Here's your pic with the connection schematics added above each board. The pickup wires connect as you say to the BTB board on the right. Looks like the battery wires go to the floating connector with the red and black wires. By convention the red wire should be +ve but you can check that by tracing it back to where it's connected to the board and comparing with the schematic.

That would make sense (and fine as I have a battery compartment already in the bass). So the battery connects to that connector block above the control plate at the top of my picture.

That's a good take on it. I suppose there are those chord playing 6 string bass jazz types, and guitarists that have been forced to play bass so try and play as many notes as quickly as possible to show skill, and the sort of virtuoso fast playing that gets YouTube clips. They might might all have a different take on it.... But for any band I've been in it's much more about timing and using notes relatively sparingly, building the solid foundation rather than the facade.

admiralchew started following For Sale: Doom 2 (Bronze Age finish) - £360 posted
-
I've been collecting and pedal-testing solidly since COVID but a lot's been happening this year and, as my priorities are changing, it's time to start letting some of these pedals go, including those that six months ago it would have been unthinkable selling. I recently listed a couple of Doom 2s, one in Cosmic finish and a high gain unit in Jade Sparkle. This time I've got a Bronze Age unit on the block from the March 2025 edition of 111 for £360. The unit is the standard gain model and is basically new in box. The price includes Royal Mail Special Delivery UK postage. I'm not really looking for trades at this point but there are a handful of pedals I'm curious about: COG T-70 v2; Hamstead Subspace GE, and Chase Bliss Spectre.

Why? All that Hooky said about Ian Curtis was that he died - in fact, IIRC, he said that they lost him. Ditto Nate Mendel about Taylor Hawkins. -

HI All, Right, here's the deal. I'm selling my Neural DSP Nano Cortex. Not because it's rubbish – quite the opposite. It's brilliant. Possibly too brilliant for someone like me who still uses the same three settings on every bit of gear they own. This little box has more processing power than the computer that landed on the moon, and I've been using it to make my Jazz bass sound like... my Jazz bass, but slightly more expensive. It can capture the exact tone of any amp you point it at, store hundreds of profiles, and make you sound like you actually know what "mid-range scoop" means. Condition: Excellent (No velcro) Includes: Original box, DSP Power Supply, documentation I never read (I can't even remember if there is any...). Why am I selling it? The Upgrade Itch: There's a rather nice Markbass EVO/Multiamp for sale on this very boutique, which I would like to purchase, so I need to raise the cash! (Trades only considered for a Markbass EVO1 or Multiamp). The Spousal Audit: My partner has started asking pointed questions about "exactly how many ways do you need to make the same noise?" and I don't have a good answer. Price Note: £325 is less than I paid, and considerably less than my dignity is worth after admitting I don't really need it. UK shipping available - happy to discuss options. EU shipping is unfortunately not possible due to the post-Brexit customs paperwork nightmare. Apologies to my continental low-end brethren. Grab this while you can! Help me fund my next mistake! PM with any questions. Regards, Neil.

Looks like the battery clip is missing in your pic. Red and black wires should connect to missing battery clip, I think, via the wee green connector block.

£50 price reduction Trades - X Touch Universal. Try me with anything, I can only say no 😁 Great bass in good condition, comes with hard case. Short scale. Not a heavy bass. Plays well. Not really any damage to speak of. There’s a little bit at the top of the headstock (photographed) but looks much worse than it actually is. I’ve removed the strap lock pins and replaced them with the originals that were odd when I got it. The case is old but fully function and all the clasps work. Chrome hardware and a vintage sunburst finish. Mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard and a basswood body. A retro instrument with a modern twist." Maple Top Mahogany Body Mahogany Neck Lignum Rosa Fingerboard Entwistle MBH Bridge Pickup Entwistle MBN Neck Pickup Jumbo Frets 42mm Nut Width 30" Scale Length Can post at buyers expense or can be collected from BB22SH Any questions please ask.

