funkle Posted November 10, 2009 Posted November 10, 2009 [quote name='The Funk' post='647651' date='Nov 6 2009, 08:58 PM']Interesting! Love the pic, Happy. I'd like to upgrade my WTX-260 to a -500 and possibly shift my Compact and Acme B1 and replace them both with a Midget. The mini rig looks like it would actually fit in my place and be properly gig-worthy.[/quote] As an aside, let me know if you want to shift the B1. I already have a B2, and I'm looking for a B1 for small rehearsals...

Happy Jack Posted November 11, 2009 Author Posted November 11, 2009 My Barefaced rig: [attachment=36137:CIMG0235.JPG] Sounds even better than it looks, and it REALLY pissed off the lead guitarist last night.
d-basser Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) Thought I should chip in my few midget pics (since I got the other one of the first two I believe) Been gigging mine for the last couple of months and it is great, sounded fantastic on stage last night and the folk could have a good laugh when I picked up my cab and head (shuttle 6.0) in one go still stacked on each other and walked off stage. [attachment=37628:DSC00721.JPG] [attachment=37627:DSC00648.JPG] one issue: got to be careful you don't lose it, a particularly large piece of paper may obscure it p.s. not sure why the pics are sideways Edited December 3, 2009 by d-basser
Happy Jack Posted December 4, 2009 Author Posted December 4, 2009 And you even managed to find another Ashdown 810 to put it next to ...
d-basser Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Yeah that was my last gig, the sound engineers face when I showed him my "rig"was priceless but I doubt the guy with the ashdown was able to move all his gear across Glasgow using only a sack trolley and good old man power.
velvetkevorkian Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 You make pensioners carry your rig? That seems a bit harsh.
d-basser Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 They need all the spare income they can get. I am merely giving them the financial freedom they feel they have lost in recent years.
Sibob Posted December 11, 2009 Posted December 11, 2009 Alex, do you think a Midget would make a good cab for upright bass or EUB? I'm sure you've probably discussed it before but I can't remember seeing it talked about. Or am I just falling into that "12's are the best for upright" pre-conception? haha Cheers Si
alexclaber Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 I think any of the cabs will work well with acoustic or electric upright but that's very much subject to how you pick up and amplify the sound of the instrument. With an ideal pickup and amp then the more accurate the cab the better - but often bassists will get a good amplified sound by having an amp/cab whose colouration compensates for the inaccuracies of the pickup. Alex
d-basser Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) New amp to complement my midget, will get christened saturday Edited December 30, 2009 by d-basser
Born 2B Mild Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 I'd be interested in your comments about the top-end of the Midget's sound. Or, put it another way, is the tweeter really missed? This might help folks (like me!) choose wether to spend more on T'Midget or not.
d-basser Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 I found the midget pretty toppy with my genz benz shuttle 6.0, definately not lacking even with my 6 string. With the orange less so but that is the amp not the cab.
Uncle Balsamic Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) Generally how's it with a Dingwall? Edited December 30, 2009 by Uncle Balsamic
d-basser Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 Beautiful to be honest, lets the natural awesomeness of the bass shine through. The terror set flat into the midget gives a lovely warm natural sound. Smile on my face was massive. The Genz midget combo can be a little harsh that is the only thing, I think a tweeter would only make this worse.
Happy Jack Posted December 31, 2009 Author Posted December 31, 2009 [quote name='d-basser' post='696615' date='Dec 30 2009, 06:49 PM']New amp to complement my midget, will get christened saturday [/quote] We're definitely on the same wavelength, y'know. When my WTX500 got nicked last month, I ended up buying the Orange Bass Terror to replace it. If only I'd got on better with my Dingwall ...
d-basser Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Terror/Midget combo is great though. Mostly playing my Lakland 5502 at the moment as it fits my bands better, love the Dingwall but it is a strange beast so can understand folk not getting along with them.
