  1. Boss CEB-3 in good working order. Been on my board for a few years and has been a really reliable and useable pedal that gives a lovely warm effect. 

     

    Comes in original box.

     

    £45 posted or £40 collected from South Northamptonshire

  2. For sale for spares or repair is an old Mesa Boogie Powerhouse 2x10.

     

    Only one driver is working. All wiring has been checked but the driver is seized solid. Other driver is working fine.

     

    Heavier than Saturn but pretty much built like a tank. The cost of a new driver means I'll not be replacing the broken one. If you have the same cab with a broken driver this is about £200 less than the cost of a new driver.

     

    Collection only from NN12 8XR

  3. Excellent condition Boss SY-1

     

    Great little synth pedal with a gazillion sounds and the best tracking I've found with any of the many synth pedals I've had. Really useable in the real world with the ability to mix effect level with clean tone. 

     

    Collection from NN12 South Northamptonshire or can post for £5

  4. Just bought a gorgeous Jazz bass from Isaac. He made everything super easy and was really acommodating in boxing it up for my courier to collect. Bass was exactly as described and i'm a very happy camper. Top BC'er and I would buy from him again with absolute confidence.

    I am not really qualified to be spouting about this on a public forum. This has never stopped me. 

     

    I am sure that the Faital is a fine, fine driver. If it is expecting to see an enclosure which is a different size from the EA then you are likely to be dissapointed. 

     

    Thiele small blah blah resonanace blah blah loading blah blah. 

    This 100%. 

     

    Drivers need to be in cabs that are designed to suit them. Maybe better to measure the internal dimensions of the cab and ask the clever folk who designed the Basschat DIY can for some advice on a suitable replacement driver.

  6. My wife's sister and three of her mates are currently working on the Glastonbury site doing the clean up. She's done it for years and loves it. Every year there is this bull***t narrative in the same old right wing dross media outlets about how this generation of festival goers are all totally entitled and how the festival is an environmental disaster. 

     

    Over 99% of tents actually get taken  home and the site has its own full recycling facility that allows all waste to be hand sorted and everything that can be recycled is recycled. Also no products in single use plastics are sold on site.

    Essentially, although there is a huge amount of litter left, the organise expect this and plan for it properly. Don't forget, there are numerous media publications that want division and love to try and get people angry about something because it sells clicks and papers.

  7. Sounds to me like the guy needs to learn to mix. With synths, pianos and bass there will be tons of lows and he just needs to understand how to make them sit together in a mix using the tools at his disposal. 

    I wouldn't be too precious about him cutting frequencies though. Most mix engineers will do that as part of the mixing process. It's the ones that can do the least possible to make it all hang together that are the best at their craft. It's not easy though when individual band members are doing their own recordings. The best mixes start with the best sound captures.

  8. Absolutely bloody lovely Limelight Precision.

     

    This is not a Fender bass!!!

     

    I had this made back in 2016 to be a replica of a 1976 Fender Precision. With an ash body, maple neck, overwound pickups (hand wound by Mark at Limelight), period correct headstock logo and the lightest relic finish. The bass has done probably 200 function gigs and that has really given the nitro finish a much more naturally worn look that the more heavily relic'd basses struggle to emulate. Weighing in at 3.9kg (8lb 9oz) this is a really comfortable bass to gig with and it's like putting on a nice old pair of slippers when you pick it up. The output is really strong and has the classic p-bass sound.  

     

    Currently strung with a relatively new set of Elixirs but I could change these for an old set of fender flats (with tatty silk) if preferred. 

     

    Why am I selling? I really really want to be a p-bass guy but i just always end up gravitating back towards Jazz basses. 

     

    Trade Options!!! Jazz basses only please. I'd definitely be really interested in a Limelight Jazz. I absolutely love the build quality and they just work for me. I'd also happily consider a Japanese Jazz or a USA Jazz with apropriate cash adjustment. Ideally though I'd want either of these with rosewood or maple board and blocks.

     

    Price for a straight sale is firm at £850. I think this is fair and I'm in absolutely no rush to sell as this is still great to have around.

