    For sale is my Tech21 MidiMoose pedal. I have 2 of these and this one is surplus to requirements. In great, fully functional condition with only slight scuffing on a couple of corners. Comes with the original box. The pedal is robust and great for sending midi messages to other midi equipment / synths / DAW / effects etc. I used it with my TC G-Major. Powered by either a wall wart (not supplied) or a single 9v battery. Here a link to the Tech21 website and operating manual - Tech21. The pedal is simple to use and integrates into any midi system. It has been superceded by the Midi Mongoose a slightly smaller unit with less function switches (£175 at Thomann)

    There is a thread HERE on Basschat which gives a number of options for slowing / looping tracks for learning. I found that you can slow "Amazing Slow Downer" a lot without it getting too distorted. You used to be able to download a free version which was limited to the fist 2 mins of a track (if I remember). I tried it first (for a couple of years!) to see if I was happy then bought it.

    Good day @dave74200 For me, learning songs that push me into areas I'm not used to eg: speed / style / genre etc. I slow them down using the likes of "Amazing Slow Downer" This allows my brain and body time to think 🤣 and I split the track down into manageable chunks. Once I've learned the sections I'll start joining them together (still at a slow speed) which helps me remember fingerings and start to build on stamina. Once I can play the whole track through I then start increasing the speed by a few % making sure I'm playing as cleanly and accurately as I can. I also use the likes of Youtube to check out how otheres are playing it, noting both left and right hands. "are some of us just less able to play in this style?" I don't think it's a case of "we can't" so much as "we've probably not learned the techniques and practiced it much" Mr Harris has been playing in this style for around 40 years so has a bit of a head start on most of us 🤣

    Well done! My next gig with Reloaded is on the 2nd July at a private party for a local band "The Bash Street Kids" who are celebrating 45 years together so they could be described as comparative newcomers! 🤣

    Just sold Paolo some tuners. Easy deal, quick payment. Many thanks.

    I've checked and only have M10's ☹️

    Whats the diameter? I may have something in my box'a'bits 😁

    Good point....I've updated the header with SRX305 👍 I had a Mike Pope with additional parallel / single / series switches in it and would think one of the Bartolini type pre's would work.

    For sale or trade is my DBX DriveRack PA+ (the PLUS version) Speaker Management Processor. Lightly used and in excellent condition. Loads of great functions and very simple to program and use. Manage PA systems from 2 to 6 speaker / output arrangements using the onboard crossovers / compression / limiter / equaliser / feedback suppression etc. I've attached the manual so you can see the many functions it can undertake.

    Another way of making the muted pop sound is using the parts of your left hand fingers that are nearer your palm to mute the strings. Here's a good video which helps show it especially slowed down at approx 30 secs. 👍

    I've had a quick listen to the start of the song (great track from TOP, will listen in full later) and I'm assuming the "ticks" you're taking about I can hear at the 1.10 and 1.18 seconds points? If so they are exactly what you called them "muted" or "ghost" notes. Best way I can explain how I play these is: think of slapping straight octaves. My thumb is playing the downbeat and my first (or second) finger is playing the upbeat by plucking / popping the higher octave string. I then lift my left hand finger that's holding the higher octave up slightly to stop the string ringing eg: muting it. If you pop the string hard enough it comes back to hit the fret and with the muting provides very muted little 'tick' notes 👍 I find having a relatively low action helps with this. Hope this is what you were asking about. 😁

    Pete sold me his Headrush Gigboard and Pedal. Very easy transaction with regular comms. All the equipment was in very good condition and extremely well packaged. Many thanks Pete

    I bought mine about the same time and have gigged it extensively with no problems. In fact over the last 3 or 4 years I use it when I practice at home as well so thats a LOT of use 👍

    For sale (or trade) is my TC Electronic G Major 2 multi effects unit in excellent condition. Pictures show it in its usual rack home (rack not included). Although most of the reverb and delay effects are aimed at the guitarist I have found the compressor, gate, flanger, phaser and octaver (up and down) etc. to be very useable for bass. I have attached the manual below. You can use the unit in your DAW as well as with your bass / guitar etc. Patches can be easily selected from the front panel or attach a midi-pedal (I used a MidiMoose). There is also some Vyzor software you can download from the net which allows you to interface your PC with the GMajor to edit and backup your user patches. tc_electronic_g-major_2_manual_english.pdf

    Thanks for the quick reply Tom........scurries away to check down the back of the settee for extra funds 👍 GLWTS

    Hi xarray, nice looking 6'er you have there. I'm sure a number of people on here would be interested in a few more details such as string spacing at the bridge, how old the bass is, weight, balance (any neck dive etc), is the scratch plate removable, any dings / scratches, truss rod working and is the ramp permanent etc? GLWTS 👍
  22. Acebassmusic
    Corrected 🤣🤣 I believe John Shuker is the Mr Kipling of the bass world as he makes exceedingly good basses. This one looks beautiful and I too wish it was a 5er. GLWTS 👍
  23. Acebassmusic
    That was excellent and well put together. Quite enjoyed it 👍

    For sale is my modified Ibanez SRX305 body and neck only which I used as the basis for a project using other parts I had at the time. The fully functioning bass was for sale on here but I withdrew it as I wanted some of the parts for other basses etc. The following is text taken from the build description giving you an idea of what I did: Strip the full body and neck Re-profile the body giving much better access to the 24 frets / fit a battery box Fill body & re-route for pickups, electronics Re-shape the headstock Re-profile the neck at the heel end to flow into the body better. Relocate and fit bolts and inserts for the body / neck joint. Re-paint the headstock and body in colour shift paint (purple / blue / red) and clear coat the neck. I can split the neck / body and wrap it for smaller package and cheaper shipping costs. The sale is for the body, neck and anything bolted to them thats in the pictures. No electrics, nut, tuners, pre amp etc. Price doesnt include shipping.

    For sale I have 5 lightweight chrome tuners taken off my Ibanez SRZ. Good quality and condition. They're lightweight at 58g each (Hipshot Ultralights are advertised as 51g each) Diameter of the sleeve that goes into the headstock is approx. 13.8mm so a hole of 14mm+ would be sufficient. Retainer screws included. Tuner orientation is 2 bass side and 3 treble side so could also be used for a 2 per side 4 string as well. 👍 Price includes UK shipping.
