Little Mark III head - £250 - *WITHDRAWN*
Jakester replied to Jakester's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Not sure - the Combo Head II has been put back in and the casing put back on the LMIII. It's not hard to take either out/off though if you wanted to. -
Edit: going to withdraw this for now as no interest and have sold my other backup amp. For sale: Mark Bass CMD121P, NY121 extension cab and/or LMIII amp head. Only the Little Mark III head is still for sale! £250 + £15 postage. So: I bought a Mark Bass CMD121P combo from someone (who shall remain nameless) off here in 2019, and also a NY121 extension cab off someone else at the same time. Unfortunately the Combo II head developed an intermittent fault with it cutting out, or volume dropping every so often. Interestingly the seller never replied to my messages about it.... It is not a 'regular' fault - it wouldn't happen every time it was used, more like once every 2 - 3 times - but just enough that I ended up carrying a spare amp head with me just in case. Sometimes the volume dropped really low; other times it would cut out entirely. It wasn't predictable which one it would be. I sent it to Real Electronics who said there was nothing wrong with it, but replaced all the pots and charged me £180 for the privilege (thread here): In the end I gave up with sending it back to Real only for them to charge me an arm and a leg again, so I bought a second-hand LMIII head and dropped it into the combo chassis. It's been absolutely fine since then. The Combo Head II ended up on a shelf. However, I've ended up with a pair of Barefaced One10s and a different head, so the MB stuff is now surplus to requirements. So, I am selling the following: CMD121P 1x12" combo - SOLD NY121 1x12" cab - SOLD Little Mark III head I have taken the LMIII out of the combo and reinstalled the Combo Head II. Ideally, I would like the lot to go as one (and I can reinstall the LMIII for anyone that wants it). The combo has a Hotcovers padded cover. The NY121 has a Roqsolid dust cover. I've unplugged the tweeter in the combo (a common mod) but I can reconnect it if you wanted. I'm thinking the following pricing: If you wanted the CMD121P with the LMIII head reinstalled (and the Combo Head II thrown in) - £450 If you wanted the lot: CMD121P + LMIII + NY121 cab - £700 If you wanted each bit separately: CMD121P w/Combo Head II (i.e. the original head with an intermittent fault) - £SOLD (so basically a 1x12" cab with a free head thrown in) NY121 cab - £SOLD LMIII head - £250 + £15 postage I'll include a Speakon to jack with a female to female adaptor so any head can be used with the CMD121P as a 'normal' cab (it has a male jack wired into the speaker for use with the Combo Head II). I very much want to sell it all together so happy to consider reasonable offers for the lot. if someone takes the combo and cab but doesn't want the amp, happy to sell that separately but not until the other stuff has gone. Edit: I've some interest for each item separately, so it sounds like that may be the best way to go, so happy to consider offers for each part separately. Collection only in Bath or surrounds - happy to meet reasonably locally (Bristol, M4ish etc). Not really looking for trades ATM other than a Helix Stomp as PX against this stuff. With finger (not included) Why couldn't he have stuck the sticker on the rear panel!! Oh, another finger. CABLE NOT AVAILABLE

Yep, I'll take my box-a-crap(TM) with me!
-
Thanks, hadn't thought of that at all - it's a QSC TM16, so six mono auxes - so that would probably work, and I can take an IEM straight from one of the two stereo aux feeds. Perfect, and means I don't need to buy any more kit!

Morning all, I'm doing a few dep gigs with a band on drums over the next few weeks, and at rehearsal we were briefly discussing stage setup, when they asked what monitoring I liked to use. I said I tend to use my IEMs, at which their faces dropped. Apparently they use an 'old-school' analogue desk which only has two aux outs; one which is configured for the singer (so has mainly vocals), and one is used by one of the other guitarists for his own IEMs. They asked whether 'stage sound' (i.e. the backline output from the bass and guitar amps) would be okay; I said without actually being on stage with them and playing, I didn't know. I was wondering whether there was a quick and dirty way of overcoming this; I have my own digital mixer, and I wondered whether a mic splitter might the solution? If I can split the feeds from the mics (I'm assuming two vox, two guitars and a bass DI) and run them into my mixer, along with the drums; I can give them a drum feed out from one or two of the auxes from my mixer (if they want stereo) but still mix the incoming mics to my IEMs. Would this work in theory? If so, would y-cable splitters do, or do I need a 'proper' splitter box?

Thanks, that’s all really useful.

