  1. Past hour
  2. Looks like Ibanez are responding to the Sire/Cort competition in this ergo/headless form factor space with a cheaper EHB line: https://www.ibanez.com/usa/products/detail/ehb605_1p_01.html Thinks it's mostly the electronics where they've taken cost out.
  3. 2.4 has a better range and is slightly less worse in poor line of sight transmission situations. However it has to compete for bandwidth with far more devices especially at crowded gigs, which at the moment makes it far less reliable than 5.8. However that advantage may disappear in the future. IME if you are going to be suffering from range issues with a 5.8 device you probably need to be looking at seriously pro wireless systems and not ones based on WiFi.
  4. Haha me too
  5. When i first listened to this one on laptop (no headphones) i thought it was a fretless bass playing the lead line. When i opened the music i was reading almost straight 8ths. Now i have headphones on i can hear the actual bassline. Nice song. Not heard much of Pat Metheny group but that is very nice. That lead could possibly be done on a fretless i reckon. ? What do you think Rob ? Dave
  6. Less chance of interference at 5.8ghz. Or, I'm about to try some UHF Lekato mentioned earlier in this thread. UHF has lower latency (<3ms) but can degrade the sound a bit - at least that was the complaint with older ones, new ones seem to get good reviews though.
  7. Did you ever make an airfix kit as a kid?? You can do an open seam mate! You just need to get your hands on this stuff. Oh, and a cooking thermometer is a good idea but not essential.
  8. I have some boxes, so could consider posting this…..
  9. Amazed that this powerful little amp, in this condition and at a bargain price is still here.
  10. Thanks for all your input guys! What's the benefit of 5.8Ghz over 2.4Ghz? Is there just less likely to be interference? Stronger signal/less loss?
  11. Well I scored this PJB stack https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/227075033581 for what I reckon is a great price. I collected it yesterday before rehearsal with full five-piece band last night. I am SO impressed! It needed both units in action to give full presence that I could feel as well as hear. I could still hear just the combo on its own, but that thump and flood-of-bass from adding the active monitor was just what I was looking for. It can give me a slightly more modern tone if I want it and most importantly still has all the warmth of my old Fender Bassman135 rig. The PJB transparently gave me the exact sound of my old Stingray, which was what I wanted. Almost as importantly, my chiropractor bills will now be greatly reduced! Thank you all for excellent advice and experience shared.
  12. Good day, any idea where I can buy any please? The ones on mine are like they're made out of cement so I'd like some more rubbery ones if possible. Many thanks in advance.
  13. Thanks for the update, I checked the band's bio on Faceache so assumed the guy I saw was Luca. Yes, Gus is a fabulous player
  14. Congratulations, that bass looks cool John 😎
  15. PM’d.
  16. Yes it is.
  17. Now £350.00. This amazing emulation of the acoustic control corporation 360 preamplifier with variamp and built in fuzz is up for grabs. Hand made by the renowned JC Maillet and commissioned and imported by myself at great cost. I have used the 360+ for studio recordings, gigs, rehearsals and at home, it has never dissapointed. The preamp sounds fantastic and the fuzz section is the best I have used. I have owned this pedal for a good few years from new, as can be seen it's in pristine condition. Specially sourced UK power supply also included. Will happily run from other sources with the right leads (I used it with a trex chameleon). Fully detailed printed instruction manual also included. Only available as I have more preamplifiers than I can use. Try out/collection always welcome, or UK insured postage for £15.00

  20. 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:

  21. Today
  22. It was discussed in this thread back in August. The general consensus then was that the bridge is by John Birch, and the rest could be anything. If it was a genuine JB it would have had John Birch pickups on it when it was originally made, and I can't think of any sensible reason to replace them.
  23. Simple but effective, the Steve Rodby bass part for the tune 'Last Train Home' from the 1987 PAt Metheny Group album, 'Still Life (Talking)' https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/last-train-home-pat-metheny-group/
