Essentially this is a unused Harley Benton TE-40 TBK Deluxe Series; It's been played a few times by a youngster who never really engaged with a practice regime. Nevertheless, I am sure that some fresh string wouldn't go amiss.

Spec can be found below, although please note this about 5 years only and thus has the original Wilkinson Pickups.

1960s/70s CLARINET for sale

Please excuse my ignorance here. I have inherited a Clarinet, and don't really like selling via Ebay etc, so I hope a listing here might lead to a sale to someone who will make use of this lovely instrument. I have inherited this, and as a bassist, I know very little about it. Any wider info would be appreciated. I am not even sure of its value; I have found a wide range of similar instruments from £250 to £500 online. I am happy to sell at £180, if it is going to be put to good use by a member of the BassChat family. If not, I will wait until an upcoming specific musical instrument auction in the summer.

I have popped the instrument together. The connecting cork is a little tight, so probably needs re-hydrating/lubricating. No evidence of other damage that I can see.

I am based in SO53 / Winchester / Southampton

This has been on loan to a student to help during his final year studies. It will now be back with me in a couple of weeks time (happy to arrange for anyone to come and test from 1st July onwards).

Chris purchased an EBS Octave pedal from me. Nice easy sale and great communication too - thanks again! Enjoy

Best,

It may sound somewhat harsh, but I rarely re-hire musicians (permanent or dep) who don't turn up suitably prepared. When I 'hire' professional musicians, I expect a professional approach; excellent musicality, good personal hygiene and suitable appearance, spare equipment, good time keeping, clear communication skills etc. For me, professional musicians should have the 'tools and a spare' to cover for most reasonable eventualities. 

Purchased some lovely CD's from Mike, who was a pleasure to deal with. Package arrived swiftly and well-wrapped indeed!

Cheers!

I've just put a CIOKS DC7 under my pedalboard; it's good in that every output has the same 4 power options (9/12/15/18V).

Plus it has a USB out.

It's an expensive, but fab power supply, isn't it. Mine seems to run quite 'cool' too, which is useful, and it's very light. It just fits under the DUO 2.1, although I had to cut the plug off to feed the cable through. I'm going to drill and mount a USB panel mount on the side so I can wire this into the Ciocks when I get time; that should make it a bit easier to acess that handy USB.

@MuddBass - how you liking the Stanley Preamp? 

The EBS SC is great. I've not gigged it yet (for obvious reason), but I have used it for recording both arco and pizz upright bass on a couple of recent sessions. It's very handy having the phanton power option alongwith the HPF etc. It produces a nice transparent sound when run 'flat'. For me, the big bonus is that it replaces several other pedals into one portable unit. Previously, to achieve a similar result as the EBS SC, I'd run: a bright onion A/B/Mute pedal + a Rafferty HPF + Fishman preamp + electric bass pre-amp. For me, it will make doubling gigs less hassle in equipment terms, and as a bonus the pedal is very useful for recording etc too. I'll provide more info / feedback once I've used it 'in anger' at a gig.

I've posted this on the effects section, but this might be useful here too....

This is my recently reformed 'doubling gig' pedal board. This enables me to process and quickly switch between double bass and electric bass mid-gig, but is also used for a variety of other situations. Signal chain is: EBS SC Pre-amp (tuner out into Korg Tuner)  > Seymour Duncan Compressor > DOD Chorus (selected via Bright Onions switch for true bypass). As you can see, the only ‘special effect’ is the selectable Chorus. However, the board has two hidden extra power cables to facilitate the temporary adding of extra effects to suit the requirements of different gigs. All powered by the wonderful Ciocks DC-7 power supply (hidden underneath). Most bits are secured with dual lock. Board is a RockBoard DUO 2.1.

Nice!!!!  Say, how does the EBS handle electric bass?

Thanks, GlassMoon. It handles electric bass really well indeed. No 'drive' or tuner as per EBS MB3, but those are features I can live without for this pedal board and for many of the doubling gigs I do. For me, it has replaced 3 or 4 pedals (a Rafferty HPF, Fishman pre, AB selector pedal and electric bass pre such as Sans Amp). It is a 'tasty' (and light) piece of equipment.

My first Bass was a Hohner Professional JJ. This had a front mounted LED that glowed when the bass was powered up. I noticed that the light faded a little towards the end of a battery and served as a useful reminder to change. More importantly, it reminded me to unplug the bass to stop wasting the battery!
