For sale only. SR Technology Bass Fidelity 12 combo (400 Watts) with original cover and manual. Similar to the Schertler Bass Fidelity 12 as they bought SR Technology (Italian brand) some years ago. Terrific and powerful combo (no extension cab) in the same league as a MarkBass Alain Caron 121 Lite combo and very similar to an AER BassCube first generation in the construction (pots on a card, no fan, class D power amp, complete ins and outs, ...). Can be used with electric bass, electro-acoustic bass, EUB or amplified double bass. In fact, you can even use a piezo directly as there are balanced and unbalanced inputs with an impedance matching knob called "BBsH". I'm selling it because I don't use it anymore. Here is the description : BASS FIDELITY 12 Woofer : 12" HF speaker : 2x Compression Tweeter Box : 2 Way Bass Reflex Max Power Out : 400W RMS Frequency Resp. : 45Hz-15kHz Sensitivity (1W-1m) : 99dB Crossover : 3.5kHz Preamp : Transistor Weight : 20kg Dimensions : 58x38x41cm Asking price including shipping fully insured with tracking number to your place in these European countries (ask for other countries) : Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France (excluding French overseas departments and territories), Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom : £350 GBP !!! In fully working condition, even the blue retro lighted logo is working. Non-smoking environment as usual. Link to a video of the 2 x10 combo : What you see is what you get. Look at the photos to see the real condition : some marks, due to the age, but nothing compromising the sound. Don't hesitate to ask for more.

Finally starting to fall to pieces .... sort of

Harry, forget the GruvGear Duo Strap, I've met you and, like me, you have large shoulders and are tall. Even with the longer Duo Strap to its maximum length, you'll be playing with the bass right under your chin. I bought one and gave it to a friend on the very next day. Furthermore it won't balance the weight at all as you have a serious scoliosis, just like me, minus my other back injuries (66% crippled because of that. Some days I can hardly move)... The strap made by @solo4652 is way far better. When I see my rheumatologist, 3 or 4 times a year, he always looks at my scoliosis saying : Ah yes, it's the young man who makes you dizzy when you look at his back. 🤣 By the way, I'm 54 years old with a completely destroyed back due to a severe car crash in 2009 while making my job as a medical advisor... Concerning scoliosis, we all have one, because we all have a shorter leg. You can live with it without any problem, but being a bassist and having something too heavy on one shoulder will severely exacerbate this scoliosis. Are there solutions? Yes! The obvious one is correcting your posture with adapted exercices and wearing an orthopedic insole to compensate for that spine deviation originated way down under. Making some fitness is certainly a good idea, just like what @Happy Jack is explaining in his video. Avoid classical medication or start looking for a new liver... Playing sitting without any strap is also a very good idea, and using a foot rest with the bass between your legs will release the tensions on the back. If you also have too powerful muscles pulling on your spine, working on your posture is the first thing to do (it's my main problem linked to my heavy scoliosis). Going light is simply mandatory if you still want to play standing. If you decide to make some sport(s), don't run as you'll finish the work and end up in a wheel chair. Swimming or nordic walking are the best choices, but just walking is already very good. Cycling is good too, but not on a Dutch bike as you'll compress your spine disks by the wrong posture (ultra straight vertical spine). So a standard non Dutch bike is best, because leaning forward will release the spine disks pressure. Also avoid all schocks on your spine and remember that your car is your enemy. And go see a nutritionist as food is important too. PM or WhatsApp me if you want more information. -
Need to watch the film again, now. 🤣

Terrific album indeed by a terrific underrated electric bass player. The first electric bass player, in fact : always musical and so complex sometimes. Wes was great, but we too often forget Monk and Buddy who were great musicians too. Right place, wrong time.

Sorry @Frank Blank, I don't get it.

Ok, fine and what about Percy Jones and Jeff Beck... They both were there, with an impressive technique, at the same time and even before Jaco Pastorius and Jimi Hendrix. Q : Why don't they get the recognition they diserve ? A : They have no "tricks" to appeal people, they just make music ! Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Jimi Hendrix, just like I do love Jaco Pastorius when he's playing bass and not demonstrating. And yes there is an after Jimi Hendrix, Jaco Pastorius, Miles Davis or Esbjörn Svensson. They were milestones for sure.
-
The only thing that bothers me with Jaco Pastorius is that it's his eccentricity that has always been rewarded and also the fact that he was a great soloist. Some musicians tend to forget that the more discreet Percy Jones did also a terrific job on the fretless bass the way a fretless bass can be used with a different approach, and he also was a very early pioneer, a few years before Jaco Pastorius in fact. Like already said I like Jaco when he's playing with Joni Mitchell because he's playing bass and not trying to over demonstrate what he was able to do. I started fretless bass thanks to Percy Jones and Mick Karn, not Jaco Pastorius...
-
And also avoiding electric shocks, which is not a joke at all.

Funny as nobody answered your question. So yes, you have no noise at all with a (decent) wireless due to the isolation as you are not directly connected, so avoiding earth loops, which is often the origin of these buzzes. Now back to comments about quality of wireless. 😉

It also has a narrow strings spacing, 16.5 mm, IIRC. This could be a problem, just like the machine heads which are a bit odd. I've been playing an early Cort B4 FL as a semi-pro for a few years (oops, just realised it was 20 years ago), and it was a really good bass. I alway got compliments about the sound I had, and sometimes on my playing. 😁
