fail, pedals fail, irrespective of age it’s no biggie. It’s about being prepared and being able to play the gig.

The Fender 800Pro crapped out. The fan still sounds like it’s working but no sound- a trip to the amp doctor is in order. I’m actually glad it cut out as it’s given me an excuse to clear out the pedals and go full iem. You know my views on the stomp already. I think it’s a highly capable unit. I don’t think anyone ‘expects’ an amp to die on a gig and while it’s inconvenient it wasn’t a disaster and my board met the task admirably. It’s kinda why I had my board set up the way it was - to cover a failure on a gig. I’ve still got my big box CaliTX but knowing I can set up multi band compression on the stomp and a parallel signal path it may too be made redundant but patching it in is an option via the fx loop. The sheer amount of flexibility means that if I do bring my rig I can have a patch with the amp/cab sim going straight to the desk but not the amp so all options are covered. I don’t think the Stomp will arrive before my gigs on Tuesday so I’ll have a bit of time to dial it in- I think I still have a folder on my laptop and I’ve been kindly given some IR’s by a fellow BC’er which should accommodate my need perfectly. You shifting your HX soon then in favour of the VTDI for live?

I’ve just acquired a Stomp (again) and looking forward to going full IEM for the foreseeable future. I still have a good rig for when needed or a special occasion but having had an amp failure a few weeks ago and having no option but to go direct it was grand and I’m happy to embrace it.

This should keep me going until Luna gets released!

Great team at Lehle! -
Hey Giles! Yup I wasn't gonna list it as I've had it so long! I thinkI've had this one on my pedal board for maybe 6+ years - it's super versatile with a super clean EQ. I've a dep gig next week and I might stick this back on the board for it. I'll probably take a P and a J for that show - P bass via the passive input A, Jazz into input B with the Basswitch EQ just to beef it up a bit. I didn't realise until recently they discontinued them!

Ok I’ll start some new ads cheers for the heads up. -
Lots of stuff sold yesterday so some more pedals added. First person to nab one of the remaining pedals will get a free Mooer Thunderball OD/Fuzz. Great little fuzz but the OD doesn’t quite sound ‘right’ but it could just be me. Like I say works better (to my ear) as a fuzz.
-
When white with gold hardware isn’t the worst decision that was made...

Result 🙂 -
Updated with new pedals

I'd need to hear them side by side to give a real comparison and I'm not saying a 110 would be 'better' just that it might offer up an alternative which could work well with a B string. As for RMS handling depends what driver is used but I'd hazard that a 10 might be expected to handle 450-500w.

I think 14kg is is about the weight of the F110

**Free Mooer Thunderball Fuzz/OD with this pedal** Mooer Radar Speaker sim but so much more! Its an EQ, HPF/LPF, headphone amp - see full spec below. Currently £119 on Thomann. This unit is boxed with and has had minimal use on my pedal board. Going to nab a HX Stomp due to a rig change to IEM. Pic's added - a whole lot of parameters can be tweaked from mic type and placement, power amp type, Bass specific EQ plus fully user adjustable parametric EQ and all accessed quickly and easily on the unit itself! Cracking wee addition to a iem /DI rig. Price includes postage: Speaker simulator 30 Speaker cab model simulations including bass cabs 11 Mic preamp model simulations 4 Power amp model simulations Support for additional (third-party) Impulse Responses (IRs) via Mooer Studio Software Fully configurable EQ Storable up to 36 user presets Colour LCD display Menu control / rotary switch to select and edit settings 6.3mm Mono jack input / output 3.5mm Stereo headphone out Power supply via included 12 V DC power supply with 2.1 mm x 5.5 mm barrel connector and polarity (-) inside Power consumption: 300 mA Dimensions (L x W x H): 93.5 x 42 x 52 mm Weight: 150 g Free Mooer Thunderball OD/Fuzz if you want it with this pedal - not sure the OD side is 100% but the fuzz does a great job for all those 7Nation Army covers! Got a busy start to the week so can post after Wednesday18th March -
Yeah I was just thinking about AK being the gear guy in his band (as in transportation etc) and how say a fearless F110 (as he knows the brand might) have killed two birds with one stone - smaller, tight B, lighter etc. I'm sure his current stable of cabs will continue to deliver though.

10’s can tighten things up nicely and not to say they’re better. Just saying might be worth a listen down the line if you get a chance at a local shop, over at Bass Direct or with some BC brethren in the future.
-
I wasn't sure if you'd played 5's back then and to honest I've forgotten all the cabs you've been thru
-
I didn't describe 12's as woolly (as you know I use a 112 and a 212 myself) but having had the opportunity to try out some 10's recently just thinking that the natural tightness of 10's might have offered you some extra snap with the 5er and you've got some great 12's already. If you get a chance give 10's a go you mgith find they really work with the low b. Something to explore in another 3 months or so ... or whenever the 'rules' change again

Or not if you’ve spent the last 3 months getting distracted with your next purchases. I’m sure they’ll get plenty of use over the next 9 months and they all look like solids bits of gear. Our mutual friend has the VT500 amp and sang it’s praises. I thought you found the T21 stuff a bit ‘baked in’I terms of the tones but it’s useful to have in the arsenal - I know the Tone Hammer DI does some good Ampeg style tones which can be fun but I always thought the Ampeg thing was possibly too scooped in the mids for your preference? Considering the BB2 - Would you not have been better off with a 110 or 210 to help keep the B string snappy? You’d likely tighten up the whole response over the 12’s. Might be worth looking at down the line. I know the F110 (and f210) look pretty tight and you already know the quality of their kit.

I don’t subscribe to the premise of a self imposed abstinence or binge buying. If I need it or wanna try it I’ll get it. I do think it’s funny that you’re doing this during Lent though. I know folk are hoarding bog roll and canned goods because of the Corona virus but bass gear is a step too far. There’s an irony in there somewhere😀 I’ll continue to nab a bit of gear as needed or if the notion takes. I’ve not bought any new bass gear in a while but might pick up a used Stomp as the pub band have all gone IEM. Ditched my other band as they are booking gigs which involve nearly a 300 mile round trip -approx 3hrs drive each way! So less need for the full rig. I‘m not building my own basses but I have been experimenting with pick ups and was pimping a bargain purchase Classic Vibe jazz a while back but it’s long since been completed.

I was wise and got a cab which was lighter than my kettlebell 😀
-
I was gonna relist my 112 but its about 15kg - whats the cut off for light weight these days?
-
Sold!
