Grumpybass Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 So here it is - compact and lightweight but powerful and sounds great ! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scalpy Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Finally made the move to in ears and had a few months to get used to it. Generic shure model, as recommended by Cory Wong! They have to be in exactly right to be their most effective and I can’t smile as the bottom end disappears completely! But will eventually get some proper molded jobs now I’ve discovered how much I like playing this way. The pre has been in action for about half that time, but as a long time Markbass user it seemed a good choice (I shopped blind- or is that deaf?) and it has quite a pronounced character but I’ve dialled my perception in now and really like it. There was a debacle involving empty delivery boxes from the retailer etc but I’ll save that for another thread. I’ve just finished a run of show gigs under ‘normal circumstances’, amps and cabs and tinnitus, and have to say I’m another in-ear convert. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereoplayer Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) Outside gig, large pavilion. Hot and sticky out. The rig and bass sounded great! I used a cab for a stool…Ha! Edited August 7, 2022 by stereoplayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Quilter BB800 hiding on top just in case and me playing my Cort A4 being mesmerised by the intriguing carpet 😂 (Oh and mudpup junior hiding side stage after helping his old man shift everything as my back was broken. He's busy on his socials rather than appreciating his old mans rock godness) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsyBean Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Just picked up a BB2 cab from @walshyand took his advice to try running an Ashdown ABM EVOIII through it, and it does sound awesome! Might have to rethink gig gear now and rack up my trusty GK MB800 as backup, or as in the pic, slave it off the ABM to drive another cab! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonse Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) Well this sounded a bit nice. Heavy tone without all the weight. Edited August 18, 2022 by Jonse 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarshallBTB Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Had a change of cab for something more compact. Really impressed, especially for the relatively low cost compared to similar output cabs. Winner ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my extensive sifting through pres (and according to personal taste), some of the finest of the valve and SS varieties This might be the year I break down and get a Monique, I’ve been threatening to do so for a while now. I mostly play mid sized rooms and often am not in the PA so I have to fill the room. I’ve been using a Bergantino rig , a little Forte head and two HDN cabs , a 112 & 210 , we’re not loud so I often just use a single cab. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was always running nearly flat out and overdriven of course so great for rock but less versatile for other genres in the band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a P bass with flats and a sansamp and it gives me that chewy tone I've always wanted. I have the gain at around 11 and the master volume at about 9 - plenty loud enough! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a great setup , I use mine with a big baby 2 which is just right for me , a while back out of curiosity I tried my Ampeg preamp pedal through it, it really gave it a fat tone and the bass is so deep, I’ve also got a sansamp but I’ve never tried that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okusman Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Straightforward! Genz Head bass has seen 500+ gigs. Usually a head, sometimes a DI. Clean and clear. Been round a few blocks with cabs, but the Vanderkleys are very good for me. Clear and with the ability to handle and give out real guts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman68 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I’m off up to Scotland for a few dates this week. Here’s my rig.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msb Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Two practice rigs , one at home , one at the in-laws (looking after my mother-in-law) . Home rig … SWR Headlite into an Ampeg210AV, fan in the SWR is a bit noisy , but tolerable. And at the in-laws , Darkglass Exponent 500 into a little Phil Jones C2. I had been using a GK MB200 with the C2 , GK might move home in place of the SWR … we’ll see. I really love that little GK. Also have a handy GK MB150 combo when I have to go out for rehearsal. Still a great little amp! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
