My old Akai 3000xl sampler, boxed, manual, vgc. This has the additional filter card installed, but not the additional effects card. This has sat in a box in my studio for about 10 years, I fired it up yesterday and all seems fine but the screen is a bit dim compared to its glory years. Replacement screens are available. £50 collected or plus postage at cost. KT2 6EN

The Mini is a 3/4-size version (22.75" scale length) Strat. Makes an ideal travel guitar for players of all ages and a great first guitar for young beginners. Featuring three single-coil pickups and five-way switching. I have upgraded this one with new quality saddles to replace the stock ones which keep loosening off. The back of the neck is also lightly sanded. All round great little guitar in used but good condition. £65 collected (KT2 6EN) [attachment=236493:IMG_1297_small.JPG]

Fender Squier MIJ 32" Medium Scale Precision A-serial [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]A rare and excellent bass, I believe it is 1984, serials went JV, SQ, E, A I think.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Neck is fantastic, has custom shop 62 fender pickups & kiogon wiring loom installed, proper slab rosewood board, off white body, light weight. 40mm nut, 18 /19mm spacing at the bridge.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Has some dings and scratches to the body, most obvious is a small chip near the strap button.

[quote name='Basszilla' timestamp='1484830244' post='3218843'] Ted - so that pre would sit after the CP1 and before the speakers yeah? Is that a master volume dial? Another question...What other options would I have with an extra £100 or so and would it make a great deal of difference soundwise as you upgrade the pre? [/quote] That's correct, and yes that is a master volume dial. That Project pre is supposed to be good and for £200ish seems to fit in the price range of the other gear. You can of course go nuts on any item of hifi, but that is a good range to be at - expensive enough to be out of the budget range. I haven't really looked much, I remembered Project were doing a nice range of small items, but there will be others out there...! As bassman7755 has identified, the Tascam does have line inputs on the rear and a single stereo monitor volume so you could easily use that, or at least give it a whirl!

[quote name='Basszilla' timestamp='1484805702' post='3218546'] I may have to bite the bullet and go the traditional route and invest in a separate amp and passive speakers to get the best out of my set up. [/quote] You don't need to do that, just sort out a pre-amp, those speakers are supposed to be good, plus you have eq controls on the rear for fine tweaking due to placement etc.

A [i]decent[/i] preamp to go between speakers and CP1 would be this: https://www.henleydesigns.co.uk/Pre-Box-p460 Project Pre Box S at £200 Which also has another input for CD / IPod etc if you want. And it's small. And black. Or silver.
-
You connect as suggested in the original post - turntable into cp1 > cp1 into Adams speakers via unbalanced input using standard phono cables > use the volume knobs on the front of the speakers to adjust volume individually for left/right. Ignore the Tascam, it's irrelevant. If you want a single volume control then you'll need a preamp. This could be a hifi type preamp or a dj mixer. Do you know how to set tracking weight on your turntable?

Aguilar GS112 cab + cover Barely used, ungigged 1 x 12 GS Aguilar cab + Aguilar cover, condition is like new. This is the 'no tweeter' version. Due to a problem with the original driver this cab had a replacement fitted by repair specialist Surrey Amps (exact same driver) and has had very little use since due to me DI'ing the bass when recording (Aguilar Tone Hammer is also for sale here for the same reason) £215 collected (kingston SW london) + £20 post

If you have Amazon Prime you can watch this film for free - I just found it flicking around today. Very good documentary, I didn't know much about him, but now I've got several songs I'm intending to track down...

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1482491426' post='3200975'] There you go, TL: [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Maruszczyk Elwood, TR: Ibanez ATK[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]BL: Ibanez SR1605, BR: Sherwood bass thats up for sale[/font][/color] All <= 1.75", apart from the last one that is 1.5! The elwood was obviously specified to that as it is a custom (it was specified to be the same as the 1605 in fact). [/quote] Interesting, what's the string spacing up at the bridge end on these? It was looking for tight spacing at the bridge that got me thinking about this 4 to 5 thing in the first place (although it's more of a discussion point than a serious idea to be honest). I was looking at a Hofner Violin Bass in the window of a shop and it has extremely tight spacing and the strings were almost parallel right up the neck - I'm predominantly a pick playing guitarist turned bassist and tight spacing is much easier especially for octave jump 16ths kind of thing. -

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1482416185' post='3200368'] There's a guy on eBay, a real guitar 'improver' who can turn a silk purse into a sows ear... [/quote] Oh yes! Maybe he could turn my 4 string into a 12
