Dumb phone!

I have an EHX bass soul food which works either as a drive pedal or a boost pedal. You can blend wet/dry and it also has a treble control. I love it. It's fairly inexpensive too.

I had an Ampeg BA115 which handled a similar situation to yours with ease. It was 100 watts and a fairly easy carry. I would buy another. The tone cut well through three guitars and a hard hitting drummer.

Some of the features on this amp are brilliant. Silent record, switchable power both brilliant. Sounds pretty good on YouTube videos, which are always hard to judge I know.

Are those hollow body type basses, like Gretsch, light because they are hollow, or are they just as heavy?

Sorry, can't remember the 70's!

That is lovely. Needs tort.

What about an Orange OB1?

This is designed for guitar. Anyone plugged a bass into one? Would be an even better gigbag carry than a proper class D head if it worked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDtDRfIUyv0

What type of woodwork joint did you use for the slot port at the sides and with the bracing? Could it be vibrating at certain frequencies?

They come across as such grounded normal human beings dont they. Mund you, kotzen wears his shorts over his trousers. SUPERHERO? The Sheehan sig pedal looms interesting, and amazing it is no 2 product for them.

Super. Good news. Now to find some funds before they adjust pricing!

Thanks Chris, yeah it is amazing the difference a pound or so can make. My back issue, i am sure, is related to kayaking, and my next step is to work on my core strength to i can cintinue to enjoy my hobbies and my famly....oh yeah, and get back to work. You are right, most of the lightweight basses seem to be costly, especially for the money i might recoup from selling on my L2000.

Thanks for the wealth of infirmation folks. It is appreciated and i will look at those options. Itnis my lower back that is my issue, seems that i experienced a prolapsed disc on Sunday and i am still in bed 4 days later. NEED to get out today. Anyway, one option i am considering is to have my Precsion as my one and only bass and to sell my L2000 and use funds to get a low powered valveamp for recording and rehearsal. It would mostly stay in one place so moving it around wouldnt be an issue. Options, options. I will look at all of these bass options you guys habe kindly posted. Now, how to sell, my GnL...where do i pay my money?

Has anyone had any experience with bax-shop.co.uk a price on there seems to good to be true.

[quote name='RandomBass' timestamp='1378805153' post='2204747'] Yes the LB30 has a DI on the back. It is taken from its own tap off the output transformer, so you get the full glory of the those output tubes. I've used it a couple of times and it works just fine if you need to add a little of your sound into the PA. I'm assuming the CTM30 is the same - Captain Ashdown will be able to confirm that. Cheers Geoff [/quote] Is it possible to get a DI out fitted aftermarket?

Where are the pictures....how many times does one need asked?!

Having done a bit more basic research on this, it looks like the CTM 15 does have a single 12ax7 as a preamp. Then two valves for the power section.

So, Sunday night i had a huge back problem. I was left stranded half way between the toilet and the living room, hangjng on the lower part of our staircase unable to move. Doc eventually arrived and knocked me out with a shot and i fell asleep for 18 hours. Woke up on Monday evening and it seems i need to rethink what i hang around my neck. I also have some enforced downtime due to said back issue, off work so time to think. SO, What i am thinking is sell or trade my G&L L2000 trubute and find a lighter bass. But for what? I have P bass which is way lighter so i dont need anything that does the P Bass thing. Would like something that does what my P doesn't. Might even consider an acoustic for home use, writing, etc... So, just looking for suggestions based on that info... cheers, Paws

I am saving for a Yamaha THR10. If you're not gigging it may well do what you need. Designed mostly for guitar but does bass too. Also can plug in MP3 device, use as USB interface, change effects and comes with a version of CuBase too. It's only 10watts mind, so ain't gonna blow your windows.

A bit heavier than I usually like but it all ties in sweetly. Singers voice is not an issue for me, I would say it is a strength. He has great range. How did you record your bass? I am slightly jealous of the tone you have managed to put down there. Mine is s few threads up, and the bass on yours comes through with real authority. We mixed and mastered ours as well but sometimes my bass seems to get a bit lost in the mix. Your playing is a real stand out too. Well done.

Looks like some of the bassers in America have been getting their hands on this now and posting reviews on That Other Forum. Seems like it is going down a storm. Adding to my GAS big time.

Beggars and Theives self titled album has one of the best opening intros to a song ever. Can't remember the name of the first song though!

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1445960786' post='2895721'] He is a unique player. I've tried his pick technique and it's not easy. To make matters worse he also excels at fingerstyle, slap and chordal work. On top of that he comes over as a top fella. I hate him [/quote] Can you describe his pick technique for a mere mortal. I have looked at as many of his videos as possible and I am in awe of him. Definitely one of my favourite bass players. And definitely my favourite bass player who isn't in a band I like.
