    Thanks all, I’m not worried too much but it is a hassle. Let’s hope it goes smoothly 😕

    For sale is my TC Electronic GMajor-2 multi effects unit in fully working condition and updated to the latest firmware. Pictures show it in its usual rack home (rack not included). Although most of the standard effects are aimed at the guitarist I have found the compressor, gate, flanger, phaser and octaver (up and down) etc. to be very useable for bass. I can either factory reset before shipping or leave the presets I have created intalled. It has built in EQ, noise gate, compressor, reverbs, delays, wahs, octaver, tremolo, phaser, flanger etc each of which can be switched in / out from the front panel as required. I have been using this via my amps effects loop and found the compressor (and all the effects) just add their effect without changing the fundamental sound of the bass. Comes with original box and operating manual. You can use the unit in your DAW as well as with your bass / guitar etc. Patches can be easily selected from the front panel or attach a midi-pedal (I used a MidiMoose). There is also some Vyzor software you can download from the net which allows you to interface your PC with the GMajor-2 to edit and backup your user patches. I have also attached the GMajor-2 and Vyzor manuals below. tc_electronic_g-major_2_manual_english.pdfVyzor_G-Major2_Quick-Start.pdf I estimate UK shipping about £10 to £15.

    1 rack unit is gone so the only one left is the lower one in the photos. For sale is my used but not abused EMS 500 19" rack case. The rack is currently assembled as 6U but can be reconfigured as 3U, 6U simply by removing some bolts and panels - 10 min job! You can also configure it so the top removes for mixers. The rack is currently assembled to a board with castors which isn't included in the sale and will be removed before shipping.........unless you really, really want it and then it would be an extra £20 and whatever the increased postage is. These are quite special cases as they are modular construction where you can increase or decrease the number of rack spaces by easily adding or removing side and end panels. All you need is an allen key! You can also use them with a mixer installed in the top and the top panel can be easily removed! See the photo of how I had the units set up for my band PA. (None of the rack equipment is included.) All catches etc are in good condition. Rack to rack depth is 48cm. Weight per 6U assembly is 18lbs / 8.2kg. See the attached brochure for more details. The 6U Gator version of this case weighs 13lbs so slightly lighter but is NOT as rigid, road resilient or has the flexiblity options. As these are modular I would propose they are dismantled and flat packed for shipping to reduce the cost. I'll give details on how to re-assemble if you need but its quite straight forward. I've estimated UK postage to be £15 per unit. 6U Rack Unit 2 - the lower 6U rack unit in the photos on its own - £90 / Board with castors - £20 / Both together £100. Shipping Extra EMS.pdf

    In the last 35 years I bought a total of 3 basses that I tried before parting with my cash. The fact that I don't own any of them now, but do own 3 basses that I bought on-line either direct from the manufacturer or off eBay without being able to play them first should say something. IME it is impossible to make a proper decision about the suitability of an instrument until you have put it to its intended use. If you play in a band that means at least one rehearsal and ideally one gig.

    Ain't it the truth. Ruins your bass too, all that nonsense. Mine get more dog-eared every gig.

    Jaco's bass part to the tune 'When It Was Now' from the 1982 Weather Report album, 'Weather Report'. Not a great record for Pastorius aficionados but it has it's moments. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/when-it-was-now-weather-report/

    What’s it like with double bass?

    As @HeadlessBassist alludes to above, it depends on your own attitude to risk. I have bought basses unseen, but only from this forum and from people who have good feedback. In your position I think I’d put a Wanted add on Basschat and stipulate that you need to be able to collect/take delivery or meet-up. Good luck.

    I only just got a stingray, a HH 5-string (2017 IIRC) with the 3-band. I was impressed that the Q wasn't ridiculous - there's so many preamps out there with unusable EQ ranges - like half of the range - but that stingray EQ is musical across all 3 at all 3 extremes, no pot travel is wasted. Ive got OBP-3s in a number of basses and those preamps have ridiculous bass boost you just don't use half of. I love a subtle EQ.

    What *have* I done!?? I've just ordered a Cioks 8 Extender for my DC7. Too many pedals doubled up on single outputs. Messy. Image from the website, obviously. I'm about to switch from a modest home made wooden board to a Pedaltrain Novo 24.....which is enormous and completely overkill. I'll get my Dunlop wah back on the board though. Will post pics when I get it figured out. Next big purchase will probably be a Darkglass Bk7 ultra pedal.