I had the stereo and sold it. Regretted it and bought the mono. It really is the Swiss Army knife of amp world. I’ve got a Markbass Evo 1 to try out at the moment which basically, has the Multiamp amps and effects but has two independent channels, which is exactly what I need. I think it’s what I’ve been looking for, for a long time 😁

Spot on. I certainly don't have as much rhythmic vocabulary as I should anyway. I can demo, clap, or say what the rhythm goes like but for the most part I wouldn't know what to call it. Food for thought, cheers.

It's small, it's light, it's loud and you can do a proper gig with it! I've had this for a few years and it's never had any trouble keeping up with any drummer and even done a good job in a medium-sized pub. I've taken these specs from the Thomann site: New York 121 1 x 12" loudspeaker Piezo tweeter 400 Watt @ 8 Ohm Frequency range: 45 - 18,000 Hz Weight: 13.3 kg (less than 29lb)for people who think in pints and stones Dimensions (WxHxD): 383 x 432 x 358 mm and you can find reviews here https://www.thomann.co.uk/markbass_new_york_121.htm and here https://www.andertons.co.uk/markbass-new-york-ny121-1x12-bass-cab/ Condition is pretty darn good. Sounds spot-on, the fuzzy covering is in lovely nick (I'm not going to pretend its from a pet-free home but it's avoided any attention from the cat due to being kept under it's lovely sunggly cover for it's life with me when not use). The tweeter works too. I am very, very happy to demo it at mine in New Cross, London SE14, or I'll bring it to you when I'm in work near Euston but it's heavy enough to be annoying carrying it so when I've taken it to gigs I've wheeled it behind me on a trolley (I've done a few with my rig and bass coming with me on the London underground or a bus). I am perfectly happy to post it as I've got plenty of packing materials and it's a sturdy little thing. I'm not really looking for trades as I've got more basses than I have space for, I dont need an amp or cabs - again, no space really - and I'm covered when it comes to pedals. I would take a high quality power block as a trade in though, one that has proper discrete supplies and can power at least one 500ma item. Maybe a slightlly bigger pedal board thing - the one I've got is diddy. Any questions please reach out and I'll be happy to help.

Why are venue house bass amps always such utter sh#te?

Well I've risked it on over a hundred gigs since I bought it a couple of years back, and have not been tempted to upgrade just yet, particularly as my first, nicer, tablet got trashed on its first outing by a drunken punter, at a fancy function gig, knocking over my mic stand! But you'll get better quality from an iPad, for sure. Plus also you are purely reliant on the iPad whereas the CQ12 & 18T have excellent screens which makes using the tablet optional. I've not needed to use it wired as I make sure my tablet is fully charged before leaving the house. The key tip for connectivity has been to switch the CQ from 2.4 GHz to 5GHz - made a massive difference.

I have a East MMSR preamp I'm keen to get fitted into my Musicman USA sub but just haven't found the time to do this yet. Having read the instructions on the East website I'm not 100% on what I connect where. From my understanding the pickup goes into the solderless connections on the bass/treble board (first empty set of connections to the left of the pot on the right in my picture). The wire coming off the jack presumably needs to join the current earth. But where does the battery need to be connected? Is there any risk of frying this if I get it wrong? Any help much appreciated!

How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?
JazzyJ replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
I nearly had to cancel last nights gig due to the drummer messaging me to inform me that he had no drums * 🙄. Anyway, a few phone calls later, I'd got a pro drum tutor on board. This guy is probably one of the best that I have had the pleasure to play with. Cracking gig, three piece blues / rock trio, local pub. * Drum kit in loft, loft hatch won't open. Joiner didn't turn up due to illness, err ok. -
Thanks chaps - good to know even a cheapo Android tablet has been reliable. Slightly hesitant to risk it on a gig! But a standard iPad seems within the realms of affordability, and assuming that Apple batteries and OS tend to be pretty stable. Couple of questions if you don't mind: Is it easy or even possible to swap devices to, say, a second tablet or indeed a phone as backup if the main controller goes wrong? Also, is a wired connection possible while charging the tablet? Or would I have to use wireless in that scenario? I will definitely take a look at Mixing Station as well, thanks for the tip.
