    Moog Minitaur Bass Synth Module This is the up to date v 2.2 edition, comes complete with box, PSU and manuals. Lovely two oscillator synth specifically voiced for bass but can produce lead sounds too. The ladder filter is classic Moog with weight and width to the oscillators. It is a US made synth - Moog has since changed ownership and now mainly manufactured in the far east. The Minitaur is well constructed in a pressed steel case with nice positive action on all buttons and knobs. It is based on the classic Moog Taurus bass pedals of the 70’s as used by Rush, Genesis, Yes and more. All works as it ought to with plenty of control via the front panel, also presets and the ability to hook up to a computer and fine tweak sounds via free Moog software. The module is in excellent condition albeit with some cosmetic ‘rack rash’ on the sides of the unit. UK only, I’d prefer pick up in person but can post at buyer’s expense.

    Just tried them together but only at home volume one 122 cab nice tone adding 102 cab volume increases ( as expected ) and more bass apparent Not sure if more bass is due to the increase in volume ? Need to crank them loud at rehearsal and see if I like the combination for those bigger gigs where I want a bit more “ cab” Doesn’t sound wrong or bad just different I have plenty of amp power with my TE1200 so I don’t need both cabs for the watts as at 8homs it’s rated around 700w so that’s ok I feel with my 122 800w cab.

    This is why every firms "Plexi" amp model sounds different too - they all used a different favourite plexi to model and as we know even plexis made next to each other can sound very different. Then there's different approaches. Fractal have always presented a "perfected" version of a model for ease of use and Line 6 went for warts and all accuracy but that needs a bit more experience to dial in and leads to some people thinking the models are wrong. The new L6 stadium apparently has both options. And then of course finally you get those who say "That doesn't sound like a real XX" even though they've never been in a room with a real XX. Plexi and Dual Recs get that the most. Complaining that the plexi isn't high gain (FFS) and complaining that the Dual Rec is flubby and not a metal super amp (it isn't. Not without boosts and drives).

    I agree with @Hellzero it's a good idea to do at least one classical piece. Even though they're only grade 3, there's a lot to unpick in these pieces - they've stood the test of time for good reason! Avoiding classical stuff entirely now leaves holes in fundamental piano technique and musical understanding that will be harder to fill later. Having said that, the Muppet Show Theme is also very good for chord theory/harmony and counterpoint, so that should stay!

    Yes it does! Congratulations. I have a “Chan Armstrong” lucite bass and was pleasantly surprised by the build quality.

    The thing I find though is just because a company says it had digitally recreated something, doesn't mean it's a good recreation. Helix say they recreate it, as do Zoom, and Boss, all to varying levels of success. I dunno, but I'd assume sansamp can do sansamp better than anyone else, perhaps not though.

    I found sticking to slow practice with clear fingering made everything click faster. Mixing in short, fun pieces between grade work kept me motivated and made reading both clefs feel more natural.

    That's very kind, thank you. No pressure at all, I still use the Noble I bought from you, jut interested in a comparison. Might be nice to shrink the pedal board down, and save a few pounds, but I'm not in a rush.

    Here we have my DBX DriveRack PX professional loudspeaker management processor with matching DBX reference microphone for sale. I am the second owner, and this has lived in a flightcase all its life alongside my mixing console. Condition is used, although the reference mic was new this year (2025) has never been used in anger. A great tool for those of us who mix live sound from stage side whilst playing. I’m only selling as I have now upgraded my bass bins to a matching pair to my tops so will be using the internal crossovers to cut down on the weight of gear I shlep to gigs. Because I am inherently lazy, I asked ChatGPT to describe the functionality and this is what it came up with, which sounds accurate to me based on my experience. “The DBX DriveRack PX is a professional loudspeaker management system that optimises live sound systems. It combines automatic room tuning, crossover control, EQ, dynamics, and feedback suppression in one rack-mount unit. Using the included DBXRTA-M measurement microphone, you can run auto-EQ and real-time analysis to tailor your speakers and subs for smooth, balanced frequency response in any venue. Other key features include configurable crossovers, delay alignment, compression/limiting, and feedback elimination, making it ideal for PA systems, bands, DJs, and event sound setups.” I’m looking for £300 for the DriveRack and reference mic, or £250 for the DriveRack and £50 for the microphone. Collection from Killingworth Newcastle upon Tyne, or delivery at the buyers cost and risk. Any questions, please ask!

    Had this delivered from Bass Direct today. Very happy so far. It's the first Spector I've tried, but from listening online I thought I'd like it and it's exactly what I hoped it would be. To my ears, it sounds huge compared to my other two basses (Andertons Eastcoast PJ, which I actually really like, and a Sire M6 that is going back), the pickups seem to have loads of clarity. I'd like a little higher string tension but I'll likely put some flats or half rounds on it, no rush though. Maybe the IMA super polished. The black plastic knob caps look a bit cheap compared to the rest of it IMO, so going to add some gold ones It has a little bit of neck dive, not terrible but I might try weighting the bridge end of the strap Then I'm going to 3D print a finger ramp to go between the two pickups It doesn't have a passive mode and I didn't realise that it doesn't appear to have a battery access door...removing screws to get to the battery isn't my favourite. But for how it sounds and plays, whatever, it's not going back.

    From a pure technical point of view you'll learn more from the classical pieces than the "pop" ones especially at this grade (next ones have harder "pop" tunes). Furthermore, the classical pieces will help you more for the next grade from the pianistic technique point of view. Pick up at least one classical, the Mozart's Allegro in F, for instance, is really interesting for your technique and it's in 3/8. The 3 pieces you've chosen are the easiest to play and won't make you a better player, technically speaking, which is very important for the future. For your further musical education, you should choose two harder to play classical pieces (the Bartók's Allegretto isn't that complicated) and one easy to play piece (The Tarantella Twist, which is reminiscent to Beethoven), not the opposite or only easy to play tunes... You'll thank me at next grade(s). 😉

    It's filed in the same drawer as rack straying over the sides of the cab underneath. A drawer that must not be opened!!

    I'm not averse to a charity gig, for a charity with which I have sympathy. If I agree to do it, I'm not interested in any other financial arrangements. I make the decision entirely based on my own parameters. If they're met, I'm ok with it. If expenses are offered (or a fee), it's a bonus.

    I've carried out some testing of cabs loaded with different drivers. The results showed that two cabinets with a similar frequency response will usually work as a stack. They don't have to be fitted with same-size drivers; they just need to be close tonally.

    They're struggling on but I've seen quite a few new Sportsters and Pan Europeans recently. Personally Id rather have Triumphs version of either of those. Harley, like American car manufacturers only build products for the American market and don't consider what the rest of the world wants

    NBD: Stingray

    Kev replied to uk_lefty's topic in Bass Guitars

    I'm really not trying to irritate you 😅 but all I can see on that graph it at 50% centre position, all frequencies are around 0db, with bass at 0% it cuts everything under 250hz by about 6db, treble at 0% as much as 13db. Highly asymmetrical, but it definitely doesn't seem flat at 0%, particularly in the highs, which I would have thought would be pretty noticeable on a Stingray pre?

    So it's essentially a drive focussed multifx? Just wondering (other than XLR out) what it's offering over some of the more popular multifx's some of which have very usable drive patches? I guess, fingers crossed, it will be nailing the classic sansamp sound better than most!

    I think a passive Ray ( with Flats ) is the way to go 😉🤔 Looks lush fella
