I would second the TC Electronic BG250 208 - I've got one in my practice room and it is great at quiet volumes and goes quite loud when you want it to. I've had a Fender Rumble 15 in the past, and it was worth every penny of the £25 I sold it for - but not much more.

For collection only, and free of charge to one lucky winner is a Behringer SL2442FX PRO mixer. 24 channels with 16 Pre-amps. I used to use this a keyboard sub-mixer in my now long gone hardware setup. Now all digital I have no need or space for this. Was working with a little bit of crackle when the on-board FX were patched in, otherwise perfectly fine from memory. Collection only, as I don't have time to wait in for couriers. Postcode for collection is NN3.

E bay...where have all the bargains gone?
sammybee replied to theplumber's topic in General Discussion
As a seller I love Ebay. I always get more £ than I expect, hassle free (providing you follow the rules). Things sell quickly, and you don't get the tire kickers and timewasters like you do on Gumtree. Happy to pay 10% for that. My strategy is to always buy low and sell at a reasonable (not high) cost. Can't go wrong. -

USB Drive with installation media for PC or MAC - you chose Screenshot of the deactivation screen - so you can see for yourself it's a fresh licence.

[attachment=238062:IMG_2583.JPG][attachment=238063:IMG_2584.JPG]I am reluctantly disposing of a lot of my studio hardware as I prepare to move into a new music sanctuary - keep an eye out for other bits and pieces. I bought this pre-amp about a year ago, serviced it & fixed an intermittent fault with the foot-switch socket and it has sat mostly unused in the rack since then. Here's someone on youtube demoing better than I could. [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZFWBpzcTUw"]https://www.youtube....h?v=PZFWBpzcTUw[/url] - Mine is the same variant as the one in the video. Adding a couple of pics (12/2/2017)

[quote name='Osiris' timestamp='1483687404' post='3209223'] Who did you use in Northampton? This seems a ridiculously low price for a set up, not that I'm complaining My cheap and cheerful stunt bass that I use for those [i]special[/i] gigs could do with a decent set up but it's not really worth spending a fortune on. [/quote] Paul Creedy (based in Duston) does all mine. He's done some cracking work for me over the years - and everyone I've recommended him to has been pleased with his work (guitars and bass).

I pay £22.50 for full set up. Based in Northampton.

The bass is boost only, with an indent midway - I think I might have had the bass boosted whoops.
-
Oh I dont have everything cranked up - like you it's close to flat, with just a tiny touch of bass and treble boost. It still sounds like it will blow the doors off. I'll take a look at the trim settings on the preamp. I really want to like it, but initial impressions aren't great. Whereas my stingray seems to flatter my poor playing - and make it sound good, the J-Retro seems to magnify all the bits I dont like!

New to bass Guitar - Advice for buying a used bass privately
sammybee replied to Numerov's topic in Bass Guitars
If you are new to the bass, take someone who isn't with you. Otherwise buying privately will be a real gamble. -
Squier make a pink 3/4 fender suitable for a 7 yo (I have one for my daughter) and its great. It only cost £90 new from Gear4Music. I wouldnt mess around with a chinese seller for the sake of saving £5

I recently added/upgraded my 75 RI Jazz to sport a J-Retro, wanting to add a MM type sound to my arsenal. Boy was I disappointed. It just seems too much, like adding nitrous oxide to a moped. It's not my only active bass, I have a stingray and used to own a MM Jazz. Love the stingray sound (wasnt so keen on the Jap MM). Am I the only one who thinks the J-Retro sound is just too OTT? Should I persevere with it? At least it's an easily reversible upgrade. Opinions?

James bought a Fender combo from me. Instant payment via bank transfer, superb comms and a successful collection from my workplace. Nice chap to deal with, deal with confidence. Welcome to basschat and may this be the first of many forum purchases!
