Hi

Chrome clovers with satin mounting plate. 

Ah shame, I'm after gold ones at the moment. Thanks though and GLWTS

Hi Slug Ice, which colour are these? Cheers

Bump! any one wanna get funky?

Do you know if this is the "clean and clear" or "warm and wooly" version?

Why do you need a power conditioner. As far as I know, they were developed for the USA where supplies were inherently dirtier than here. YMMV.

Because I was bought it a few years back and noticed that it made a difference to the noise in my rig when playing crappy dingy "venues" (aka pubs that think they're a venue) who run extension lead in to extension lead and have sh1te grounding. In fairness, that's also been the case in some other more professional venues too. I'm not in a pro touring band, I'm in an unsigned metal band so we don't have our pick of the creme de la creme venues unfortunately.

Matrix do one but ironically,  although it is class A/B amp, the power supply section is a switch mode power supply.

They're also 6x the top end of my budget! haha

I'm in Bedfordshire mate.

1U space pretty much means Class D only and there are very few available in that size that are any good.

Making another 1U space available gives you a lot more options, and as has been said power conditioners are pretty much irrelevant in the UK where our mains supply is far more reliable and consistent than the US.

That would mean having to buy another case which would likely cost another £50 which I don't have the budget for unfortunately.

Hey everyone

this may seem like a bit of a stupid question, but does any one know if Fender used the same mirrored chrome pickguard (as in same part, cut out, screw hole alignment) for the 2009/10 MIJ Blue Sparkle Precision Bass as they use on the newer MIM West Ham version?

Reason I ask is my bass has been gigged an awful lot and where the body and neck are in near perfect condition (odd dink on the very end of the headstock unfortunately!), the chrome pickguard has the usual swirl marks and scuffs from either where I’ve rested my thumb on the pickup screw or where a pick has caught the guard SO I’m thinking of taking this plate off to put on another P bass and putting a proper replacement one on there to keep it looking clean. 

I don’t use the Blue Sparkle one for gigging any more due to needing a 5 string tuned to A standard and the fact I’m scared to death of it either going walkabouts (seems to be a recent rise in gear thefts) or it getting damaged so I keep it in the case. It also has a lot of sentimental value to me so there’s also that!

any help would be appreciated and again, sorry if it’s a stupid question!

Cheers!

Go 1u more and get a used QSC. Different class in sound and reliability.

If you're lucky you'll pick one up for around £100.

Failing that the original behringer ep range (copies of the qsc) are pretty indestructible.

Both are heavy.

Unfortunately my case only has 1u of space in it as there is a power condition, Marshall JMP-1 and multi-Fx unit in there and it’s a 4u case

Thanks for all your suggestions everyone! I’ve had a couple of messages about potential power amps as well which is quite handy so I’ll be taking those in to consideration. And yeah it was definitely a case of the 2nd hand market for buying one. Ideally I wanted a Marshall VS 8008 but whenever they pop up, it’s always at the wrong time and going for more than what I could budget. 

Again thanks for all the suggestions!

Hey everyone

I'm basically just looking for any pointers here towards any decent, budget friendly 2 channel 1u rack mountable power amps please.

preferably 100w or more per side as it's going to be used to power 2 4x12 cabinets in a doom/stoner rock band. Must be rack mountable, 1u spacing and have 2 channels. 1/4" ins and outs would be preferable too. I have the power conditioner, pre amp, noise gate and multi fx units I want in the rack but need an amplifier for it all now!

Thanks in advance!

I have one of these basses, one of the Made In Japan ones and yeah it's a great bass but £2k? Guys a fool. I paid 1k for mine new and have considered letting it go at times for that same price but to try and get £2k for it is absurd!

Hey everyone

I've got an EMG BTS, the bass & treble preamp but I'm swapping it in to a different bass that already has an EMG stacked mid control and only has one more hole so if anyone has an EMG BTC (the bass/treble stacked pot) that they'd be willing to swap for it, I'll even pay the postage on both items (Royal Mail signed for - £3.90, I'll book the postal order and send you the label).

Must be the solderless/quick connect version but I don't need any of the gubbins (knobs, wires, jack, battery clip etc etc) that come with it (nor will I be sending any of the other bits as it's just going to be a direct swap).

For sake of keeping to the forum rules, sale price is £50 but I'm technically not wanting to sell it unless someone else is selling a BTC for £50 on here.

I'm located in Bedfordshire, if you want to do a stop and swap then by all means cool with me but I don't drive so I can't offer to do the same!

Thanks for reading!

(to save any confusion)

This is what I have:

This is what I'd like in trade:

I want this!! But can't afford it 😔

I feel your pain there, such a great compressor. 

Hello!

I've decided to sell my Morley wah as I'm rarely using it.

Apart from the replacement glow in the dark Grip tape, it's in great condition. I've got velcro strips on the underside but I can take them off if you want.

The original rubber treadle matt was missing when I bought it but I put this glow in the dark skateboard grip tape on so I could see it on dark stages. it does that job perfectly and grips your foot very well. Again though can be taken off if necessary.

