I've been offered a Headway EDM1 but its beyond my budget. Anyone got anything within my budget? 

Hi guys 

I'm using one of those cheap BassMax copies off eBay and using an LS2 as a preamp as it does a fair job of sorting out the impedance but I'd like some tone shaping too. Anyone got anything? Preferably reasonably priced too. Tempt me with an EDB2 or a bargain Fishman. 

Thanks!

I'll take the Levys!

Can I take

43.  Blues Scales for all instruments – Dan Greenblatt – with CD £7

I'm part way through building a custom floor controller for Ableton. It'll be USB connected to my laptop and will output typed letters that can be mapped to Ableton's looper, then I can send a drummer a click, play along to programmed percussion and use VSTs to bolster the sound.

There's not a lot on the market that's suitable - I'm budgeting space for 25-30 switches.

Yes please! I'll take them.

Hello!

I'm a 32 year old with a lot of touring and studio experience; I'm looking for bands near Manchester or Liverpool (I'm Bolton-based at the mo).

I can read dots, charts, tab and learn by ear. I've got my own equipment (as well as some PA gear) and I have transport.

I've got out of a few originals bands recently and I'm looking for covers/tribute work and I have experience playing Jazz, Punk, Funk, Pop, Folk (the list goes on)...

email me at thebrokendoor at g mail dot com or pm me here and I can send videos / recordings of my work.

Guys now £180 including postage. Just had an unexpected expense so I need the cash.

Paul bought a case off me and was a really positive guy to deal with. Prompt payment and generally an all-round nice guy!

Chris bought a neck off me and was a really positive guy to deal with. Prompt payment and generally an all-round nice guy!

Original Korg Microkorg used mainly in the studio.

I love this synth but since I'm playing mainly jazz I just don't need it. The filters are huge, the sounds are so varied, it is an awesome bit of kit.

Small keys mean you can do huge open chords, and the programming matrix means its easy to change stuff on the fly.

Thanks everyone but the case and neck are now sold.

I've got a few potential buyers but nothing firm yet so I thought I'd post some photos:

There are holes for mounting large Fender-style and smaller modern tuners that I can plug if the buyer wants but they never caused me any issues. There are also two sets of holes at the heel that you don't notice after fitting and they cause no issues regarding stability or anything.

If the extra holes weren't there I'd be asking for more than £50 mainly because of that gorgeous board, but I think £50 is fair for this excellent neck.

I'l ship with reinforcement or I'll offer a discount on a Hiscox LiteFlite case if bought together (I'll be listing that later today).

Thanks!

I've tried to shift this beautiful fretless neck a few times but I thought it was a fake. I contacted Jaydee who have confirmed the reason it is so beautiful is because it was made by them!!

Gorgeous unlined fretless neck to fit Stingray style (I had it on a bitsa Precision and moved the bridge a bit to compensate). The board is jet black (I'm assuming ebony).

I'm based in the NW and I'll ship it at the buyer's expense.

£50

Devlar where did you get a compensated wood bridge for so cheap?

So it seems the system (Meridian kp620m) is so generic that I can't find any details online. The speaker cone has 'cw 10/100 8Ω' on the back.

If i can't find the specs on the speaker, what happens if I replace it with any old 10", 100w, 8Ω speaker?

Thanks!

Thanks Bill. It's a generic Chinese thing but there's a code on the back so I'll do some digging.

So I put my multimeter on the two connections of the speaker and It's look like there's no connection.

-Does this rule out the circuit being the problem?
-Can I repair something in the speaker, or does it just need replacing?

Thanks

I got interrupted half way through my diagnosis, but I'll have another check of everything. Damn, I was hoping for an easy fix!

I'll return with more stupid questions!

This PA speaker's not working so I put a multimeter on the white thing and the yellow thing and the little thing and the only one that seemed not to be working is the yellow thing. I guess that means if I replace it, it might work so... what the hell is it!?

Our stories are so similar! My daughter is 10 months old now and I've just accepted that DB practice is on hold for a while. Instead I'm playing jazz standards on a telecaster at low volume and practicing my arpeggios on that. It isn't helping my technique on the DB but it is developing my knowledge and understanding.

Steve Berry, who teaches at Cheetham's and RNCM amongst others has a German grip Thomann brand carbon fibre thing and swears by it. I think it was around £70

I'd have thought it was something to do with the string's nodes. If you travel the bow along the string either towards the bridge or nut, does it change the sound?

I've found the Band pickup from Headway to be really good and simple to use. It is especially good for me since my bass doesn't have good bridge wing slots (the pointy ones instead of flat, slot ones)

I also have the pointy bridge but I bought a J-Tone single paddle and I managed to get it in and have a good pressure. I couldn't get it on the G side so I sanded a bit, with it being a point I took off too much so it has to be on the E side now.

I gigged with it yesterday and it sounded pretty good. Not incredible but definitely passable, and definitely worth the £30 I paid for it!!
