    still haven’t taken the plunge on anything new - I’m incredibly slow to make decisions that involve spending money 😂

    cheers - I did read through some of the posts in your thread previously. Seems to be less said about the multiscale - maybe a bit too unusual I’ve never played a multiscale and only really play short scales. But if I’m going to play 5-string, only 32” or multiscale makes sense to me.

    Also opinions sought on two Ibanez’s that have caught my interest a fair bit, just because they’re a bit odd: EHB1000S (short scale headless) EHB1005SMS (short multiscale headless) I’ve been in the mood for something… modern

    Thanks for the advice. I’m increasingly tempted by a pair of studio monitors as being a solution. I suppose part of me feels like there’s a more… recorded sound I could be getting. Not sure if that’s the way to put it. But with a practice amp at low volumes it sounds neither like a bass in a live setting nor a bass in a recorded setting. It’s fine for practice, obviously, but my practice setting is, for now, my main setting. A pair of active speakers + a preamp (I’ve been recently looking at the new Ampeg one) might sounds great. Plus, I’ve been wanting to try recording my playing as a practice tool (and for fun, of course)

    Anyone played a Chowny SWB-1 Scott Whitley Signature Fretless? I was looking around for a short scale fretless and this one popped up. Pretty decent price too. https://chownybass.com/product/swb-1-scott-whitley-signature-fretless/
  7. TeatroLirico
    yeah, sorry for summoning you for nothing!
  8. TeatroLirico
    Well indeed - I always thought 3 buttons was lacking, but I thought “well this must be it, otherwise… what is *this* setting”
  9. TeatroLirico
    Well aren’t I the total fool. How did I not know that it was all 4 buttons? That just makes no sense 😅
  10. TeatroLirico
    thanks - really sound thinking. I’ll definitely keep that in mind if I do start shopping around.

    It’s one of those cases where you don’t know what you don’t know. I say I “suspect” I could get something that offers better low volume sound because this was a rather cheap amp. Perhaps for low volume playing there really isn’t much better, but this is why I’m exploring. I haven’t owned any other amp to know better. An example is with hifi gear. Unless you’ve listened to music through a better system, you often don’t know what you’re missing and don’t consider there being anything wrong with what you have. I’ve seen this plenty of times in the past.

    Just wanted to tag @nordygrrlto weigh in!

    A question for you cat bass owners… I have always been puzzled reading about the all-in series mode on this bass. When I go all-in, my bass is definitely not louder than just using the first button pressed (parallel mode). Anyone else? Is it possible my bass is wired up differently?
  14. TeatroLirico
    thanks for the suggestions. I currently don’t gig - maybe in the future, but for now I play purely for my own pleasure. so for me, the more pleasure I can derive out of my practice set up, the better. As for other gear, I play an Acinonyx (and less often, a Sterling Stingray). I love the Acinonyx enough to be ordering a V2 - Stingray less so.
  15. TeatroLirico
    I simply suspect that I could have something that sounds much better. It’s not that there’s anything wrong with my amp per se.

    adding a pedal’s a nice idea! its significantly more limited, but I’ve been watching some reviews of the new Ampeg SGT-DI which has interested me because it very much has the sounds I’m after, and thought it would be a nice addition to add some new tones and sounds to my existing mix (+ distortion)