SOLD ELSEWHERE

Thanks!

What a great gesture from Rotosound! Fair play to you.

The reason I play bass and reason I got my first set of Rotosounds was Steve Harris. Stuck a set of the SH77 flats on my Epiphone bass and used them for ages. Loved them. Moved back to using round wounds after that and was drawn to use Rotos again because of Geddy Lee & Duff McKagan. 

Just sold a Sansamp Paradriver to Lewis. Absolute pleasure to deal with and a really easy transaction.

Thanks!

The Black Strat got bought for $3,975,000 by the guy who owns the Indianapolis Colts NFL team. He also bought the acoustic that "Wish You Were Here" was recorded on for $900k!

Glad they've not gone to a museum or the bloody Hard Rock vaults.

I sold a TC Flashback Mini delay to James and he's been a real pleasure to deal with. Payment on the dot and all round pleasant transaction. Highly recommended! Enjoy setting that thing to 1/16th notes and being a lazy sod like me  

Hi there

I've recently changed all the hardware on my bass from Black to Chrome/Nickel so instead of these sitting around or me inevitably finding a project bass for the bits, I thought I'd offer them out (even at this moment I'm thinking of a black'd out project bass). Need to re-coup a bit of the money from changing all the hardware (Hipshot stuff wasn't cheap!)

I will say this first, I'm not interested in splitting this lot, I'd rather it gone as one set.

So, the bits I have are as follows:

4 tuners with screws: 2x2 set up, lightweight but smooth and hold tuning very well. 3/8" diameter with standard shape tuning key

1 high mass bridge with screws: Looks a bit like the new Fender Geddy Lee bridge but with standard saddles. Very chunky, plenty of sustain but also plenty of adjustment. Roughly 8x5cm and has standard 5 hole mounting.

4 dome top knurled metal knobs: will only fit split shaft pots

2 strap buttons with screws

I'll upload some pics a little later on. I'm sure someone will find use for them before I do!

£40 plus £5 postage (paypal/bank transfer accepted) or cash on collection from central Bedfordshire is welcome.

Thanks

Is this the power wah boost?

I'm interested in buying it or trading my Cliff Burton tribute wah (by morley) 

let me know please.

From the price and description, I'd say it's the much later black Power Wah

Hey guys

I've recently got this pedal as a present but basically, I prefer something with a normal tap tempo. I will say though, I've been so impressed by this pedal so far that the only reason I'm selling it is to get the full fat Flashback and use it with my tap tempo thing.

There is a story behind it though: Recently TC Electronic & Devin Townsend held a competition for someone to win a pedalboard made up by Devin Townsend. My mate won this competition but gave me the Flashback Mini as a present. So, this pedal has been touched and played by Devin Townsend (if you're in to that sort of thing haha!). This pedal does have it's own "tap tempo" feature but basically, you hold down the foot switch and it picks up the pattern of your playing, adjusting the delay time to fit it. Great idea for on the fly changes! These pedals also feature the extremely tweakable "tone print" which can be changed the usual ways via the USB port or through the weird signal thing it does through your pickups. It's a great pedal if you want a very versatile delay and you don't have much room on your board.

Anyway, I'd like £50 for it as it's basically new and these sell for £70+ new and still appear for £60 on the used market. Obviously there is no box for this pedal but it will be packaged very securely. Postage is £3.90. 

-SOLD-

Have just had a reply, it's a 10k B (Linear) pot so I might set about fixing it tonight if I still have a spare 10k B pot around.

If you have to desolder it anyway, you can make a graph with a pen and a paper and a DMM. The graph shows you the track type. The degree and the resistance...

Typically I don't have a multi meter either! haha. Must get one of those ordered but for future reference, that is great advice, thank you!

I'd be inclined to get back on to Rocktron and mention they were going to send one, but didn't and ask them if it is Log or Linear and where to get one from as you need it fixing. Chances are they might send you one this time.

Yeah I've fired them off another email just asking for info on the pot instead of them giving me a replacement. Hoping for a quick reply though as I'm hoping to use it in my live rig again from July onwards (as it is actually a very good noise gate but cheap pots detract from it!) so yeah, want it sorted haha!

I couldn't see one similar by Vishay when i googled it unfortunately. Thing is, I don't know if this one is Log or Linear either.

Hello!

I've had a Rocktron IICX noise gate that I haven't used for years but I've decided to put in my live rig again. Only problem is one of the potentiometers broke and Rocktron offered to send out a new pot but never actually did it. basically the shaft got broken off of the VR3 Threshold control so it's a bit important to fix! haha

Anyway, I know the pot's value, it's a 10k pot but I've never seen this type of pot before and can't find anything similar. it's marked with "10k 903" on the top which I've tried googling but to no avail.

I'll attach a photo to the end of the post in the hope someone more technically minded knows what sort of pot it is and where I can get a replacement one.

Thanks in advance!

*edit* Have just had a reply, it's a 10k B (Linear) pot so I might set about fixing it tonight if I still have a spare 10k B pot around.
