I stopped using a Class 3B laser several years ago for this reason. In smaller venues it's very difficult to operate these in accordance with the safety guidelines and any public liability insurance you may have is unlikely to cover you if you can't provide evidence that you have operated it in accordance with the safety guidelines.

Yes indeed, I have one but would like a second, for a monster small but heavy rig. I contacted Ashdown who said they’re very popular and they may consider revising the model. Maybe I’m just being greedy, but I live in hope.

Fascinating, Jim... 2-string bass by Eastwood
pineweasel replied to HeadlessBassist's topic in Bass Guitars
It’s a copy of Mark Sandman’s bass, which was a 4 string with only 2 strings on it, so it’s quite accurate in that regard. -
Really clean ones do carry a bit of a premium, so I would say for a private sale £4250 - £4750. Dealers will want quite a bit more. "These are just my thoughts and should not be relied upon when making serious financial investments" 🤣 Rob

I am selling 2 x BBII. Price is £600 each. Both are in excellent/immaculate condition with no dings or marks. Both have padded covers. These cabs are insanely good and very very loud. Can be used single or in parallel for more output. Pics to follow asap. -
The return of "basses near the settee"

I have a 2011 SR5 and the three sounds are quite distinctive. When the switch is back toward the bridge, the pickup coils are wired in parallel. The sound is slightly scooped or hollow. This is the classic Stingray tone as produced by the 4 strings. Toward the neck gives you the coils in series, a powerful punchy tone that I find the most useful one. And on post 2008 models, the middle position is series wiring plus a filter, which to my ears rolls off the top end and slightly accentuates the bottom. It’s a sort of vintage series sound. There’s no single coil mode after 2008.

Now £50 including UK postage for all 6 strings. -
It's likely I will buy one directly when I purchase new cables from FTT towards the end of the year

"A Music Man Stingray 5's 3-way pickup selector switch offers three distinct tonal settings for the humbucking pickup: series, parallel, and a hum-canceling single-coil mode. Series mode provides the classic, punchy Stingray sound, while parallel offers a thinner, more scooped tone, and single-coil provides a hum-canceling, brighter alternative." So you should have three distinctively different sounds there. I'd take it to your local music shop/tech and get them to have a look at it. It sounds like a simple enough fix, maybe a new blade switch is in order.

Thank you. I've been very tempted by the Markbass Little Mark IV, as I fancied a change to be honest. After a random search though, I've managed to source a 2nd hand Ashdown RM EVO 500 ii, from one of the big online music retailers. It's due to be delivered on Tuesday, fingers crossed. The Peavey MiniMax is a good amp, but I think a change is in order. I had an Ashdown ABM600 chrome faced head once. It sounded really good, unfortunately it had a fault whereby it would hiss as the note decayed. The RM isn't an ABM but I think it'll fit in with what I'm playing now. What has struck me whilst searching, is how the level of choice and availability has dropped. Again, thank you.

I suspect we're about to be hit by a tidal wave of AI generated music. The idea you can potentially get an AI to write a hit song for you in minutes despite having zero musical ability has all the makings of a classic 'get rich quick' scheme. Of course most of the resulting music won't get any commercial traction at all, but that won't stop large numbers of people churning the stuff out in the hope of getting that one track that hits the jackpot.

I have a 2015 Stingray 5 which I've had a couple of years. I like it a lot and I think it's the only bass I've played at gigs this year. However, I do wonder if there is an issue with it. All three selections on the pickup selector switch sound identical. Perhaps it's my unrefined ear, but no matter what I do, I can't hear any difference whatsoever between the three positions which makes me wonder if it is working properly. I will upload a sound sample later, but in the meantime was wondering if anyone could tell me whether it should sound noticeably different on the three switch positions. It does appear to switch something when going between the positions, but sounds the same to me when landing on the positions. If I wedge the switch between two of the positions, it clearly becomes single coil as it has a thinner sound and I can hear the single coil hum. I'd be interested to hear the thoughts of anyone who has a Stingray 5 as to whether you think my bass my be faulty or if Musicman deliberately designed the selector switch to be utterly pointless!

