I use the G quite a lot in my band, but that’s down to the genre (Mod, Northern Soul, etc) and the original recordings use that pert of the neck quite a bit it seems (early systems being less able in the low hz dept). However, I reckon I could go a gauge heavier on the G, just for a more even tone (I already use 45-100 to try & achieve that).

Yeh exactly what @MrDinsdale says, so for example there’s guy done DCX Bass captures - he’s done all the example settings and a few others, so you can select any of them to use if you download them. I just guessed how to do it, but it’s super easy. Basically go to www.tone3000.com and download the NAM files you want, they’re zip files so unpack them first. Then connect your Anagram to the computer and the DG suite etc, then go to ‘Asset Loader’ then select NAM or Neural uploads - it’s next to the IR tab which is what it opens up to when you select asset loader. Then it’s just ‘select files to upload’ and you go upload the NAM files you’ve downloaded to your computer. They all upload as Amps by default but you change it to Pedal or Misc - the reason this matters is when you select a Neural Amp block there is a 4 band EQ with 2 x mid frequency selection), Neural Pedal has input/output Bol and blend (the most useful control on the whole pedal for me), and Misc just has input/output vol. It’s really intuitive, and super easy to do - and this is from someone who had a Stomp for 6 months before actually learning how to do snapshot mode properly 😁 you really can’t go wrong,

I like a played-in wooden neck with either very worn nitro or oil finish. If someone could make me a graphite neck with that feel I’d be very happy 👍 -
Guys and Gals - it's a bit of fun! New IEMs are part of PA, so T2 fail under the rules which are quite clear. But so what? If you're pro or semi-pro then buy what you need to do the job to the standard required, but accept that the challenge is as written and not really aimed at you. It's at those of us <ahem> who like buying stuff because it's interesting/fun/cool/collectable or whatever but we don't need it and really should be practicing instead. @SimonK If your church has just gone IEM and you need to buy a Behringer P1 then it’s still a fail, but nobody here will excomunicate you.

NAM is essentially a virtual snapshot of a piece of gear, could be an amp or a pedal that can’t be created and shared by users. It can’t do modulation, time based effects etc right now, it’s mostly just preamps and drives etc. They’re typically very realistic in how they react and allow you to share gear captures of gear that might be hard to obtain. Its just a snapshot of the gear with a specific set of controls though, the block has some gain, eq, and volume controls but they’re not necessarily going to respond the same as the actual gear would so you really have to create multiple captures of the gear with different settings. They’re well worth experimenting with, in my experience a good capture can sound excellent. Particularly when you want to experiment with stuff that’s a bit off the beaten track.

I realised that I don't touch my G string (the one on my bass) while playing with either of my metal bands or while playing any of my favourite covers at home. Is this unusual? I play notes that exist on the G but find they sound better on the D or A string. I have quite a bright tone with quite a lot of high mids so maybe Ive made it unusable. Whatever the reason, I replaced a probably unused G with the rest of my strings earlier.

That's a very nice example of a rare bass, and I would say a very good price. Fwiw there are MIJ Washburn & Daion/Yamaki - specific FB groups where there might be significant interest in something like this. GLWTS! -
GAS is a hell of a thing 😁 -
Tracking showing it's done a pair of airline flights this weekend. What fun!

Thanks Woody. But that's an additional point to amplification though? And would on the face of it apply to any IEM whether wired or wireless being fed into an aux-out? I see that the 6 aux-outs of the Beheringer XAir XR18 are all 3 pin XLR - so no possibility of putting a normal headphone jack into those sockets, plus one headphone out? The aux out sockets on the CQ18 are balanced mono, and I remember you saying that most aux outs are similarly mono? Now the Xvive U4s we used are also mono - so I guess that deals with any phasing issues for those particular devices? But given what you're saying, that then leaves the question as to why we or anyone gets a clear feed into stereo IEM headphones where the balanced mono of an aux output is being matched with an unbalanced stereo jack? -
Another shout for the Bose S1 battery (or mains) powered PA here. I've had mine for several years now, and have used it for busking, and folk pub-jams. I also used it for a couple of small, acoustic gigs. It's loud for its size, and very portable. It also has 2 standard jack / mic inputs, and a mini-jack for MP3 players / phones etc. As has been mentioned - it ain't cheap, but much louder than the Micro Bass Cube. Quality build and sound though. Oh, and you can link them up if you have two (possibly more?).

