Ready to be used in any recording/production space. Bought as a back-up set for my studio, but never needed. These speakers are THX-approved with XLR, jack and phono inputs and room correction switches (for reducing bass frequencies if they are placed close to a wall or corner) to maintain a flat, neutral sound.

  3. PRICE DROP – NOW £130 BOSS DIGITAL DIMENSION DC-3 Chorus Sought-after blue label version, made in Japan. Separate controls rather than fixed presets for maximum flexibility. Can be used in mono or stereo. Very Good condition (a bit of velcro residue on bottom). Only £130. Collection from East London preferred. May ship at buyer expense.
  4. ONE LEFT – PRICE DROP TO £375. Best speaker cabinet I have used: selling due to downsizing. The David Eden 500 watt D210XST Cab is loud enough to be heard and yet still small enough to be used at home or in a small studio. This 2 x 10" cabinet handles more power than many 4 x 10" cabs on the market. The D210XST offers huge bottom end with its cleverly-designed tuned and ported cabinet construction and speaker selection: the low end is full but tight, the mids are open and well-defined and the highs are clear and crisp. Durable build quality makes this ideal for touring and live performances. Massive internal bracing prevents vibration and keeps the sound deep, tight and clear. The exclusive Eden Cast Frame loudspeakers and Eden Cast Bell low distortion tweeter horns are designed, hand-built and tested in their own factory in the USA. Very Good condition. Comes with a new official Eden dustcover. Power Handling: 500 Watts Impedance: 8 Ohms Speakers: 2x10" Eden-spec Eminence speakers Tweeter: Eden Cast Bell low distortion Crossover: 3.5KHz @ 18dB Frequency Response: 30Hz - 14KHz Sensitivity: 103dB SPL Connections: Parallel 1/4 Inch and Speakon Dimensions: 23" w x 18" h x 18.5" d Weight: 59lbs / 26.8kg Only £375. Collection from London E2 please – happy for buyer to arrange a courier.

  6. PRICE DROP – NOW £130 Excellent condition. This totally transparent compressor allows your full dynamic range to shine through until your signal reaches the compression threshold, which is indicated by the ten, highly-visible gain-reduction status LEDs. Only £150. Collection from East London preferred. May ship at buyer expense.
  7. I use a lusithand nfp pre. Its pretty killer.
  8. If you play at home quietly when the kids are asleep, a decent pair of headphones would be a good choice and no risk of waking the rest of the household if you get a little too enthusiastic.
  9. Tried these myself. Too heavy on the rest of the strings! I’d do 42 60 80 110 for drop C#/Dflat. Or just try adding a single 105/110 to what you’ve already got. I really like the D’Addario EXL170BT for a ready made set
  10. SansAmp RPM 19” Rackmount version of the Bass Driver DI but with the sweepable mid (170Hz-3KHz) Semi parametric. Bought new and comes with the original box. Collect from Whitley Bay or meet up. Postage an option. £275 Thanks
  11. Hi The Levy’s goes from 955mm to 1300mm. You could get it even shorter by looping the tail through more holes. Hope that helps Thanks David
  12. Ah, I’m familiar with similar technical exercises. The point of doing them is just that, technique. Your bass has a very ‘medium’ neck on it and shouldn’t pose an issue. Focus on wrist position, hand placement etc. I actually wouldn’t really recommend these types of exercises for beginners. One octave scale pattern are probably sufficient for the time being. Very rarely when playing will you actually need to play 4th string above 12th. Occasionally but rarely.
  13. That's an amazingly positive review, thanks! For around £55 from Ali Express for a set of KZ ZARs, definitely looking like one of this year's best value investments for both of us!
  14. That was my initial impression, but I did gigs the last two saturdays with them and on those gigs, specifically the last gig, my in ear sound was the best I have had. In fact it was the best on stage sound I have had full stop and as a result I felt I played better because I was so into the sound I was getting. Obviously on the other threads as I said, the ME90b was also new which helped the sound it was making, but the sound in my ears was just really good, very full and much more rounded than I had before and some part of that has to be the earphones.
  15. This fantastic bitsa bass was purchased off a fellow Basschatter a number of months ago but I have further enhanced it as you will see below. For complete transparency, the original advert is linked below. Gunnar did a great job in the build but when I received it I decided to take a it a few notches up. Firstly the basic specs: 2023 Fender Precision American Original Neck, purchased from Thomann. Note these necks are manufactured true to the AO specs - this means in this instance the logos / decals are applied ON TOP of the lacquer finish on the neck. Also the truss rod is located at the heel of the neck. Custom Solderless P Bass harness, Alpha A250k solid shaft pots. Fender Pure Vintage '63 Precision Bass Pickups - these sound lovely btw, that true classic 60s Fender sound 2 Piece alder American alder body with custom nitro sunburst finish - note that due to the nitro finish the body has a few dings and wear on the body but these fit in very nicely with the overall aged look of the bass. There are no major dings / bumps / scrapes. Aged vintage tuners. Ash tray and pick up cover Since I took it the following has also been done: A full setup by one of Staffordshire's best. A brand new semi permanent shim has been added to the neck pocket to balance the neck out. The action was quite high, the old shim was removed and this new shim has brought it signincantly in line to a very playable low / medium action. A full truss rod adjustment with the new shim in place Internal cavities have been fully copper shielded with tape - this has virtually removed any buzz that was present (even with treble maxed out) Neck cavity screws have been replaced with official Fender screws Minor hardware adjustments including reseating the tuners and replacing pickguard screws with official Fender vintage Strings were replaced with Rotosound 105 nickels It's now in a position where it is a very playable bass. As you can see from the specs, the cost of the sum of the parts far outweighs the asking price and it now plays very much like a complete Fender. Wesight on the bathroom scales is 9 lbs. I will also supply the original pickup box which has the original brass base, this didn't fit this particular body so a different one was added, but I'll include the original. This also comes with a Gator hardcase as you can see in the pictures. I'm based just a few minutes from Junction 10 of the M6 (Walsall / Wolverhampton) and collection is preferred but I'm willing to travel a reasonable distance and maybe meet halfway. Happy for you to test it out on my practice amp at my place too. Potentially could mail this due to the hard case and I have a suitable box, but at a cost to you - lets have a chat about it via DM. Cheers.
  16. Stripped this bass body as I can't stand thick Poly. It's all ready for a light sanding and nitro refinish. If I can find my NW guitars daphne blue rattle can, I'll throw that in as well. Body is Classic Series MIM P BAss.
  17. Neil just bought a preamp from me, super easy transaction and a pleasure to do business with. Thanks Neil
  18. @Woodinblack good to hear that, as I thought from your initial comment on May 1st the ZAR's hadn't been much of an upgrade over the ZS10s, but I may have been mis-reading your comment? As you'll have gathered from my own comments a few weeks back, I'm very much of the view that the ZARs are a noticeable step up in sound / listening experience over the ZS10s (and also over the Sennheiser 300 and Shure SE215 and 315 sets I previously had) and seems that there's a bit of a consensus starting to build on that from those of us who have tried them.
