  1. Hi everyone. The speaker cone sounds like it has spilt on my TC BG250 112 combo. I'm getting a rasping sound on various EQ settings at low and high volumes. Does this sound like I need a new speaker? Can this be done by a novice DIYer and if so, can anybody recommend a suitable replacement that will fit the existing cab? Cheers.
  2. I bought this recently from our very own jay-syncro and wasn't planning on selling it anytime soon but I've had the chance to buy back something that i regretted selling so here we are. I hope jay doesn't mind me using some of the wording from his original advert. The bass is in excellent condition as jay gave it a recent clean and setup including a new set of D'Adarrio strings. I've only used It on 2 gigs. It plays beautifully and sounds great. These basses offer incredible value for money! I paid the bargain of price £295 from jay, which one of our members commented was an SR700 for SR500 money. This is actually true as I've just sold an SR500 for £300. I'd like to think that we are an honest bunch on here so I'm not trying to make any money on this, although it is up for sale elsewhere for a higher price! I've listed it for £375 as I've added a brand new Ibanez moulded case which I've never had out of the house as I'm too afraid to scratch the case! 🤣 Happy to package this up for postage but you would have to arrange your own courier, otherwise collection from Whitley Bay or possible meet up in the Darlington area as I get down there a bit. Here's the manufacturer specs: "The SR700 features a double-cutaway mahogany body bolted to a jatoba and bubinga SR4 neck with a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with abalone ovals position markers. Components include a pair of Bartolini MK-1 pickups, an Accu-cast B20 fixed bridge with 19mm string spacing, die-cast machine heads. Controls consist of a single volume, balancer, and Bartolini MK1 3-band EQ with treble, bass, and mid boost/cut"
  3. TC Electronic Switch-3 footswitch. Designed for use with compatible TC Electronic bass amplifiers, such as the BG250 series. Key features: Allows remote control of amp functions like Mute and TonePrint effects. The mute feature silences the amp output, useful for silent tuning. Connects to the amplifier via a single standard instrument cable. Comes with a 5m long cable. Price includes UK mainland delivery.
  4. Sire P7 Antique White. These basses are great value for the money with features you'd expect from a much more expensive basses. The previous owner replaced the original knobs with chunkier versions and lightly sanded the neck so it now has a nice satin feel to it. Collection preferred but I could possibly source some packing materials if you're prepared to arrange your own courier.
  5. Line 6 Pod Express Bass Pedal No velcro on the bottom, only used a handful of times. Great little unit with some very useable effects and preamps. Has a built in tuner and can be used for home practice with the headphone out facility. Excellent condition. No PSU or USB cable.
  6. Ibanez SR500 in Brown Mahogany. Lovely thin neck as you'd expect from an Ibby.. No major dings that I can see other than some buckle rash on the back. Currently strung with flats but can supply with round wounds if required. Currently offering with collection only but I could sell this in a brand new Ibanez MB300C fitted hardcase for an extra £90 if you were prepared to organise your own courier.

  7. Why has nobody bought this yet?!
  8. Evening all. I currently play in a classic rock covers band with 2 guitarists but I'm looking for a new project next year. I was thinking about a three piece band(definitely not 2 guitarists again) but I've wondered what it would be like to play with a good quality drum machine. Has anyone on here ever tried it and if so, how did you get on? Cheers
  9. So I tried rolling off a little bit of bass and boosting the mids slightly and I think that it worked. I felt like I wasn't being lost behind the kick drum and it gave me a little bit more definition in my bass sound. A work in progress as no venue is the same, but a good start. Thanks for the advice everyone!
  10. @Phil StarrWe use in ear monitors which sound sooo different to the main PA sound, i.e. very toppy and they pick up every string click which can be a bit off-putting. However I'm more concerned with the front of house sound as I'm often told that the audience can't hear the bass very well so I will try your suggestions at the gig tonight.
  11. Thanks guys, I'll give those suggestions a try tonight. Particularly in relation to Pinball's comment above, I do realise that I need to put the sound of the band before my own personal tastes. I'll just leave it for the guitarists to be the selfish ones...🤣
  12. I have the classic issue of my bass isn't cutting through the mix very well at gigs. I have no backline so I rely on my PA completely. The problem I have is that I really like the 2 pickup mid-mid scoop type sound and while it sounds great in isolation, it's gets lost in the mix. I also know that I should be pushing the mids to cut through and while I don't like the isolated sound, I'm sure it will cut through the band mix better. So my question is which frequencies should I be cutting/pushing on my mixing desk(Behringer XR18). For reference my pa speaker set up is 2x18 in bins and 2x12 tops. Thanks in advance.
  13. It's 4.5kg Tom.
  14. Postage might be an option if this is still here in couple of weeks but I'd need to source a shipping box.
