I am looking for a gk mb150 for small gigs if you are selling/upgrading let me know thanks

thanks, the room is far from perfect but not too bad at the moment with my dynamic mics (57 and 58) - through trial and error I've some decent mic placements with the current setup. a little on the dry side, maybe. I cannot convert the room into a full-time studio (one step too far for my...

Hi all I'd like to improve basic home recording setup and move it to the next level. I've done quite a lot of scouting around on the web so I think I know roughly what I am after, but I'd really appreciate advice and recommendations from people have used or compared the mics mentioned...

thanks - that is very useful!

thanks, that is reassuring - did you take any extra measure, like taking the bidge off, or just put in the case as normal? its a laminate bass so a bit more robust than a solid anyway

flying from london gatwick to toulouse

Need a double bass for a gig in Toulouse, France on Tuesday 7 August. Has anyone hired or know of a place in Toulouse (or nearby) I could rent a double bass? Looking into options to take a bass on the place, but would be easier to rent locally thanks! James

I might need to fly a double bass to Europe for a couple of gigs. does anyone have experience of travelling with flight cases who could help with the following? Here's the situation - I've found a place which hires out flight cases which are built like tanks and weigh about 40kg with the...

PB+J - thanks for that I generally play in small-ish venues, plus a few festivals. It's with a 7-piece band, but all acoustic, so no drums to compete with, but still often have trouble hearing myself. Listening back to recordings, it usually sounds ok out the front but it would help my piece of...

I've found this thread really useful as I've been looknig for a good small amp to use as a stage monitor with upright bass to help with tuning etc - just the sort of issues you are describing Going back to the original post - setting aside the postioning on the stage - how did you find the...

thanks Phil - I'll look up that other thread - have you tried the Mackie with double bass?

thanks for the info in reply to how much is my budget - I was trying to spend under £200 (maybe equivalent to $300) this seems to be just under the threshold at which you get a decent amp! I tried a few today, comparing a GK MBS 150W to a few cheaper models of various makes and there was...

thanks for the tip - that GK looks nice - I'll check it out, although its pushing my price range a bit & perhaps more power than I need anyway (I've also been recommended the Phil Jones cub amps and they look great but WAY outside my price range!) Has anyone had experience of the cheaper end...

hi all I am looking for a portable bass amp to use as an on stage monitor with my acoustic upright bass. Does anyone have an recommendations? I use a realist pickup which usually goes straight into the PA. I currently use my old bass guitar amp (a laney linebacker) for onstage sound...
