Kay Pedulla 1970s Neck Through Bass
Happy Jack replied to eubassix's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Dan, if you do an eBay search for "Kay bass" and then check (under 'Advanced') Completed Items, you can see how much every Kay bass sold on eBay recently went for. It will quickly be apparent that the only ones that break through £200 are the ones that qualify as Rickenfakers. Most commonly, Kay Jazz basses and similar stick at around the £150 mark. -
Gator 6U rolling rack case

No longer in use and taking up too much space, this now needs to go hence the very low price. It's a Gator case. What else am I supposed to show you? It has handles. And wheels. Don't forget the wheels. Not only does it have a front, but it has a back too. And you can put racky-type things in it. I suppose it could be posted (at the buyer's risk) by taping it closed at both ends and sticking a label on it - I've done it before, successfully - but realistically this makes more sense as a collection jobbie, or maybe meet for a pint.

Very decent piece of rack gear, equally suitable for studio or live use (I've used it both ways). The two multi-way cable clips on top are there by self-adhesive stuff and will remove. I found them useful enough to choose to leave them there for the new owner. The original box is present, as seen in the photos, but not the polystyrene inserts. I'll use bubble wrap for postage. Original spec: https://www.behringer.com/product.html?modelCode=0602-AAI

Little used since Covid, probably time to move this on. Yes, I do realise that these cost £800 new. Yes, I do know that £300 is laughably cheap. Dimensions (w x h x d): 120 x 10 x 80 cm, 47,2“ x 3,9“ x 31,5“ Weight: 21,5 kg, 47,4 lbs I'm also aware that Bass Direct do not have these in stock, and that they're getting quite hard to find. The Bass Direct blurb runs: Bass players, Keyboard players and DJ’s using In-Ear systems on stage suffer from lacking punch and sub frequencies which prevent them from controlling their playing. How do I sound out there? Am I always tight with the drummer? I can’t hear myself! Most of you might be familiar with this …The BassBoard is the ideal subwoofer floor for stages, studio, rehearsal room or even bedroom. Two TS300 transducers moving the bass into your body. A great experience many musician are not willing to do without any longer. Feeling your instrument and what you play has never been as intense before. The additional phones out and the vibration-proof suspension of the base plate let you rehearse at home late at night without bothering your neighbours. This is a big, heavy thing that doesn't fit any 'normal' size of cardboard box. The knock-down price is for collection from Harrow HA1, or will met within a 30-min drive for a pint.

I found that asking Google "What's bigger than an Elf?" was really, really unhelpful.

My Mystery Bass. Still no results so posting again.
Happy Jack replied to Andy in Wales's topic in Bass Guitars
Surprised that the vendor now wants £400 for a bass with such a shocking defret job. That bass needs at least a couple of hundred quid spent on it before it would even pass a basic hygiene test.- 13 replies

Band Mule: A calendar app for bands Anyone using it?
Happy Jack replied to Phil Starr's topic in General Discussion
I'm using Timetree but most of the musos I play with are technophobes so actually it's only me using it. I've had problems with shared Google calendars, because of course you have to log out of your own Google account in order to access them. At least, that's how it used to work. -
A decent sack-truck combined with a couple of removal blankets and some bungees is surprisingly effective. The Bass Buggy works well indoors, and on smooth concrete on tarmac, but easily loses stability if the ground is at all unevenand can set up an oscillation which is very hard to control once it starts. The sack truck seems to be a bit more faff to get the bass on there (having two pairs of hands helps - a lot), but attaching the Bass Buggy is one of the least intuitive experiences I've ever had. The sack truck also has many other practical uses for the gigging bass player, of course, and everyone should have a box of cheap removal blankets knocking around, if only to cover the gear in the back of your car. You could try one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rackit-Trolley-Folding-Lightweight-Aluminium/dp/B08XW173YY/ref=rvi_d_sccl_9/262-5107001-7827225?pd_rd_w=JbAW3&content-id=amzn1.sym.d56e60fb-87bc-405a-a95d-c5e322a9b3d9&pf_rd_p=d56e60fb-87bc-405a-a95d-c5e322a9b3d9&pf_rd_r=19P23PA9K4KGDR9DBGZ1&pd_rd_wg=u4s8W&pd_rd_r=843de221-6845-4bcf-a684-58a17b01f14b&pd_rd_i=B08XW173YY&psc=1 https://www.diy.com/departments/5-x-strong-large-200cmx150cm-protective-premium-furniture-removal-blankets/5056330390811_BQ.prd?srsltid=AfmBOopublPfoTs6QLef5ghXKdo77W49tLje8mkmqkF95a1FwC2TKlpHUe4

It's not always clear what causes tinnitus, but it's often linked to: * some form of hearing loss * Ménière's disease * conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders or multiple sclerosis * anxiety or depression * taking certain medicines – tinnitus can be a side effect of some chemotherapy medicines, antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and aspirin Yup, got al that but sadly/luckily none of that applies to me. Unless I'm anxious about my tinnitus, of course.

I thought about doing that too, Si. You can have that effect on people. 💋

Mine is about 20 cents below Ab, which is about as useless as it gets.
-
Hearing loss, yes. Tinnitus? Really?

Had it for many years (loud motorbikes, not huge bass cabs I'm afraid) and I too have recently noticed it getting significantly worse. I find it harder and harder to pick out a conversation against any sort of background noise, whether that's in real life or when watching a TV program ... I live much of my life with subtitles. 🙄 It's not debilitating, and it hardly compares with the issues that some of my friends and family are dealing with (cancer, heart attack, etc.), but it's bloody irritating and also depressing to find that there is no cure, no treatment (that works), and no real likelihood of one during my lifetime.

@seashell - this is all your fault, of course. 😂

It's more like Herfner. Just pretend they're a Geordie company ...

A drummer friend of mine has asked me to post this ad on his behalf. He's a grown-up, serious guy, plenty of real-world gigging experience, based in Uxbridge. I am looking for a bass player with lead vocals ability for a prog rock/non mainstream project. Not essential for lead vocals but would be useful. https://on.soundcloud.com/OUmD6Q7tX9jf8rLmV5 Email for music related correspondence is: [email protected] 07718 536831
