Hi, I'm using a EA Wizzy 10 at the moment but its struggling to keep up with an 18 piece big band with a loud drummer even in a rehearsal situation.Just wondering what difference would I notice with the Crazy 88. I'm on DB with a Realist PUP and a TecAmp 500 via a Fishman Platinum Pre-amp. Cheers -
Nice comfy strap, helps with those weighty Basses you're thinking of selling becasuse they're too heavy. Well used, been sitting in storage for the last two thousand years. Adjustable length (at both ends) from approx 44in (112cm) to 57in (145cm) from hole to hole. Full working order, OK condition - there's some crud around the holes, nothing that counts as a biohazard and I'll throw it in for free. Thirty quid posted, knock a fiver off if you can collect from Bewdley DY12 I'm in Manchester and Bolton 27th - 28th September and could meet up there if that helps. -

I was really looking forward to heading up to Taunton again this year but my plans have been thwarted as Mrs OBBM has acquired tickets to see Chris McCausland at the Hall for Cornwall that afternoon. We don't many big names down here as it's a bit off the beaten track and, anyway, it would more than my life's worth to decline. I'll try and get there next year.

Last bump before the dump... -
Bump for my favourite combo I ever owned.

As Steve Jones from The Sex Pistols said, you don’t have to be best mates in a band any more than if in a football team, you still pass the ball to the best placed player even if you don’t get on with them.

Small "Hifi" amp head recommendations sought!
andyhaines replied to andyhaines's topic in Amps and Cabs
Thanks, yes the LFSys leaves any amp with nowhere to hide. That is indeed the price to pay for transparency. @BassAdder60 good to know - what made you move on from the Eich? -
He does make a lovely cable. A worthy successor to obbm.

Bands with personal issues; The Kinks, The Beatles, The Stones, Oasis, Pink Floyd, Cream, etc etc . . . . You don't have to like everyone in the band, you just have to be able to make music with them. Success is good at papering over the cracks.

Cultural appropriation and covers
Agent 00Soul replied to DF Shortscale's topic in General Discussion
Are there any people under 40 on this thread? I would love to hear their point of view. -

Cheap basses always have cheap pickups and electrics. It's where they cut corners. I have an inexpensive jazz bass which sounds OK in the right circumstances. Putting in Barts, Nordstrands etc would cost more than the bass, and resale value would be through the floor. My solution, which got me half way there was a Sadowsky preamp. On a good day, I can almost imagine I'm playing my Sadowsky Jazz. So get the best preamp you can find.

Short scale 30” bass. I bought this new a few years ago to put on a Roland GK hex pickup hence the two screw holes either side of the bridge. I also managed to knock one of the tuners and dislodge the elephant ear. I spent a few months looking for the right tuner to replace it, when I found a guy on Facebook MP selling the neck (including tuners) for next to nothing. I modded it a little but for fun - it has a daft (and very easy to remove) competition stripe sticker. It came with Jazz bass style knobs (which I have somewhere and will include) which I replaced with some push on black metal jobs I would say the pickups sound really good on this and they have a good hot output. NOTE: the 2nd neck has one broken tuner (the E string one), you can just see it in the pics. I now have another bass which has the GK pickup so this is now up for grabs. Cheap as chips, might be good for a beginner or a modder - fretted and fretless? Collection only at he moment, demos welcome here in London N21, although its in desperate need of a new set of strings! -
I’m going to invoke the law of diminishing returns 🤣

Not used the NU-X but there are other options with similar specs for less money in the budget power supply space. I have one of these and it's been great. They also do a 5, 10 and 12 port supply. https://www.andertons.co.uk/tone-city-8-output-isolated-pedal-power-supply/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20730020346&gbraid=0AAAAADujoUoSLvVhWiQwoeDRzPOnFxbip&gclid=CjwKCAjwobnGBhBNEiwAu2mpFJ1bodTgzPIWgNTCBLmMQCFSL2hYAbIK9Pfnp9n4-8aFB9QIXKriURoCkxQQAvD_BwE

Some 10 years ago I was suddenly hit by the the most debilitating Trace Elliot GAS brought on by my yearning for Trace gear as a teenager. I bought a 2x15 Trace cab, a GP12SMX pre amp and a Trace Power amp. To pair with this monumental rig, I came across this cab which was (according to my old Trace brochures) the perfect companion for the 2x15 as it featured two 5" inch drivers from the bright boxes! It was fun for about 10 minutes until I had to hire a transit van and some very muscular people to lift it into venues for me. I sold all the other bits ages ago, but couldn't let this go for some reason? Now I've finally come to my senses a decided to part with it. Full disclosure when I originally bought it, both the voice coils had gone on the 10" drivers. After some discussion with the incredibly helpful people at Celestion I was advised just to replace both the 10's with modern equivalents: Celestion BL10-200S 16ohm 200watt 10" bass drivers. needless to say it sounds excellent if not better than it started? Note - my old Trace brochures are not included in the sale, nor is the ELF! they are just there for the porn of it. Collection/demo from me here in North London N21 I'll even give you a hand to the car as its a weighty beast.
