Well, I never thought it would happen... I got rid of my Spark amp and replaced it with playing electric guitar through my Fender Bassman amp and using a Headrush MX5 multi I picked up second hand. I started to experiment with the Headrush and it's pretty good for bass too so my Boss ME-90B is put to the side for a while. Well, a nice small multi effects pedal is great, but I wanted to add wireless. I've got a vocal effect pedal too, and I plan to get one of those MXR Synth pedals too... So I needed a board. This is what it looks like today, with space to spare for the synth. I could even mount the wireless transmitter for my IEMS on here but I think that's overkill potentially. I'll practice and gig this board next week and see how it compares to the trusty Boss ME-90B.

Sounds great to be fair. I have a bitsa P that I'm forever changing the pickup in, I really rate the GZR but it's probably not a worthwhile change over what you have already.

Sontronics mic's are excellent for the money and they are a nice company to deal with. I have a Solo and a couple of their pencil condensers. However, many of their mic's are made in the PRC to the company's design/specs and some are modified or part-built here. Nothing bad about that - China is quite capable of making quality products, provided costs aren't cut to the bone - but "made in the UK" is stretching things a bit.

Thomann SafeCase 80 gig bag - anyone tried one?
Woodinblack replied to franzbassist's topic in Accessories and Misc
I have one of these, I had to get something bigger to fit my bongo, its the only one the bongo fits in well as its got a bit of a spikey headstock. In fact all things fit in it apart from the Sei 42", that doesn't fit anything. If you say how big the mayones is I will tell you if it is long enough -
Set of rack mount bars for a GK RB amp. I haven’t owned a GK amp for several years but they would have come off of either a 1001RB II or a 700RB III as I owned both. The bars are complete with all parts including screws. No trades thanks. Price includes shipping to locations within the UK. I took the photos myself and I am blind, so my apologies if they look like they were taken by a drunk person.

EJWW replied to franzbassist's topic in Accessories and Misc
I fancy one of these, does anyone know if it has sufficient internal length to fit my Mayones Jabba? It has a slightly longer scale length than 34 inches and doesn't quite fit in my Contego gig bag. -

Only used for five minutes. Thought I ‘d try these on my Mini P Bass, they sound really good - but I prefer the feel of my nylon coated jobbies under my old fingers. £25 including postage to the U.K. Mainland. Since the 50s and 60s, La Bella’s DEEP TALKIN’ BASS Stainless Steel Flat Wounds have been the choice of professional bass players and continue to be the standard for the best sounding Flat Wounds on the market. Stainless Steel Flat Wound; hand-polished for incredibly smooth finish 31″ Wound Length (distance from the ball-end to where the silk begins is 31″; the silk must start after the nut and only the silk can wrap around the tuner) Medium Tension String Gauges: .049, .069, .089, .109 Top Load Only (do not string through the body of the bass or they will break) Made in the USA with American Wire Packaged using MAP Technology (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) to prevent tarnishing and ensure freshness This particular set is NOT suitable for basses with bridges that require strings to pass through the body of the instrument. Hopefully, here’s a Chap demonstrating them. https://youtu.be/Da54YGS7ygQ

Up for sale is my 2011 Loar LH-309-VS archtop guitar in great condition. The stock P90 pickup has been replaced with a Kent Armstrong Vintage Icon Alnico II one, with the pots replaced with CTS ones, and a Switchcraft jack used. The neck angle on this one is perfect, and the action is currently 2mm at the 12th fret, with scope to go lower if required. A wonderful sounding guitar, both unplugged and through an amp, that plays really well. Collection from Beccles, Suffolk much preferred. I do have a box so posting is an option.

Adding another cab to my rig suggestions please
LawrenceH replied to BassYerbouti's topic in Amps and Cabs
I don't see what's wrong with adding a second Orange cab if the OP likes the sound of the first, and the impedance works for the amp. Who cares if it's isobaric and therefore not the most efficient use of drivers? It's still compact, goes reasonably loud and since the drivers are neo it's not particularly heavy. Just think of it as a 112 that sounds how it sounds. -

Another thumbs up for Tim who bought some strings. Perfect deal as always.

I've enjoyed owing ACGs with both the smaller scalloped carve and the more general profile per the Mk1 above. My preference is the more standard carve for reasons expounded by young @neepheid above.

Purchased from bass bros. Selling for 20% less to account for private sale. you may know these are rare. Collectors item. And I believe this is one of two in the UK. Someone can chime in to confirm. Willing to go for a trade more so on BC - before this ends up on a commission sale. See what’s about. Postage is possible. It’s in essentially showroom condition. Only signs of use are on the scratch plate - a case queen. New Enie ball lights on. 20 mins of play. on the heavier side feels around the same as my 2002 stingray and Jazz bass selling as I have not given it enough love. I’m too scared to dent it. To be honest it’s not even been on my rack as I’m worried to scratch it just sitting in the case. it’s a really versatile sounding bass. On my instagram @homebass.eadg you can see me playing it with tapewounds, and rounds. Lots of different tones available from classic stingray, to Lakeland mode, to Gibson HH mode to P bass mode and then finally EBO mudbucker sound. trades interested in cash available if needed: 70s jazz bass Spector Warwick streamer maybe a interesting modern instrument on some kind just hit me up with anything interesting. Thanks Basschat!

Bassybert replied to leschirons's topic in Bass Guitars
It’s not really created by a luthier when almost everything is CNC/machine made and assembled though is it? I get what you’re saying though, the quality of lower end instruments is ridiculously good and seems to be getting better all the time. Not sure what it’s down to, competition or new manufacturing methods maybe but the cheaper end of the market has never been better. -
Cosmic Metallic pedal sold. 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. Up on the block are a couple of Doom 2s, one being the standard gain unit (in Cosmic Metallic (the purple one)) SOLD and a high gain unit (in Jade Sparkle)). Both units are from the limited runs of 100 in 2023 and are the latest spec. £360 each (including UK Royal Mail Special Delivery postage). Neither has been used on a pedalboard and they're basically mint in box. The Wicked theme was not intentional. 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.
