Two Notes Le Bass Players Club

Glad I could be of help.

That power supply has been v reliable and sits lovely under my small pedal board. Don't want to teach you to suck eggs but mount it the opposite side to the Le Bass to save on noise!

Here is my pedal board everything runs off 12v which is what I wanted. Plus I finally found knobs that are better than the stock ones. Not perfect but much better.
 
Hey all. I have a Le bass and love the tone I get through head phones but sound seems to open up with amp and cab. The head is a Markbass 250 into a Fearful 1212/6/1 also run a Taurus tux in front. I know the amp is lacking, would I benefit from just going into a power amp or another bass amp like the quilter 800. My basses are all Ibanez rb800s if that matters. Thanks for any input!!

The Quilter works really well with full range cabs like the Fearful because of the HPF effect of the Depth control. Cutting this allows you to use the bass controls on the Le Bass to give you a full sound without swamping the low end.

I run mine through a Little Mark III + 2x10 with the cabsim on through the Le Basses DI out, then compensate with a strange eq on the head (lots of bass cut extra hi's) The cabsim is a bit dark but still sounds better then without it unless i'm playing really clean.

You mentioned that these new knobs are not quite perfect.

My guess is perhaps that they do not cover all the way down the pot shaft like the originals do?

Please elaborate. Thanks!

They are a drop short but that isn't a issue I'm mostly referring to the visibility in low light. My compressore is easier to read in low light and while I hardly ever mess with the compressore's settings I do tweak the Le Bass durning gigs.

OK, I'm in need of a DI/preamp and have had my eye of the Le Bass for several weeks now. I mostly need a clean sound from the Le Bass, but am a bit concerned about not having the mid control on channel A. Does the pedal have enough headroom to get a clean sound while running through channel B only?
