  1. [quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1349718075' post='1829583'] Sorted ok? [/quote] Yes sorted and many thanks for your input....
  2. [quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1349703390' post='1829282'] I take it the cabs are lying horizontally? Have you tried them vertically & does it have the same issue? It does seem rather odd. [/quote] tested them again today with a 4x10 as well. Needs the volume up a bit (!) to get the top end /horn to 'show', all very subtle but effective.
  3. [quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1349691266' post='1829055'] Do the cabs have a dial on the side/back? [/quote] yes, the usual dials on each cab... turned full off then full on, the treble only appears to emanate off the right hand speaker.
  4. [quote name='mybass' timestamp='1349643607' post='1828721'] I have both Markbass 2x10 HF and 2x10 Traveller cabs. The HF being a more recent addition, I checked it out on a gig and at home. (Facing the cabinet), when the horn 'level' is turned right around/up, it appears to add more top to the right hand speaker itself but doesn't affect the left hand speaker. The horn itself didn't appear to alter or actually give off extra top. This also occurs with the Traveller cab? Any prognosis appreciated. [/quote] Thanks chaps but........ The actual problem is that the horn does not appear to project the treble/top in either cab (different types of horns I know), it appears to radiate only from the right speaker in both cabs (looking at cab) and definitely not the left speaker. Thats my conundrum.

  6. £3 each includes UK postage TRIBAL TECH ... 'THICK' YES ... 'THE LADDER' SHEMEKIA COPELAND ... 'TALKING TO STRANGERS' SONNY LANDRETH ... 'BLUES ATTACK' JON LORD/HOOCHIE COOCHIE MEN ...

  7. I have an 'Elites' Stainless Steel and an 'Elites' Nickel plated roundwound, both are E string / .100 gauge free but for the postage.........
  8. Found lurking in the string box. A set of GIBSON POW•R•BASS nickel plated steel roundwounds, gauge of .045 / .065 / .085 / .100 The E string packet has written on it "fitted but unused for playing" so it is probable that I decided at the last minute to try another make of strings. There are also spare Gibson A / D / G strings to go with the set £8 for all the seven Gibson strings includes UK postage.
  9. [quote name='mybass' timestamp='1349200625' post='1823233'] Bit of a bass clearout going on sees this bass from my 'workshop' for sale. 4 string fretless with a 5 piece Wenge/Maple (slight figured) neck. Macassar ebony fingerboard. Lovely USA Black Walnut facing on top of a very nice 2 piece mahogany back. Seymour Duncan Humbuckers......volume /tone/balance controls sitting on a top facing (what was that wood?) control plate. 3 large strap holders. 'Tru oil' finish looks very nice on this wood combination. Comes with a dedicated (Warwick) headless bass gig bag. The 'licensed' tuning system was bought as a 'seconds' unit but is in very nice condition. I designed and built this a few years ago and have only ever used it for one gig (in Italy) where it performed great, creating a big sound through a rather large Hartke rig. It has since sat indoors unused. I would be happy to let it go for £750. Mp3 recording is the bass plugged straight into a desk for each pickup and combined pickup sound, no effect/compressor used, so this is not the bass sound through a speaker/amp set up. [/quote] bump

  11. I had problems uploading new pics and found an earlier post about this..... It appears I may have reached my 'quota' allowed of pics etc on Basschat and needed to delete old posts before uploading new information and pics... 1/ Click/open your Basschat name top right 2/ Open 'My Profile' 3/ Open the tab for "Edit My Profile' (on the right) 4/Open 'Manage My Attachments' (on the left) This will (should!) open up all you listed past posts where you can tick the right side boxes and delete any old unwanted posts/pics.
  12. Bit of a bass clearout going on sees this bass from my 'workshop' for sale. This is really a very nice bass, great action and I must say looks pretty good too! 4 string fretless with a 5 piece Wenge/Maple (slight figured) neck. Macassar ebony fingerboard.

  14. [quote name='toneknob' timestamp='1348135148' post='1809702'] Hi, I'm getting increasingly weary of the hum coming from my pickups on my Jazz bass when playing with the volume controls set to different positions. I'm considering upgrading to new pickups, preferably with master volume/blend/tone rather than front vol/back vol/tone. Any recommendations? Or should I be considering a decent shielding job instead? (again recommendations welcome) Thanks! [/quote] www.delano.de Delano have a decent range and blend/tone/volume controls in their wiring... Nordstrand seem to be favoured by many, or Seymour Duncans or Bartolini....
  15. 'Herman'.....top man, thanks for the coffee and markbass cab.and a small PA amp too!
  16. [quote name='herman' timestamp='1347726352' post='1804392'] as the title says, very very clean markbass 102hf 8ohm cab, 400w, im not using the cab now, hence why im putting it up for sale, no trades or offers please, cab is located near worthing, west sussex, £300 cash on collection only.[attachment=118407:markbase sept 056.JPG][attachment=118408:markbase sept 057.JPG] thanks herman.

