  1. Up for sale is a pair of award winning top-of-the-range Mackie Studio Monitors. THX certified - and you won't need an additional sub! These have been in my "studio" space providing big sounds for both the enjoyment of music and whilst I am teaching. They are used and there are marks around the cabinets where they have been moved from one house to another. I've never needed to push them (due to working from home and can't wake the kids etc etc). The only foible I know about these speakers is that one doesn't drop in to "sleep" mode - i.e. powering down when they haven't been used for an extended period. But that's super fine as the on/off switch is on the front of the cabinet anyway! Now, they ARE boxed up in a proper Mackie shipping carton ready to go after coming off my desk this morning. However I would strongly recommend collection. especially at this price. These things are +£600 EACH at online prices. The pair for £400 - Bank Transfer or Cash on collection. If you must have them shipped, I will recommend a courier but arranging is for you - As I say, collection is recommended but if you must, then shipping is your responsibility. Look at them beautiful cones! They're all fragile and everything!!!! These things sound blooming lovely and have helped me record bass for more than one album. https://mackie.com/products/hrmk2-series-professional-studio-monitors CURVES ZERO-EDGE BAFFLE™ The one-piece cast aluminum Zero Edge Baffle™ features precisely engineered curvature that minimizes diffraction for a crystal clear image of your mix, and effectively controls sound waves so you get detailed lows, full, articulate mids, and shimmering highs. POWER PRECISION AMPLIFICATION The HRmk2 Series monitors contain separate onboard amplifiers for each driver, plus onboard active crossovers and time-correction circuitry, which helps ensure highs and lows reach your ears at the same time. The HRmk2s also have protection circuitry built in to protect from damaging input levels. CRAFTSMANSHIP UNPARALLELED QUALITY We go to elaborate lengths to ensure each HRmk2 sounds as good as our experts intended. Each one we manufacture is subject to rigorous testing and pre-screening during the production process, then calibrated and tuned with an environmentally controlled test chamber before final packaging. WOOD CABINET DESIGN The HRmk2 monitors feature a wood cabinet, with custom internal bracing to increase its strength and rigidity in desired locations. To absorb internal reflections and dampen standing waves inside the cabinet, an open-cell adiabatic foam material is placed strategically inside the box NDICATE POWER AND OVERLOAD LED Our LED power indicator is a tasty shade of white and red for when things get pushed a little too hard. We took care to make sure the brightness is just right, too. The light shines bright enough so you can see it just fine in a well-lit room, and in a dark environment, it won’t distract or blind you.
  2. @therealting.. reckon this is a good time to ruin a good thread with that photoshop?
  3. A smooth and easy transaction with Duncan who has bought some IEM hardware from me. Would recommend! D000000000d
  4. Yes, and at times is akin to holding a plastic sword up to a pack of hungry lions. That said, if your job is you "calling", then it's easy to be motivated by the love of it all. To those outsiders, it must look like I am some sort of obsessive. Ha! I actually get quite upset when an external influence (Thats a whole other conversation for another day!) gets in the way of my progress/earning potential/self-development/work. I adore this job and it will be a very hard and difficult day (week, month, year) should I have to give it all up.
  5. I officially became a full-time professional musician over ten years ago now. When I left the "Safe Zone" of what everyone calls a "normal day job", the first thing I did, before even remotely getting excited about leaving the rat-race was to get business advice. I did this off my own back. I coughed up for an advisor. I went to seminars on everything from tax to marketing. I shadowed others doing the same work that I wanted to do. I volunteered and I learned how to network effectively. I agree, it's not enough to just be good at what you might love doing. That will not pay the bills if you suck at the administrative side of things. I have watched several music-related businesses fail because of this massive imbalance of music skills vs business skills. I'm no expert and theres plenty I could do to improve my own business, but I've learned over the years a bit about what you should do and thankfully common sense has always told me what really isn't a good plan. I also agree with your first statement. At least making yourself available to start with puts you nearer to those doors you want to open.
  6. Here’s the advert:
  7. Gotta love the Helix for multiple signal paths! Yeah, all of that and more!
  8. Ouch! The bass going public aren’t going to wear that.
  9. I suggested years ago (at least ten) to Larry that they should have put a 1000W D Class module in the LH series. Actually, there was a discussion on here it too, but I cant remember who I was chatting to. Funnily, around the same time I spent quite a few emails suggesting to a well-known not-so-british-anymore UK brand that they should have taken their hugely successful valve based amplification and added D Class power amps to those as well. Paul the tech guy liked the idea but sadly it never happened, though both brands have finally embraced D Class amplification now though. Possibly a little late to the party? I don't know.
