  1. Nice bass. Sting or string?
  2. Then mic type XLRs should be fine in this instance. Powered amps going to passive speakers would need suitable cables for carrying such 'powered' signal - usually Speakons etc too.
  3. Is this for passive or active speakers??
  4. He said that he jumped ship 😂 Welcome Ashore...... 😁
  5. Hi Steve. Yes, still here. Do feel free to send me a quick message if you would like them. Cheers, Greg
  6. Shame this wasn't closer. I had a four string Excess before and always fancied a 5 of the same. But I would need to check the B string first. Are you ever down Hampshire way?
  7. Looks like an original rather than a Flamboyant to me... not that it matters, as I own both an original and a flamboyant and they are both great basses. Enjoy!
  8. It's about in the middle of average weight for a Jazz bass. For me, it's a nice balance of tone / weight, of course this is subjective for others. Please do pop by any try out if you are interested. Thank you.
  9. Hi, 4.1kg on my bathroom scales. Cheers, Greg
  10. Withdrawn from sale. Decided to keep as a backup.
  11. Another ACS hearing protection user here and long-term sufferer of mild Tinnitus. I use the 17s, as close to flat-response with Db reduction as you'll get (IMO): https://www.acscustom.com/uk/products/hearing-protection/pro-series/pro-17 I also (ordered using the same moulds) use the ACS Sleepsound https://www.acscustom.com/uk/products/sleep-sound These were purchased to protect from a loud snorer at home; equally as annoying as Tinnitus.
  12. GR AT Carbon 110 (4Ohms) - Ordered early last month from Bass Direct, arrived today! Although I use Mesa Subway 210's and Mesa heads, with lots of smaller jazz (Double Bass) and small ensemble work around the corner I felt the need for a very portable and light 1x10. Having read Jay's thread (@JayCarterMusic) and also hearing directly about his further experience of these new GR carbon cabs (thanks Jay) I sold some under-used pedals and some other equipment to fund this purchase. Although I won't use this too much for electric bass, I wanted to be able to fly with it as I have a couple of wedding gigs in Europe next year and the year after too, hence ordering a 4ohm version to ensure I can use as a standalone cab (I will continue to use my Mesa rigs for electric / larger gigs, festivals etc). From the few hours I have had with the cab today, it sounds tight but warm with double bass and it certainly can handle a low B string (rear port seems to help project well). I am really happy and my first impressions are great, but I will post more once I've gigged this a few times. I've included a few pics for ref. 1) Cab 2) Cab with my back-up Quilter head 3) Cab with my Mesa head (perfect width BTW) 4) Cab with my angled wedges normal used with my Mesa cabs
  13. Hello and welcome... enjoy the new hobby too!
  14. Hi and Welcome!
  15. Welcome on board!
  16. I had it velcro'd onto a pedal board, but I guess you could also attach it onto an upright. I would suggest that you use something like 3M dual lock or similar though.
  17. Hi Beedster.... Here is the info via the handbook: Power Options 1. 9-Volt Battery Squeeze the tabs on top of the preamp together and the battery drawer will pop out. Snap in a fresh 9-Volt alkaline. To conserve the battery, unplug the input of the Platinum Bass when you are not using the preamp. 2. 48-Volt Phantom Power Use an XLR cable to connect the Platinum Bass to a mixing board with 48V phantom power. When you turn on the 48V phantom at the mixer, the green 48V phantom LED lights up, the 9V battery shuts off and the Platinum Bass draws power through the XLR cable. The green 48V phantom LED may not light up once you switch on phantom power. This means the phantom power from the mixer is not delivering enough voltage. For insurance, keep a fresh 9V battery in the preamp. The battery will take up the slack if the phantom power is too low. 3. AC Adapter Input Use only a well filtered and regulated AC adapter with a 9-Volt DC output. We recommend the Fishman 910-R. Here is a link to a PDF of the handbook too: Fishman.pdf (chirro.com)
  18. Paul drove down and purchased a HB Tele guitar from me. Very friendly and easy transaction, thanks again and enjoy! Very happy to recommend. Cheers Greg
  19. Now fitted with Thomastik flatwounds.
  20. EBS Stanley Clarke all the way! Start here:
  21. Just want to put in a great word for the seller, Eric. He's a friend of mine and an all-round top guy and top player to boot. Whoever gets this will be over the moon, I am sure. Cheers!