Right, apologies in advance, I am VERY crap when it comes to electrical engineering. I have been asked whether a portable battery with an “1800w output” will be sufficient to power a PA and bass and guitar amps for a gig. The spec suggests it has a 1024Wh capacity and 1800w output with a ‘surge’ capability of up to 2700w. The PA comprises 2 Yamaha DXR12s and a DXR10 monitor. We might also use a Stagepas200 as a monitor too. My amp is a CMD121P and guitar amp is 50w valve amp. The Yamaha specs suggest a power draw of 110w per speaker. I can’t find equivalents for the bass or guitar amps. There’s a digital mixer too. My instinctive reaction is it isn’t going to be enough for 2h of performance at sensible (I.e not loud) levels but I don’t know how to work it out - can anyone assist?
-
Used to use these in a band years ago. Great little monitors. I'd have them if I wasn't the other side of the country! -
Ah, I would love to do this for you but I'm not free, sorry! Do drop me a line in future though if you need someone.
-
Excellent. The old desktop kept crashing on my M1 Mac, so hopefully eventually it'll be a bit more stable!

Why not just use matching veneer to fill the slots?

The Roland SPD WAV pad is a sort of one shot trigger pad. It can be triggered using your foot (their other products include percussion pads in the same form factor and they demo them being used as stomp things for acoustic guitar players). You could load up to 12 samples in and switch between then and just trigger with your foot if needed.

SOLF Barefaced Two 10s PRICE DROP NOW £450
Jakester replied to Stealth's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Nope, it's "SOLF"! 🤣 -
You may end up having to pay import duty if you bring them into the UK from Denmark.
-
I think you're just being deliberately obtuse for the sake of it now.
-
Bass is my second instrument - this 'area' is actually my first. Why should I 'stick to my area'? I enjoy playing both.
-
Website suggests it does once a week; it certainly used to, but then changed hands and stopped. No idea what sort of thing it is though. Just to add the final little touch to this sorry saga, out of the blue the chap organising told me he's 'managed to find a bass player for the gig' so my friend isn't needed any more. Needless to say I've had to make profuse apologies (which thankfully were graciously accepted). That's the last time I try and help anyone with deps!
-
Well, if you read the first post, no-one is/was getting paid, then the organiser suggested giving some of the "money behind the bar" to the two who travelled from the West Mids. I've done hundreds of gigs where sometimes we get paid, sometimes we don't. The pay isn't of itself the issue here. I'm comfortable with no-one being paid, I don't mind if he takes the bar money and gives it to the two Brummies, but what I slightly object to is then refusing to give a small amount to the dep that's doing a favour.
-
I'm not sure what this has to do with the specific situation set out in the first post? It's not an originals band or a "vanity project".
-
I think this puts it fairly succinctly.
-
As I said - that's a different discussion. Happy not to get paid in this particular instance. My issue is with what money there may being paid to two people only for expenses, and then when someone is doing us a favour and will have some small but genuine expenses, he's told "nope".
-
Yes.
-
Oh, yes, that's a whole other debate. I'm happy enough not to get paid for this particular gig - it's down the road, lots of friends drop by, it's not too late etc etc. I know the pub's making a killing out of it but given how often you hear of pubs going to the wall, it's hard to begrudge this particular one the extra money.

I was just wondering if I could sound out the collective on this situation: I have been doing some jazz gigs with a band; it started off with three main members who all used to work together, and I was invited to play bass with them as I know one of them. There are also other people who come and go from time to time. It's nothing special, just playing standards in a local pub. Two of the main three live in the Midlands, the rest of us down here in wurzel country. However, it seems to have hit a spot because each time the pub is rammed, and so last time the landlord told us he'd put £100 behind the bar for the band. Of course, with most of us driving that was never going to be used up. For the next gig, the chap organising has suggested that we instead ask the landlord for that money, and pay it as expenses to the two who are travelling. Now, I don't really mind that - it's a low pressure gig, nice crowd, I'm learning as I go to play jazz so I'm not so fussed about it. However, one of the two who are travelling can't make it, so I've agreed to play his part and have asked someone I know to fill in on bass for me. He, not unreasonably, asked if there was any money/expenses for it, and I said I'd ask. I was told by the chap organising that he'd spoken to "the others" and they'd decided "it wasn't fair to pay one person, and the money should be used for travel expenses [of the other two]", so no, there wasn't any money for him. I presume that means that the one travelling gets the lot. Now, this seems a little unreasonable to me; my friend is doing us a favour - although he's local, he's from the next town along, so will have to travel so will have *some* expenses. My friend accepted this as he wants to do the gig. I mean, I'm not going to blow it up or have a rant at anyone about it - but does this seem a little, well, unusual, to anyone else?
