bassace Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 [quote name='TPJ' timestamp='1495826627' post='3306953'] I couldn't get on with the One 10 on DB. Too dark and not enough detail. [/quote] Have to agree, although my One10 works well with my stick and mag pickup. Super Midget is completely different though. Works very well with DB and it's nice and light for a 12".

keeponehandloose Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Ibanez Promethean p5110. 250w 1x10". dont know why but it just sound right with DB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I use a Phil Jones Suitcase with the additional 4b cab. No it's not light, and no it's not a looker in everyone's eyes, but it just works for all my needs. Sound pretty damn good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickA Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Phil Jones Flightcase here (BG150). Sounds fantastic with an acoustic bass guitar, sounds very good (as in transparent) with a double bass ... IF you have a nice pickup and get it in the right place on the bridge. It is NOT terribly loud. I was playing it with three sax players, a drummer, a grand piano, two guitarists and a tenor horn the other month and wasn't always sure it was turned on. But everyone else said they could hear me, so "louder than it sounds" apparently. I may still supplement it with the powered cab (PB300). But if you're playing in a jazz trio it would be fine alone. There are better amps for electric bass I think (lacks "heft"), but it's still pretty good for that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mart3442 Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 [quote name='bassace' timestamp='1495796667' post='3306670'] But would you want a GK MB...................? But seriously, that was my sole amp for many years, went all over UK , Europe and flew to Lanzarotte and Gran Canaria. I've still got its flight case. But I think we've moved on a bit since. [/quote] I've used Acoustic Image, Aer, you name it. I always come back to this little combo, it just seems to work with my setup. Are you interested in offloading the flightcase by any chance?

mart3442 Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1495804103' post='3306748'] Assuming you mean the MB112 or similar ([url="http://www.richtonemusic.co.uk/products/gallien_krueger_mb_112.asp?gclid=CjwKEAjwpJ_JBRC3tYai4Ky09zQSJAC5r7ruKyf48kVHahW83IyrM5BNI6U3jBB_DmZIFDlacMpXzxoC7yXw_wcB"]http://www.richtonem...MpXzxoC7yXw_wcB[/url]) then that weighs 30lbs. Not backbreaking, but as heavy as the suitcase that most of us would take for a fortnight's holiday. Most typically for a DB gig I'll have an Aguilar TH350 and a Barefaced OneTen. The TH350 weighs three (count them, three) pounds. The OneTen weighs 15lbs. I didn't have to push too hard to find a more portable rig, frankly. [/quote] The GK weighs nothing in real terms (11kg at a push....). I'd rather carry one small combo and a Bass than a small head and a small cab and a bass.......

razze06 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Phil Jones briefcase for quieter gigs or with good PA, or the suitcase with extension cab for louder ones. I just like the natural transparent tone so much I have sold practically all my other amps and use PJB for both electric and double bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Acoustic Image Clarus head and Ten2Ex cab for double bass, adding a PJB cab for a little extra poke on electric gigs. Sounds lush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
