  1. Genzler Nu Classic 210T Padded Cover £55 Posted. One of these would cost you cost £95 + shipping if you wanted one for your cab, this is totally brand new and unused.
  2. Zoom B3n Intuitive Multi-Effects Processor for Bass Now £105 Posted. I purchased this brand new on 10th April 2024 (10 days ago at time of posting this ad), I keep trying various pedals but I really do think that I'm too old to start learning how to use them properly, so this is definitely the last one I will try and I would prefer to move it on to someone a bit smarter than me who can use it to its full potential. As you would expect, it is in immaculate condition having only been used a couple of times before being re-boxed. https://zoomcorp.com/en/gb/multi-effects/bass-effects/b3n/

  4. Thanks for all the advice everyone. Here's what I have done, the cable I've been using for years is a KLOTZ 4mm² 1m cable with Neutrik Speakon connectors, I also had an identical one but was three metres in length which is far too long to connect my head that sits on top of my cabs, so what I have done is cut it down to the size I need, and re-fitted one of the connectors to the blank end. So after reading all the great advice, I now know that a 4mm cable is probably overkill, but at least I know that I have two quality cables that will probably last a lifetime.😉
  5. Does it matter what size cables are used when connecting a cab to the head? The reason I ask is because I use a KLOTZ 4mm² Speakon Speaker Lead 2 Core Extra High Power NL4FX LY240 cable to connect my head to my cab, but I now want to connect a second cab, so should I use the same size cable (ie, 4mm²) or would a smaller cable (ie, 2.5mm²) be sufficient? I have to admit that the chunky 4mm² cable gives me confidence when playing live gigs. So apart from size, are there really any real differences in performance and durability that justifies spending the extra money on a substantial cable?

  7. I saw them at Knebworth in the summer of '76 and they were fantastic! The full line-up that day were The Rolling Stones, 10cc, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Todd Rundgren's Utopia , Hot Tuna , Don Harrison Band. Brings back great memories for me.
  8. I'm a massive Skynyrd fan and was into them before they broke over here in the early 70's, but strangely, Free Bird is my least favourite Skynyrd song, I find the intro and the verses dreary, and the solo's go on far too long. Gimme Three Steps, Simple Man, and Call Me The Breeze are my favourite Skynyrd numbers and were the first songs my new band's set list. 👍

  10. Yes the combo is my limit too, I found the extension cab was just a bit too much for my back.😟
  11. I owned the Rumble 800 combo and extension cab, I found the extension cab to be a lot heavier than the combo.
  12. Thanks for all the advice guys.👍
  13. I've just acquired a Behringer XENYX X2222USB, it's a bit grubby, and some of the pots and sliders are a bit crackly. I'm quite practically minded and would like to take it apart, taking photos along the way to ensure I put everything back properly, and give everything a good clean with compressed air cans etc. I was told by the previous owner that the mixer works as it should, but is just a bit crackly on some channels. So my question is: After doing all this, will all the crackles disappear, or am I wasting my time trying to restore it to working order?

  17. Would a pair of WHARFEDALE PRO DELTA AX-12 active speakers be a good choice for a pub/club band playing soft rock? Probably just vocals going through the PA. Your opinions would be much appreciated.
  18. They are nice but they are not a true birth year bass
  19. I would love a birth year bass but being Precision bass player, and being born in 1951, I don't think I will be able to afford a 51 P 😟

  21. Steve bought a Korg multi-effects pedal from me and it was a very easy, and very pleasant transaction.
  22. This is my practise setup at home, it's a Warwick Gnome iPro and Barefaced ONE10 cab. The Gnome chucks out 280W at 4ohm and 180W at 8ohm, so plenty loud enough for smaller gigs and rehearsals if necessary, and it also doubles up as an audio interface if required, it's small enough to take to gigs as a backup, and the cab sounds superb at low volume for practising at home, although the Gnome also has a headphone out for quiet practising. For me, it's just a great setup all round.👍
  23. I certainly wouldn't feel stupid using a pedal because of my age, but I do feel that at 72 my brain don't work too well these days, so fiddling around with settings etc when playing live would be a worry to me. 🙁
  24. Having to memorise all the different settings for all the different songs when I'm gigging just frightens the life out of me. I've always just plugged in and used the controls on my bass, and occasionally on my amp. And yes I know, it's probably just me, but when you get older, the less things to worry about, the better I find. 😉
