It features a selection of preset programmes and can be either speed or sound controlled as well as blackout or flood for each channel as well as global. Easily controlled from on stage this is a cheap and easy way to create some stage lighting effects.

Blackstar Unity U60 bass combo for sale. Compact and lightweight, the 1 x 10" combo features an input attenuator for active basses as well as 3 voices: classic, modern and overdriven. 3 band eq. with sweepable middle and chorus and compression effects. there is also an aux input and an adjustable level line and balanced DI output.

Rated at 60W output this would be great for practice or small venue gigs and can be connected to other Unity Blackstar amp/ speaker to uprate the power output.

great looking bass. I tried one at the sw bass bash recently and would love to get one, shame you're so far away from me 😞

#8 @basstone

Another great Bash and great to see so many there. A big thank you to @scrumpymikeand family and all the others who helped make the day a success and so enjoyable.

This bass will be at the South West Bass Bash on Sunday 9 October if anyone wants to try it out.

Looks like the Stomper control box has 2 bulgin connectors for the cable to the light stands? Is there also a footswitch to control it or just buttons? Are the PAR56 lamps narrow beam?  Thanks

As @Chienmortbbsays, the new cabs are a further development of the original design I published on Basschat. To say 'thanks' to bass players like @basstonewho bought the kits, I'll be make the components (horn and crossover) available at cost to upgrade the technical performance of the BCIII. The upgrade will require a very small amount of jigsawing and the use of a screwdriver, but that's it. For obvious reasons (i.e. this is now a commercial design), I can only supply these components to Basschat members who bought the kit. 

 

I'll make an announcement on the Diary thread next week.

 

See you all on Sunday!

 

 

Thats great news @stevie,I will also be very interested to hear about your 10" cab developments, especially if there is going to be a compact 1 x 10" in the range.

If it is the power section and based upon ICEPower modules, I have a couple I could let you have for a small fee. I agree with @basstoneit is a shame that some companies do not support third party service. I should add that most of the British based amp makers are good. 

I might be interested in your ICEpower modules, especially if they are 125ASX2.

I have been one of @stevie’s Guinea  🐷🐷 and I have to say that these are a few steps on from the DIY designs. No babies were thrown out with the bath water but the tweaks, changes and hundreds of hours spent in development, mean these are special cabinets. They are genuinely hand built with many of the components designed and made in-house. Suffice to say that my BC112 MK3 will soon be retired and repurposed. 

They look great from the pictures on the web site as well. Can't wait to see and hear them on Sunday. I too am a BC112 Mk3 owner/ builder using one of the first batch of cabinet kits so have high expectations! I wonder if there's any possibility of upgrading the DIY design without a total rebuild?

How we doing on bass amps ? Mine packed up last night and it smell of burn components.sad times

What amp is it? I repair amps, my business is Hurst Batch Services based in Wells and I'll be at the bash. Sadly, some modern amps are not repairable by independent repairers due to method of construction and lack of manufacturer support.

Ooh. I'm very tempted Tony. If it hasn't sold will you be bringing it to the bass bash?

Yes I was planning to bring it. The trouble is since I got it out to bring I’m enjoying playing it again!!!!

I passed the pic along to my 'chap' lol

Apparently he tells me that its actually supposed to read 35c, which is a resistance of 22.6 ohms. 

Either way, he says a massive Thank you to those that have helped. 👍

Hopefully I should have a working amp again soon! 🤞🤞🤘

You live and learn! I don't get involved with much SMT but a short google search came up with the  EIA-96 codes which would indicate  that 35C is 226 X 100 or 22.6Kohms as  35 is code for 226 and C is a x100 multiplier. All potentially quite confusing and ambiguous if the markings become worn! Fingers crossed for the repair

Rotosound 88 Trubass strings - cut for 4 in a row 34" 'Fender' style bass. 

 

used exclusively on my p bass for only a few weeks; change in musical direction means that they're not the sound I'm looking for.

 

Price includes delivery to mainland UK addresses.

Hi Paul

Were these used on a fretted or fretless bass? just wondering if there are any fret witness marks on the strings at all and was the bridge standard Fender style, again thinking about where the strings break over the bridge.  Thanks

Photo of mine --hope it helps

 

Will.

R140 looks like 350 ohms from this photo and R141 as already noted on the other side of the board. Worth trying a temporary "breadboard" fix with a standard resistor to see if it all springs back to life?
