For sale, my mint condition X32 Producer. Just under 2 years old and bought by me from Andertons, it's been flight cased from new. I used it at home to learn digital desks and then did a few rehearsals plus about 10 gigs before I upgraded to a bigger desk. I've kept it as a backup, but am now looking to upgrade my main desk again, and therefore this is surplus to requirements. All faders, encoders and buttons, ins and outs working perfectly. Will be restored to factory settings before it goes, and am more than happy to spend some time with the buyer to show them how it all works if needed. It's a great first desk if upgrading from analogue and a nice compact size for gigging, but also ideal for a home studio setup, or for an IEM rig. It can be rack mounted and the rack ears will be included. All the specs are available on the Behringer website, but this has 16 local ins, 8 outs plus 8 aux ins/outs. Can be expanded to 32in/16 outs with a behringer stage box (S16 or SD16) and you can record multitracks to a DAW via the 32 channel interface. Priced to sell at £750, which is a good saving on new with the flight case which was £200 on its own. Collection from Chelmsford, or will drive a reasonable distance for a meet up. Payment via cash or BACS. Please DM me if you have any questions. -
Thanks for all the help Ir has swing me away from the shoe box size boxes with tiny speakers @Hellzero your input is much appreciated The SWR is a nice option but lacks aux in, so I will be having a bid on the the TC combo on eBay

2025 SE Bass Basheroo! Sunday 9/11/25 *CONFIRMED*

I won't be able to make this, Remembrance Sunday is always busy for brass bands. Have a good time. -
Actually very good. But only because we did a multiband outdoor gig where someone else was doing the sound earlier in the day, so to get back to using my PC felt like coming home, I could hear everything and we sounded good!

Shell pink is always a winner for me. Or a racing green could be a cool look.

I admit it. I am beaten. Someone asked about the Seth Govan bass part to 'hangover, from the 2006 Guthrie Govan album, 'Erotic Cakes'. I thought, 'I'll have a crack at that, and off I went. 2:38 seconds in, I completely lost it - no idea what he is doing. The tune is in 9:8 ( a kind of swung 3:4) but he is playing 4 against the 3 (12:8 over 9:8) and then he does something else that I cannot figure out at all. Sounds hip as f*** but I have no idea how to get it down so I threw the towel in. Here is where I got to. If you can complete the transcription, let me know. Seth lives down the road to me so I am going to contact him to see if he can explain himself! https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/hangover-guthrie-govan/

Please don’t make me go to the Bay 😉 -
Bought this off here recently to see if I could resurrect it. I love the TA501 tube compression and the flexible EQ. The issue is that although it powers up and the fan works, it makes a whining, static and crackle sound, similar to tuning an old radio. I cleaned contacts, changed the tube and power cable, but the issue remains. It’s likely to be a capacitor issue. I was going to take it to my mate who repairs amps for a living, but realistically I’ll likely never use it since giving up gigging bass. So yours for £50 collected, plus £10 pp and I’ll include a spare tube. Comes with power cable and manual. -
The world definitely is your oyster with colour choices. I'd personally go for something like Firemist Gold metallic (like they did the Fender Vintera 1 Jazzes in), with a darkish red tort guard.

Too late for many gigs. -
As pretty much everyone has said, it is all about practice. I sing BVs with a good few of the bands I play with and it took a while to get a good method down for learning the parts. Knowing the bass parts to the point where you’re paying entirely from muscle memory is essential. Even in a jazz context where you’re playing walking lines, falling back on your most bog-standard shapes and lines will help you forget about playing the bass and concentrate on the singing. Practising the backing vocals away from the bass at first also really helps. I like to do that in the car. Or on a long walk with headphones. Getting the vocals into your muscle memory will come with time. When you know them well enough away from the instrument I find combining them with the bass parts is way easier. Plus you’ll be worrying less about finding pitches as you’ll have more of an idea of where they sit in your voice. Getting familiar with your vocal range is just like learning the fretboard. I’ve found it very rewarding to really dig into the backing vocal thing and it’s been a real bonus for gigs. Good luck on your adventures @Mokl

Here’s a nice jazz bass that I put together with a body from VM fretless and a VM P neck (with Gotoh machines heads). It’s got new set of D’addarrio steel rounds (I can’t re the gauge but likely medium). Plays great, sounds great. I’ll weigh it later, and measure the nut, but it’s a P neck so wider than a jazz…. I broke the policy of 1 in 1 out and got 2 in, so this is excess to requirements sadly. Plus I need funds to pay for my self indulgent album I’m recording, so I give you a nice bass, you give me money and I’ll find a drain to place the cash in and watch it get swept out to sea along with the rest of the countries turds 🤣 £180 collected or £200 posted as I have a box to put it in.-

. . . . and Bobby Bland's Reflections In Blue, which Wilton Felder shared the bass chair with Chuck Rainey and Scott Edwards. All fantastic players.
-
Absolutely, which is why metal nuts or a zero-fret make sense. Is there a reason why zero-frets are so uncommon & seem to be regarded as a cheapo shortcut? Or is it just that Fender never used them?

Here's one my guitarist sent me a couple of days ago
-
Have a listen to Bobby Bland's albums, Dreamer and His California Album, on which he shared bass credits with Max Bennett.

We played in Leigh, Lancs last night, to a nice crowd, with a friend sitting in as our dep drummer who did really well. I'm getting back into the swing of gigging again after an enforced absence due to our old guitarist suddenly opting out. Our drummer has also had some spinal surgery and is going to be out of the game for a while. It does feel a little like the band is limping along, using dep drummers, but it is better than not playing at all. The playing is really enjoyable, but it doesn't feel like the same band. Not entirely a bad thing. Our guitarist has learned a good number of songs and he has done a fine job. We can't really advance the setlist that much until our regular drummer is fit to play again. It will happen, though. He's bought an upgraded electric kit to make it easier for him to transport. It's just a case of persevering at the moment. We are winning at gigs, which is the point. My rig is raised off the floor here as the place is a bass trap. One particular note can hang around all night like a bad smell.

Boss OC-2 in excellent condition complete with original box and instruction manual. Sounds mighty! -
Yeah we noticed your bv's weren't coming through, shame really because some of the harmonies in the first few songs were quite nice, lifting the songs. I'll PM you
-
Marcus and Dave Weckl on the same gig. Something that doesn't happen that often.

Seems to still be very much a buyers market. With that in mind I’ve dropped the price a bit if it’s of any interest.
