First the bad news: These are traditonal technology speakers - No light weight speakers or cabinets. Hence these weigh in at 46Kg each, which is why I am moving them on, just too heavy for me to lug around anymore. Also the foam fronts are completely shot and need replacing if you want foam fronts. Apart from that if it is all positive. These are Shermann speakers, serious professional bits of kit - see the reviews. I know that almost everything claims to be professional these days, but these really are. These speakers are 770mm high 480mm wide at the font and 250mm wide at the back. and weigh 46Kg each!. They are probably about 30 years old, so traditional technology & desgin, hence the weight. Not the sort of weight I want to be lugging about anymore, hence moving them on. Can't see it on the photgraph, but I believe that the 15" bass units are Beymer, the tweeters are definitely and the 6.5" mirange are both Audix. Shermann informed me that they are 8 ohm, and are good for at least 400W each (See attached notes from Shermann). Despite being 30 years old these still sound as good as ever, as far as I can tell. They were oginally installed at the Theatr Hafren, Newtown, Powys, and we bought them from Shermann when they we theatre was being upgraded. - and had top hats fitted at the same time. I have used them in folk dance bands (including a sousaphone) and rock bands for front of house - easily enough to fill a typical pub or village hall, and even used them outside in a pub garden and for PA and background music on a village playing field. They have also been used as side-fill foldback on a pretty large stage. The weight is a downside, for portable use, but they would be ideal for someone considerably younger/stronger than me, or for use in a permantent installation. Unlikely to need subs with these unless you are a dub nut or something. One of my tests for a PA system is the human voice, and these are brilliant for that,i.e. apart from the volume you wouldn't know that they are there! I attach various photos. As I say I'm looking for £350 for the pair. As you will have guessed, pickup only, but that gives you the chance to try them out! Due to its weight: COLLECTION ONLY, but that gives you the chance to try it out. NOTE THAT: As part of the clear out I have listed/will soon be listing: Laney 100W 15" combo. Behringer BEQ3012 two channel 32 band equaliser with feedback detection. Two Shermann PA cabinets (15" + 6" + tweeter). Seriously professional bits of kit. 12 + 4 15m Snake cable/box 12 + 4 25m Snake cable/box Behringer FBQ6200 32 band, 2 channel equaliser with feedback detection. Large base tall lighting Various LED lighting units & controllers Ibanez SR505 Bass.

The only way you’ll ever solve this is by just trying a load… like, as many as you possibly can. Every OD changes its timbre with every combination of bass, amp, cab, impedance load of other pedals etc. That said, I can do what everyone else here has done and tell you which OD pedals have worked for me. Sounds like you are looking for low gain, a bit of grit and warmth, enough to give you break up and drive other pedals into a bit more of a snarly state. As such, I have used and loved the following for that purpose… Fuzzrocious Demon. Fuzzrocious Broke Dick Peanut Gallery. Fuzzrocious Li’l Fella (I have one for sale, wink wink). (So, basically everything Ryan at Fuzzrociousmakes!) Ampeg Scrambler (I think it sucks at high gain, but it really shines at low gain break up). Horrothia Teeth (my new fav, but still in the honeymoon period). Fulltone Mosfet Bass Drive (there are some clones out there I think that are cheaper). COG Knightfall (any version). Damnation Audio MBD (most people like this on nasty settings, but I think it’s best at low gain). EBS Valve Drive (the pedal is huge though). Mad Professor Blueberry. Many of these are very versatile, suit many playing styles and set ups and venture into high gain, or even fizz territory, but I’m recommending them specifically for their low gain applications. Time to go watch some demos!

As new still sealed in packs, 3 sets available £10.50 per set including postage. I have been trying various brands of strings on a number of basses, whilst these are very nice I'm going to Dunlop's for my fretted Warwick. To my ears the Eden's seem similar to Rotosounds, maybe not quite as 'zingy' initially.

Had a think about this, and really just comes down to 2: Black blocks on a maple board. Ugh. Jam nights with no proper song list plan. Inevitably just drifts into the guitarist(s) widdling endless blues solos (suffered this torture earlier this week.....) All eye of the beholder I know, but re some earlier posts I'd have to say that IMHO baked beans, sunburst with tort, and Wal basses are 3 of mankind's greatest achievements. Probably in that order -
The Horrorthia pedal design is pretty awesome. The arcade switch for on-off is a nice touch (feels super solid, doesn’t worry me that it’s not a metal switch), and they are gorgeous. I own two pedals from him and both are top notch. I’m really interested by his fuzz pedal, but I’m also super happy with my fuzz options. I mean, I guess I was happy with my low gain options, but I really have no desire to change fuzz. For now

Branding isn’t free! I think most would agree Fender are the biggest contemporary instrument brand of the last century. Of course it offers little to the end consumer other than a sort of guarantee of quality…

Make sure you report in after you’ve used it for a few gigs. Will be interesting to hear your insight to gigging this way! -
Ali Express, that's definitely not graphite, mate!
prowla replied to HeadlessBassist's topic in Bass Guitars
The main problem with this is the tuners stick out beyond the strap buttons. -

It doesn't say it's Graphite. -
More work last night and tonight: - Re-installed the bias board more securely (bolts have nyloc nuts); - Added the feeds from the PI to the 6L6 control grids, as well as the negative bias supplies (all of them brown/blue wires); - Connected the AC (orange) and ground (black) to the bias board; - Installed the NFB connection and corresponding ground reference (green/black wires).

Honestly, I didn't seriously consider them as the adverts I saw of them were all on cables, and I wanted to make my own, especially as some of my board cables are XLR to TS. When I saw these little beauties, intrigued by the hinge design, I knew I had to try them.😁 Thanks, a design like this obviously isn't for most folks (including probably every full-time professional) who have multiple pedals and/or very pro setups, but I'm focusing on speed of setup and connectivity. I'm also wary power cables can get kicked about on the stages I go on, with my feet, multiple bands etc. Will see how it goes and whether I reintroduce power and audio cables back in.
