Can I apologise in advance for what, I'm sure, is a really stupid question (I can already picture some of you reading this with your head in your hands!)? Right, deep breath, here goes: I'm changing a heavy duty (Bassic bits) speaker lead from Speakon-Jack to Speakon/Speakon. I've got a red and blue wire. If red was wired to the centre of the jack pin and red to the outer where do they go in the Speakon connector? I'm presuming they're wired centre to centre (would that be +/+?) but I'm not too proud to check! Thanks.

Any preference as to Nickels or Steel? I really liked La Bella Deep Talkin' strings when I used them a year or so ago. Since then I've reverted back to good old Roto's though...

[quote name='bigsmokebass' post='890530' date='Jul 9 2010, 04:05 PM']£25 posted? i know its not alot and abit cheeky but all i got ^_^ maybe an extra £5 when i get moneys if you accept. PM me =][/quote] Sorry buddy, but I'm not going to look at offers as I think the price is fair as is. If it doesn't go at that price I'll hold on to it or put it on the bay of e's. Thanks all the same, Mark -
I never used to use compression at all but since acquiring my TC RH450 I run the Spectracomp at about 9/10 'o' clock all the time. Gives me a lot of punch to my sound, which I really love. I'd never use a Compressor though, I htink, and on any heads I've had that have had it built in (Hartke HA3500, Trace AH300SMX) I've often had set so low - and then proably only because it was there - that it most likely wasn't 'engaging' most of the time! The Spectracomp on the RH450 does add a certain [i]Je ne sais quoi[/i] though. Mark

For sale, a real life, genuine Boss CEB-3 Bass Chorus pedal, folks. Whilst I wouldn't claim that these are exactly rare and hard to come by, they are popular for a reason - they sound good, they're reliable and Boss quality is pretty much guaranteed. Rate, depth, frequency cut controls to vary the amount of Chorus applied to the bass or treble part of the register, and level controls give a wide range of options and sounds. More information here for those who want it: [url="http://www.bosscorp.co.jp/products/en/CEB-3/"]http://www.bosscorp.co.jp/products/en/CEB-3/[/url] It's in excellent condition - bar a slight scratch on the casing where it says 'Output' (see photo) - and even has a battery with a wee bit of life in it yet. No box or instructions though, so I'll take £35 posted for it. I'm sure the instructions at least should be downloadable from t'internet somewhere. No paypal though please - can't stump up charges at this price. Bank transfer preferred. Cheers, Mark

SOLD: Purple Chili PCB 112NT, SOLD
Bass Culture replied to Bass Culture's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
[quote name='Rowbee' post='889953' date='Jul 8 2010, 10:39 PM']I have to say Mark, given that we've had numerous discussions on the quest for the perfect tone, I'm not surprised that you've moved onto another rig. But at the same time I really thought you'd found your thing with these Purple Chilis. I'm still keeping the faith with the SA450 and Barefaced Compact I bought from you. I've still only done one gig where I needed both Barefaced cabs.[/quote] I was wondering where you'd got to, Rob - good to hear from you! Yeah, I think if it wasn't for the fact that I ultimately decided to 'rationalise' my set up and look for a single, high-powered, lightweight cab, I would still be happily running with both the PC's still. Really nice sound all round, I thought. Early days yet, I know, but the Barefaced looks like The One so far! Drop me a line if you're in the neck of the woods again. We're down in The Cotswolds again in the beginning of September. I'd still love to catch one of your bands live. All the best, mark -

Bassplayers in hats.. A sale at our faourite hat store
Bass Culture replied to OldGit's topic in General Discussion
There is a number of hats I could cheerfully shell out for there. But, that said, I am off (with Mrs Bass Culture) to the Latitude Festival next week; when we went last year I returned with my black leather trilby, which has been known to make an appearance with The Trigger Fingers from time to time. Definitely need to try before you buy though - I was quite heartbrokken when I saw how badly the tartan pork pie hat I had designs on suited me! -

I freely admit I'm a 47 year old fart and this kind of stuff wouldn't normally be my kind of thing. But even I really enjoyed this! Well done that man!

Used the Super Twelve at a rehearsal with another band last night playing original, rockier material. It matches my RH450 so well - just had a huge smile on my face for three hours! Huge sound. The only tonal adjustment I've done between the gig, recording session and rehearsal I've used it at since I got the cab on Friday is to alter the pickup pan on my Roscoe. That's all I've needed to do to accommodate three completely different rooms.