Good call do you have a link?

I'm winding everything back now and having a clearcut of all the stuff I'm unlikely to ever use again. I'm open to sensible offers for any of these - the £900 shown in the listing is for the whole lot, collected. Prices include postage to UK addresses apart from the Take 5 - please PM to discuss collection or delivery options for that. Given that this is a clearout, I'm not really looking for swaps but feel free to let me know if you have anything - to be honest, it's unlikely but you never know! Sequential Take 5 analogue synth - immaculate condition, boxed, upgraded to the latest firmware and patches £750 Zoom R12 portable multitrack recorder - bought to record the band at rehearsal and only used once before the band imploded. Boxed, immaculate £150 Roland VT4 voice transformer - bought when I entertained fantasies of singing backing vox. Again, used just the once and then retired along with the rest of my dreams. £125 UNO drum machine - a great little drum machine, fantastic for giving us a basic beat whenever the drummer failed to make rehearsals. Light usage, boxed and immaculate condition £100 Waldorf Streichfett string synth - surprisingly versatile little synth that does a great job of recreating the sound of 70s string synths. Immaculate, boxed £150 Thanks for looking - if you have any questions or would like photographs, please PM -
Virtually new Fender Bassman 100 cover from Roqsolid, i got it to use while my flightcase was being manufactured so was only used briefly. Its a little dusty but will wipe. They're about £65 new + shipping Cover is in Hope Valley, happy to post within UK, probably gonna cost a tenner just for how small it doesn't fold up. -
For sale, my Octave Mandola OR Octave Mandolin (they are the same thing). Shorter scale than an Irish Bouzouki, this one is tuned GDAE in unison pairs (or courses). Condition is excellent, not quite mint and includes a nice TGI gig bag that is a perfect fit. Mandola is in Hope Valley (S33 6SB) for local collection or I could deliver locally too. Could attempt uk posting but it isn't as solid as a bass so I'd be a bit wary of that. -
A few more bits from my now much tidier box of stuff, 2no Diago brand 18v adaptors (£15 +p&p each new) £15 inc uk postage for the pair. They're in Hope Valley if you're passing but uk postage is easily sorted for these. - Today

EMG J Set Pickups

Have DMd you -
It really is a great pedal -
I have a short scale (smaller than 30") which was built by Jabba. I didn't order or commission it - I got it used, on the marketplace on this forum. The bass is a thing of beauty. It's a really well crafted instrument of very high quality indeed. @Jabba_the_gut's work is of a consistently high level of quality when I see his builds on here.

Very reluctant sale, but this deserves to be played, not stored. After waiting for a long time, 2 of these came along at once but as I just lost my job. I've kept the 1994 one as that was the same year as my first bass so a bit sentimental. These early MIJ TRBs are widely regarded as the best of the line. Built when Yamaha were quietly producing genuinely world class instruments used by the best. And still used by the best if they know. Specs Model: Yamaha TRB-6 Year: 1996 Made in Japan Black Translucent Finish 6-string Bolt-on neck Active electronics Includes hard case Condition For a 30-year-old instrument, it’s in great condition. The neck, which is a particular strength of these instruments, in particular feels almost new. Straight, stable, truss rod works perfectly. Frets are in excellent shape. Electronics are clean and quiet, and after 30 years most others have wear on the pickup and gold Yamaha kogos. Not here, this looks almost new. Only notable cosmetic issues to call out are a few minor marks on the lower edge of the headstock and on the upper horn, where a previous owner seemingly fitted straplocks and damaged the finish (see photo). Sure the right person could even buff to a shine if bother. You can’t see it when a strap is on and it’s purely cosmetic. How it plays If you know you know. I'm adamant these are the best 6 strings built. Effortless action, massive low end, clear and articulate top end. Accessible right up to 24th fret across almost all of the strings. Classic TRB sound. These early Japanese builds were made to a standard most custom builders would be proud of. Open to sensible offers. Collection preferred. Or I can maybe help meet within reasonable distance. Would rather not ship but can discuss this at owners risk. Happy to answer questions or provide more photos.
