    No demo yet, but I do need to do one as I have two Franz basses (I have a fretted 5 too). My bass is a standard Sirius with upgraded maple top, whereas the RG model has a Rheingold pickup and no volume control. All Franz basses are chambered and use thermo treated woods, so they are really light and very resonant. My fretless is 8.25lbs, so nice and light. It really sings, has no dead spots on it at all, and is just a joy to play.

    Mert, please let us know what you think of it. Especially curious to know what the "feedback" knob does?

    Brilliant bit of kit. The HPF on each channel is so useful.

    I sold an amp to Phil. Instant payment and terrific comms. It's all good here
  5. franzbassist
    Superb cabs.

    It's always been unlined for me. Lines on the board are more confusing to my eyes, but I totally get that they work for others!
  7. franzbassist
    Indeed it is
  8. franzbassist
    All of them

    A big fat +1 to this. The La Bella white nylon strings are fab.

    I had one just like this, in a 5 Star Case just like this!

    Bought at Christmas and mint condition. Never even been out of the house. If you are unfamiliar with this item, they are designed so the amp is left inside the bag when in use, as both ends unzip and there are vent holes on the side so the fan can do its thing. Simple but very effective. Best price new is £54, which is what I paid. Get this one for £44 posted. Thanks for looking. Gareth

    That's wonderful news on both counts Nick. So pleased for you

    Not sure which one you ordered specifically, but the Big BladeMan 4 is only £135 in Bass Direct!
  14. franzbassist
    I would very much like this.
  15. franzbassist
    and possibly even ....
  16. franzbassist
    Or even a Stubby 60, stacking two on top of each other...
  17. franzbassist
    Understood
  18. franzbassist
    Indeed. What scale length do you need? I only ask as I have some 38" winding La Bella white nylons for sale if you fancy giving them a go?
  19. franzbassist
    La Bella, Galli, GHS and Rotosound also do nylon flats. There are probably more out there too.

    They are quite regular contributors on BC. Agree it's good service on their part
  21. franzbassist
    Starting to be listed in shops at £499. A feedback control though?
  22. franzbassist
    There are quite a few out there if you look around. I personally think the best one in terms of price/quality ratio is the Gator ProGo (£145 at Rich Tone, but may be cheaper elsewhere). Build quality is top notch and it's quite light. But I agree with Lozz: while they're a great idea in theory, in "real world" use they are actually quite cumbersome, and heavy to wear for any length of time.

    The new Little Marcus could be very interesting in this respect, as it has different EQ points EQ1 ULTRALOW: Level ±16 dB (Freq. 65Hz) LOW: Level ±16 dB (Freq. 180Hz) MID: Level ±16 dB (Freq. 500 Hz) HIGH MID: Level ±16 dB (Freq. 1.4 KHz) HIGH: Level ±16 dB (Freq. 3.8 KHz) EQ2 OLD SCHOOL: Variable LOW PASS From 20KHz to 200Hz MILLERIZER: 5-12 KHz BAND PASS Filter (Level 0 /+10 dB)

    The Markbass Traveller 123 cab is superb. It has power handling in spades, and the combination of 12" and 5" drivers plus a high quality tweeter means it's very articulate. It's compact too, albeit quite weighty.
  25. franzbassist
    Projected RRP of £450 too. Could be very popular.
