  2. Owen started following I have been clearing. Broughton Synth Voice Deluxe. Ken Smith PAPA. TC Spark. Massive tuner. SFX Micro Fuzz and Massive filth
  3. Owen
    The fact that I am selling one is immaterial (no, really). If wanted to get super gnarly, I would be plugging in to one of these.

    I'm going to be bringing a Trace TE1200 head and an LFSys Monaco, Silverstone II and Goodwood. This is one of the few opportunities you'll have to find out what LFSys cabs are all about without actually ordering one, as they're only available direct and not through retailers. Head-to-head comparisons cordially welcomed.

    Yes, all good thanks, Gareth! 🙏😊

    Things I used to need, that I no longer need. I am certain you know how it is. 1. Broughton Synth Voice Deluxe - £150 Blah blah blah. This is what it does. 2. Ken Smith PAPA floor pedal Preamp + Headphone amp - £300 A Smith preamp in a box. So all your basses can pretend to be Smiths. I am aware that there is more to it than that. This is what our Ken said "Since we came out with the new 18v circuit, many people have asked to buy these to either upgrade their current Smith bass or put it in another bass. Often, it will not fit without major modifications or fit at all. So, after a few years we completed the Smith P.A.P.A. Preamp/Practice Amp for external use. This is the exact circuit as in the current Smith Basses. No modification to your bass needed plus, you have the added practice amp feature as well." 3. TC Spark - £33 It is a TC Spark. 4. SFX Micro Fuzz - £40 It does fuzz things and is tiny There is a tuner in there. I decided to keep it for now. Unless you REALLY REALLY want it.

    As i live in London, I prefer to walk in to venues, the old school way if I'm fronting a band. Otherwise, being a sideman I don't need to get involved in that department.

    Bought a Jazz bass from Chris. He kept me updated, it was well packaged and shipped promptly. Thoroughly recommended 👍

    Hello. Have you managed to sell your aerodyne? Hard to find anything lefty in the US.
  10. uk_lefty started following Flyht Pro case for Behringer X-Air 18
  11. uk_lefty
    Hardly used since we did some crazy rack mount thing with the X-Air. You'd be spending £81 to get one brand new posted from Thomann. £50 collected or I could look at shipping at cost to the buyer.

    Joel bought my 'Standing in the Shadows of Motown' book - a good guy to do any transaction with - I would happily trade with him again
  14. Stub Mandrel
    Alive by Pearl Jam. Not a big challenge, but one of my favourite songs so really looking forward to performing it. Rehearsal monday.

    I have to admit there are a few instruments in my own collection (guitars and basses) that I really like and don't want to sell but I don't play them either . It's not a great time to sell anyway so they're basically wall decorations or filling up a hardshell case in the spare room wardrobe. I do get to 'rediscover' them after a time though.
  16. Raslee
    Thanks. Yes it’s is professionally done and sounds great with that too. Perhaps a sign of the market but I’m surprised it’s had little interest as it’s the perfect foray into a quality fretless 😊
  17. HeadlessBassist started following Tobias Toby Pro FS/FT to raise funds for a couple of 'beater basses' for school donation £395
  18. HeadlessBassist
    For Sale: Tobias Toby Pro, mid 2000s 3-band active, through neck bass £395. We donated a few instruments to a Secondary School I teach at this week and this Toby Pro Bass seemed way too good to become a 'School Beater Bass', so it's up for sale/trade with a view to replacing it with a couple of cheap Squiers (or instruments of similar value) that we can donate to the school. Formerly housed with the 'Moo Collection" (including the infamous Moo-Wood Status KingBasses), the Bass sounds really good for a relatively budget instrument. I believe these were made in the Korean Cort factory. Some are badged as 'Made in Korea' and others just have the U serial numbers. Condition is good, apart from a couple of small scuffs in the lacquer on the back, but there are no chips or gouges. The bass is fully operational, sounds great and has been set up with a medium-low action on Ernie Ball 45-100 Slinky's. There is a generic GigBag included with the sale. Remember that this instrument is on sale to generate funds or cheaper instruments to donate to a school, so I'm not going to drop the price. Will happily post this one, or potential buyers can collect from Derbyshire (10 mins off M1 J25.)

