Now £600

 

my car has started to make some funny noises so have dropped this down to £600  in anticipation 

Up for sale is my remaining Washburn S1000 bass, having recently selling my black one I’ve decided to put this up for sale too to fund a different purchase. I can provide a tatty gig bag that it came with free of charge.

bought from bassbros also in March, has not left my house since or been gigged. I will provide some more photos of the dings and marks soon.

offers and trades welcome. I am interested in a origin effects bassrig super vintage especially 

Yeah as nice as these look I don't think they'll be kicking my V4B out anytime soon.

I got the blonde one back in February and it’s been my main bass ever since! Sounds incredible and the rolled edges and the fretboard are a game changer. It has taken the place of my fenders, I’m tempted to order the red one as a backup or to keep in an alternate tuning.

"surprisingly light", you be hench, boy, I could barely lift mine! 

Hahaha sadly not I have the skinniest arms around 😂 Compared to my old Ashdown CTM300, it’s just a lot lighter!

Made the journey up to Newcastle today to pick-up this beauty! I am yet to try it out at a decent volume but I love the sound of it on my brief play of it earlier, I'll be able to give it a proper blast at rehearsal next week! I'll only be using this for my new Rock/Grunge band, I'll keep to using my Rumble 500 for session/dep work I think for ease. The Amp is surprisingly light though as is the cab.

think he means if he cant change the cloth he'll just use the 212 to match the head not both cabs

Apologies, English may be my first language but I’m still terrible at it hahah. This is indeed what I meant. I’d like to have the 610 match the v4b grill cloth. If that’s not possible then I’d ditch the 610 and use the 212. I’d never use both at the same time haha

I’m looking at picking up an Ampeg v4b for a new band, I like the idea of pairing it with the 610hlf but the mismatched grill cloth would irritate me. Does anyone know where I could get a AV grill made for the 610? Otherwise I will just pair it with the matching 212av.

Final price drop before going onto evilbay 

And I just bought a brand new vertigo 😭

Hardcase now added (Cat not included)

My simple rig, depending on the

set im playing, I also have a boss OC2 to add in after the LMB3 and I sit the sansamp on top of my amp.

Bass sounds great, aside from the GLDX+, what's your signal path? I take it your DI'd?

cheers mate, my signal is pretty minimal nowadays. My signal path is just the Squire 40th anniversary P bass

So here's the thing about "every penny" 😄, and I totally get this is most likely just my weird way of looking at the world: we've invested in a similar quality desk (albeit ours doesn't churn out 1,600W, we've left that to the powered speakers!) and it costs a similar amount i.e. around the £400 mark.

Given just how important a desk (and PA) is to band's sound, it just feels the wrong priority to be spending £500 on a wireless just for the bass, when you and I have both spent less on our mixing desk?

Maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way and I'm sure there will be plenty of views in the opposite direction.

 

But I think I'll likely be seeing how this lot fare first:

 

 

which I've recently managed to pick up used for < £100. If they crash and burn, too, I may well be following you down the Shure GLXD16+ path!

 

Or.......maybe just getting myself a looong lead for £30 instead 😁

I understand that yeah, I must say that the band I play for had all this PA equipment already as I have only recently joined them as I’m mainly a session player currently. I would agree that a PA is more important than a wireless unit! The cheaper units are absolutely fine and work well I think, I just feel a bit more confident and safe with the Shure unit.

Damn you're not making it easy for the rest of us trying not to fork out £500+ on one of these are you?!

 

Out of interest what mixing desk is your band using?

Worth every penny! We played 2 x 45 minute sets plus about another 10-15 minute encore and the battery indicator only when down by 1 LED from full. I won't have to charge it for another few gigs! The desk we use is a behringer euro power PMP4000.

Does the Shure work completely on batteries or does the receiver unit have to have a PSU?

The receiver is powered by my pedalboard power supply but it comes With a 12v PSU with a weirdly long but high quality cable 

Experienced session bass player available for gigs and studio work. Looking to take on more work, drop me a message if you’re in need of a bassist!

Absolutely 100% correct. It's just the best one out there imo, not the cheapest, but the best. 

Definitely, is sometimes better to front the money and get the best otherwise you’ll fall into the buy cheap, buy twice (or more) false economy

Mine arrives via DPD later today 👍

You won’t be disappointed!  It makes my old line 6 g30 look like a toy haha

I had my first show last night with my new Shure GLXD16+. I had the transmitter just clipped to my back pocket as my levy’s pouch hadn’t arrived in time. I must say that the Shure is absolutely worth the money, the unit is absolutely solid with 0 issues for me last night, the tuner is brilliant and easy to see on stage. Would recommend the unit to everyone. We did a 45 minute set and the battery is still displaying as full, the battery has around 12-14 hours life apparently so I won’t really need to charge it again for quite a while! The unit syncs itself instantly so no waiting around awkwardly for it to sync. No noticeable delay/latency whatsoever. Amazing unit, If you’re on the fence, buy one!

I’ve ordered the Neotech medium for now 

 

Now what about a spare cable ?? 
 

Anyone making these on eBay ?  

I have just ordered one of these ones, I'll be using this one instead as it is a right angle jack instead. The one provided is very high quality though but is a straight jack. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151008769692?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20221115143056%26meid%3D3017093d04864a3386613f0b464710bf%26pid%3D101612%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26itm%3D151008769692%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D4375194%26algv%3DRecentlyViewedItemsV2%26brand%3DNeutrik&_trksid=p4375194.c101612.m4236&_trkparms=parentrq%3A921986f51890a4f16f8bc610ffffcf4a|pageci%3A18ba8ef4-2bad-11ee-81b9-22f8284f7967|iid%3A1|vlpname%3Avlp_homepage

Well .. I’ve decided to return my Boss WL-50 and I’ve ordered the Shure GLXD16+ !!

 

I like the idea of the tuner and dual band 

 

Now question for other users where do you have the transmitter ? Back pocket, belt, strap or strap holster ? 

I just got mine delivered about an hour ago and its absolutely solid, quite heavy and solid construction. The tuner is super accurate so my polythene is off the board and likely retiring now, I am doing an outdoor show later today so will report back how it goes! I have ordered a Levy's holster which should be here later so won't be here in time for the gig unfortunately so will either have it on the strap or in my back pocket.
