Accugroove Tri 112L ***PRICE DROP - NOW £400***
GreeneKing replied to mrbdfunk's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Probably to have as a 4ohm pair. When I’ve used mine together they are much more than the sum of their parts 🙂 -
Option 2 for me. Whilst I agree it might appear unprofessional, it would be even more unprofessional to go onstage for 2+ hours with a terrible live sound.

Well, I bit the bullet and bought the Reverend Fatfish 32. Lovely neck - the 32 is a very comfortable size actually, it sounds great - playing mainly on the front humbucker just now which gives a big warm fat tone but still with plenty cut in the mix, it’s a relatively big body but still feel pretty comfortable. All in all very happy with this purchase. And I can now do a small, medium and large photo, like this: 😃

Luke bought a Vista Musicmaster off me. Great comms throughout the deal and a nice easy transaction. Met him in person when dropping off the bass and had a good chat about bass, music and steel guitar. Very nice chap.

My covers band has started every gig for the last 15 years with the same song. All three of us sing, so we take a verse each. Three minutes into the gig, our sound engineer @Silvia Bluejay has heard all three vocal mics, guitar, bass and drums (usually with everything going through the PA as well as backline) and our sound is sorted for the rest of the set. The audience (pub / club / festival / whatever) has no clue that they just heard our soundcheck.

Asomovel. Thats the one. Thanks Lozz. A proper old fashioned heavy metal band and the bass player uses a rather lovely Washburn B20. I have a feeling (responding to Reds point above) from watching their social media all of the boxes are real and loaded. I remember a couple of gigs I did about thirty five years ago with Saxon (in a very lowly PA tech type capacity). They were doing small rooms and we were touring a PA. Biffs only rule was that everything had to go in. A 45' trailer of Martin F2 plus twenty eight Marshall 4x12's. All of them loaded with four speakers. That was hard work.

People pay up to bring a quick end to the bass solo

Can't get this out of my head now. Thanks everyone.

Hi, I don’t suppose you are in the market for any effects as a partial trade are you? Thanks, Nick -
Asomvel - just did a search, I’d never heard of them til this post but gonna get their latest CD, must be a great eve both them and Airbourne.

My first electric skinny stringer was a pre loved 80s Hohner Strat that I got from the bargain bin at Musical Exchanges in Brum in '88 or '89. Really decent guitar, I've definitely paid more for worse instruments in the years that followed.
-
That’s a great idea, don’t think I’ve ever done this but def one for the memory bank.

After much experimentation over the last few months, I have now settled on my preferred strings for each of my basses, so these unused sets are all up for sale. All prices are posted per set, but happy to combine and discount for multiple purchases. GHS Pressurewound (39.25" winding and custom made to fit Dingwall basses and imported from the US) - £40 3 x Newtone Platinum nickel roundwounds on round cores - (2 x 37" and 1 x 38" ball end to taper) - £35 2 x GHS Brite Flat groundwounds (38" ball end to taper) - £38 1 x Elites Groundwounds (38" apart from the B, which is 37.25" I think) - £30 Thanks for looking. -
Almost all my gigs are fly aways in various EU countries. I always check my bass into the hold in a SKB iSeries case. If you travel with your instrument as baggage then no ATA carnet is required. If your instrument travels unaccompanied, as freight, then an ATA carnet is required.

Smoothhound wireless system, 2.4GHz band. Works perfectly, comes boxed with PSU inside and instructions. A bit more sophisticated than the plug-n-play stuff, but just as easy to use. I'll post at cost (less than a fiver I'd expect) or pickup from Uxbridge area -
Probably inviting injuries to aging Northern Soul fans but does anybody have "Footsie" on their setlist??
-
I think you are talking about the rectifier tube that could be replaced by a diodes bridge put in a plug-in device. There is one of the brand you mentioned @Dood .

Here's the deal on Sovtek and Chinese tubes: In the West military devices, like radar and communications, converted to SS early on, being much lighter than those powered by tubes. The USSR didn't have the SS tech that the West did, so they stayed with tubes much longer. Tubes also had the advantage of being immune to electromagnetic pulse, which fries SS devices. That was a concern during the Cold War. Without the demand for tubes for the military and civilian devices other than musical instrument amps, and because making tubes is environmentally a problem, Western tube sources disappeared. Since Soviet gear still used them, and they didn't care about environmental issues, tube suppliers in the Soviet bloc remained. Musical instrument amps remain as the #1 users of tubes, most of which still come from Russia, China and Slovakia. Those that are still made in the West are much more expensive, as their manufacturers have to adhere to environmental regulations that pretty much don't exist in Russia et al.

My local deliverer is great. But Evri received a banjo skin for me on 22 April and it was 'in transit' on 24 and status hasn't changed since. I hadn't realised it was so delayed. Presumably they lost it, I have contacted the seller.

Moving on this great, really lightweight, 15 inch speaker cab with horn. Loud and pairs nicely with a small amp - for example my Trace Elliott Elf which is also up for sale. You get the full power of the amp with it being 4ohm. All working correctly. Thanks, Alex -

My preference is for soundcheck mainly to get monitor levels sorted, I hate seeing bands go, after every song “I need more attack in the upper mids in the outer quadrants of the snare drum” stuff, to me either sort it at a soundcheck or live with it. Which leads me to, my current band don’t like soundchecks, so it’s usually go on, live with it and know that the sound engineer will do their best.

Bought brand new back in December 2023, features all the bells and whistles you’d expect from the GK stable - 4 band EQ, contour switch (for scooped mids) and boost switch. I’ve used it a fair bit this year, but the only issue with it is something was dropped on it at some point, denting one of the rear corners. Doesn’t affect the sound or the structure of the casing, so otherwise it is in great condition. It has recessed side handles and casters attached which are easily removed, and comes with a custom made padded cover made by HotCovers. These retail for around £1100 new (without the cover), looking to shift it pretty rapidly as I have gigs pending, so the asking price is £700. I am open to sensible offers…. Selling because it’s too big for my needs. Located on the Isle of Wight, but can meet at any of our ferry ports (Portsmouth/Southampton/Lymington/Southsea) for collection. I can also personally deliver for an additional £50 to cover my ferry fare, within a sensible distance, London or an equivalent location distance wise would probably be my limit. Thanks for looking. 😊 -
I wonder if that is where the quote about ensuring that you make every note count comes from? ha ha!