[quote name='Musicman20' post='886272' date='Jul 5 2010, 01:36 PM']I must admit there are a lot of small manufacturers making cabs at the moment, but these PC cabs look incredibly well made....good luck with the sale [/quote] Thanks. Yep, they're very nice cabs - well put together and finished. And they don't sound too bad either! -

Sorry! Mark -
Took delivery of one of Alex's Super Twelve's on Friday - mine is finished with silver grille cloth - and used it for a wedding gig on Saturday and some recording yesterday. I've got to say, even though we've only been dating for a couple of days, I think I'm in love. For me it's got absolutely everything and is exactly what I've been looking for - a portable (it's got integrated castors - back of the net!), one cab solution, that will be loud enough for all the gigs I'm likely to cover (pubs, clubs and small to medium sized halls mostly). Sound is punchy, full and defined - full, tight lows, pronounced and punchy mids and nice, smooth highs, but really well balanced too. I'm really impressed by how little the character of the sound changes between different volume settings too - don't you hate it when you get a nice, punchy, tight sound at home practice levels, turn the volume up and suddenly it goes all manic on you? Yeah, me too. The Super Twelve doesn't do that - to my ear. All in all I think this is a great cab. Photos and more comprehensive review to be posted in the 'Reviews' section to due course. Thought I'd start spreading the love as soon as I could though. Oh, and it looks so cool with the silver grill cloth! BC EDIT for photos: I was going to do a fuller review but I really couldn't add anything to the fullsome praise Me and My Bass has lavished on his cab in his excellent review already - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=88457"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=88457[/url] The drummer in one of my bands is a multi-instrumentalist and plays bass also. A couple of weeks back he congratulated on my bass sound when I was still using my Purple Chili PCB112. Last week he turned to me and said that he loved the sound of the new cab even more than the old one. I put a lot of empasis on the (lower) mids in my sound and he went on to say that it wasn't really a sound he went for himself when he was playing bass but we then spent 3 minutes discussing bass sounds and generally praising the Super Twelve - much to the chagrin of the singer and guitarist! Nothing's perfect, of course, but the Super Twelve pretty much fits the bill for me completely at this moment in time. Only time will tell if the first wave of passion will develop into long-term commitment but my wandering eye has been stilled for the time being!

SOLD: Purple Chili PCB 112NT, SOLD

Having taken delivery of one of Alex’s Super twelve’s today I’m looking to sell my second Purple Chili 1x12” cab. I’d been happily using two of these for 6 months or so, until I was seduced by Alex’s new cab and decided to go with a single 2x12 cab rather than the two 1x12’s I’d been using. Nowt wrong with the Purple Chili’s at all – big sound for a small cab with a really nice depth to the bass. They look great and weigh just a teenst weensy bit more than a king size duvet! Here’s the lowdown from the horse’s mouth (i.e. the Purple Chili website): • Powder coated metal grille • Road ready metal handles • Metal protection corners • Neutrik speakon connectors • Pro 1/4" jack connectors • "Pure Look" retro styling • Pro Celestion driver • 1 x BN12 300S Neo driver • 300 watts RMS • 8 ohm as standard • 40Hz - 3Khz • H 49cm - W 52cm - D 41.2cm (excluding feet) • Weight 12.7kg • Made in England I’ve used this cab (the first has already gone to Shambo) on about three or four gigs and have been rehearsing with it for six months; it’s been well taken care of and is in nice condition – the one blemish is a slight scratch in the vinyl on the top, which you’ll see in the photo. I’m looking for [b]£275[/b][u][/u]. Can’t post as I’ve got no packaging for it now but I’m happy to deliver up to say, 40-50 miles from Chester for fuel money. Thanks, Mark P.S.

FS: Boss ME-20b multi-effects pedal - SOLD
Bass Culture replied to Bass Culture's topic in Effects For Sale
-
I have for sale a virtually unused Boss ME-20B multi effects in shop condition, boxed, complete with manuals and original batteries still sealed in the packaging. My wife bought this for me as a Christmas present as I was struggling to think of anything else. I don’t really know what possessed me, seeing as a Chorus pedal was the one and only effect I’d used in 30 years of playing up until then! Anyway, I took it out and programmed a few combinations of effects and have never used it in anger since – there’s just no demand for it in any of the bands I play in and it’s just sitting there feeling unloved and unwanted. I’m sure most of you will already be familiar with this unit but for those of you who are less so, here’s some blurb from the Boss website: ME-20B: Bass Multiple Effects Performance-Based Effects for Bass Features The second new offering in the ME series is the ME-20B, a powerful multi-effects unit optimized for live performance. With the same performance-based design as its guitar-focused ME-20 counterpart, the ME-20B is aimed at the performing bassist who wants stage-friendly effects and solid construction at an affordable price. Mix, match, and customize a wide variety of effects, including compressor, overdrive, distortion, T-Wah, phaser, flanger, chorus, delay, reverb, defretter, synth, and more. • Performance-based bass processor for the player who wants an easy-to-use interface with BOSS tone and quality • New super-tough metal chassis with 3 footswitches, 5 realtime control knobs, and expression pedal • EZ Edit for quick sound creation • Unique effects such as Synth, Octave, Defretter, and more • BASS ENHANCE function for instant presence boost • 30 user memory locations in addition to realtime operation • Battery or AC powered Some photos of the little fella: And here’s a link to the website, which gives an awful lot more information than I could, as there’s further links giving more detailed information on the specifications: [url="http://www.bossus.com/gear/productdetails.php?ProductId=895"]http://www.bossus.com/gear/productdetails.php?ProductId=895[/url] Even a novice such as myself found it pretty easy to set up after spending a little time with the manual, so, if you’re toying with the idea of introducing a few effects into your sound, I think the ME-20b represents as cost effective way of doing it as you could think of. [u][b]I’m looking for £75 posted[/b]. [/u]Hell, I'll even throw in a power supply for it! My feedback can be found here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=43960"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=43960[/url] Thanks, Mark
