  1. Duel cabs is another nice way to brighten up the stock cabs if you feel they are to dark, the 810 with a guitar cab high passed and blended in to taste works well. Got some really clear yet big tones from the 810 blended with the 1x8 guitar cab on there. It's quite DSP hungry and you have to stick a mono block of some kind after so it may not suit everyone's patches. Ownhammers Ampeg pack has the clearest and brightest ir'sI've used, not free but really good eq'd and not eq'd cabs with different mic mixes.
  2. I see what you mean about the optical illusion! And yeah was pleasantly surprised by the finish and in particular the grain when i got it. I think its quite likely i will go back for a 4 string version at some point soon.
  3. Got this new a few months back for a one off gig i was doing where i needed a 5 and being a sandberg player for the most part and not wanting to part with loads of money i thought this was a good option as its very much based on a Sandberg VM, i didnt expect much to be honest but had heard good things. But I have to say this thing is absolutely fantastic for the money, the neck is lovely, its comfortable to play and there's a couple of really nice features in the Zero Fret and Sting through body, pickups are pretty nice too. I would say the only thing that has not blown me away is the pre amp but when you consider this is a £320 bass its still not that bad. Anyway i dont need a 5 anymore now that gigs over so i may as well see if anyone fancies trying one of these. I still have the shipping box so will ship. No issues that i can see with it, looks in the same shape it was from the shop with the exception of a missing volume knob, i managed to loose that some how and have not been able to find it around the house/studio but its a generic chrome knob so cheap to replace, the pot is fine, it wasnt knocked off the screw was loose and i kept forgetting to tighten it. Update - knob found and reunited. Price includes shipping or will take £25 off if collected.
  4. Just to confirm the condition, it is basically a new one, i picked it up in a part ex with Bass Direct and decided i didn't need it, its less than a week old, only left the house for a trip to the post office.
  5. The A/O is boxed and in very good condition, no Velcro. - £175 The X is virtually new, perfect condition, boxed, no Velcro. - £165 SOLD Prices include shipping. Pictures to follow....
  6. I picked up one of the new x ultra pedals in a part x but I don't need it. Its brand new from the shop and I've only opened the box to take the picture Price includes UK shipping.

  8. Pictures added, as i said in the listing the grill's not in great shape, i couldn't tell you whats caused it as it wasn't mentioned in the listing when i bought it but its just cosmetic and the speakers are in perfect shape.
  9. £700 I don't really want to do this but I'm finding it harder and harder finding opportunities to actually use this. This is an astonishingly good powered cab, 3 10 inch drivers a lovely smooth horn and a 1000 watt class D power amp with switchable DSP, with the DSP out it's just like a standard cab switched in its eq'd near flat with some nice compression and it sound immense. Unbelievably loud cab too. Ive only ever paired it with a helix but I would imagine it will sound great with any preamp and the numerous reviews out there suggest as much. Cosmetically it's pretty good, the covering is a little fluffy in places and the plastic corners have definitely seen some action but the most obvious issue is the grill (see pictures) would need some attention if you want it looking perfect. All works fine with a very light crackle on the volume pot around the midway point, never caused me any issues as I leave it up full and control the volume on the helix anyway. It has 4 small holes in the bottom which are designed for castors to be added if weight is an issue and I have the padded berg cover too. Would prefer collection but would ship at buyers expense, don't have the box but can sort something I'm sure. Will get pics up later.
  10. Now £350 Selling my Matt Freeman P Bass, as is often said about these its a lovely looking and feeling bass. I recently upgraded the wiring and pots with a Klogon kit which was a nice improvement from stock and i replaced the pickup with a set of Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders, i also put a set of Jim Dunlop strap locks on it which will be included. The bass is in good condition with some light scratches on the pick guard as you would expect and there is a slight chip under the strap lock that happened when i replaced them unfortunately. Comes with a Proel soft case
  11. All my basses are set up like this, there's no real issues or anything to be concerned about, the only thing that isn't easily reversible and a little tricky is adjusting the nut but i've got pretty handy at this over the last few years, i have a set of files for the right gauges i use. On the rare occasions ive needed standard tuning ive actually not had a problem using the nuts ive widened but really if you go back it would be better to change the nut as you could run into some rattling issues. As you say pups are pups and preamps are preamps, and there's no risk to the neck so go for it.
  12. £850 Loving the Helix since i switched over to it from my board and amps but i think i would have preferred the rack version, so this is up for sale or on the off chance anyone has the Rack and is thinking the opposite let me know, would be interested in working out a trade. This one is only a few months old, in perfect condition with the box and all documentation and i have a Thon hard case for it which it has lived in since day 1. Cheers Pics to follow
  13. -18 is a good starting point, you can boost or cut them to taste of course, there isn't really a right or wrong but this may help explain why they are -18 as a default. https://line6.com/support/topic/21473-impulse-response-18db/
  14. Selling my SVT-CL, glorious sounding amp but ive started using a Helix and it not getting any use now. I bought this last year on here from Normski who had recently had it serviced and revalved, all works flawlessly and come with padded cover and good quality speaker lead. Few scuffs in the Tolex. This is a US Built one and the serial number puts it at Feb 2007 which would make it one of teh last ones built in the US before manufacturing moved. I'm looking to move this fairly fast so am only asking for £700 collected from Essex. Cheers

  17. Not needing this anymore, comes boxed but doesnt have the pedal tape it comes with any more but easy enough to replace. £45 shipped Its this one - https://www.gak.co.uk/en/mono-pedalboard-lite-black/919817?gclid=Cj0KCQiAi57gBRDqARIsABhDSMpg8da9QSfjQibSwPQRpgdZkNfez86cOuwuazaNcg_Y2K7yJuHlIyoaAhoWEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds True Tone 1 spot also for sale. £12 shipped £50 the pair shipped
  18. Let me have a look in half hour when I'm home, I usually keep receipts so should have it somewhere yeah.
  19. No probs, I'm away this weekend (which is annoying as my helix floor is being delivered today) but il get something up next week. Simply put though it's do a crossover split, comp the lows with the same settings the x uses, run the highs into an Obsidian set pretty flat and drop some eq's in either path to account for how I set the filters on the x. When I A/B against how I have the x set up I can't here any real difference on headphones or monitors but I don't know if it could nail every setting that pedal can do, its an awesome little thing!
