artisan Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 in the very near future i'm planning on fitting a fingerboard clicky to my bass,i already have a bass max,i will need a small 2 channel mixer to go with this but i can't seem to find anything that looks suitable,any ideas guys ? another question,i normally play through a boss bass eq pedal & don't need/use a pre amp' however i've heard the clicky will have a much lower output than my bass max,so will i need a mixer with built in pre amp ? Gollihur music do a rockabilly upgrade kit that has everything i would need but it's not over cheap & lets face it i am a Yorkshire man (i.e. tight bastard) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artisan Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) that's bloody mega,Rev you are a gent if we ever meet i'll buy you a pint or two,damn thats just what i need,top bloke. the strings look pretty interesting,what are they like ? many thanks. as for my clicky i do like the look of the K&K one that Gollihur have,mainly due to the jack socket being the same type as my bass max which will look nice & neat,can you think of a cheaper one i can use with the same type of socket mounting.

artisan Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 hi Keith,i spotted that looks interesting but i want to keep using my bass max as it gives the exact sound i want. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRev Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 My pleasure mate! The strings seem pretty snazzy. Only got the G and D on at the moment - nice old school pizz tone and you can slap the arse off them. I'm new to slappage so I don't have a clicky and know bog all about them. You could have a wander over to doublebaschat.com and ask them - that's where all the slappers hang out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulKing Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I hope the superior kit turns out well, it's a new thing. There are some well proven amp-top dual channel mixer preamps, Dtar solstice is popular. For tailpiece mounted, k+k make one that is widely used, it's a fiddle though, and I don't think it's quite the sound bob fillings credits it. Lr baggs mixpro is small, easy to use, beautifully transparent, a much better bit of kit for mixing clicky and bridge pups on the tailpiece. I've given up on blenders now, use 2 wireless sets to send to independent eqs, then input separately to amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
