*PRICE INCLUDES UK POSTAGE * Wicked pedal! Tracks beautifully. Only selling as I’m now using multi-effect unit. In great condition (I may even have original box…can’t find at the moment m). Does an octave below and/or above. Also has an independent boost effect. Blurb here: Octavius tri-tone generator has 4 controls LO OCT, HIGH OCT, MASTER MIX and BOOST. LO OCT knob lets you set the volume of the lower octave signal produced by the pedal. HIGH OCT knob controls the volume of the higher octave signal produced by the pedal. The balance between the levels of these 2 knobs is what creates your particular octave-divided sound. Experiment with your mix, and you’ll be amazed at the variety of effects you’ll get. MASTER MIX knob lets you set the overall volume of your low and high octaves compared to your direct signal. Use the BOOST knob to control the output of your octave-divided sound. The boost function lets you dial in a solo level, whether the overdrive circuit is activated or not.

Issue with Fender Classic 50s reissue P bass
Jono Bolton replied to maryjackson's topic in Bass Guitars
I'd guess at it being the lead or input socket shorting against the cavity wall. Try sticking a bit of electrical tape on the sides of the cavity around the input and see if that sorts it. -
GreeneKing started following Shure GLXD16+

I love this wireless setup. I think it's the best you can buy, reassuringly expensive and worth every penny. Sadly I can't justify having it. My opportunities for using it are few and far between and sadly consist of the odd rehearsal and an even rarer gig. It is in as new condition except for the addition of a right angled transmitter lead, drawstring bag for the transmitter, velcro on the rear of the receiver, a stomp button on same and I'll include an A4 printed manual. The original power supply, leads and transmitter lead are bagged and they have never been used. Save £100 on new. Wireless System Dual band: 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz With GLXD1+ pocket transmitter, GLXD6+ pedalboard receiver and Wa 305 guitar cable Up to 8 systems simultaneously (16 with Frequency Manager) Automatic frequency setup Built-in guitar tuner Output: 6.3 mm jack Up to 12 hours of battery life Up to 60 metres range Transmitter made of metal Receiver dimensions (W x D x H): 95 x 48 x 138 mm Transmitter dimensions (W x D x H): 67 x 29 x 115 mm Total weight: 1.2 kg Includes Shure lithium-ion battery and battery charger Peter

Hi ,does Wal rhyme with Ball? or is it more like wishing "well" ? I can't recollect hearing the word

I'll let you know when I finally get the feeling that I've got too many.... Currently on 94 and haven't thought it yet.... lol!

HeadlessBassist started following THE GB PORN THREAD
-
I'm a late-comer to the GB family, but had a long term loan of one of the early Goodfellow Standards back in the early 90's while my Status neck was being repaired. Acquired this early model 1988 Spitfire a couple of weeks ago in a trade at Bass Bros. I think I got the better end of the deal. The tonal punch is anvil-like and it's such a lovely thing to play and hear. Definitely my kind of bass.

I've gone and done it again....... This time it's a Mesa Boogie

At one point in my life I had 5 basses at once, which actually led me to play less. Just choosing what bass to play became overwhelming. I sold them all and started over on a clean slate to so speak. Now I have two really nice boutique basses with disctinctly different sounds and applications (although both 30” scale). Being – almost – middle-aged with small children at home and less time than ever to practice alone or rehearse with friends and with no gigs in sight, I have a strict 1-in-1-out policy when it comes to instruments.

briansbrew started following Celinder SS Humbucker Alnico Jazz Pickups
-
I bought these off Funkle at the start of this year, put into a Jazz that I build but I have since parted it out so up for sale A little damage to bottom of the pickup housing to accomodate the screws but does not impact on the pickup, here is the original listing.. Another find from my extensive and unusual parts clear-out. This is a set of Celinder SS Humbucker Alnico Jazz Pickups. Truly a unique set of pickups. I only know of one other person who has a similar set - I think it might be @Kiwi if I recall correctly. I had these made as a custom order direct from Aaron Armstrong back in 2013. I had them made for a Celinder 60's Jazz Bass I owned at that point, and they served me well when mated to a John East J-Retro. When the bass was sold, I reverted it to the original single coils. So these are humbuckers nearly identical to those in every Celinder Update Jazz bass (70s Jazz bass tributes), except they are alnico instead of ceramic. This was to give me a sound more typical of a 60's Jazz, but without the hum. It worked. (Aaron tells me the humbucker design has two coils rotated through 90 degrees, with magnets in the middle of them pressed up against a blade of steel, which in turn runs down the whole length of the middle of the pickup.) They are very low output and low impedance. They have a sound extremely near to single coils - as with other Celinder Updates - but they must be mated to an active preamp to have typical instrument level output. It's been a minute since I used them. But when removed from my Celinder, they were fully working, and I expect them to perform normally. A new set of these would probably be around £250, I think. Ask Aaron, I guess, he would tell you. Price to include postage to the UK

I really like the addition of middle solo, and bridge and middle in parallel, so it was a good swap for me.

