    The muting is really very good on this. One of the greats for sure.

    I was a bit surprised too the first time I ordered from them, the item I ordered was in stock in Romford, but came from Cologne. Has anyone had to do a return yet? That could be a major pain if the item has to go back to the EU.

    Bought a Pro Jazz off Lozz today. Great comms, top dude all round. It was my first ever service station gear deal too, it's all down hill from here... 😀

    The GR sounded a bit dull to me and the Tonehammer was a bit mid-prominent. Would a bit of an eq tweak on both have sorted them out though?

    Phew, that’s working the low B string hard.

    Might be granny+eggs, but worth checking with this: https://www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200130/common_projects/43/outbuildings Probably permitted development if none of the criteria apply and there are no local overrides (conservation areas etc.).

    That’s interesting re the rods. It looks like an old-school standard before they added through-body stringing but with a modern reinforced neck. I wonder if they kept it quiet to avoid impacting professional sales? There would be a lot of reasons to not bother with the pro model given the large price difference.
  8. nilebodgers
    The Performer doesn't have them. You need to go Professional and above to get the reinforced neck. The colour is lovely though.

    More pics taken. The pic from the front is powered up so the red LEDs are on and the lit controls are glowing a loverly green 👍 Pic of a driver and horn included pointing my phone through the port - all original Celestion + Fostex. I can now include the flightcase as an optional extra for an additional £25. It's a full touring spec heavy duty 5star case, so very tough and heavy - van users only!

    Nice! GLWTS

    Lol, I do that too. It's not a great technique for hearing the core sound of a demo'd bass.

    This is such a personal thing - I owned an Aria SB700 for many years, but I was never comfortable with the narrow string spacing however much I tried to adapt to it. In contrast, I felt immediately at home on a Fender-spaced bass when I tried one. That's just me though, I'm sure other people have different experiences.

    Trace Elliot 1210H SMX Combo for sale. This is a 1990s model that has the SMX 12-band preamp with valve blend and dual-band compressor. Power amp is the 250-280W Mosfet version. Cab is 4 x 10" with horn and it has a rear slot port which makes the cabinet a little more compact. It is quite heavy though - 49kg I think. Has been serviced and the preamp valve replaced a few years back. All the knobs and sliders are present and condition is very good. It has been hardly used since I got it in around 2003, just stored in a flightcase in my companies warehouse. It sounds huge and punchy, but I'm retiring and downsizing soon so don't want to bring it home and try and get it to my practice space upstairs! It's too heavy to ship, but I can meet up or deliver for petrol money within a reasonable radius of Cambridge when we are allowed out again. The pics aren't great, I can take more if required when I next go to the warehouse. (Note: the flightcase isn't included - I don't own it. If the buyer regularly uses a van it might makes sense and I could see what it would go for (not much probably, may be foc), but the case makes it extremely bulky and heavy so I really wouldn't go there for normal car users. - see later post re. flightcase, I can include it if wanted for a little extra money) REDUCED - now £275.00

    I’ve got a GP12SMX 1210H combo in very good condition that I am sticking in the For Sale section next month when I have taken some better pics. That kind of thing?

    White Pearl obv. (My ratty black jazz was much improved with a white Pearl scratch plate) That looks surprisingly yuk without a scratch plate. Must be something to do with the colour and body shape.
  16. nilebodgers
    Lol. That’s why I made my own - tiny die cast box, one pot, one knob, 2 jack sockets.
  17. nilebodgers
    Enquiring minds want you to take the case lid off and post some pics....👍 (only if you are a curious tinkerer like some of us are of course!)
  18. nilebodgers
    I made one of those for my g**tar amp to stick in the fx loop, it was ear-splittingly loud trying to use the drive channel without it.

    What is the power module in it, another icepower 125asx2?

    I think the best way of getting that module is to buy a Harley Benton Block 800B and throw the rest away. (or keep it for warranty return if you blow it up) (run https://www.bassic.de/threads/der-hb800b-modding-thread.14870766/ through google translate for a very interesting discussion - some mod it, one pulls the rest of the guts out and turns it into a power amp only)

    ooo - I could be in the market for a nice USA Jazz. Watches carefully...
  22. nilebodgers
    I think it'll be fine provided that there is absolutely no compression, high-pass or EQ applied to the recording. There then needs to be various different players contributing as some people are naturally very compressed and even sounding and that would be much more forgiving than someone that was more heavy-handed.

    Yes, for (very) old legacy products like the 125asx2 all the r&d has been recouped, the production is routine as is the testing. Taking a commercial view and then doing them at (say) £125-150 would kill a large amount of the fake sales without impacting on the more premium product sales that no-one can fake (yet). Mind you, keeping them expensive does filter out a lot of clueless users that would be pestering for applications help and electrocuting themselves when they went poking about where they shouldn't. It's going to be a lot less trouble for a manufacturer that only wants to deal with OEMs.

    Good solution. I mixed FOH under similar gazebos many times back in the day. The only snag (assuming you have sides to keep the non-vertical rain out) is that eventually a very fine mist starts to come through the “canvas” so having some poly sheets to cover the electronics is wise.

    You would think Icepower would do a 2 pronged attack of a PR campaign highlighting the quality of the genuine parts (and the likelyhood of the counterfeit parts leaving a smoking crater) alongside making the 125asx2 much more available at a reasonable cost. The counterfeit parts are only attractive because the genuine part is very expensive and also hard to get. There is obviously a demand for the product and they'd probably sell a lot more.
