  1. Past hour
  2. Hi , just confirming the cab is ported at the bottom. About 3" in height and runs three quarters of the length of the cab approximately. Cheers
  3. Debasement and devaluation of the creative act. As well as part time music I work as a writer and that field has similarly been smashed. I’m currently training to be a counsellor. Read into that what you will. Hope things improve for you.
  4. For sale, My Tecamp 4x10 cab in very good used condition and perfect working order. I have been using this for a good while but its not getting the use now sadly. Super punchy sound and capable of handling some serious volume. Adjustable tweeter hidden inside the carry handle to limit accidents! Gives an added versatility to this already great cab. light for a full size 4x10, 30kg according to the manual. Front ported, with a very strong metal grill and excellent build quality round off this German made belter. Additional items in picture 2 are for size reference only. Although the Tecamp 1x15 is coordinating sale separately on this very site. Postage possible at a push please pm to discuss. Cheers.
  5. @simonlittle Yep, this was my fear. I do wish the Tobias brand was sold on to a company that could make them to a higher standard. From the photos on the Gibson website it does look the killer B is a small step up from the Toby line (Better pickups etc) but certainly not worth the £1300 price tag
  6. This is my brand new replacement SGT-DI from Ampeg as first unit had minor fault but parts were taking so long they sent a new unit. it’s just got too many bells and whistles for me and don’t need all the cab sims etc. I’m a simple player, too many choices overwhelms but having a SVT and B15 in one box is great. Also that driven tube sound is fab. poss trade for top end compressor/di - Cali etc
  7. A ski jump is the endof the neck turning up a little, as we all know. On a typical 19 or 20 fret neck the attachment screws are about 3 frets apart. Any bending force would be due to the screws between the shim and the screws at the other end. If you are worried, rather than worrying about wedges, just make your shim long enough that the screws penetrate it. The neck is then under no bending force.
  8. I went along to the Gibson shop to try out what they had in stock a few months ago and wasn’t impressed at all. Build quality, feel, sound… not great I’m afraid. Tried a Classic 4, Growler 5 and one other one (can’t remember which model; one of the cheaper ones)… I was excited too when I heard Gibson were starting to produce the Tobias basses again. Oh well..
  9. These are phenomenal. Fair price too. Good luck with the sale Dan!
  10. For sale, a Hipshot Kickass bridge (4 string) in chrome. This has been hanging around in a drawer with lots of other bridges and bits and bobs. It looks new though I suspect it's been fitted previously (but not by me). It comes with the adjustment key, 5 screws and the replacement/extra saddles shown in the image. It's a standard replacement Fender pattern. The bridges sometimes come with a couple of springs but the latter weren't supplied when I bought the bridge. I should be able to ship for around £3.00 in the UK. Any questions please just ask
  11. Selling my set of original pre-CBS reverse wound Precision/Jazz bass tuners. I bought these for a project bass about 10 years ago. I think the ferrules were included at the time, but I can't confirm the age of the ferrules or the screws. If there are any obvious ways to verify the age of the ferrules, please let me know. Any questions, please ask.
  12. Thanks, Mokl. I was running two as a vertical stack – best live sound I've ever had!
  13. I cycle past there most weeks while outwith my mountain biking mates, luckily I live in Bream so not far away, it looks great inside from the photos. Best of luck to the owners.
  14. Butting in here but try Elixirs on fretless. Not only do they last ages but I think they’re a little more forgiving on the neck and the nickels in particular have a warm even sound.
  15. PM’d.
  16. Hi folks Another lovely bass sadly having to go. This is a great active modern J bass with some stand-out features. The bass has a zero fret (like Sandbergs), a bone nut, 24-fert neck with deep cut away in body for easy access and a very nice "heelless" joint for even better access, a tilted back headstock and noiseless pickups. The bass is in excellent condition and comes with the original high-quality Cort gig bag. I have also added some soft-touch control knobs with tell tales as the original fit items are fine but you can't tell at a glance where the settings are. The controls are: Volume (pull for preamp bypass) Blend Treble Mids (pull for mid frequency shift) Bass The full spec is here: Specifications · Code: NJS-4 WHT · Body: Alder · Construction: Bolt-On · Neck: Hard Maple 3pcs · Fretboard: Hard Maple · Radius: 12" (305mm) · Frets: 24 w/ Zero Fret · Scale: 34" (864mm) · Inlay: White Pearloid Block · Tuners: Hipshot Ultralite · Bridge: MetalCraft M4 · Pickups: Cort Voiced Tone VTB-ST · Electronics: Bartolini® Elrick NJS Special Preamp · Hardware: Chrome · Strings: D'Addario EXL165 · Special: Bone Nut Pickups The new Voiced Tone VTB-ST single-coil pickups perfectly complement the big robust sound of the bass with modern clarity, transparency and vintage warmth while eliminating noise with its hum-cancelling design. VTB-ST Specification · Magnet: Ceramic 8 Bar · Coil: AWG43 · Turns: 5,200 / 4,800 · Resistance: 6.5k ohm · Inductance: 3.9H Description · Character of the legendary J-style pickup with total elimination of the noise · Ferrite Ceramic 8 magnet provides the legendary clear and transparent J-style sound · AWG43 insulation, classic and time-proven materials and winding methods · Different amount of turns on first/second strings and on third/fourth/(fifth) strings for specific emphasis on high-end and low-end sonic character of the bass £550 OVNO please. Collection or meet up preferred, but may be able to post if I can find a box. Here are some pics. The second pic looks a bit blue in tone, not sure why. I think the rest look to be a good representation:

  17. Sale only at the minute ideally but could pontentially consider trades (via pm obviously) Possible trades of interest - Mesa d800+ or similar , barefaced three10 or supertwin t
  18. Have a bump on me - these things are awesome
  19. But in these cases we're always talking about solid bodied instruments with bolt-on necks that have been fitted with shims. And the fact that it can happen in instruments that don't match these criteria points to poor construction rather than the fitting of the shim. From what you have posted it appears to me that the main culprits are poor construction of the neck or poor quality wood used for it coupled with a truss rod design that stops significantly short of the end of the fingerboard. Fitting a shim to an instrument with these attributes may compound the problem but physics says it will happen anyway with or without the presence of a shim. Also I doubt whether a fret at the body end of the neck being 0.005" too tall will affect anyone other than those who favour a very low action and regularly play above the 15th fret.

  22. With original box, sticker and quick start guide Little bit of fluffy velcro on end which is where I used to stick a battery when using it with my battery powered PJB set up It's mini size pedal, super versatile unit, especially if you really understand compression and are prepared to spend time making your own set up(s), Doods review on YT covers it well; software and preloads available from TC website And it is simple to use, just one knob, in conjunction with the phone app playing a tone through the pickup on your instrument to switch between the many 'name' and general preloads, find the one you like and adjust how much, ideal for when the band or the Sound Engineer says have you got compression/you should have compression Price include UK postage with Royal Mail 48

  23. 2 superb bass cabs In great condition, that have served me well but dont get used anymore and need a new home. Everything works without any issues, a couple of hex nuts missing off the back but can be easily replaced for pence if you really need to. Comes with 2 Hotcovers protective covers worth over £100. Would be interested in a trade for a Fender Mustang Bass. Specs Ashdown ABM 410H 600w 8ohm Ashdown ABM 115 300w 8ohm