    The headlining Bredon Cider Festival gig with Jagged Little Alanis from a couple of weeks ago is the gift that keeps on giving. The official photographers have been rolling out loads of stuff but these ones are amazing - love his edits! 🙂

    The other part of this equation is that more and more bands are going down the ampless route these days, using modellers and IEMs. So their entire rig can fit in a gig bag and a backpack, and is therefore easy to take on public transport. Maybe not if you're a drummer, but for the rest of us? Definitely an option. I'm not a convert, personally (vocals - yes, bass - no!) but it does seem to be the way things are going, and if a fringe benefit is that it means less cars on the road, including mine, then that's a good thing. Plus not having to faff about with parking, etc is always a bonus.
  25. Paddy Morris
    I'm definitely getting one. A Gollihur recommendation is the gold standard. I had a complaint that there wasn't enough bass spinning at our last gig. Never mind that I played quite a few of the right notes, some of them in the right order! Unless there are also bass-related acrobatics involved, people don't feel they've had their money's worth FFS.

    Firstly, remember that Reverb prices are always 'jacked up' significantly from what the seller actually gets. I'd say the Cort A5 series are always a better bet than the Squier, which mainly have a very cheap preamp in them. There are some passive ones, but you don't see them come up very often. The CORTs are always really nice and consistent basses. If you get the Bartolini preamp and pickups you're getting a good all-round bass. Some of them even have MarkBass preamps. I'll PM you another option as a buyer, too. Buying sight unseen is always going to be a gamble. But I sympathize with you on the demise of most of the big music shops these days.

    psu and box. £60 posted within mainland UK. Can be collected in Aylesbury. The in-famous pitch correction effect... From the wildly popular HardTune effect to subtle pitch correction and gender manipulation, VoiceTone C1 opens up new vocal territory in an easy-to-use stompbox. Main Features "Mild to Wild" pitch correction effects Connects between your mic and mixer High quality signal path and tough enclosure Can be chained to additional VoiceTone Singles Mic-Control offers remote on/off via TC-Helicon MP-75 microphone Mild to Wild Pitch Correction Processing VoiceTone C1 has clean, transparent correction capability with unique control of musical input via the guitar input if desired. When transparency isn't your bag, cranking the attack and gender controls will turn the C1's pitch correction into the robotic modern effect heard everywhere. As simple as plugging in your mic Gaining access to the studio quality sounds and intelligent processing of VoiceTone singles is as simple as plugging in your mic and turning the effect on. Of course, you can always change the style or the amount of effect, but you shouldn't need to unfold the manual unless you're making a fire. Strong family genes Each VoiceTone single shares the same genes: a clean, quiet mic preamp that rivals high-end touring mixers, a die-cast metal case, rubberized no-slip base, studio quality analog to digital conversion, and the same quality processing you'd expect from our flagship vocal processors like VoiceLive 2. All new Mic Control feature The revolutionary and patent pending Mic Control circuit is built into each VoiceTone single pedal. This allows TC-Helicon's MP-75 Modern Performance Vocal microphone's thumb switch to turn your VoiceTone single's effect on and off. Picture having the freedom to kick-in your vocal effect while working the stage, not gazing at your feet. It gets really cool when you chain multiple VoiceTone singles pedals together and control each one independently or turn them all on or off in combination.

    Not sure, probably break even on my costs but I'd be surprised if I got anything more than that. I have no immediate plans to sell though. I had a look online while I was working on this thing – checked out various listings on reverb, ebay, etc. It seems that no-one is really sure how to price these basses at the moment. Some slightly manky ones are on offer for £250-350, while others are listed for as much as £800. The Bass Gallery has one that they recently got in for £550, though it looks to be in very good condition. Almost every listing has a decription that is riddled with bizarre inaccuracies, and there doesn't seem to be any significant difference in pricing between the active, passive and later "Custom" models (with the J-style pickups). Curiously, Hohner's own website says these basses were first made in 1988 but this one has a 1987 serial, and there are a lot of posts online from people who claim to remember seeing/owning/selling them as far back as 1986. I think the rather forgotten nature of these instruments reflects the abrupt cultural shift that happened in the early 1990s. The eighties were, I'd argue, the last period (in the West at least) when "new" and "hi-tech" was generally considered to be automatically better than "old" and "traditional". The headless bass was a classic example of that sort of technological optimism – it was marketed as the improved, more rationally designed and technologically advanced form of the electric bass. The bass of the future! When grunge hit the cultural mainstream, that was all flipped on its head. The most important thing (certainly in music) was the appearance of authenticity, which meant a sort of outsider aesthetic complete with old, second-hand guitars, clothes from charity shops, and so forth. A glossy, hi-tech futuristic bass suddenly looked corporate and lame. As a result, I think these models experienced a calamitous fall from the height of cool to deeply, profoundly uncool in a matter of a few years. I suspect that, despite being really well made instruments, their value on the second-hand market is still – even now – recovering from that initial blow to their reputation.

    It is strung B-C, weight wise I'm not to sure of the exact number (will try and get hold of it) but compared to my other basses its very manageable and not a lead weight by any means Not after trades, but happy to negotiate if you have a number to offer...
