Hi, I haven't had these for long (I used to own both these pedals many years ago, but bought them for the second time recently), but a recent change in musical direction has now made these obsolete. I have about 700€ invested in these and I' m looking to get back 650€ for them which seems reasonable considering the ridiculous prices the seperate pedals go for these days. I'm selling to fund some new hardware and onboard pre-amp for my main axe, so I'm not interested in trades this time, sorry.. Shipping from Belgium. Sales pitch: Up for sale is this magnificant duo of rare pedals made by Spencer at 3 Leaf Audio. The Proton is his take on the Mutron III filter and it doesn't get much funkier than this! The Doom is a unique sounding fuzz that is extremely dynamic and can get supersynthy. When combined these pedals offer a wide variety of funky and synthy sounding tones that are used by lany great artist that are looking to get someyhing "extra" out of their pedalboard (think of Stuart Zenders work with Jamiroquai, Tim Lefebre, Janek Gwizdala,...) Due to the very limited production these are very hard to come by and they keep going up in value, so finding a set like these two is quite a rare opportunity. Both pedals come with the original packaging and can be shipped worldwide. Kind regards, Don

Have a listen to 'Slade in Flame' with Jimmy Lea on bass (or any other Slade album with him playing). You might get a surprise.

Im about to move into a new flat and basically need everything 🤣 so a few odds and ends will find their way up for sale. This is a fantastic pedal, a licensed version of the vaunted Bugbrand bugcrusher which is very expensive. Its a sample rate reducer with clean blend and one of the most musical ive ever tried. It took me ages to find one used, but i lterally use it on two tunes with a band that rarely gigs, so up it goes. Its in fantastic condition with a lovely sparkly silver finish, its got velcro on the bottom, no box unfortunately. £95 incl UK only delivery

I used several PJB units live around 10 years back, generally I could hear them, but could never feel them
-
I would have thought that the latter Roxy albums with Alan Spenner would have been the ones to go for, if your interest is in great bass performances that are generally under-rated...!

Actually, it's 4. My bad.

Interesting. I just measured a driver in one of my PJB cabs. The cone (from the join with the suspension roll surround) is 3.75" in diameter, which gives a surface area of 11.05 sq in. Multiply by 4 and the cone surface area of a 4x5 cab is 44.2 sq in. A 1x10 with an 8.5" diameter cone would have a surface area of 56.75 sq in and a 1x10 with an 8" diameter cone would have a surface area of 50.28 sq in. In practice, because cones are not flat, their surface areas will be larger. So there is a difference, but it isn't enormous, especially in the case of a 1x10 with an 8" diameter cone. Edited to add: there is a coupling effect from multiple drivers in a single cab, which is also relevant. Area is not the whole story, of course. You need to factor in excursion, plus how the cone behaves as it moves. A smaller cone is likely to be more rigid and flex less, which will increase its ability to move air cleanly. Having compared my PJB cabs with various 1x10s, I can only say that they are not left wanting in either volume or bass weight. One man's meat is another's poison, of course. They do the job for me, which is all I'm bothered about.

I bought this new in April last year, using it briefly before discovering GR Bass. As such, everything is in mint condition and I still have the original boxes too so shipping is an option. This is an incredibly versatile amp, so much so that I couldn't possibly run through everything it can do here. There are lots of video reviews worth watching, but I am going to guide you to our very own Dood's review here, which gives a good deep dive into the amp. Boss Katana 500 Bass Head (£734) Boss BT-DUAL Bluetooth adapter (£45), so you can adjust settings on the fly via the app Boss GA-FC pedal (£99)l, again, for ease of switching in a live setup Boss VE-22 Vocal Processor Bag (£74), a perfect fit for the amp, power lead and a couple of speaker cables I’ve added some pictures taken today but forgot to add proof of ownership. Hopefully folks will know I am a stand up guy on here and save me the effort of retaking the pictures.

