  1. Past hour
  2. 46mm
  3. Imagine a banjo, an accordion, a bagpipe or the three of them instead... That day could have been Armageddon for you.
  4. Great find. Need to find a shop with great deals on strings. This site has some on Dunlop and sadowsky, looking for ghs and la bella also
  5. Cheers! Yeah, if I were still gigging regularly, I'd be clinging on to this amp. But I'll be keeping my Little B*ast*rd 30 for recording - probably my joint favourite with the CTM-100! - so I can't really justify keeping both of them.
  6. MARSHALL BB-2 Not to be confused with the original Bluesbreaker pedal, which was essentially a preamp-in-a-box - this is a dedicated, dual-mode overdrive pedal. "Boost" mode is a transparent-sounding clean boost, designed to push the front end of your amp harder, while "Blues" mode gives a much more shaped (and saturated!) tone, reminiscent of the original Bluesbreaker amps being dimed. I bought this pedal back in something like 2010. It was my main distortion effect for a while, and did a handful of gigs with me, but as I've experimented with new effects and different amps, I find myself using it less and less. I still have the original box and user's manual, which are a little worn in places (see pictures); the pedal itself is in excellent condition. Only one thing: the controls originally had black position indicators painted on them, which have mostly rubbed off over the years. Up to you whether you leave them as is, or paint some new ones on! Price includes postage to mainland UK. If you'd like it sent to a different country, drop me a PM. Open to sensible offers!
  7. For sale, my Octave Mandola OR Octave Mandolin (they are the same thing). Shorter scale than an Irish Bouzouki, this one is tuned GDAE in unison pairs (or courses). Condition is excellent, not quite mint and includes a nice TGI gig bag that is a perfect fit. Mandola is in Hope Valley (S33 6SB) for local collection or I could deliver locally too. Could attempt uk posting but it isn't as solid as a bass so I'd be a bit wary of that.
  8. Daddy Cool - Boney M
  9. Thanks Geek, I do get down to Derbyshire a few times a month, so good to know.
  10. Wish I had the cash right now, but as I don’t I hope it’s still available when I do.
  11. Thanks Phil - the 2 x 12s at 21 kg apiece are actually an easier carry between them than a single 905. I actually did a bit of spec comparison across 8 different 15" active sub-woofers and interestingly the three that came top for me on £price, weight, SPL and reputation for quality were: Subwoofers - 15in active summary.pdf The overall winner on my personal criteria was Electro-Voice EKX-15SP. A mate of mine uses a pair of Electro-Voice EKX-12SP, and I'm wondering whether I can sub (excuse the pun!) those two 12" with a single 15". The RCF 905 AS-3 should definitely go on the list, too, and maybe will be a case of seeing which of those comes up in good condition used first!
  12. Thanks for doing that. G to B looks like 76mm from the shots. And the nut width also please? I'm expecting that to be about 46mm?
  13. Wow. That is amazing. I should get my backside in gear and list my Japanese P bass. Coz if I had the cash, I’d be buying this.
  14. Looks like it went back up to normal price after it sold out. It was showing as £70, so the code took it down to £63.
  15. Yeah could do but the filters do help shape the drive so it’s handy but yeah a spark might do the trick nicely. Worth a punt.
  16. 🎵 ‘It was 20 years ago today Happy Jack picked up a bass to play…’🎵 As Macca never sang, but should’ve. Congratulations on your anniversary, my friend!🎸
  17. As I understand it "a) " doesn't guarantee they're not fake. They're not from D'addario, they're from Amazon i.e. It's from an Amazon warehouse, hence it states "Shipper/seller:Amazon". Also, if another seller has sent a batch of fake strings to Amazon, then they will be mingled with the real ones from D'addario. You are not guaranteed to get the ones that D'addario sent to the warehouse. Personally, I've not had any problems and the players code checks out, but it is probably safest to buy from a reputable musical instrument retailer as their stock will be the genuine article.
  18. Thoroughly enjoyed reading about your bass journey Jack.
  19. hi looks like bridge is 105 mm E string to G is 75mm I don't have a flat metal ruler for more accuracy cheers
  20. I can't answer that it all depends upon where you are going to use them and how they are used. There's no reason why they shouldn't sound the same at low sound levels. However making loud bass is af everything else is equal question of shifting lots of air and a big piston will outperform a little one if everything else is equal. Thats about cone area so you can work it out . Roughly thats 250cm^2 for an 8, 530 for a 12 and 850 for a 15. That's comparing like with like. The rcf 702 gives 129db, the 705 gives 131db and the 905 133db in their spec sheets. You'd have to decide for yourself whether the extra 2db or 4db would be needed. Remembering also that 2x 12" 702's are £1470 and 1x 905 is £1150. The 12's weigh in at 42kg and the 905 at 31kg so tht is a factor too. I doubt that in practice a single 12" sub would outperform the 12" speakers in your ART 932's, so I think only a pair of 12's make sense
  21. Today
  22. wow how did you get it for £63? I just went on site via link and with the discount code it came to £151. I’m always late to the party 🙈.
  23. I'm looking for a bag to hold my Schertler Unico, and that looks like it might be the right size, will measure up and see. Thanks
  24. I have a Sire P7 5-string, 2nd Gen for sale. It's all-original and in very good condition, with no marks or dings on the body or head. The only marks/wear are two small dark smudges on the neck, the J pickup has a little rusting on the metal, and the stacked pot for the mid frequency control was accidentally split a couple of years ago due to a slightly overenthusiastic tightening after cleaning - I've pictured these as best I can. Fresh set of strings and batteries (2x9v) last week so it's absolutely "ready to go". Collection from Liverpool is strongly preferred, though I'd be willing to hand deliver around the North West or work out some kind of meet-halfway deal if you're a little further afield. Hope the price is considered reflective of the couple of minor blemishes on an otherwise very nice bass. EDIT: No trades, looking for sale only
