MXR M85 bass distortion. Great distortion pedal in good condition. Velcro on the bottom. £75 delivered. Any questions just ask 👍 -
Nice job on the refinish ! GLWTS -
I used to use it a lot as it was the only way I could hear myself by playing - funnily enough I saw a video of peter hook saying the same thing yesterday. this is me playing for way too long solely on the G and D string

I'm gutted for you that you are having to sell this. I love mine, it sits on my desk and is used for 90% of my playing at home. Good luck with the employment situation, I know that's a tough one. -
I like my blue UE11s… it’s a case of do you want to go discreet —> clear or choose a colour you like. I’m blue for my in-ears and clear for my general ear plugs (as they might get used in civilian life as well as playing).

I love these, they are so well made and super adaptable. I wouldn’t trade mine for another type. -

What new gear should be produced?
Woodinblack replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
I'd get one of those. Although to be fair, my main bass is a Maruszczyk which has a P and J pickup and an ibby soundgear profile neck -
I was going to say some of the Yammy RBX range had a similar thing going on, albeit a separate plastic plate to give that effect.

board I’ve made for a gig this weekend. octave and moog sounds from the MXR, 2 levels of dirtyness from the 66, EQ from the AMT and mild chorus plus tuning from the GP5.

That is some high quality rock tone going on there my friend.

My coffee time teaser for today (mainly because I'm not 'allowed' to do Wordle) So the first thing to understand is that balanced line signals have an earth that is at 0V and two other signals +ve and -ve. The two signals go up and down at the same time but when + is going up - is going down. When the signal gets to the amp a transformer or a bit of electronics turns this back to an unbalanced signal. In a jack the tip should be +ve and the sleeve is the earth the ring should be -ve and inside the jack socket there are three sprung contacts that touch the plug when it is connected. Many jack sockets also have switches built in operated whenever a plug is inserted, so this can complicate the wiring. If you use the mono jack (the bottom one) then the - and the earth connectors in the socket are both touching the sleeve and are short circuited. What happens next depends upon the grounding arrangements. Since it is working for you then there are no issues. It doesn't work on my Flow 8 for example unless I only insert the plug halfway. -
Schecter Ultra Spitfire Cure 40th Anniversary Bass

Sorry, UK only. -
That does indeed look like an early 1980s Precision Bass Special. The routing channel to the battery box on the back checks out, even if (strangely!) it is not being used and the battery for the EMG's is in the control cavity! Most definitely a refinish in that case, those never came in Antigua.

Yes. indeed - that's what mine are (as I have balanced TRS outs on the X18) For normal mono outs, I have TRS to XLR adapters, and I do have a dual XLR mono to XLR stereo cable (or a few of them) that I could use, they usually are with the chapman stick that has a stereo out. - edit - I note that this is now actually OTT, as I could go from the stereo ¼" jack to the ¼" jack on the IEMs - its just I have these cables anyway as I was using the MS-2 before hand, and that only had a 3.5mm jack

Because we use computer-driven backing for drums and our second synth parts, our set order is decided at the rehearsal before a gig and I put the songs in the correct order on the computer so I can cue up and control the start of each one using a footswitch. Although I'm always given a printed set list for each gig I tend not to look at it because cuing up the next song also selects the correct starting patch on my Helix Floor which uses the song name as Its title and therefore the Helix display acts as much easier to see set list for me. At one fairly high-profile gig our singer who usually produces the printed set lists printed out a different set order to the one I had programmed. Luckily I noticed that he was not introducing the song I had cued up ready, and was able to manually select the correct one on the computer before I started a different song to the one the rest of the band were expecting.

Keith McMillen KMI 12 Step and MIDI Expander This is the original KMI 12 Step Controller. It can be used as a set of bass pedals, to trigger chords, samples or even drum sounds. I’ve used it with a variety of synth modules for adding strings and organ for live gigs. I’m now playing more keyboards live so I’ve gone back to my Hammond bass pedals. There is software online to hook it up to a computer or iPad but I’ve always used it with hardware and it has done the job really well. I’ve colour coded the ins and outs with tape but can remove if required I’ve also taped the note names on the unit as I found it easier to see live. I used masking tape so it’s easy to remove without much residue to clean. KMI has now been rebranded as Muse Kinetics since Keith McMillen sadly died last year. Support is still available for all the KMI branded versions of their products. It’s really small and neat compared to a traditional bass pedal controller and weighs next to nothing. The unit itself is slim and made from woven carbon fibre. I have the original (tatty) packaging for both the pedals and the expander. I’ve included a link so you can see what it does. The Mark 2 version retails at around £435 street. The included MIDI expander was bought separately for £65 as I wanted to integrate it with my outboard hardware rather than use it with my computer. Postage at buyer’s cost UK only. No trades.-

Speaking of basses tuned BEAD , some of you may have noticed Warwick Taranis Bass tuned this way from the factory . I saw the YouTube review by Jonny Dribble ,who thought it was overproduced for what it was . Trouble with the Chinese Warwick’s is that they never seem to be in stock for some reason. Speaking of 5 strings , I’m torn between getting one to complete the collection …or just forget about it due to my BEAD Warwick 🤔

I do like that idea. If I had such a friend prepared to do the machining I would be staining the side panels in a contrast colour before assembly, to make a real feature of the finger joints.
-
I do the set list and print them out for each member so that way we are all doing the same set. Until one night I decided not to wear glasses as I was trying to be cool, mis read the list and started one song whilst the rest of the band started the correct one. Glasses back on
-
Thanks for the feedback folks. Said friend has built a few guitar combos this way. He does reproductions of a Selmer combo he liked when younger, including building the valve amp. They are heavy for their size but I think that is down to the valve amp. The finger joints do look very cool (he just varnishes the combos). I think he has just used pine but at least 15mm, possibly 20. I’m a bit wary about pine TBH. All the stuff I’ve seen in the usual outlets is very green and I’m sure would be subject to shrinkage, cracking and possibly warping on drying out. I guess I could source furniture quality from somewhere to avoid this.

To be fair, the transparent ones do have a silvery aspect to them, when not being worn, you should be fine. I had no colour choice with my Elacins and, whilst not NHS beige, they do lean in that direction.