    Very nice fretless conversion, really The strings look like Thomastik JF to me. GLWYS.
  20. Rob MacKillop
    Yes, I’m aware of all that, thanks. I forgot to mention I also play a 7-string Viola da gamba, but only well enough for the simpler Bach movements. It is thought that lute players still played circa French baroque pitch for solo work, but for ensemble work that could vary up and down depending where you were based. As a lute player, I often use all-gut strings at 392, sometimes even slightly lower if the instrument seems to want it. Baroque pitch is a musical feast. Yes, the 6th suite is for 5 strings, and the 5th suite has the first string down a tone. I’m not looking to arrange other music for the bass, just the cello suites, which I’ve been exploring on and off for 40 years or so. It’s always refreshing to explore them on different tunings and instruments. As I’m focused on the 4-string bass these days I thought I’d put some thought into how best to play them, and I quickly came to the conclusion that EADG would cause many problems. Once you’ve played them in 5ths tuning, and seen how perfectly they fit, it’s worth pondering at least how to emulate that on the bass. Hmm…maybe a piccolo bass 😎

    Looking forward to watching this, it’s the track that led me to bass (there’s a thread on here somewhere) 👍

  23. greghagger started following ‘The Night’ Bass Cover - Frankie Valli
  24. greghagger
    I reckon that my favourite Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons bass line has to be the one from 'The Night'. The bassist, Joe Long, is really is at his finest in this song. I spent quite a few years playing in the original London production of 'Jersey Boys' a while back, but bizarrely this song wasn't in the show. Although we discussed it in the band, I don't remember us ever finding out why! Maybe it was something to do with the writer’s credits. The Night was recorded during the Four Seasons 'Motown phase' in the early 70's, and you can clearly hear Jamerson's influence in Joe Long's bass line. I made a YouTube lesson on this bass line a few years ago, but I've now made a play-through video with the original track. This was quite a challenge, particularly in the pre-choruses, because of the fast tempo. I could have done with a few days to practice it, but I managed to get something half-decent down for this week's YouTube video. You’ll find a link to my full transcription in the video description. I hope you find the transcription useful and enjoy my play-through.

    @Baloney Balderdash It's a sonic monster. Fantastic. Again, all original style. I'm a fan.
  27. Fettsman
    I've gone to the Dark(glass) side so this is now going spare. It's served me well over many gigs and recordings for four years without a hitch. Comes complete with soft carry case, midi cable, midi footswitch and mains cable. More amp sims and effects than you can shake a stick at. Will post at cost but I would prefer a meet up.

    A very versatile MIDI controller. Programmable via usb from a pc/mac. Does the lot. Can chuck in a few short MIDi cables. A few slight scuffs but all is in working order. £100 posted to you in the UK

    An eight loaded top is sufficient for pub gigs, provided the woofer is of high quality. The same applies to eight loaded subs. The trick lies in knowing the quality of the woofer, as manufacturers are loathe to reveal what they're loaded with. Eight loaded tops are less directional, as the angle of dispersion is inversely proportional to the size of the cone/radiating plane . As to throw, the inverse square rule applies to all driver sizes. The advantage to 'stick' systems is they have very wide dispersion on the horizontal plane, due to the smaller driver sizes, along with narrow dispersion on the vertical plane, due to the taller radiating plane. That aims more sound into the audience, less at the floor and ceiling. The disadvantage is most use woofers too small to do the job, at an unjustifiable price. A very good arrangement is a 2x8 top, which can give output equal to a 1x12, with wider horizontal dispersion and narrower vertical dispersion. The same applies to 4x6.5 inch tops. But those are few and far in between, as their advantages are very much unknown to the average user.

    Some more photos of this lovely little U-bass, which I can't believe hasn't sold!
  32. AndyTravis
    Yeah - a 4 string “wav” version (albeit maple rather the graphite) would be cool. but then again, looking at my bank account, it’d need to be in 10 years time 😆
  33. Stub Mandrel
    Play them on it over bluetooth from your phone. If you press the bass knob it goes into Bluetooth mode.

    I have a usb powered air purifier that runs of usb and uses carbon cartridges. That could run in a car.
