    [quote name='mybass' post='980773' date='Oct 7 2010, 05:48 PM']£20 Used. FORGOT TO ADD THAT THE PRICE INCLUDES UK POSTAGE. 2+2 as in 2 per side of headstock A second hand full set of Black Schaller tuners, M4s with all retainer screws and washer and top nut. From my old fretless of many gigs. They can obviously be used for a project or painted up as an "as new set" as they worked absolutely fine. You can see in the pics that there are paint chips. The nut hole into the headstock circumference/width is almost 12mm, close to 1/2 inch. I think these are going at £55/60 new a set, correct me there if I'm incorrect.[/quote]

    [quote name='tombboy' post='978132' date='Oct 5 2010, 11:29 AM']Thanks mate. Injury happened over 15 years ago. CNS rupture to my right ulnar co-lateral ligament or 'Goalkeeper's thumb' as it is known. Basically, if I pick play or anchor my thumb for finger style the whole hand swells up and goes numb. I was told that surgery to correct it wouldn't make any difference, due to the age of the injury... indded, it might be worse afterwards. [/quote] you are getting lots of advicce, hope you don't mind a thought .. Here is a site fro something different, maybe it can help at least with helping play other instruments.

    [quote name='mybass' post='971045' date='Sep 28 2010, 07:23 PM']Selling AS A PAIR £40 Fantastic sounding jazz replacement pickups, loud and 99.99% noiseless. I bought these umpteen years ago and they were and still are LOUD. Powered by a single 9v battery. They easily answered back to drummers and large stack guitarists, marvellous! These were the first type of SDs switcheable Jazz pickups with a very high output. They were later replaced with another 3 switch mark 2 version but with less output. (I still have a set on another bass). They were then replaced with the 2 switch model but I don't think these are made anymore. This particular set was on one of my own built fretless basses for years so are marked and the underside wiring will need to be extended in length to reach the control cavity, so a bit of work needed with a solder iron. I would set these at a slightly less height to string than normal. The switches I think are great as you can easily cut that bit of "boom in the room" bottom end or add that little bit of top to the sound etc. I also have the original wiring diagram with all the pickup specifications and blurb.[/quote] Bump

    [quote name='jayblaze' post='982770' date='Oct 9 2010, 06:08 PM']i read somewhere that if you soak your strings in methylated spirits they come out like new. i tried it today with purple meths.... i soaked my strings in a jam jar in meths for 20 mins, took them out and wiped them off. dryed them with a hairdryer and hey presto they sound good as new. a good money saving tip [/quote] Alcohol from a chemists is v good too. Boil them in water too, a few minutes, dry them out and there you go.

    [quote name='urbanx' post='859745' date='Jun 7 2010, 12:29 PM']Hey, I know this has been bought up before, but it’s a re-occurring problem. We have a gig on Sunday, four bands, we’re on third. I’ve been asked to bring all my gear to share, because [i]“One of the bands has a guitar amp” [/i] WTF!! So among the other SIX guitarists, and THREE Bassists only ONE of them can bring their amp!! How do they practise? I have lent my amp out once before. And it got broken. Not dented or scratched. Fried. Not sure what they put in it, but it completely killed two Hartke 210XL’s and my Hartke HA3500 Head. I went out the next day and had to buy all of my gear again. £887. I lent it to two bands, so first band said “It was working when we used it” and second band said “wasn’t working when we used it”. Thus both avoiding blame. I really don’t want to bring my nice amp on Sunday now. But then again it kills me to have all this nice gear sitting at home, and here I am considering buying a crappy amp just to lend out at gigs. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I’m going out my mind here![/quote] Be nice but say no, you have suffered, at your own financial cost, the breakdown of your equipment becuase you have lent it out before and had it returned damaged. You can also charge, say £10 per band?

    [quote name='Slipperydick' post='978831' date='Oct 5 2010, 09:12 PM']I stopped repairing amps for a living about 17 years ago. put a lot of old and new valves on ebay last winter and I was amazed at how much they went for, 12AU7 (ECC82) wasnt really a popular audio valve, more common in TV sets, but audiophile Hi Fi freaks from all over the world were even buying old untested second hand ones that I used to buy new for about £2.50. Real anoracks go on about the shapes of the getters and things like that, as if it really makes a difference that they can hear. £12-16 each is about fair I reckon if there new and branded.[/quote] Thanks for the info on those, I really am outa touch with this stuff. I've priced them to move them out of the box in the garage and I guess ebay may have conjured up a dazzling price. I sometimes figure its easier through Basschat, hopefully someone gets a good deal.