How many hours do people practice?
basexperience replied to Bassbooksbikes's topic in Theory and Technique
I’m on SBL, and I created a Google Sheets thing with automation with schedules the courses I work on. I do maybe 1 to 1.5 hours a night - sometimes it’s not courses, but prep for gigs (like tonight), but I’m always trying to improve my weak spots. I’ve played since I was 18 and I’m 55 now, but I only started really practicing with intent back in 2017 when I joined SBL. Prior to that, it’d be warmups (from an A4 sheet I created), then playing along with songs. Since 2017, I’ve learned to walk bass properly, retrained my slap from Flea to Marcus Miller (still perfecting but it’s come a huge way), and loads more. part of the driver is reviewing how far you’ve come. It’s like looking back down the mountain. -
For sale one of the original Yamaha SLB100 Silent Double Bass 3/4 Scale, Traditional Design Details, complete with original packaging and paperwork. I bought this on here a while ago, thinking I’ll get back to playing upright bass, but then the lower back pain started to kick in again and I remembered why I stopped in the first place! Listing it for what I paid for it. There are currently retailing at £8000 plus shipping from Yamaha UK, so grab yourself a bargain. See links below: https://www.yamahamusiclondon.com/SLB-100-Silent-Upright-Bass/pidKSLB100 Collection preferred, but I can get this over to the UK for collection there, or shipped (insured) within the EU. Genuine acoustic tone - play many styles Silent hollow design allows quiet practice Full frame replicates the shape of an acoustic upright Super Sensitive Supreme professional hybrid strings fitted The Yamaha SLB100 Silent Double Bass is a premium inclusion to Yamaha's Silent Bass series. This instrument features a full frame design. Closely mimicking the shape of an acoustic bass, this double bass is perfect for players who prefer the shape of an acoustic bass rather than the stick-shaped design of a lot of electric uprights. The inclusion of the frame on the lower half of the body also makes this an ideal instrument for players who like to sit when playing. The Super Sensitive Supreme strings which are included make this a great choice if you play both classical and jazz double bass. Full Description Genuine acoustic sound The SLB 100 features a hollow body just like other Yamaha Silent Basses. This makes the instrument sound just like an acoustic bass and is loved by players for this. The real wood body that is finished in a similar manner to traditional string instruments also helps enhance the tone and feel of this bass. What sets Yamaha basses apart from other electric uprights is their use of a traditional-style bridge. These bridges are cut just like those on traditional string instruments - making this bass great for both pizzicato and arco playing. Unlike other Silent Basses the SLB 100 features a full ebony tailpiece which further adds to the feel of a traditional double bass. Full frame design Other Silent Basses feature a frame which covers the top half of the instrument. This mimics the real frame of an acoustic bass whilst minimising the space. The SLB 100 takes this one step further and continues the frame all the way down the instrument. This makes the SLB 100 feel more comfortable for players who prefer acoustic basses or like to sit down when playing. You needn't fear about the portability however, as this instrument is just as portable as any other electric upright - the frame is still detachable for convenience and easy storage. Electronic integration This instrument offers the feel and sound of an acoustic bass while including features which are only possible with electronic instruments. Tone shaping is possible with the tone control and the volume can be controlled as well. During rehearsals you can ensure your bass won't make sudden noises if knocked. For personal practice the headphone jack enables you to plug straight into your instrument without needing additional gear. You can also play backing tracks through the auxiliary input to play along to. Yamaha Yamaha are well known for their superb electronic instruments. The Silent Strings series also includes violins, violas and cellos. As well as this, they produce the Silent Brass series of practice mutes, allowing you to plug in headphones for practicing brass instruments like the trumpet and tuba. For classical guitar players, they produce a Silent Series guitar too Specifications Size: String length 1,054mm (41 1/2") Neck: Maple Body: Spruce/mahogany Frame: Beech (detachable) Finger board: Rosewood Peg: Custom worm gear type Tailpiece: Ebony Bridge: Maple (height adjustable) Pickup: 2 piezo pickups Strings: Super sensitive supreme Electric controls: Volume, tone control, aux-in volume In/out jacks: Phones/line out, aux in Power supply: 9V battery 1pc. or AC adapter (optional) Battery life: Manganese: Approx. 12 hrs Alkaline: Approx. 24 hrs Weight: 10kg (22 lbs.) Accessories: 9V battery 1pc. Trades I would consider, pre EB Music Man Stingray, Sabre or Cutlass I / II (cash adjustment if necessary)

How many hours do people practice?
bass_dinger replied to Bassbooksbikes's topic in Theory and Technique
Depends on the instrument, and my commitments. Bass? Hardly at all now, because I rarely play with others. However, I have a gig mid-December, and I am working on the material, to be stage-ready for Sunday's rehearsal. So, I expect to put in about 3 hours over the weekend. For piano, I practice more regularly (because the lessons are my weekly gig, and I need to be ready, for them). That regular practice amounts to perhaps 30 to 60 minutes a day, and I am seeing a measurable improvement simply because I have targets and objectives. -
It's getting dark out there earlier and earlier. Luckily, I got just the thing.

Cucumber Slumber is seldom mentioned when Weather Report (and highly regarded bass lines) are discussed. That big fat funky line is life-affirmingly good!

Only seven months to go, must be time to start an attendee/ gear list 😁 @Richard R - Brawley 5 string, V-bass gear, amp and confusion. @SpondonBassed @jazzyvee @Jabba_the_gut @pantherairsoft @Machines @Geek99 @howdenspur @Frank Blank If anyone is up for helping out on the day then let me know. We'll divvy up jobs closer to the day. Last bash @Andyjr1515 gave us an excellent lesson on how to set up a bass properly. I have an idea for a different guest speaker this year, but I'e not made contact yet. Any suggestions welcome.
