  1. Past hour
  2. Excellent condition. Sound fantastic. They come with covers which are a bit grubby but do the job. Any questions let me know. Thanks. Steve
  3. We lost a great keyboard and bass player last month and held a memorial gig last night. Barry Cooke. He’s been an institution in our little blues scene. So our favourite old dive was jammed , and just about everybody that wasn’t out gigging was there. Some even flew in from Ottawa. Players from all over the province. We managed to get most everybody up. Stage was packed. Wonderful night.
  4. I'd have one decent bass over several cheap crap ones. That's just my preference, and I respect other people may make different choices and have different priorities in their lives. Each to their own, but I'm often surprised by how many folks seem to acquire lots of entry level basses rather than progress to better quality instruments. It's the opposite of my own sensibilities. For a long time I only had one bass, or two at the most, but they were always pretty good ones and sufficient for my needs. Whatever held me back, it wasn't the bass.
  5. Another great sounding head. Condition good albeit with some scratches on the top as you can see. Any questions let me know. Thanks. Steve.

  7. Discontinued model. 3 x Fender noiseless pickups, 5 position switch. Locking tuners. Bought as B stock so not a perfect example but in very good condition with negligible physical imperfections. Get in touch for more information/photos etc. I can post at cost/meet/deliver.
  8. Made in Finland version. Excellent and versatile bass drive/preamp with three band EQ and toggles to adjust clipping. Can do a light drive or get almost fuzzy. Get in touch for more information/photos etc. I can post at cost/meet/deliver.
  9. Ha, you've been on the run for a month and a half, you scamp! Nice way to bow out, great score!
  10. So with something else incoming, I will listen to ‘sensible’ offers on this 😎
  11. Here is my main gigging rack. Alembic DS-5R bass power supply, Alembic F-1X Pre amp - has 3 outputs LF, HF & Full Range which is what i use. Alembic SF-2 Superfilter in the send/return loop of the F-1x. Synq 1K0 stereo power amp.
  12. You're all good. If I may quote the appropriate exclusion in the "rules": "Educational purchases, ie tutorial books, lessons, anything that furthers your playing is permitted." Crack on!
  13. I’m on the journey towards no backline. As I’ve said on here I’ve gone from a 1500W amp and two 4x10’s down to a 400W 1x15 Neo equipped combo. I now let the PA do the work and the combo is there just as my personal monitor. Its taken me a long time and a lot of experimentation to get a FOH bass sound I’m happy with, and I’m just about there with my IEM feed sound too, so I’m not far away from going no amp. That said, both of my bands have guitarists who are wedded to their small all valve combos so it probably won’t happen anytime soon. As to whether I would I ever sell all my amps, that’s a definite no. As others have said, the minute I did Sod’s Law says I'd get the offer of an interesting gig/dep that required decent backline.
  14. Oops I bought a Stingray..... Full story
  15. Ah I forgot about this, I bought two guitar TAB books off here last month. Do they count as gear?
  16. I love mine as well. Easily the best amp I've played through.
  17. Absolute belter for us last night; it had all the hallmarks of a disaster (charity gig put on by someone who doesn't put gigs on, the bingo over-running, a raffle that lasted an hour... you know the drill). We had an old PA from our rehearsal studio that I had to build and run so sound was a concern. It was a far cry from the festival we played last week, with a superb PA and engineer, proper running order and timescale etc etc, but we resigned ourselves to doing our best and hoping it would go down well. We finally hit the stage over an hour late, and opted to go for the shorter set that we'd devised, which was an hour as opposed to an hour and a half. From the opening notes it was bloody brilliant, and we went down a storm with the audience; given that it was a breast cancer fundraiser, 90% of them were women in their 40's (including the obligatory hen party) and if I'd been asked to bet I'd have said that a load of blokes playing rock, punk and metal covers wouldn't have been their cup of tea, but I'd have been wrong! The sound was really good, too. A great night and lots of money raised for Coppafeel, lots of positive feedback this morning and a nice, pleasant tingly feeling all round. Gear was my Eden WTX500, Cali76, EHX chorus and Ampeg Scrambler with my trusty Player P's and nasty plywood Squier J. I was well pleased with my sound and got several nice compliments about it. Cheers, JRK
  18. I am selling this nice set of EMG- 35P4 and 35J pickups. They are in mint condition and I bought them last summer for £160. I got them for my Spector NS-4, which I only played at home. The pickups are now stored safely in their original boxes in a pet and smoke free house. UK shipping only (sorry!) and shipping costs are included. From the EMG website: https://www.emgpickups.com/bass/extended-series/35p4.html The EMG 35P4 is our P bass pickup in an Extended range housing with the treble magnet closer to the neck (like a Spector or Yamaha bass). The EMG 35P4 covers a wide sonic palette of classic and modern bass sounds. Because the 35P4 utilizes ceramic magnets coupled with short, squat coils, the tone has brilliant high-end articulation, warmth, and incredible low end punch. Countless pros use this bass pickup because of its natural presence, superior dynamics, and low noise. For players who want a "Fender" P alignment - with the treble side closer to the bridge - we offer this pickup in "reverse". Utilizing EMG's solderless wiring, this pickup is easy to install at home. IN THE BOX PACKAGE INCLUDES EMG'S EXCLUSIVE SOLDERLESS INSTALL SYSTEM: 1 25K VOLUME POT 1 25K TONE POT 1 BATTERY BUS 1 STEREO OUTPUT JACK 1 PAIR MOUNTING SCREWS 1 PICKUP CABLE 2 CONNECT CABLES 1 OUTPUT CABLE 1 BATTERY CABLE https://www.emgpickups.com/bass/extended-series/35j.html The EMG 35J is our original J pickup in a Extended series housing for 4 string bass. This pickup has its coil located in the back of the housing - closer to the bridge - which gives it sweeping harmonic overtones and punch. This quiet pickup has classic jazz bass characteristics with a broader tonal frequency range that adds dimensions and clarity. EMG's design has a very low ratio of resistance to inductance, which increases the low end response, while the radiused ceramic bar magnet ensures the tone keeps a tight mid-range punch with a dynamic high end. This pickup uses a housing that is 3.5 inches (89mm) and comes with EMG's solderless wiring and controls. IN THE BOX PACKAGE INCLUDES EMG'S EXCLUSIVE SOLDERLESS INSTALL SYSTEM: 1 25K VOLUME POT 1 25K TONE POT 1 BATTERY BUS 1 STEREO OUTPUT JACK 1 PAIR MOUNTING SCREWS 1 PICKUP CABLE 2 CONNECT CABLES 1 OUTPUT CABLE 1 BATTERY CABLE
  19. I know this is a 'show me your rack' section, and I can read the words, but (not being a studio engineer), I'm not entirely sure what 'have changed over to the Quad Cortex in the studio, although I do run the DI channel through an RND Shelford and an AMEK 9098 comp/lim..' means. It sounds and looks impressive though!
  20. Today
  21. My OD requirements are being taken care of by another pedal these days so this poor guy has been languishing in his box for a while now and it's time to find him a new home. TC Electronic Mojomojo is officially a guitar OD but it plays very nicely with bass and I used it as my main live OD for a few years. Been very well looked after, kept in its box when not in use, no velcro on the bottom. £30 posted and it's yours.