  17. Thanks all..one company contact made and some cheeky asides about drummers! The screen would be for a guitar cabinet mainly but Matt P's thoughts could be very relevant for smaller gigs with brick wall stage surround (e.g. Farnham Maltings, terrible onstage sound for bands). I recently saw Eric Johnson ion his European tour using a homemade type 'baffle' that looked like a hinged and carpeted screen, so if carpet is good enough for Eric, then I'm sure he has looked at all options available.
  18. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1347309055' post='1799246'] This may be a silly question.... Drummers are loud, put a screen round them and mic them up. they can play like Keith Moon and not drown out everyone else Valve bass amps sound better louder, run them somewhere with screens at the front (and back?) and mic them to get the fully saturated valve guitar sounds. A bass amp... in most cases not so volume dependent.... why not just turn it down? [/quote] The question was for a 'guitar shield'..I would never use a bass one !

  20. [quote name='CHRISDABASS' timestamp='1347288648' post='1798853'] Hi I'll be having a good clearout in the next few days and wondered if anyone would be interested in what i have for sale I'll start the list with the few things i can remember and update as i find more workshop treasure! 1x musicman 4 string pickup! bought new from musicground, Leeds 8 years ago for £60! i was told it was the real deal but who knows? i never installed it and has been sat in a draw all this time! Your's for £25 posted 1x set of Covered jazz bass pickups from my old Yamaha BBG4 Covers are a little worn so £15 posted is fine for these. 1x Stew Mac "Jaws" fret press device! [url="http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Fretting_supplies/Pressing/Jaws_Handheld_Fret_Press/Jaws.html"]http://www.stewmac.c...Press/Jaws.html[/url] this is one very clever tool! it's very easy to use and comes with all the popular radius cauls (7.5, 9, 10, 12, 16) it gives a much more even finish than hammering frets in and doesn't mark or damage the frets like hammering can sometimes do. this setup cost over £150 before shipping and duty / VAT. Yours for £80 posted 1x loaded squire strat scratchplate! white plate with 3 original squire pickups installed. (no pots / knobs included) looks wise, this has seen better days but it all works fine and could be of some use for a project / spares. yours for £20 posted Paypal or bank transfer is fine. i ship first class post or Fedex next day. i will update items as i find them and add pictures too when i get chance Cheers Chris 07974 317284 [/quote] PM'd
  21. Out of interest I was trying to find if there are perspex type guitar speaker noise 'guards' available but no luck. Anyone know where I could get info on them please? These are the clear 'shields' placed in front of speakers, around drum kits etc on stage (and studio) to cut onstage levels from hitting the front row of the punters but allow the player to have their amp settings as per usual.
  22. [quote name='pietruszka' timestamp='1346583932' post='1790745'] Hi all, Regrettably this has to go, its largely surplus to requirements and I'd rather it was getting used by someone. This is by far the best 410 I have ever owned and I'll be sad to see it go, but needs must. It's 800 watts, 8 ohms, and light at 25 kg. It does have a couple of cosmetic marks from use on it but it has been used regularly until I got my 210, but still in great condition for being a few years old, I'd say 8/10. My 'global limit has been exceeded' so I'm not sure how to rectify that other than linking you to pictures.

Pick up preferred in the North East area or I can drive within reasonable distance. £425. Dan [/quote] Good luck..... excellent stand alone cabs or with a 2x10 traveller on top or 15 underneath !
  23. [quote name='mybass' timestamp='1341417012' post='1718682'] Asking price £800 but will consider very close offers..... I need to move this bass on a.s.a.p. Hopefully the mp3 sound sample has attached okay..it is a very straight forward recording into a desk and copied across, no effects or compression. 4 string fretless bass. Bass weighs in at around 6lb 12oz. SINGLE piece Swamp Ash body with 'Tru Oil' finish... 3 piece maple neck wood (some very nice figure/flame) Ebony fingerboard Walnut piece on back of headstock. Schaller 3D bridge black Schaller machine tuners black Seymour Duncan Active Jazz pups with vol/tone/vol/tone The bass was one of two (the other sold) made by me for a shop which has unfortunately been having hard times so this bass has been sitting at home. It is ungigged. The Nut width is almost 40mm The f/board is about 6mm thick and is a compound radius from approx 10" to 16". Side dot 3mm markers on the note ie. on the 'F' 'G' 'A' etc to 24 'note/fret' length. The neck thickness has been left thicker on this bass than normal as I felt the lightness of the Swamp Ash body could do with a little more meatier a neck.....at least it is there to thin down if wanted. No dedicated case for this bass. Please note....I have played mainly fretless bass for many years, designed and built for myself but also for custom orders and I have always used the best parts available as noted here, no cheapo copied parts.....