Anything from 4-5k I’d say depending on condition and if it has the original case

People who know how to properly write promts with context etc can make music in minutes... Rick is no ai expert, but does a reasonable job in this tongue-in-cheek vid.

Something not right with this one to me, I can’t exactly put my finger on it, maybe it’s the white guard and newer knob’s that’s throwing it, neck pocket doesn’t look right and the truss rod nut is proud which would suggest it’s been packed out maybe with washers, not sure about this one

I can lend you a butter knife and you could go at it like Jaco, if you like. -
Trying to wean myself off preamps for use at doubling gigs, so I'm listing a couple today. First up is this one: https://gearspace.com/gear/ebs/microbass-ii?via=gear_post_link https://www.gear4music.com/G4M/EBS-MicroBass-II-Bass-Preamp-Pedal/65B6 It's a classic Swiss Army Knife of a pedal which does pretty much everything you're likely to need at a gig. The tone-sculpting allows either seamless switching between DB and electric or two different tones from a single bass, it has no problems handling piezo pickups, it's a great DI box, etc. etc. etc. I've always run this off phantom power from the mixer so I'm including a new, boxed power supply. This has done a lot of gigs with https://www.lemonrock.com/damoandthedynamites so I won't claim perfect nick, but it's a solid 9/10. Everything works exactly as it should. Four little patches of removable velcro on the bottom. -
Trying to wean myself off preamps for use at doubling gigs, so I'm listing a couple today. First up is this one: https://www.bassgearmag.com/radial-tonebone-bassbone-v2-pedal/ Famously built like a tank, it's a classic Swiss Army Knife of a pedal which does pretty much everything you're likely to need at a gig. The tone-sculpting allows either seamless switching between DB and electric or two different tones from a single bass, it has no problems handling piezo pickups, it's a great DI box, etc. etc. etc. Original power supply but - to my annoyance - I can't find the original packaging, even though I'm sure that I have it somewhere. 🙁 Condition is flawless & functional, very nearly pristine. That's why it's "very nearly" pristine ... four little patches of removable velcro on the bottom. Apart from that velcro, it's perfect. Everything works exactly as it should. -
Happy Jack's Great Exotic Sale continues with this absolutely lush microphone preamp. It's this one: https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/warm-audio-tb12-tone-beast Original packaging, power supply & manual. Condition is pristine and flawless. I did a lot of recording during the Lockdowns (remember them?) which is when I bought it, but it's seen no action in the last four years. There's not even any "rack rash". They're still available new: https://www.andertons.co.uk/warm-audio-tonebeast-12-in-black/ Don't know if they still do the jokey slogans on the carton, though.-

Happy Jack's Great Exotic Sale continues with this quite remarkable pedal. How to describe what it does? Best read this: https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/audio-sprockets-tonedexter That review is for the original ToneDexter which is what I am selling. Original packaging, power supply & manual, as you can see. By its very nature, this isn't a pedal that gets chucked into gig bags and knocked about at gigs, so this is in pristine condition. If there's a mark on it, then I can't find it. Smaller than you'd think, too. You can't buy these new any more, but the V2 replacement is this one: https://www.andertons.co.uk/audio-sprockets-tonedexter-2-acoustic-guitar-preamp/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20736322037&gbraid=0AAAAADujoUrZPlhasp7Z7MDPcIjO7Cnyt&gclid=Cj0KCQjwh5vFBhCyARIsAHBx2wzoSIwW07QUzI0kxlO4PRfLLAuySRBXjVY8ZKQoc6XWvrMM3LVfcRcaArDKEALw_wcB I used this a lot when I was gigging a Zeller ply bass and a Kolstein Busetto, both of those with utterly gorgeous tone, alongside my custom-built Ali-Kat aluminium bass ... which looks astonishing but can't even begin to compete on tone. These days, I no longer actually own a traditional DB of any sort () so the ToneDexter is getting very little use. -
I think just you playing the autoharp will do for starters Jack. -
Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2 - selling the complete package
Happy Jack replied to Happy Jack's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
I should probably have mentioned that it comes with the original Owner's Manual.
