Harley Benton Fretless Bass Ukelele (HB CLU-Bass-FL) - £60
malbass posted a topic in Basses For Sale
Having a bit of a clear out so up for sale here is my Harley Benton Fretless Bass Uke. A fun little thing and sounds pretty good when amplified. Played it on a couple of gigs but that was ages ago so time to move it on. Comes with a soft case but I don't have a hard case for this so collection/meet-up is the only option. I live in Nottingham but happy to travel an hour or two if that helps. -

Having a bit of a clear out so up for sale here is my Ibanez PCBE14MH Acoustic-Electric Bass. Only had very light use, mostly at home although I did gig it once. In fantastic condition with no issues. 32 inch scale makes this very easy to play. Currently strung with black nylon tapewounds which sound great to me. Comes with a soft case but I don't have a hard case for this so collection/meet-up is the only option. I live in Nottingham but happy to travel an hour or two if that helps.

An interesting bass was listed today but almost immediately withdrawn in between my seeing it, asking how much it weighed, and getting a reply. Not seen one before. Seller did a little more research and pulled it because he believes he undervalued it. Which is probably true. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/267482497835

Having a bit of a clear out so up for sale here is my Warwick Streamer STD fretless. Sadly doesn't get played as much as it used to so it has to go! I got it in a trade for a double bass over 10 years ago so I don't know that much about it. From what I've found on t'internet these seem to be German made using a cheaper body wood and electronics than the full-on Warwicks, same necks though. It's served me well though and is in good condition. The finish on the body is oil rather than Poly or Nitro so there are a few small dents but nothing too serious. I don't have a case for this so collection/meet-up is the only option. I live in Nottingham but happy to travel an hour or two if that helps.

Moving on from this morning I've used the 1/4 inch amp out straight into my Ashdown ABM / 4x10 with no EQ, valve drive or sub harmonics turned on. With the settings shown below it sounds almost the same as the Di out going into the PA. This feature is great as I can duplicate the Di sound into any back line amp. -
Hi Bass Culture,

I’ve had more playing time yesterday and today (after getting some actual sleep) and am really enjoying it. -

Selling a classic 1991 Warwick Streamer Stage II. Bought this about six months ago from the original owner. It’s in fantastic condition. Looks as good a new really. Some light tarnishing to the gold hardware but that’s about it. It had been sat in storage for quite some time before I bought it so it needed a bit of attention. I had the battery connector replaced and it’s had a full setup and light fretstone since I got hold of it and it’s feeling lovely to play. It’s a lovely instrument and I’ve really enjoyed playing it over the last few months but it doesn’t really fit in with the kind of work I do so it’s not going to get played enough to justify keeping it. Plus I’ve just bought another bass and frankly I need to replenish the gear funds! The bass doesn’t have a case unfortunately so it’s collection only from Peckham SE15. You’re welcome to come and try it out and have a cup of tea, no pressure! My feedback thread on here:

Congratulations! Curious about your thoughts on it after the arrival and initial play. I was looking at the 5 string version of it, I think I have posted pics in the other thread but the additional cost of importing put me off in the end. In general I really like these new special editions, great to see the brand bringing out such gems

The inputs on the front of the 214 are a combination 1/4"/XLR socket. Just use a bog standard XLR-XLR cable (male plug at the interface end). The interface can recognise what plug has been connected. - Today

Does Size Matter? Is 8” Big Enough?
Bill Fitzmaurice replied to Chienmortbb's topic in PA set up and use
More than a few DIY experimenters have turned that hobby into a lucrative profession. Included in that list: James Lansing, Paul Klipsch, Edgar Villchur, Henry Kloss, Conrad Sundholm, Thomas Danley and Alex Claber, and if I may, myself. All of got into speaker design because they were dissatisfied with what was available commercially and thought they could come up with something better. Audio design in general, and speaker design in particular, has always been advanced by the work of amateurs, unimpeded by corporate politics. Villchur's example is perhaps the best. He had a Masters degree in Art History. He got into audio as a radio repairman while in the Army in WWII. That piqued his interest in audio, which he followed up on after the war. When he came up with the idea for the acoustic suspension speaker he shopped it to all the major players. They all said the same thing, that if his idea had any merit that their own engineers would have already done it. That was circa 1950. Undaunted, Villchur built a prototype of his new speaker out of a plywood box. The dimensions of the face of the box were taken from a picture frame that he had hanging in his house. His wife, Rosemary sewed the pattern for the flexible surround out of mattress ticking. After proving his concept to himself, if not others, he and his student, Henry Kloss, proceeded to create their own company, Acoustic Research, in 1954. In 1966 AR’s loudspeaker sales represented almost one-third of the entire market. Not bad for a couple of tinkerers.
