Yep, selling gear can drag if you don’t pick the right forum or set realistic prices, I feel you. Market seems slow atm and there’s just sooo much gear out there. BTW, I found one site that helps me keep buying smart (so that next-time when I sell it, I’m not losing loads). You can find here discount coupons for gear + other stuff that gives you a little buffer when you eventually move it on.

Yeah. Done that a few times… I think an Ibanez BTB676 was the most 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yup, though it might depend on the platform. In my laptop browser, I just go to the Feedback in Marketplace, and do a search for that someone's log-in name in the Search field in the top right. That has worked perfectly for me lately, without a need for specifying that the search must only be in thread titles. On my phone, in the Feedback, I have to click the magnifying glass (top right too) to get a search page, and on that page can specify to search in thread titles only. Dunno whether the latter bit is necessary, but it hardly hurts.

I did some testing a few months ago with my PA tops (Wharfedale Titan 12s Titan 12s) and Some JBL subs. Although the subs were the same, I tried the system with one sub, two subs both with and without a high pass filter on the Tops. Although conventional wisdom is that the system with the HPF on the tops should sound better, I could not really hear any difference sound wise. This is probably due to there being very little real low end in most tops. Your SRM 450s have a little more low end than my Wharfedales but probably not much. I would guess that adding other subs would cause few problems providing you can get the subs phased correctly. You have a 75Hz second order HPF on the SRM450 so that helps further. In reality, don’t worry about your system reliability, it haste never let you down. There are probably better things to spend your money on than a sub you do not need.

HILS are also introducing a new model, the HZB4, which has a HS pickup configuration and a slightly different design. So far, only 4-string with mild multiscale (34.5" - 33.5").

I think they realised a massive gaping error in their system and fixed it by the fact their servers fell over!

….and why is it always a trade for something you not only don’t want, but you would not look twice at 🤷‍♂️

Dumb question is there a way to find someone’s feedback thread with trawling the forum ?

It could well be user error on my part, but it is not giving me any freebie joy.

It was just a husk when I got it...the bridge and machines are original. No original pickups/circuit, though. I just wanted to get it up and running.

Speaking of those 4 new blocks:

I’ve become an artisan of selling sometimes at a profit, mostly at a loss (after modding for modding sake)…and on occasion selling at a break even. I’ve seen stuff I’ve sold sell for more and less than I’ve let it go for. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything I’ve sold go for 2/3 times what I’ve sold it for - which would nark me. At the moment, selling anything at any price seems a case of pot luck so fair play to anyone who’s managing it. I have 3/4 things up for sale now and I’m just getting trade offers…

I still feel guilty about getting a Thunder 1 at a knockout price from @stewblack. I see them being advertised (not sure about sold) for twice the price or more. But as I'm congeitally incapable if selling a bass...

I did get the book and read through briefly but quickly realised it’s not something I have the time to work through or the concepts something that I need to use. I salute you all and wish you the best with your endeavours.

Steel case. The obvious solution is two strips with big neodymium magnets set in them.

I'm surprised it hasn't sold yet at that price!

Yep, it’s the exercises on p30 I’m working on, playing them over a loop until my ear told me to try something else and find what worked.

In theory, you could wire one up to a dsp and Toneprint and have a control with multiple detents to give you a whole set worth of sounds.