How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?
Richard R replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
I would love to be able to play by ear. The closest I get is the old joke "Do you play by ear?" "Yes" "Well clear off and play somewhere else then!" -
I finally got around to sorting midi control out via the BandHelper app and used it at the weekend's gig. I didn't enjoy double footswitch pressing to change presets on its previous outing. Using Bandhelper to automatically choose the correct preset worked very well. Using CC's to select modes, stomps and scenes, however, is less reliable, and I had to resend the midi data manually a few times But I think this is because I'm sending PC and CC messages at the same time. If I understand Bandhelper's help page correctly, I should be able to resolve this issue by adding a small delay between each one. One rather annoying thing I discovered is that my Kindle Fire doesn't support MIDI over USB. Amazon, in their wisdom, decided not to include this in their fork of Android. I bought this device a few years ago, specifically for gigs, so that I don't risk getting my more expensive iPad Pro broken or stolen. So I'm looking into getting a similarly sized and cheap 'proper' Android tablet to replace it.

Hi everyone, Up for sale is this SahBro? Brass Section Fuzz. A cool Brassmaster clone in a 1590BB enclosure. It's a nice option if you're looking for that particular kind of fuzz sound, but it's not in a giant enclosure at a larger price. It's got a few dings, but it all works as it should. Here's the reverb shop I got it from: https://reverb.com/uk/item/83850271-sahbro-audio-the-brass-section-brassmaster-clone I'm asking £90 for it. Price includes postage. Below I've attached some quick sound clips too. The signal is a P bass with Chromes, straight into an RNDI. Brass Section Samples.wav Cheers!

casapete started following Stage Names
-
All of this reminds me of seeing the wonderful Hank Wangford band, back in the 80’s. Hank (aka Dr Sam Hutt) had a superb set of musicians with him, all with great stage names too. The ones I can remember included Irma Cetas on vocals, guitarists Brad Breath and Jett Atkins, Manley Footwear on pedal steel ( the legendary BJ Cole) and Milton Keynes on drums.
-
Great bit of kit that lets you play along to songs via bluetooth. My presets are on it but you can get the free app to make your own sounds. I've had this for years and battery life isn't great anymore at around half an hour - I tend to use at my desk and keep it plugged into the USB output of my laptop for power. Price includes UK mainland postage. With box and charging cable.

Yup. I had a combustion and I just didn't like the EMG preamp. I took the batteries out and used the passive/active as a mute switch. And very handy it was too. Since I got my ABZ though I find the passive tone incredibly useful, and the bass and treble on the Never are so usable - I'd say I use the onboard preamp about 20% of the time, passive the rest. In terms of options though, I'd be fascinated to try out the six-position but as it is I think I'm better off with 4. It's like compression - the best system I used had an on/off switch that worked. As soon as I start to get too much choice I feel like I'm wasting time faffing and give up!

Wolfram started following 'Mastering' handheld room recorded tracks
-
Start at the source: get your mic (recorder) placement right- it'll make everything else so much easier. Do some quick test recordings with different placements - it'll be fairly obvious on a quick listen back on headphones which sound better. Listen for overall sound quality, amount of 'room sound' and balance between the different instruments. You will need to find a balance between the amount of room sound you capture (roughly correlated with the distance of the mics from the source) and the ability to get your desired balance between the instruments (usually easier with a more distant mic position). Get this right though, and you're 99% of the way there already. If you can, keep the recorder off flat surfaces, especially hard ones - a small tripod might be a good investment, but at least try to make sure there is nothing directly under the mics (e.g. place the recorder on the edge of a table with the mics in free space). From my own experience, my Dad recorded some final songs (just vocals and acoustic guitar) on a Zoom H4n in the months before he passed away. We didn't hear them until afterwards. They are beautiful performances, but unfortunately he set the Zoom down on a glass coffee table to record, and the reflections from that surface really messed with the recorded sound (phase cancellation artefacts). I spent hours doing my best to clean them up with a range of tools. Wish we could re-record those songs... But back to mastering - that is so much down to personal taste and what you want to do with it. I tend to like preserving dynamics so use compressors sparingly if at all. I would start with a subtle EQ (just for overall tonal balance, nothing surgical) and a maximiser for the overall level - that might be all you need.
