  1. Past hour
  2. I kind of agree with you but I would take even a step forward and say an arena type concerts you can hear the bass drum loud and clear but the bass guitar gets buried for some reason. A few years back I saw the who right after John Entwistle died and Pino Palladino took his place. It was such a waste as I could not hear anything he was playing over the drums.

  4. 1 rack unit is gone so the only one left is the lower one in the photos. For sale is my used but not abused EMS 500 19" rack case. The rack is currently assembled as 6U but can be reconfigured as 3U, 6U simply by removing some bolts and panels - 10 min job! You can also configure it so the top removes for mixers. The rack is currently assembled to a board with castors which isn't included in the sale and will be removed before shipping.........unless you really, really want it and then it would be an extra £20 and whatever the increased postage is. These are quite special cases as they are modular construction where you can increase or decrease the number of rack spaces by easily adding or removing side and end panels. All you need is an allen key! You can also use them with a mixer installed in the top and the top panel can be easily removed! See the photo of how I had the units set up for my band PA. (None of the rack equipment is included.) All catches etc are in good condition. Rack to rack depth is 48cm. Weight per 6U assembly is 18lbs / 8.2kg. See the attached brochure for more details. The 6U Gator version of this case weighs 13lbs so slightly lighter but is NOT as rigid, road resilient or has the flexiblity options. As these are modular I would propose they are dismantled and flat packed for shipping to reduce the cost. I'll give details on how to re-assemble if you need but its quite straight forward. I've estimated UK postage to be £15 per unit. 6U Rack Unit 2 - the lower 6U rack unit in the photos on its own - £90 / Board with castors - £20 / Both together £100. Shipping Extra EMS.pdf
  5. I have just gone through a lot of my studio / PA gear and removed the excess insert and patch cables etc. and have gathered together quite a collection of connectors. Some of the items are brand new never been used but all are in great condition and fully functional. I could be persueded to a bulk buy reduction. Postage would be based on how many and destination. The table below gives as much info on model / style as I know.
  6. For sale is my Smooth Hound wireless system in great condition complete with power supply / adaptors and instructions. This was a backup to my other Smooth Hound unit so hasn't had much use. Postage for the UK would be £5. Website is here.

  7. For sale is my TC Electronic GMajor-2 multi effects unit in fully working condition and updated to the latest firmware. Pictures show it in its usual rack home (rack not included). Although most of the standard effects are aimed at the guitarist I have found the compressor, gate, flanger, phaser and octaver (up and down) etc. to be very useable for bass. I can either factory reset before shipping or leave the presets I have created intalled. It has built in EQ, noise gate, compressor, reverbs, delays, wahs, octaver, tremolo, phaser, flanger etc each of which can be switched in / out from the front panel as required. I have been using this via my amps effects loop and found the compressor (and all the effects) just add their effect without changing the fundamental sound of the bass. Comes with original box and operating manual. You can use the unit in your DAW as well as with your bass / guitar etc. Patches can be easily selected from the front panel or attach a midi-pedal (I used a MidiMoose). There is also some Vyzor software you can download from the net which allows you to interface your PC with the GMajor-2 to edit and backup your user patches. I have also attached the GMajor-2 and Vyzor manuals below. tc_electronic_g-major_2_manual_english.pdfVyzor_G-Major2_Quick-Start.pdf I estimate UK shipping about £10 to £15.
  8. This might be a bit tangential but I have noticed from attending gigs over the last few years that P basses really tend to disappear in modern mixes (I'm talking decent sized gigs with a professional PA/soundman, not how bad your own P bass sounds down the Dog and Duck before anyone takes offence). I don't think this is a fault of the P bass but of the way everything is mixed these days (all subs/bass drum, very little midrange). The whole reason the P sits in a recorded mix so well is due to its low midrange presence, and when these frequencies are not given enough prominence the sound turns to mud. Of course, while we should aim our ire at the soundmen or spectators who actually think that kind of mix sounds good, an easier solution would be to use a bass with a bridge pickup. Even with a rubbish mix you're more likely to hear some of the bass come through.
  9. I'm letting this go finally, as my "little rig" is now a BF One10 and a GK Legacy, therefore it is now surplus to requirements. It's a fantastic little setup and has held its own in situations where it shouldn't have for something so small. These amps sound really great too, I mean very good indeed. The cabs are very capable and at 400w (8ohms) will take a standard Class D head without breaking a sweat. The amp is in excellent+ condition (no marks at all), in the original packaging and box, including the padded bag and mains lead. The cab is very good+ condition, no issues, sounds great and comes with a fitted cover. Shipping is in addition, and would be £10 for the head and £20 for the cab (Parcelforce 24 insured). But happy for anyone to collect or meet up within a reasonable distance and time from Morecambe. Head & cab - £420 Head alone - £180 Cab alone £260 Rob
  10. Anyone been playing around with this to try out new pedals in advance of purchase?
  11. And yet ... and yet ... The inherent Devil's Advocate built into me is asking, "Do you really need monitoring?". Life is SO much simpler without, and for pubs'n'clubs I've never really seen the point.
  12. On a paring back phase again. Have got a few really nice pedals for sale (C4, Spectrum, Atlas, FI4) as I’m only using fairly limited envelope filter stuff now with a Microtron III and Bass Envelope Filter covering what I use most. Synths are covered using keys now (and my other FI4 when pedals are required). Just using the Origin Compact Bass for compression. Still struggling to narrow down the preamps though; managed to part with one of them but still have five and like them all. 🤦🏻

  14. Had a passive 5-string about 25 years ago, possibly one of the few in Ireland. Sold it to buy a Stingray 5. Regretted it. (not the Stingray, selling the Shark) I've never seen another in the flesh.
  15. Lovely! (and the Spector!) 🤣 GLWTS
  16. According to the chrome bridge, it should be the wide string spacing at 18 mm. Am I right?
  17. I'm a big Sweet fan but its all those high end backing vocals that Andy Scott did that make it difficult to replicate. All of Sweet were "properly trained" singers plus all that touring in their early days certainly makes you a lot better at what you do. Incredible band. Our drummer new the band and lived down the street from Steve Priest altho he was a bit younger and as a kid he said that Steve was "the guy that played in a band". He even had some drum lessons from Mick that to this day he is still in awe of Mick's abilities plus he was singing backing vocals at same time. He has some great Sweet stories from those days 😂 Dave
