    It's the same with Elvis and Beatles memorabilia. It's only valuable to those who have memorability.

    Which was my point about being valuable to Gen Xers for maybe the next 10 years and then lose value.

    I agree. The better preamps are not as important in live settings, for the most part (in my opinion), while the additional functionality of the X32 rack over the XR18 seems like a more useful thing to have.

    It's a multitrack recorder, using SD cards as storage. 16 tracks total, can record 8 inputs at once, and supports an unlimited number of virtual tracks / alternative takes (well, limited by the space in the card!). Built-in stereo microphones. Wide range of on-board FX. Power supply included, but it can also run on AA batteries. It can also work as an interface to control a DAW on the computer. https://www.zoom.co.jp/node/68/1000

    2nd Gen Focusrite Solo USB interface, 2-in/2-out. Can be powered directly via USB. Great condition, light home use only.

    Independently footswitchable clean boost + VLE ('vintage loudspeaker emulation' low pass filter) and VPF ('variable pre-shape filter', a bit like a 'contour' control, scooping mids while boosting low/highs). Standard TS output plus balanced DI output (XLR). Original MarkBass power supply included (but it works fine on standard 9V supplies - I used it for years with a T-Rex Junior supply, you just get a bit more headroom if powered with 12V) Bypass can be buffered or true-bypass (switch at the bottom). It can work very well as a way to split the signal into FOH and an independent IEM rig or backline.

    Classic bass synth pedal. It's seen a lot of action and has a few scuffs to show it, but it's only cosmetic. https://www.boss.info/us/products/syb-5/

    Great tuner with lots of options and a brilliant display (with assignable pretty colours too ). Home use only, great condition. https://www.petersontuners.com/products/stroboStompHD/

    I'm not as sophisticated as that I struggled for years to sing at all until I discovered that I could sing in tune when we had decent monitors. I can still only sing what I can hear and that almost always means the melody line only. Most of the singing I do is with my duo. Our 'act' is based upon getting the audience to sing along and I sing what we want them to sing essentially. I just provide a fuller sound in the bits we want them to join in with. It seems to work, much to my surprise.

    Great condition, light home use only. Very good tracking. https://www.boss.info/us/products/sy-1/

    I bought this a while ago but then I changed my mind and it was too late to return it See all details about the preamp here: https://www.darkglass.com/en-gb/pages/tone-capsule-manual and here: https://www.darkglass.com/en-gb/products/tone-capsule Basically, it's a 3-band with lows at 70Hz, low mids at 500Hz and high mids at 2.8KHz with very easy wiring assembly.

    This stereo pedal has three distortion types, can save up to 3 presets as it is without any additional gear. It can, of course, be used with the Neuro hub etc and MIDI for maximum control and maaaany more presets, but I never really explored that, the pedal does all I wanted as it stands. The Neuro app, however, is very handy, as it gives you access to many parameters. The way I used it was to create the basic overdrive/fuzz sounds using the app, and then just rely on the unit's physical controls to adjust drive, blend etc to taste. It's essentially 3 dirt pedals in one, and you can modify each until you are bored . It can run two of the distortion engines simultaneously, and blend them, stack them, or output them in stereo. It can do too many things to mention, so if you're not familiar with the Aftershock it's probably best to have a look at this: https://www.sourceaudio.net/aftershock-bass-distortion.html and this (the demo focus a bit too much on the higher gain sounds, but it's excellend at low gain sounds too): It has heavy duty 3MM velcro on the bottom, which of course can be removed. The original rubber feet were never installed and are included, as well as the cable to connect it to your phone to use the Neuro app, which gives you access to a huge array of parameters.

  15. mcnach
    Just wondering what's people's experience with the battery life on the Z3 basses. I installed new batteries soon after I bought mine, in August last year, and I've just had to replace them (started to distort and make noise which fresh batteries cured), so about 6 months with moderate use. For comparison, every other bass I've had would last at least a year with similar usage (I replace batteries once a year to be safe, which works well for a Stingray). Has anybody noticed a shorter life on the Z3 compared to others? Just wondering whether my batteries weren't great, or if I need to schedule my battery replacements a bit more frequently on the Z3 (maybe replace every 4 months).

    Can travel to meet within about an hour of Portsmouth if that helps!

    Lakland Skyline Decade Don’t see many of these come up. I’d say condition is 9.5, it’s picked up a hairline scratch but will try to polish it out, have taken pictures of any blemishes I could find. I believe the same electronics are the same as the USA made ones. Chi-Sonic pickups. Passive with VVT controls. Very open to trading up particularly: - American P Basses or G&L SB-2 (bonus if Fretless) - Shortscale things especially a Wilcock I’ve never posted a bass, and if I can help it would rather not learn how to now. Based in London.

    When I started, I'd tune to the piano in the house. In a band, we'd take somebody's guitar as the reference and tune to it (can't remember how the reference was established) or, if we were rehearsing in a rehearsal room at school, tune to the piano. Then electronic tuners came in at consumer prices when I was in my early 20s (the ones with a real meter at first) and I never looked back.

    I’m after someone to change a switch jack on my P and maybe look at the frets. Do you have contact details?

    If the neck has been refinished it’s most likely had a new decal, and possibly a mod to the truss access. I’m not sure of the screw measurements for the tuning pegs ever changed in the 70s, but if there are holes behind then it would have had something else over its life.
  24. Useless Eustace
    😝 I got that & absolutely no offence taken!!!! It’s weird. I’m a grand master in not giving a ####, but there’s some deep rooted humiliation in there. If I didn’t use commas, I’d probably have to pay a rubber clad lady to wreck my cat flap 😳 I do analyse & obsess a bit. Not good at finishing things though. I’m determined to crack on with this though.

    Hey guys Seen a Bass pop up in Italy that i quite fancy grabbing, Sellers first shipping quote was £140 (WTF) second quote for a more "budget" service was £80.....which is still Way to high IMHO. I can not seem to find anywhere online (DL/FEDex/PF etc) that will allow me to check/quote for Italy-UK Shipping to see if i can find a cheaper shipper to book collection myself...... Checking RM/PF i can send an package of the same weight/size/insurance from the UK to Italy for about £50 (still to high imo but that would be my MAX) Anyone use/recommend any services for Italy-UK shipping ? Cheers
  26. BaggyMan
    Yes. Can arrange shipping anywhere at buyers cost or split costs perhaps.
  27. JRBass
    2 levy bass straps, awesome quality, had a bass cull and these are now spares. 1 black, 1 brown. Both in great condition, no real blemishes, just a little around the button hole. Shown in pictures. Any questions, just ask. £48 each (posted)

    An excellent 6/12-stage phaser, being a clone of the revered Moogerfooger 103. I’ve just received a brand new exemplar from Andertons today as a replacement for one I bought a few months ago that had a loose connection. I’m on a drive to raise money due to unemployment so don’t even want to put this on my board. As yet I haven’t even opened it. I’m happy to leave it unopened or to open to test and photograph for the buyer (once payment is received) if desired. Price includes recorded UK postage. Stock photo for illustrative purposes.
