This is also now up on EBay… I have a spare Electrovoice speaker purchased ‘as new’ recone a few years ago and never used in my EV SX 200 PA. Unused. I found out actually that it was for the SX100+ series (this is info given to me for this model number when I called EVs U.K. office) but I think it’s pretty much a ‘standard’ fit for the EV SX range. The 200watts is nominal it seems in the EV SX range but I believe they all peak at 800 watts if and when those peaks are hit. Collection (and testing) is great but it’s already boxed ready to go…..talk about post/courier if you are interested. -
As I said, ‘it should in theory work’ and happily yours did. My own experience with a so called lost package was quite different and only after a huge amount of phone calling did I find out where my music goods were, literally a mile from the sellers house in the couriers own warehouse and I suspect, it would have stayed there had I not persevered. Parcel2go at that time we’re not great to deal with. I’m sure a major percentage of our Basschat colleagues have no problems but it might be worth checking.

I would be aware that unless dealing direct with a courier, dealing through a company like parcel2go is a little precarious…..they show all the different couriers on their own website and there are some great deals but, go into insuring and if anything goes amiss, you will be probably not be dealt with by them ( ie Parcel2Go or whoever) but you’ll have to start contacting the courier you chose. It should in theory work!

I prefer these Miller heads to the regular heads…the eq seems tuned better (for me) and the old school and Miller effect have their uses…grab a foot pedal to switch eq “channels” and I think you’d be happy with it.

SOLD… I added this sound clip from a recent recording of mine (onto Logic Pro X) when I was trying the pickups out recently...It is on a newly finished bass of mine, a four string bass with this actual single Nordy "P" pickup. Swamp ash body, maple neck and ebony fingerboard, D'Addario Nickel wound strings. I've played a simple riff across the strings testing the pickup with the different 'switching' tones from a Stellartone 6 (from Bass Direct), so you will hear different tones coming off the Stellartone. The pickup is even and as 'woody' as I'd think anyone needs from a 'P' pickup. A ‘pair’ of Nordstrands…P bass pickups as new in the box. I literally tested them on a new bass and they are really very good, never gigged…but I’ve gone with another make for this particular bass…..all in top condition…no screws. These obviously fit any 4 string width with ease. Bought new @ £115 . My price here includes U.K. signed for posting 1st class by Post Office ( the PO site says includes£50 insured cover, message if you need to review this). Bass Stellartone Triple 6 NORDSTRAND .mp3 -

Doh! -
From what I’ve read over the years, some of these bassists where in the right place at the right time and made the right notes and feel work….they also did so many sessions, either per week or per day, that who played on what became a little ‘foggy’ as not all sessions were completely catalogued.

Good news for the new set and service from Ernie Ball..

I picked up a Phil Jones ‘Earbox’ for my acoustic bass gigs )or gigs with a low volume requirement !). It’s a no ohms load on the amp and puts a bit of your bass closer to you on a stand. Hope this pastes okay… https://philjonesbass.net/cms/index.php/product-eb-001/

Maybe try micro mesh…..(hope this pastes up) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/333641208471?hash=item4dae90d297:g:JBkAAOSwMmBVwRtd These sheets can be bought separately or as a ‘set, starting at 1500 ‘grit’. Used for polishing up wood after final sand paper use and before oiling. This 1500 sheet is not sand paper as such so there shouldn’t be any residue problem, unlike steel wool that will break off and small bits will go everywhere if you aren’t careful and gather around the magnetic pickups….strange idea that but I guess the ‘techs’ meant for you to take the strings off. I say send the strings back to them for an exchange. I did this with D’Addario, on their request, many years ago when they introduced half wounds strings and about the third set I used was ‘dead’ on arrival. I did the usual wash with surgical spirit on a cloth and tons of mini filings came off the strings. They simply hadn’t been washed off at the factory after being ground down.

EBay initiated their global post service a few years ago, fairly unannounced which at the time had me and my buyer caught off guard as they lost the parcel somewhere in their new midlands warehouse but..... I got to keep my money and the seller was reimbursed and someone got a free MarkBass LMK! The whole courier business has altered it seems in recent times and I’ve had a 50% success rate of my full wine and beer deliveries coming through in one delivery, not over a few days after I’ve contacted the supplier who have twice said ‘courier problems’.

If anyone sees a white TKS112 for sale... it's pinched.
mybass replied to warwickhunt's topic in General Discussion
You paid for post/ courier and the seller gave it over to someone at the door...hmmmmm? I assumed you’ve checked the sellers feedback on previous stuff.....next to try and find the phone number ( damned difficult) for an EBay operator and go through the whole thing.....this may help them to track or trace any unusual correspondence to and from this seller.......sorry to hear about this ordeal and loss of the cab, total let down for you. Could it be that Ebay just ‘may’ reimburse you if proved their system was at fault.....not a great way to spend Sunday! Good luck. -
Fall I know from an ‘expert’ friend is the software is buried in different areas of the computer and although you may think you’ve erased it, the prog still sits in various ‘places’ onboard...
-
Ask the seller if you could arrange a courier to collect it from the sellers house......unless of course they are asking for cash on collection...which is what I had encountered last week.

It should weigh 16 kg according to www.markbass.it

Studiospares Speaker Isolation Riser - bargain?
mybass replied to casapete's topic in Accessories and Misc
Studiospares stuff is pretty good.....this is a good price...seems pretty wide for a bass cab and more for a combo 7nit but at that price a bit of a bargain. -
Yes’m, it should normally be a ‘yellow orangy’ speaker colour....it’s a shame but is there any chance of trying it against a correctly loaded MB combo.....you may prefer the sound of what you’ve got!
-
I practice them as ‘studies’ on electric bass as my DB arco playing is not up to scratch so it’s more an exercise to keep my sight reading going.

This is 1 2 and 3........4 5 6 are in n another book.....

Break Wind and Fire....best I’ve ever seen and some 25years ago before tributes were called tribute bands.

After a bass heavy set of headphones, whats good?
mybass replied to shoulderpet's topic in Accessories and Misc
Try KRK KNS 8400....got mine for just under £100 online. They have an inline volume contro; as well... They are good for listening to music and for home recording but I can't evaluate if they would be 'bass heavy' enough for you. -
I was advised many years ago by a double bass builder/repairer to use ‘bore oil’ for my maccasar ebony f/b, an oil I still use today. I may use it once or twice a year. I buy Yamaha Bore oil, dab some on a cloth and apply and wipe off any excess. Once on tour I asked the hired German guitar tech to simply wipe clean my bass with a dry cloth. He ignored both me and the guitarist and ‘cleaned’ our guitars every night with the new wonder called Lemon Oil. It saturated the boards, softened the graphite nut on the strat allowing the strings to literally melt into it, leaked over to the bridge s via the strings and this idiot was adamant that it was okay! I have to say that it’s been a good advertising campaign getting players to believe that Lemon oil is ‘the business’!

Can’t say I do Mike, long times ago 🤪 Trademe is NZs equivalent of EBay.

You did right sending it back .... sounds to me like a ‘dud’.

Difficult to tell from your pic where the split is.....does it follow the wood grain direction or where there is an obvious glue joint of wood. I would take the machine off anyway and see if it’s just the small screw ( that holds it in place so it won’t swivel about) that is causing a slight surface crack or if the crack is deeper and emanating from the tuner post.
