  1. [quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1497363443' post='3317544'] Which PT are you going for? [/quote] Metro 16 I think. Chorus, Overdrive, Compressor, Tuner and Providence Dual Bass Station.
  2. [quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1497358012' post='3317503'] I suppose so, it's a bit cheaper, although for a bit more the DC5 does give you more juice and an 18V option in around the same footprint, should you find your board expanding in future! Hotrox is the best place I know to get em btw, they stock all the accessory cables too: [url="http://www.hotroxuk.com/guitar-fx-pedals-dunlop-ehx-fulltone-hot-rox-uk/cioks-power-supplies.html"]http://www.hotroxuk....r-supplies.html[/url] [/quote] Thanks again. While I am sure there will be a temptation to expand, for now I think the Adam will do just fine
  3. Presumably I could also use the Cioks "Adam" and daisy chain two of the 9Vs?
  4. Thanks chaps. DC5 looks very good: a bit more expensive than the GigRig solution, but very clean and tidy, and will fit under the PT board.
  5. So, building up a new board and need the following pedals powered: [u]9V DC centre negative[/u] 1. 17 mA 2. 22 mA 3. 25 mA 4. 90 mA [u]12v DC centre negative[/u] 1. 80 mA What's out there? Ideally I'd like something that can mount on the board itself and power both voltages. Thanks Gareth
  6. As someone who has used the Radial Bigshot i/o, the Radial Bassbone and the Providence Dual Bass Station to regularly switch between basses, I think that [i]should[/i] do the job of balancing input gains between instruments very nicely. No onboard EQ of course, but presumably you will use your basses to deal with that. How it sounds, though, you can only tell by trying....
  7. I bought a tuner and Pedaltrain from Jon. He was very patient with me while I chopped and changed my mind. Smooth deal
  8. I bought a pedal off Dan. Smoooooth deal. Happy to recommend.
  9. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Just bought this used through BC, but having splurged on a few pedals lately I need to save some space on the bigger board I now need![/font][/color] [url="http://artecsound.com/effect/se-ptn.htm"][b]ARTEC BIG DOTS[/b][/url] Used but in good overall condition. Please note that the single central dot light, when you're in tune, doesn't work, but the sharp and flat ones either side do, as do the large letter LEDs below, are fine. True Bypass.

  10. Just bought this used through BC but having splurged on a few pedals lately I need a bigger board! 14 in x 5.5 in Velcro attached to the front, some minor marks from gaffa tape on the back. Includes case, but the straps are missing. Hopefully Jon won't mind me pinching his picture [b]Firm on £28 posted[/b]
  11. [quote name='thegummy' timestamp='1496835964' post='3314157'] I checked in the pockets and they were there! I feel so silly but happy that I don't have to buy anything. Cheers mate for pointing that out [/quote] My work is done [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?&app=forums&module=extras&section=legends#"][/url]
  12. [quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1496770811' post='3313775'] @walbassist. What difference is the presence of the 5" speakers adding to your overall sound? [/quote] So the new rig had a good workout on Saturday night: a beer festival in a college canteen (i.e. a long, bright space with a low ceiling). Volume: amp on about 9pm. Tons of volume on tap, and the headroom running at 1k was wonderful, with plenty in the setup to let the sound breathe. EQ: set totally flat. It really didn't need any adjustment at all. We were set up on a low hollow temporary stage, so I was worried the cabs sat flat on the stage might mean the sound was too boomy, but it wasn't at all. I was playing my fretless and an upright, switching between them using a Providence Dual Bass Station, also set flat. The tone out of each was, as I've said before, very true to their inherent tone. I think if anything the 5" drivers add some extra presence in the mids at higher volumes, but not in a harsh or nasal way. In fact same for the bass, which was big without being boomy. I tamed the top end of my fretless using the tone control on the bass, but only a touch. Even though the cabs were firing at my legs I had no problem hearing myself, so dispersion was good - again a benefit of the 5" I suspect. I'm really delighted with the setup. I'm also especially glad I bought both the combo and the cab before the prices went up! They aren't the lightest cabs out there these days, but the tone more than makes up for their being in the mid-range of cab weights.
  13. I thought this was a thread about cricket
  14. If the bass was new I'm surprised there are no straps included. Have you checked inside all the pockets?
  15. I bought a PSU from Jon. Completely pain free transaction with good comms and prompt delivery. Happy to deal with him again
  16. Wow, what a rig. I bet that sounds glorious.
  17. Did you sell the big dots tuner Higgie?
  18. [quote name='CameronJ' timestamp='1496592362' post='3312526'] Any reason why you haven't stacked them? Other than the reduction in surface area for cold beverages of course [/quote] They sounded fine side by side, so I didn't think it was needed.
  19. I sold a gig bag to Sean. It was a simple transaction but his comms were perfect and payment was made in good time. I would happily transact with him again.
  20. [quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1496407452' post='3311171'] Not sure, but I know they only had limited UK distribution with Bass Gear who stopped stocking them despite Phil using one himself. [/quote] [url="https://www.soundunlimited.co.uk/categories/amplifiers/carvin"]Sound Unlimited[/url] are their UK dealer now.
  21. Thanks, that's what I thought but always good to get a second opinion.
  22. So, at gigs where I double up I use a Providence Dual Bass Station to switch between my upright and electric, with the signal from the DBS going to my amp. I also use a chorus on the electric and a compressor on the upright, but should they go before or after the DBS?
