Trace Elliot - Rescue & Restore (and bargain finds)
SpondonBassed replied to SimonK's topic in Amps and Cabs
I love basements! Can I buy yours when you're moving on please? -
That's one I'd like to see. I will wait 'till April or May to decide. I had made a tentative arrangement to car pool but a recent MoT failure* has cast some doubt as to whether I can afford to fix it by then. * If anyone can supply me with a replacement exhaust system for a Corolla T-Sport Compressor - for cost, I am willing to be their house-boy for a whole month (Any February except during leap years. Ts&Cs apply).

How badly do you want it played....?

I've had the same problem with DMX where the protocols are changed and all you have is an out of date manual. It's the problem with a lot of the Chinese made stuff, they make a batch and send it out and then decide to add extras not allowing for users needs. Mind you buying from the brands you find model ranges change frequently. I now make a quick decison and if I like a light and want a pair or whatever I order the second as soon as possible. I have to confess my DMX controller is largely unused and I tend to only use the internal programmes. I don't want my lights to be as big a job to set up as my PA. DMX for me means I can pair my lights with one as slave, this halves my set up time. The problem is usually with access to the built in chases and so on. If you've 256 onboard presets and each has a different code then trial and error is going to be challenging. Using fewer DMX channel modes keeps it simpler I've found and 3channel mode usually gives you control of RGB. All my lights are RGB to date though to keep this simple but I love the colours with RGBW

Replied to in October. Still available. -
Will be good to see you, Devers. Happy mulling! -
Set of Hammond MIDI pedals I used with various modules including a Moog Minitaur they also work with Hammond organs or midi keyboards. Instant Geddy on a budget. They are in excellent condition and come with manual and PSU. They are hefty at around 8kgs and the case is made of pressed steel. The pedals have a good action. Note they do not self generate sounds they are a controller and you will need to connect them via midi. Only selling as I am upgrading. I can post in UK at buyer’s cost. -
The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
JohnDaBass replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
I have not tampered with the neck but I can confirm that the body is alder. I had to modify the body to add two Thunderbird pickups in place of the stock P/J Pups. These are fantastic value for money instruments who's fit, finish and quality far exceed the £199 I paid for mine. -
Laurence is my go-to guy 🎸

Yes, I tried the limiter a bit last night; ultra quiet and very effective when needed.

Just coming from the Short Scale Bass appreciation thread and noticed some comments coming up regarding roasted necks and stability of roasted, caramelised and standard necks. Rather than hijack that thread I thought a separate thread to discuss might be beneficial. For myself I've got 2 basses with roasted necks (EBMM DarkRay and EBMM Shorty Ray), 1 bass with a graphite neck (Status CW-1) and one with a standard maple neck. Of these the most stable is the Status (no surprise there), which was adjusted when I bought it over 4 years ago and never touched since, the next are the Sandberg and the DarkRay which I've tweaked twice in the last year and the worst is the shorty Ray which seems to move a little bit from month to month. A small sample group but not seeing a major difference which makes me think there are a number of factors at play....

What are your irrational prejudices? I have some bonkers ones...

There's a guy who "busks" in a local underpass who's guitar is well out of tune and doesn't sing. He obviously can't play it, and just strums the open strings. He uses his gig bag to collect money in, and has now kicked the bag into the centre of the underpass. He's been doing this for the past four years and has stayed exactly the same Years ago, me and the singer of the then current band used to go busking on a Saturday with acoustics Sometimes it was freezing and hard but Hifi Video recorders needed to be paid for 😁 -

Caramelisation is also a thermal treatment, and should not just a layer of caramel-coloured lacquer. That would be rather deceiving. I see the words roasted, baked, caramelized and torrefied used depending on the manufacturer, and usually they all indicate the wood has been heated / thermally treated. - Today

Markbass EVO1 Dual channel head + carry case
Marc S replied to Marc S's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
-
I have some - still have them in the bag as a backup, they do colour the sound a little but worse was the compression on them - if you use a compressor anyway you might not mind it (or you might like it for reasons that people use compressors) but it wasn't what I wanted.

For sale (no trades). Now discontinued. Markbass dual channel 500W bass head, inc Carry case / bag. I'm a fan of Markbass gear, and this head is really superb! The 2 input channels are separately EQ'ed and controlled - which is useful. Also, each channel has 6 individual preloaded amp tones. It's also possible to mix the sound of both channels, for real flexibility. It's in mint condition, as it has lived in the padded carry case since I bought it. It hasn't been over-used or abused and is a really reliable head which is great for all genres. I even used it for upright, and doubling up with bass guitar. I'm only selling now, as I got a brilliant Stanley Clarke Acoustic pedal, which also has 2 channels, so this is no longer being used. It's just too good to keep in a cupboard. The carry case / bag is also in good condition, and is really well padded - protecting the head well. It's simple to use, as the head stays in the bag while gigging (the fan is at the rear). It has a large pocket on the front / top - which you can fit several leads into. It also has the option of a carry-handle or shoulder straps. The case itself cost around £60. My one criticism of the head, is that it would be even better if the panel was illuminated... but my small clip-on light did the job. As ever, I prefer collection with expensive items - and I like to know the buyer is happy with the sound. Based in Barry, South Wales, and you're welcome to have a tea or coffee whilst giving the amp a whirl. I can post, at a push - if the buyer arranges a courier. (I'd prefer to insure).

In my experience, all DMX controllers need both the manual for the controller and the DMX protocol for the individual luminaires. I once bought some moni PARs where the factory had changed the DMX protocol in the MK2 but left the protocol for the MK1 in the user manual.

Both boxed, both are Velcro free and have been used once by myself so in brilliant condition. £190 posted for the AG £100 posted for the DB £260 posted for both Thanks Dave-

Sure I don't know what you're talking about...

You will need to know the dsp/crossover settings that Barefaced used to get the sound right.

Nice!! Have always been fascinated by three pickup basses