  10. Yeah! The kettle hadn't even finished boiling!!!! 🤣 - I think we might have an entry in the Guinness Book of Records.. Mmmm Guinness....
  11. 💕 Bless your heart! Thank you!
  12. No timestamps on the messages but yeah, I am pretty sure this was one of the fastest sales including the time for Jon to head over and collect. Insane!! But it has been brilliant fun too hanging out with one of my fellow BCers!
  13. For those having moved to "FRFR" with powered cabinets like those from RCL and QSC (and many more of course) they are already enjoying Bi-Amping and the benefits that a well tuned system can bring. In this case I love the idea. Pop to a gig with just my Helix and one of these active cabinets for monitoring. Chuck everything in to the PA - that's practically one trip from the car!
  14. An enjoyable morning spent with MudPup today. Jon has just bought my Berg cab - Absolutely spot on and I am sure that had we more time, we would have nattered all day. BassChat is a great community and Jon is certainly one who makes it so. Cheers Jon!
  15. All SOLD now to a rather lovely chap called Jon!
  16. I'm hoping I won't end up feeling the same!!!
  17. Comes in original tin with plastic wrap - it's never been out the house. Was supposed to be for a mini rig but I've never used it - One of the smallest MIDI controllers on the market and this one is as new. £100 includes insured shipping to mainland England. If you want it sending further it will of course cost more!! (Bank Trans) http://www.tech21nyc.com/products/effects/midi-mongoose/ Whether you’re a MIDI-meister or amongst the MIDI-mindless, the MIDI Mongoose is a super simple way to control your gear on stage, in the studio, and on DJ decks for sound and lighting, too. Tech 21’s intuitive engineering eliminates the intimidation of trying to decipher an encyclopedia-sized manual just so you can change a darn program. The MIDI Mongoose is the next generation of its predecessor, the MIDI Moose. It has a significantly smaller footprint and additional capabilities. There are 2 independent inputs for continuous controllers to facilitate use with your other MIDI equipment, as well as a 7-pin phantom power jack. With just 5 footswitches, you can change groupings of preset programs by five or ten at a clip. You can also access Special Page functions to set MIDI channel numbers and to set continuous controller channel numbers and calibration. MIDI MONGOOSE FEATURES Three modes of operation: • Standard 9V alkaline battery (not included) provides a minimum of 200 hours usage • Optional power supply (Tech 21 Model #DC4) • Phantom power via the MIDI cable • Access 128 patches on any of the 16 selectable MIDI channels • Smooth-action custom actuators • All-metal housing • Large, non-glare LED display can be read from any angle, in daylight or darkness • Probably the world’s smallest manuals for any MIDI product • Size: 11.5”L x 2.5”W x 1.25”H
  18. @D'Addario UK's customer support is awesome!!
  19. I probably need to do this quickly so I don't regret it too much... (I will) Comes with an official Bergantino cover (that has signs of wear and some minor loose stitching, but that just shows that it has been doing it's job - protecting the CN212 within. No shipping currently UNLESS I can find a big enough box and essential packing. £660 please - I may entertain specific trades and will get a list together, depending on my needs. I'm not gigging at the moment and thus I only need one full bass rig, my Bergantino amp and a pair of matching Bergantino cabinets. So this one is on it's way out to pay a few bills. From one of the finest bass cabinet designers of the 21st Century comes a new range of lightweight cabinets using cutting edge Neodymium speaker technology coupled with advanced lightweight cabinet design. Using only the highest grade lightweight void free Baltic birch and precision built custom drivers, this new range of cabinets from Bergantino Audio are already another hugely popular addition from this established company. The Bergantino Audio Systems ‘Carbon Neo’ CN series of lightweight speaker cabinets nod their head to the traditional HD series but have a different function. These are the lightest speaker cabinets that we make. The precision tuned cabinet architecture and the enclosures are built with the finest lightweight Italian poplar plywood (with Baltic birch baffle boards) selected to our specifications. This lightweight cabinet material (along with the lightweight magnet material) helps reduce the overall cabinet weight. The lightweight carbon covering is used for cabinet cover material and is also lighter than the traditional tolex covering found on most speaker cabinets. A rigid black grille is added to protect the drivers from damage. The