     

    You are absolutely welcome to come and play this without any obligation to buy. I have some nice amps and make good tea / coffee and there's always biscuits in the tin. I will package it up for postage but that would be for a courier that the buyer has arranged and the buyer takes this option at his or her own risk. I gig lots so am regularly travelling around the country and am more than happy to meet up en route to a gig.

     

    Thanks for looking!

    Tends to be guitars, bass on DI and bass drum mic but no overheads. I was only thinking of the H6 for some general ambience that won't be there otherwise and over the kit seemed like an option to keep it out of the way and give a bit more kit to me. I need to talk to sound guy about the availability of channels to take the H6 through the stage box, possibly just for my IEM mix

    If you only have guitars, bass, kick and vocal mics you should find there's plenty of spare channels. A cheap condenser mic might be even better. I've gigged on iems for years and have never had an ambient mic. The vocal mics pick up lots of ambient noise and even when we used electric drums with no mics I never felt I was missing anything.

    My moulded plugs have now arrived and I'm in discussion with the sound guy for my main band about getting an aux line that I can control from my phone for my mix. A technical rehearsal would be good but I can't see that happening anytime soon. I was going to get 3 driver plugs from Mercury but they gave me a discount on 4 drivers as I had used them before for sound protection plugs

     

    I also experimented with using my Zoom H6 for an ambient line at rehearsal, and plugged my mic into it on an XLR splitter cable. I could also take another line to it from the DI on the Revolt Bass pedal and mix as required.

     

    As a quick check, the H6 line out into a Behringer P2 on my belt worked well at rehearsal as I could hear all that was going on and chat in between, so that shows a lot of promise.

     

    For live I'd need to think where to put the H6, possibly over the kit? Plugging mic and bass to that won't really be an option as I'd have no way of adjusting the mix on the fly, but possibly feeding the X16 aux into the H6 and setting a general mix between aux and ambient from the H6 mics at soundcheck will work. I'll also need to trust others for setting stage level of the bass, and soundguy to mix it in for FOH, but hopefully won't be digging in as hard as because I can't hear the bass on stage as I should have a line to the IEM's

     

    One guitarist is completely old school and will never go to IEM's and said "where are you going to put that live" after I put the H6 on a mic stand in the middle of the rehearsal room ... as if I was expecting to just plonk it on a mic stand front & centre for gigs :facepalm:

     

     

    What gets mic'd up in your band's stage setup? If there's overheads on the kit already surely you'd just mix that into your mix coming from your aux and use the P2 connected direc to the mixer? If there's no overheads on stage can you use your H6 as a stereo overhead plugged into a channel on your x16 and just mix that into your aux mix? Seems to be overcomplicated trying to work in an H6 between your aux out on the desk and your P2. 

  11. Our agents have us doing 3 video shoot days a year. On each day we shoot 3 videos and then they spend weeks tinkering with them to make each new one pretty much identical to the last. I understand the need but find the whole process mind numbingly tedious.

    I believe that amp was mine for at least ten years.  Bought second hand from the Bass Centre, and without doubt the loudest amp I've ever owned and very reliable.  The only work I ever needed having done to it was to replace the fan, so should outlast most of us! 

     

    For those with a back issue the flight case does have grab handles on the side :)

     

    GLWTS and love its replacement.

    Really good to hear some of its history. It really is astonishingly loud and is a wonderful sounding thing. 

     

    I always wanted one because, as a lad, I used to watch a band called the hamsters in various pubs and the bass player from that band had one and his sound was absolutely massive. 

  13. I have had cramp in my fingers towards the end of a gig when playing a lot of finger style stuff. Like cramp in sport, there are things you can do to reduce chances of it happening. Being properly hydrated and avoiding salt / caffeine etc prior to gigs can really help. Your symptoms sound much more like cramp than focal dystonia to me. I am completely untrained to make this comment though and would definitely advise seeking proper medical advice if it becomes a frequent thing.

  14. Absolutely wonderful amp. The best Trace Elliot I've ever owned. Sounds absolutely huge in a way that no class d head can. Really good condition with absolutely no issues.

    £1 per watt but these aren't any old watts, they're old school Trace Elliot Watts.

     

    Comes in the flight case.

     

    Collection from South Northamptonshire but I gig all over the country so may be able to meet up.
