Double Bass Avalon U5 DI
- Thread starter bassturtle
- Start date
Steve C, I feel your pain--I has a QSC PLX and the avalon in a four space rack and I got sick and tired of carrying it around.
I get the U5 and the focuss, plus all the other junk--cables, tuner, extension cord--in one of these
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
It has a shoulder strap and is very easy to deal with.

Another interesting alternative would be the 2-channel Epifani Quest II preamp, which Epifani recently discontinued, and they are now dumping them for $499, shipped, on MF. This is a crazy low price for a very good preamp (which happens to sort of sound like the U5, but with more tone controls and two switchable channels).
Tom.

Tom, thanks for pointing out yet another option. I think I gotta hear the U5 for myself though first.
Do you happen to know why Epifani discontinued the Quest II's?
Wait ... wait ... it's coming to me, almost telepathically ...

Why is the Quest 2 being discontinued?
While the Quest 2 offered the user an amazing device for recording instruments, it was decided that the Quest was too large to easily move around and the 2 channel design was a bit redundant in a multi-track recording environment.
In discussing "real world" applications for this type of technology with our Advisory Board we've come to the conclusion that a "desk top" device would offer more solutions to the challenges bassists face when recording. We are currently working on employing the Quest technology in a form factor more suited to the demands placed on the modern recording musician.
If I want to buy the Quest 2 how can I get one?
Through an exclusive arrangement with Musician's Friend you can purchase a Quest at an extremely reduced price. Quantities are limited and once the units are sold they will be gone. Check their website for details.
Will the Quest 2's that are sold be covered under warranty?
Of course! Epifani will cover any and all warranty claims for the products we sell. Parts will be available and should the need arrive to service the unit, we'll repair or replace the components in a timely fashion.

I'll have to check, but I think that you can only use one channel at a time.
