I recently picked up a pair of ATC SCM7 for around £500 for Hi-Fi use - they'd make great little monitors with a suitable amp, but they're very small and don't go very deep (though what bass there is is wonderful) We have huge ATC SCM100a at the studio, which you've heard, so I'm very spoilt! But at home I have Neumann KH150, which are also absolutely superb. I have the smaller Neumann KH80 as surround speakers, and when one of the KH150 went down last year, I had to work on the KH80 for a while - for their size they are absolutely remarkable, and apart from bass extension and max volume, it's not as much a step down from the KH150 as you might think. Moving back and forth between the Neumanns at home and the ATC at the studio don't reveal any big surprises, and you certainly don't hear a £15,000 price difference! Neumann monitors are really very good, with an unhyped polite character that's not far removed from ATC. A new pair of KH80 are over budget, but I don't think you'll find anything else that's truly worthy of being called a 'monitor' for cheaper - they really are that good. And of course, if you want more bass down the line, save up and get a KH750 subwoofer ☺️! On their own, the bass is impressive for the size, but they ARE very small! I'm smitten with the small SCM7 too - I don't need more low end in my lounge, they're perfect. Let me know if you'd like to borrow the KH80 to try out - I don't use them much for work.

Are those diagonal stripes actually parallel?

You need a flame torch or TIG for proper silver solder.

Ibanez EHB 1005 MS £750 Excellent condition, just some very small marks that won't show up on photos, a shop could probably get away with selling it as ex display or an 'open box' return. With Ibanez gig bag. 3.4kg. Bought new less than a year ago. Collection from Chichester, or I'm in Central London on Mondays. I have the Ibanez box it could potentially be posted in (will add a photo of that once I've retreived it from the loft). These are great basses with just two annoying things: Fret markers are difficult to see and the locking jack socket needed two hands for you to remove the cable (one to press the button in and one to pull the cable out) which I found a faff. I've addressed both of those: Glowtec Lumo fret stickers (removable) and I took the small spring out of the socket so it doesn't push in to lock (I still have the small spring so it could be put back in). As a 5 string I think these are hard to beat: Clear 35" B string, even tone and confortable to play the multiscale, about as lightweight as any 5 string you can get - but still well balanced with no neck dive, compact for carrying and using at pub gigs with small stages, decent 3 band EQ with sweepable mids. I keep buying these Basses when I feel I 'need' an active 5 string, then after about a year I feel I 'need' a passive 4 string! And I'm always a one Bass at a time sort of person - I don't like swopping between different ones especially if different scale lengths or amount of strings, and I always need to sell a Bass to fund the next one so I carry on with the annual cycle of selling 5 string to get a 4 and vice versa. I have seen one specific 4 string Bass I want, I might remove this advert if that sells first. ....and this time next year when I 'need' an active 5 string again I'll probaly buy one of these again! -
Very nice bass. You don't see many for sale, and a great story. BTW, you'd be advised to follow the forum recommendation about proof of ownership at the top of the thread. -
It turned a few heads, especially the head of R&D who is a design sepcialist
-
Yep - I tried adding more and that didn't work. My old iron is an Antex; it can't do silver solder though.

I’m the person who bought this, I wasn’t allowed to talk about this until today. It was mistakenly for sale on eBay and I snapped it up. I've had almost two weeks with it and here’s my thoughts. Two outputs but no option to split signals, no di out valeton has two. No fx loop again the valeton has one. only 3 fx slots that can be any effect but reverb and delay aren’t able to be swapped for another usable fx, why? Plus points for the pitch shifter, much better than my digitech drop. The drive sounds are good using the sansamp one at the moment. Amps and cabs are great. Great as a practice tool definitely with built in Bluetooth and headphone out. It’s nice to see boss catering to bass players, just don’t understand why some of the most useful tools for a bass player have been omitted. Honestly it sounds good, I’ve used it at practice and the band liked it but preferred my normal setup. Am I going to keep it? Probably not. It’s just missing things that I find useful. What’s keeping it with me right now is the pitch shifter and the fact it’s much more compact than my board. Now that the tone studio and app are out I’ll be playing with that before I make my final decision on it.

There's one on ebay Fender Mex. Truss Rod Nut Guitar/Bass (2pcs) - 003-8454-049 | eBay UK

Would likely take an interesting swap for this. I was hoping to use the money towards a short scale ACG, but also in the market for a Jazz, preferably a Flea signature in pink if there's any going round. Send me a PM, always up for a chat! -
What are your irrational prejudices? I have some bonkers ones...

People who have to have the application they're using on full screen on a shared terminal... and don't close it. They're not using the full functionality of the windows... thing. Actually, I think that's a daily annoyance -
MM mutes never used £25 including UK postage. -
Pickguards in general tbh. Let's take this lovely piece of wood and stick a random bit of horrible plastic on... Especially Stingray/round Musicman ones (see my profile pic...) why would I want an expensive instrument to resemble a toilet seat... -
Badass 3 bridge never been used. £90 including UK postage -
How upright? There are vans which get close to tall enough. E.g. Fiat Ducato/Citroen Relay in H3 format is 2.17 m max load height. Loading the basses with a slight lean this may be tall enough.

Late to the party, but I’ve found Canva has become even more useful lately, especially with the newer animation and quick-resize tools. Has anyone here tried using it for gig setlists or simple lyric videos? I’ve been testing a few templates, and it’s surprisingly quick to put something together that looks tidy. Curious how others are using it for band or promo stuff these days. - Today

Hi folks I'm potentially needing a bass collected, packed and couriered to Scotland if anyone can recommend a local courier in Lichfield. Or if you are making such a journey then I'll happily reimburse you for your troubles. Appreciated. Ian.

While nowhere near as bad as they used to be i find Reverbs Fee's to still be a little off putting, I've also started to get a lot of Fraudulent "sold" Spam, I reported this via there system but the messages are still coming in from various accounts.. here's the last one (minus the "hot ink") Hey, Your item has been sold on Reverb. This message includes a link where you can look over your account details. There’s no rush and it doesn’t take long — most people just skim through the info and move on. This step usually comes up around this point as the sale wraps up,http://*****.org/lkajdo just to keep everything aligned in the final stage. Once you’ve had a look, you can leave it there. The rest of the process continues without any follow-ups or extra steps. If something catches your eye while you’re checking, you can always reach out — but generally it’s a quick pass and that’s it. Delivery Team Seems Reverb have a problem they can't fix.....
