Tremol-no alternatives for Strat
velvetkevorkian replied to velvetkevorkian's topic in Other Instruments
Interesting, I'd never heard of a hardtail Strat before -- e.g. this Robert Cray signature model. I'm not looking for a new guitar though, this is purely because I have a Strat copy with sentimental value -- if I was buying I'd be after a hardtail and probably not a straight-up Strat. -
Tremol-no alternatives for Strat
velvetkevorkian replied to velvetkevorkian's topic in Other Instruments
Ah, I see you're familiar with my woodworking ability. 😬 Thanks, I will look into blocking it again. -
Looking to get something to lock my Strat's bridge in place -- the Tremol-no is expensive and sits proud of the back of the guitar, and I don't really need to be changing it on the fly. Has anyone used any alternatives? I could get it blocked but that feels a bit crude?

SOLD Bit of a weird one this, but handy if you need to get a 5 string past a very conservative band. It's a bitsa jazz bass with a Wilkinson 5 string conversion bridge/string tree. That puts 5 strings onto a 4 string Precision neck, with an extra tuner at the bridge and an anchor in the string tree. I assume none of the parts are genuine Fender items, despite the decal. Tuners are also Wilkinsons. Pickups are EMGs -- hard to see in pictures but you can just about make out the logos. Rail types so no issues with misaligned pole-pieces. Body is a bit beaten up, and the replacement bridge doesn't quite cover the original screw holes. Pickguard seems to have been drilled in some random places for pickup covers, but purely cosmetic. Frets are a bit worn so I can't get the action quite as low as I'd like but it plays nicely. Spacing is tight but pretty similar to a 6 or 7 string bass. I'm really not a fan of the Precision neck profile though so it's not getting played at the moment. String B-G with light gauge Elixirs, and sounds like a jazz bass should. Can look into postage if required -- probably about £25

Carrier for a small animal -- guinea pig, kitten, small rabbit, etc. Only used a few times. Our rabbits have outgrown it. Free to a good home if you can collect from Glasgow G51.

This has served me well in multiple machines but doesn't fit in my new PC. Stereo audio and one MIDI in/out. Simple to get very low latency. This is fully supported with drivers on Windows 7; there are no official drivers for Windows 8 or 10, although apparently it works without them (caveat emptor etc.) £20 posted / £15 collected or meetup in Glasgow. Open to offers.

Why do I have three mic stands but only one microphone? Offering up the spares. One Stagg, one Symphony, otherwise very similar. You put a mic on them, they stay in one place, they fold up. Used a couple of times and they've been in the attic since then. £10 each or both for £15. Collection from Glasgow G51 only, I imagine shipping would be prohibitively expensive.

I believe this is a B3150 which I think I got off here in around 2009 and forgot about because I got a Realist, then mostly stopped playing. It's been sat in a drawer for most of that time. The pickup alone is about $80 on Amazon. This comes with a set of adapters to make it into a 1/4" jack socket. As far as I know this is working, however I don't have a bass to test it on any more. The website says there should be rubber feet as well which I don't recall ever having. As such I'm open to discussing taking it on approval. If you're local (Glasgow) you're welcome to borrow it or bring a bass round here to try it. £25 posted / £20 collected. Open to offers though given the caveats above.

Sold Adrian a pickup -- quick payment, no trouble, all good. Cheers!
-
Bought a looper from him, it arrived quickly, well packed and exactly as described. What more could one ask?
-
Realistically, more than one mono input will be wasted on me anyway. 😬
-
Good eye, thanks. The name rings a bell although I have no recollection of buying it.
-
Interesting! I assumed it wouldn't work without the MAudio drivers. Unfortunately my new motherboard only has PCI-E slots so I don't think I can physically fit it anyway.
-
Are there any affordable PCI-E interfaces these days? Just upgraded to a new Windows PC and my venerable M-Audio Delta Audiophile 2496 PCI card isn't supported (and I don't have a regular PCI socket on the new motherboard). I'd like to avoid adding any more cabling to the rats' nest under my desk. Stereo IO and ideally MIDI is all I need. Edit: just been reminded of ASIO4ALL in another thread, might give that a bash with the built-in soundcard before dropping more cash on hardware.

SOLD Revolution Solo pickup

Got this off here ages ago. If memory serves it was fitted to my bass then I had to get a new bridge, and I never got round to fitting it to the new bridge so it's been sat in a drawer for the past few years. I don't have a bass to test it with now but as far as I know it works fine, and gives a nice natural sound. A bit less thumpy than the Realist it replaced. More info and fitting instructions on the Upton website. £45 posted, or £40 collection/meet up in Glasgow

Found this in a bag with what's definitely a DB pickup while looking for something else -- I assume this is a piezo that clamps onto the bridge? The cable is phono -> phono to 1/4" adapter -> 1/4" socket to 1/4" socket. Unfortunately I don't have a bass any more to test my theory with. Anyone seen one like it before?
