  1. I had exactly the same problem finding a switch knob for my Stingray 5 a few months ago and ended up buying several until finding one that fitted. Finally ended up with this one - here  - Although it says its for a Strat it looks the same as the Stingray knob. From memory the shaft size on the switch is 5mm wide and so the 4.7mm slot which they specify fits a treat.

  2. Maplin sell a socket terminal - here

    As BassBunny has said the best bet will be to extract the pins from the connector housing and make up a new wire lead. The pins are held in place with a small latch and if you use something like the end of an unfolded paperclip to push on the latch the pin can then be extracted. 

    This is the approach I've used many times in the past and it's worked a treat.

  3. Sold a bass to Stuart. Nice easy deal, met up to complete the transaction. Good comms throughout the whole time and a pleasure to do business with. Welcome back any time.

    Thanks Stuart and hope you enjoy the bass.

  4. Just bought a midi unit off Cal. Nice smooth transaction, just like you want it to be and the item was received promptly. An asset to the BC community and yet one more good reason why BC is the best place to trade.

    Thanks again Cal

  5. Hi Kevin,

    I'm posting this from memory and from quickly reading the manual so I stand to be corrected but as far as I know it should be possible to configure the desk to provide a sub output.

    The desk has the standard A/B outputs for driving the left and right channels but in addition has 4 Omni outputs which can be configured to the Aux sends. It should be possible to configure one of the Omni outputs as a direct feed to your active sub. 

    A copy of the manual can be found here and if you go to page 94 then 116 it explains the options for the Aux sends and Omni outputs. Most importantly it provides a four-band parametric EQ and dynamics processors on the Aux sends so that you can tailor the frequency response of the signal being sent to the active sub. 

    The remaining 3 Omni outputs could then be configured to other Aux sends so that you have provision for stage monitoring etc.

    If you have not used a digital desk before then its operation can be a little daunting. So if you decide to go for it then I would strongly recommend that you sit down at home with the desk and your PA system and spend a few quiet hours finding your way around it. The flexibility and options it provides are very extensive but you need to familiarise yourself with them before going out gigging with it. Certainly do not go straight out on a gig with it working from scratch. Once you've grasped the principle of operation you will not want to go back to an analogue desk. 

    So in summary it doesn't have a dedicated sub out but I can see no reason why you can't drive it via the Omni outputs.

    On a more general note I am absolutely amazed that this mixer is still up for sale as such a ridiculously low price. These regularly sell on eBay for much more money and certainly not in such nice condition as this desk. This has to be the bargain of the month.

    If I can be of any further help please give me a shout.

  7. I bought this lovely little Galaxie off Pestie a few months ago with the intention of using it at home to noodle on. The reality is that I only play 5 strings these days so always tend to gravitate towards a 5'ver. It's a a shame as it needs to be used.

    This is a contemporary reissue and not an original 60's model, that said its a cracking little bass. As you can see from the photos it is in overall very good condition and strung with flats. More photos can be made available on request.

    The bass doesn't have a bag or case so will need to be collection only I'm afraid.  Located near Stratford upon Avon the kettle is always at the ready.

    All items now sold on Ebay.

    The clear-out continues and I am selling some of my lighting which isn't getting used much at the moment. 

    The MH640 uses a 250W discharge lamp MSD250. They have CMY colour mixing to provide an almost infinite range of colours, 6 colour filters + open and beam shape effect.

    The lights have been used so there are a few marks and scratches on them but nothing too distracting. The lamps are both good, Both units have been fully cleaned and serviced and ready to go. The Futurelight units were made at the same factory as Robe and so spares are still readily available should they ever be needed.

    The manual for the MH640 can be found here

    Any questions please don't hesitate to contact me by pm and I'll do my best to answer them. By the very nature of the units they have to be collected. I'm located not too far from Stratford upon Avon and the kettle is always at the ready.

  9. Sold - A Set of four Wilkinson tuners with bushes for sale (sorry, no screws available) - Sold

    I bought these for a project but found the footprint of the base plate a little too large so will not be using them. A couple of them are marked around the screw holes where it looks like someone has attempted to remove fixing screws previously. I have tried to show this in the photos so if you want something that is perfect then these are not for you. Other than that they do what is says on the tin.

  10. The only thing that I've found that can deteriorate is the foam pop shield that they insert behind the metal windshield on the likes of the SM58 and some AKG mics. On my AGK 5900C's the foam shield has started to crumble on a few of them and so I've bought up some stock to replace them in the future. Probably a good idea for hygiene reasons as well. 

  11. Sold - Zero 88 lighting console for sale. The full spec and user manual can be downloaded here. - Sold

    Basically it is a 24 channel DMX lighting controller. If you have DMX controlled LED Par Cans this will allow you to program scenes and then run them through in a sequence.  For example you could set up a scene where all lights were red and then provide a slow and gradual fade to blue. This looks much more sophisticated than LED Par cans running on sound to light where the the colours tend to bounce and strobe all over the place.

    Everything works as expected on the console, cosmetically it is looking a little tired as there is some paint loss on the top panel. This however is reflected in the price.

    Can post at cost.

    Happy to answer any questions. Thanks for looking.

    Thanks again Simon.

  13. Very tidy Squier 5 string Precision for sale. The neck on this is quite wide, 51mm at the nut and 69.5mm at the 12th fret. Having said that it is surprisingly easy to play and would be a great way of getting into 5 stingers. 

    The colour of the bass is proving exceptionally difficult to photograph accurately but it's best described as champagne silver. Everything works as it should. Comes with a basic gig bag.  I'll let the photos do the talking.

    Collection only or could possibly meet up somewhere within reason. Located near Stratford upon Avon.

    SOLD

  14. Sold a mixer to Kev. Ultra smooth transaction, top bloke to deal with.

    Will have no hesitation in dealing again and one more excellent reason why BC is the best place to trade.

    Thanks again Kev.
