EBS Runsten - Multi DC Isolated Pedal Power Supply
Rich replied to Dood's topic in Hardware & Accessories
Outstanding review as always Looks like a good unit, and I like that they've included the adaptor options for those odd stomps that refuse to be like all the others. The 9/12 volt switching is good, but an 18v option would would have been good. It's a pretty crowded marketplace, so it'll be interesting to see how it fares against the established opposition. -

Mine also came stock with DRs. I could never quite get on with them personally. I found a set of what I think are D'Addario nickels with the B string cut down (I got quite good at it back when S/S 5 string sets were near impossible to find) and they sound great! B sustains for days now! -

Thanks. I wonder if the temp sensor is cooked? I will see if I can find it and test it.

Looking forward to seeing my friends in the fantastic Steely Dan tribute 'Simply Dan' at 'Wokingham Music Club' at the Royal British Legion this Friday night!

Good shout. Adding a sub and taking some of the heavy lifting from your top boxes can give a surprising improvement. You can drive the tops harder if they don't have to cope with the low end and get a lot more out of them.

One in, one out. We all know the score. A cracking bass, made in 2023 and as good as the day it was made. 35" scale so the low B is nice and tight (firm?) and with a zero fret. Three band Glockenklang eq with push pull on the master volume to bypass to passive (passive treble cut on treble knob) Sandberg Musicman style hum bucker in Stingray position, so it's a pretty good alternative to a Stingray 5 that won't break the bank or bugger your back. In it's original Sandberg gig bag. Completely unmolested or modified from factory spec. Weight is 8lb 10 Oz, nicely balanced! I honestly can't find a mark on it, a little polishing of the back of the neck from play but no dings, gouges or scratches I can find. I'm in Leicestershire so not too far from most places, will consider a meet up or happy for you to collect. Not really happy to post as it's not in a hard case.

That’s why I think the new OBM500 is a better choice for £499 Nothing you don’t need and everything you do plus U.K. built
-
Those QSC speakers are well respected so unless you are desperate to “update”, I would look at adding a sub that you can take along only when you need it.

I really hope it's "one of a kind"!

I did look at buying SH but all the sellers mucked me about or just wanted too much. Had I gone for a system it would have been the RCF EVOX.

Harley Benton flats - they're a bit good!
Stub Mandrel replied to mcnach's topic in Accessories and Misc
This made me go and check my bass with HB flats on. Hideoeus rattling! Then I noticed the neck relief had disappeared, so I slacked the truss rod off by 1/3 turn, all quiet now. - Today

I was wondering if anyone who owns a StroboStomp HD could please do a little experiment for me before I buy one While the pedal is powered from the battery only, could you please plug a cable into the tuner input and tell me: - Does the pedal boot into the tuner/muted state? - Is there any pop or noise from the output when doing this? I found a reference to the 'Power Up Mute State' in their firmware documentation, so it's my impression that its possible to power on the pedal while on battery power without any nasty output pops. Thanks!

I have an old set of LaBella short flats currently on my starcaster bass where the windings on the A string feel bumpy where the other strings are smooth — I think all string manufacturers can have the occasional QC issue. -

For sale, this fantastic pedal by Origin Effects; the DCX Bass. Works as an EQ/Preamp or a drive, depending on the settings, and does a great job at both. It truly is an outstanding pedal but it doesn’t fit my current sonic needs. Happy to ship in the UK for a fiver, or collection in Edinburgh. Thank you!

Lovely - bit of Harmony / Ric vibe going on there......

Attended the Classic Rock Show midweek, a great mix of songs, sung and played to a very high standard by a bunch of very gifted musicians, the bass player (Wayne Banks) was very energetic on stage, played extremely well and had a huge presence in the overall mix.