internal components used are extremely high quality and they are of Bergantino design. No ‘off-the-shelf’ parts are used. Woofers with Neodymium magnet material are used for the low frequency section of the CN series cabinets. The Neodymium drivers have a punchier low-end and a very sweet midrange that is placed a little more forward in the sound field when compared to the HD series. Fretless and upright players will often prefer the CN cabinets because of how the midrange ‘speaks’ with their instruments. The CN series cabinets have a high intelligibility tweeter mated to the woofers through a custom designed phase-coherent crossover with a tweeter control. Because of the increased cost of the Neodymium magnet material, imported wood for the cabinetry and the unique covering material, the CN series speakers cost more than the HD series, but may just be the right match for your playing style and weight needs. Model CN212 specifications: •2 x 12" Custom Neodymium drivers with 7 oz magnets •high intelligibility 1" tweeter •custom phase - coherent crossover with tweeter level control •Precision tuned 100% Baltic Birch cabinet •power handling - 700 watts rms •frequency response: tbc •sensitivity: tbc db @ 1 Watt/1 meter •2 x 1/4" and 2 x neutrik connectors •impedance: 4 ohms •dimensions: 31"H x 18-1/2"W x 15"D •79cm x 46cm x 38cm •weight: 46lbs/20 Kgs Image and text borrowed from Bass Direct's cached pages (Google search)
  20. Good lord! I had to quote you including the picture.. just..well, because!
  21. If you have been following the huge IEM thread here on BC and are using the Behringer XR mixers, then these two are essential items for your IEM needs! The P16m is your own 16 channel mixer with EQ on every channel as well as an overall limiter to stop your ears being blown! The P16m can save your mixer settings in 16 memory slots. Perfect for different venues or indeed different bands. I used this mixer with a function band and adored listening to all of our mixes in glorious stereo knowing that I had complete control over what went to my ears. I preferred using the P16m over an iPad for remote control as I could reach over and grab a control knob rather than having to faff with whatever apps I currently had open on my iPad. The P16m sat perfectly in a Stagg stand! The P2 ISN'T required to use the P16m but I kept this powered headphone amplifier as a spare in case I had any failures in my kit. Therefore it is still as new, boxed, still wrapped up and ready to go. You can use this with the P16m if you really want or pass it on to a band mate. https://www.behringer.com/Categories/Behringer/Signal-Processors/In-Ear-Monitoring/P16-M/p/P0421#googtrans(en|en) 16-channel digital stereo mixer to create your personal monitor mix Ultra-intuitive "analog" operation with total recall and 16 presets for custom mixes State-of-the-art 24-bit D/A converters for premium audio quality 16 Channel Select buttons with dual LEDs for perfect overview Level and Pan/Spread control per channel with LED meter 3-band EQ per channel with mid-band frequency control Solo and Mute functions per channel Global Level and EQ controls plus Panic Mute function High power and "drummer proof" headphones output Fully adjustable limiter protects your ears and headphones Additional mono/stereo line output to connect your powered monitor MIDI IN port for real-time remote control of all channels by external MIDI device such as Behringer BCF2000, BCR2000, etc. Standard CAT5e connection delivers power and 16 signals to each Personal Mixers ULTRANET connector to daisy-chain up to forty-eight P16-M mixers for large systems (in conjunction with P16-D) Ultra-low system latency of less than 1 millisecond Powered via external power supply (included) or P16-I / P16-D Mounts easily on a mic stand with the P16-MB mic stand mount (not included) 3-Year Warranty Program* Designed and engineered in Germany https://www.behringer.com/Categories/Behringer/Signal-Processors/In-Ear-Monitoring/P2/p/P0CH4#googtrans(en|en) In-ear monitor amplifier for personal monitor applications Ultra-compact and lightweight design High power and "drummer proof" headphones output XLR and TRS input connector with locking mechanism Level control with power on/off switch Stereo/mono source switch (internal) Runs up to 12 hours on 2 AAA batteries (not included) Battery control with LED indicators Integrated current limit protects your ears and headphone Convenient belt-pack clip included "Built-like-a-tank", impact-resistant metal chassis 3-Year Warranty Program* Designed and engineered in Germany The P16m definitely shows signs of use as I had penned on what each channel was across the bottom panel, but it has always been stored in a shock proof container when on the move.