    SOLD A few years back, touring with my Aguilar pre amp, I had a set of spare valves. At the end of the tour, these valves went "missing", presumed lost in transit. A couple of years later, roadie off the tour presented me with this particular set of valves which I don't think where ever the correct ones for the Aguilar and since the Aguilar was sold a few years ago, have been in storage since. I'll shift them at a reasonable price, which I don't know what it should be per valve because I just am not up on the valve price. The 12 au7 seems to go for between £8 to £25. What should I ask? If anyone has use of them and wants to spend £16 (plus postage) for the 4, I'll post them off. Hopefully there wouldn't be any problems with them and I have no way of testing them but if a Basschatter buys them and finds a faulty one, I can sort re-payment per valve. Anyone capable to advise me on the prices, please do.

    [quote name='mybass' post='972282' date='Sep 30 2010, 01:26 AM']£5 Includes UK postage. Ongoing clearout of stuff.... This is a spacer "bar" for a Schaller 4 string (bass) bridge in black. Unused as far as I can tell and 3mm thick (I have a few and the others have been used) . Sits neatly under the bridge, can add a bit of "weight" to the bridge structure (and yes, I know that can start a discussion for weight versus sound etc.!) but it does agood job for helping the string height on some instruments. (I think it can cost about £9/10 shipped from a shop normally). You can send a cheque or PayPal as a gift to me.[/quote] BUMP

    THE NEW TCT AND BOOST ARE SOLD AND THE USED TCT IS NOW SOLD SUBJECT TO THE USUAL PAYMENT ETC.... I have two Bartolini TCT units. (bass/mid/treble) on board EQ. They need a single battery each to run. One is used @£15 from an old bass of mine. The other "newer" one @£25 (picture shows a "nameplate" under the unit) is unused sold as new. There is also a Narrow Band Boost @£5 that my note says it was for use with this later version but I never used it, sold as new. I used Bartolini EQs for many years and found them to be effective and not over the top onboard EQ systems. I am sure I have some old wiring diagrams for these EQs.

    [quote name='thisnameistaken' post='957883' date='Sep 16 2010, 12:15 AM']It's a lovely looker. My only worry would be that disassembling it regularly would stress the crap out of the strings.[/quote] Maybe not . I've found strings (good ones) don't mind being "un" tuned, it is a quick trick on a gig (electric bass) if strings sound dull to detune them a few tones, snap them a few times then retune. Seems to brighten them up a bit, enough for the gig. Maybe the longer scale double bass strings would be the same? What a great idea though as some of the travel basses don't really look that great and this Chadwick seems to have been really well thought through.

    [quote name='gafbass02' post='934568' date='Aug 24 2010, 11:01 AM']What DI boxes should I be looking at? I already have the hartke vxl but I'm thinking about something small, simple and good no tone shaping or drive etc but better than the di on my lm2. How do people find the ART and Samson boxes? And as I play passive basses do I have to have an active di box? I don't like the Idea of relying on batteries. I'm sure I could use my zoom 9.1 but the di lead would then be trailing across the stage. I just don't always trust those knackered old £20 behringers that seem to get slapped on top of my amp at so many gigs.[/quote] I am using the Mark Bass DI unit and very happy with it too. It is passive and many sound engineers in live and studio situ have commented on the positive way the unit works.

    [quote name='spongebob' post='955173' date='Sep 13 2010, 06:37 PM']Thanks all. I contacted MB, who gave me Proels details. They did seem pretty inept - they didn't actually know it has a 2 year warranty.....so it is still under gurantee! However, I have to contact the shop where I bought it, who have to contact Proel, who then give the shop a returns number which they give to me.....and then I have to somehow ship the cab to Proel for repair! Worse thing is, they (Proel, the UK importer) have a chap who comes in twice a week - and apprantly, there's a large backlog so they don't know how long it will take! I couldn't believe waht I was hearing. TBH, I've found a place locally, in Maidstone, and I may take it there. I need it fixed ASAP, and the hasssle involved with the warranty just seems like a major pain......and a major wait![/quote] Good stuff it is in warranty then. Proel market a lot of other stuff alongside MarkBass so the twice a week engineer likely has a big workload. Also, I would of thought which ever shop you bought it from should have told you there was a 2 year warranty.
