Hey all - Bought this from Shoulderpet a few weeks ago but not my thing so here it is back up for sale. (Cheeky use of Shoulderpet's photo too). Pedal is boxed and price includes shipping within UK. -
Long horrible journey to Abertillery, a mining town where the average road gradient is about 45º. The local Blues club. They were a bit disappointed with an attendance of 80 people at £5 a head, which filled the place and we thought was excellent on such a grim nightn although the venue looked welcoming on a dark night. Bluesfire so LOTS of pa, lights etc. Played from 8:30 to 11+ with a raffle break. Nice little stage and great sound as good ceiling, carpet and plenty of bodies to control the sound. My rig has been sounding glorious since I just boosted a mids a bit. Could barely hear my voice in the monitor though. First time they've only used one sub and to my ears the low end sounded much better. We got a rapturous reception and were more free and improvisational than usual which was mostly fun and occasionally hairy. By the end I felt like I'd been beaten up, so the long slow load out and hour's drive in more rain were tedious. In bed at 1:45. Another gig tonight with Bendricks Rock nearly two hours away. Fortunately singer will drive. I see much ibuprofen in my future. I hope my body copes with this two month glut of gigs.

Hi All, My Ashdown amp is for sale due to repurchasing an amp I sold on here last year, so I have enough amps. It's the current model and purchased new last year. Last gigged this past Saturday and sounding monstrous through my Barefaced 2x12. I noticed it could do with a wipe on the casing after I took the photos. There's no scratches or dents to the casing. Always protected when transported. Looking for £400 posted or £385 cash on collection. Thanks for looking.-

only because I have the SVT 4 Pro and a few other bits mounted in a rack, so it's convenient for it to be rackmount, but pedal style pres are all over the place and rackmount is rare these days. I'd love to find one but they seem to be rare as hen's teeth. Really a bit of hair is all I'm looking for. I think I'll invest in a TB600 as it's the same front end and then at least I can see if I like the tones. Plus the drive is footswitchable on that, right?

On hold pending a trade for a gorgeous ACG. Maybe there is indeed a God out there. 🤣 -
Lovely circa 87 MIJ 57 Reissue P Bass in Candy Apple Red. £950 with hard case. PB57-55 I think. Maple neck. E serial number, Fujigen Gakki-made. It's a lovely bass, I've just never really got on with the neck shape. Some oxidation on metalware and some road dinks - see pics - but in great condition/playability. Comes with after-market heavy(!) duty case. I'd prefer collection only (west London) as it's so heavy (due to the case), but open to discussing couriers. -
🤣 that's why I had to make it my main bass, so it would force me to get comfortable with it! I must say though, the thin flat neck really makes a difference to the ease of play. I would love to try the 4 string version for comparison

Have to wonder how well this would work with a bass...has anybody here tried one? Love the idea but also hard to imagine how this would sound...now I need to know! 🤣

I've taken up folks' suggestion to raise this with A&H, and they have been supportive so far and allowed me to make a warranty claim with Audio Technica, notwithstanding the fact that it is outside the 12 month warranty period. Very reassuring customer service by them so far!

Excellent. I have one of the full size Orchid DI boxes (with a latching mute) and am also impressed. Thanks for posting this - it makes me realise that I don't need to spend loads on a high-end DI / preamp (even if I want to!)

First of all not all bands are rock bands, some may not even have a drummer, people who play quieter genres of music still need an amplifier if they play electric bass. Secondly we don't all use our amps to fill a room with sound. In my current band the bass amp is just a monitor for the band. The audience hear my bass through the PA. My bass amp only needs to fill the stage and if it is too loud it ends up going through the vocal mics and distorts the sound for the audience. If you are so loud that only a 500W amp will do then your band probably sounds quite poor however well you play because of the volume in the vocal mics. Finally you need to take account of the range of speakers we all use. A 100W amp through a 102db/W is going to be louder than a 300W amp through a 96db/W speaker. Like most people who are commenting I carry a 200/130W micro amp as a backup to my 500/300W amp but I tend to use the smaller amp almost all of the time as it is more than loud enough for the gigs I do.

That's a steal -
It's a bit academic nowadays, as watts have become cheaper and more plentiful. As others point out, the difference between 50 and 500 watts is only around twice the volume (depending on speaker efficiency, eq choices, etc). And that's before you get into the minefield that is wattage, how much difference quoted/claimed figures actually make and so on. Class D has meant high powered amps are small and light, so there is no longer a need to have large and smaller amps. I use either of my heads (700w or 1000w claimed) for practice and small gigs with one or two cabs and keep the volume down. If I need to make more noise, I simply add more cabs and turn up the wick.

New one on the bench which is a slow time build and this might divide opinion… 😅 This ziricote top has just been glued up and is to be attached to a sapele body, after which it’ll become a MM StingRay-style build. Except… it’s getting a Jazz bass neck. Because why not. I’ve always liked the StingRay pickup position and punch, but I’m also a Jazz neck tragic, so this feels like a perfectly reasonable life choice rather than a cry for help. Before I commit to routing, I’d love some pickup wisdom from the hive mind: • Classic StingRay vibe vs something a bit more modern? • Alnico vs ceramic? • Any particular MM pickups that play especially nicely with warmer woods like sapele/ziricote? Nordstrand, Aguilar, Delano, Seymour Duncan, Wizard, home-wound madness — all suggestions welcome. Bonus points if you’ve tried an MM + Jazz neck combo and lived to tell the tale. Cheers all👍🏼

You are not alone, they look great. Definitely tones down the bling factor.

Gallien Krueger Fusion 550 hybrid amp - now £535
ern500evo replied to Berserker's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Absolutely fantastic amps. Wanted one for years after playing through one at a multi band line up gig years ago, but they always came up at the wrong time. When I did finally get my hands on one, it was even better than I remembered. Glwts -

Cornwall Steve replied to Cornwall Steve's topic in Bass Guitars
Hi Terry Hope you don't mind me asking. Just picking up on this suggestion you posted a few days ago, I've stumbled across a black TRB1005J being advertised fairly local (just a 300 mile round trip which for Cornwall is considered as local 😂). The vendor has confessed he's selling because he can't get on with the flat fret board. I've come across this watching and reading on line reviews, sometimes this has attracted a fair bit of criticism. Did you find it a bit hard to get on with, or is it nothing really too much to worry about? I've never even seen a TRB let alone played one but I somehow feel your suggestion to consider getting one could be a good shout. I bought a TRBX605 brand new from Yamaha a couple of years ago but TBH I was a bit disappointed (and I'm a very big Yammie fan) and sold it on. Don't recall it having a flat fret board though. Thanks in anticipation Steve - Today
