    Used in a small studio (NS10s, 8" JBLs and similar). Ideal for near-field monitor mounting. Note cabs need to be rectilinear (straight edges) in order to mount securely. Max depth front to back approx 240mm. They adjust for height, angle in both planes. Proper pro gear, just not used anymore. Free to Basschat home but please cover UK post (prob a fiver).

    Top trading with Ed. He bought my Sansamp, fast, no messing about, really good chats along the way. Excellent Basschat member. And check out his band Heilung... wow!!

    Free to UK post. Outside UK please ask. As new, hardly used. Note parametric mids - that's main reason I chose this one. Velcro-ready, otherwise mint.

    If you like PJB you'll love this. It is absolutely as new and way under half price. Absolutely as new (truly all-over mint), very light home use only. This is the 6 x 5" with Neo drivers. Rated 300W (6 Ohm)*, weight 20Kg (see spec pic). Has big wheels at back, a large carry handle recessed into top and a retracting suitcase-style handle at rear. Front ported which I greatly prefer. I have mainly run it with a GB 900 (valve pre)- love the sound. It's a very clean cab - what you hear is the bass and the amp. Anyway, it's an extra I don't need so has to go. No trades and not up for shipping as don't have suitable packaging. But will meet a reasonable distance. *The 6ohm is unusual but due to 6 x 4ohm drivers wired in series/parallel = 6.

    Pair of robust wall brackets for small / mid-size monitors. Designed / intended for studio near-field monitors. Adjustable vertically and rotate horizontally. Note the cabs need to be straight-edged - straight along bottom front and rear edges, in order to fit to the stand clamps. Used them with a pair of fine US built JBLs, previously pair Yamaha NS10s. Max size depth (front-to-back) approx 240mm. Can't comment on weight limit but if they fit size-wise will surely be ok for weight. The brackets are solid. Very good condition. Free to Basschatters who will know what these are for. Tried them on Gumtree and just got the usual idiot traders.

    Hi Mike - definitely 6 ohm, 6 x (I assume) 4ohm drivers wired series + parallel . Don't know the rating on the Markbass - is it 800 into 4 ohm? So into 8 would be around 450, into 6 around 630 (approx guesses). I ran it with a Genz 900 (so 900 into 4 ohm) - obviously never used or needed anywhere near full power and the Genz could probably fry the 300w pjb If cranked right up. Let me know if interested, can always get together and hook the Markbass up. Might be a tads biased, but the Genz Benz (now sold) into this pjb..... bloody sublime.

    Really as new, unmarked, even original display sticker on top. I have gigged this a few times (pre-covid) but no live work so sadly must go. It is honestly the best head I've had ever (maybe the old all-valve Trace was also up there). Personal taste but I'd been through TCs, Aguilar, Ashdown - I like this one best. Ran it mainly with a GK 410 btw, then a GB 1208. pre-amp gain works really well - very progressive warmth, valvy sound. Everything works perfectly, silent pots, all front lights - and the backlit Genz panel lights up a very tasty blue. Basically nothing to report - it's a right good un. Complete with GB custom bag for the 900 - fits perfectly with pouch at front for mains and Speakon. Has original box it came in. Not after trades, sorry!

NOTE, has big wheels at back, a large carry handle recessed into top and a retracting suitcase-style handle at rear. Front ported which I greatly prefer. I have mainly run it with a GB 900 (valve pre)- love the sound. I'd describe it as extremely honest - no significant cab colouration. Of particular note - the highs are super-smooth (no HF unit as the 5s deliver the HF) and integral to the overall sound. On the GB I dial in pre-amp drive to warm it all up. Anyway, It's up for sale as I don't have a use for it now. Not up for shipping as don't have suitable packaging. But will meet a reasonable distance.

    Anyone happen to know who played bass on 'Ain't no stoppin' us now': McFadden & Whitehead ('79). Had a google around but no luck so far. A bit tasty!

      Looks like it was James Williams who's played on quite a few known tracks 👍

      Thanks Ace - yes, looks right. Apparently he played on most O'Jays tracks and this song was maybe first penned for them but writers decided to keep it. Call me anorak 😂. Cracking soul player

    Just got some patch leads from Mark - fast, well packed, brilliant price and pleasure to deal with. 5 stars from me.

    I find the Harley Benton chorus BCH-1 and the Behringer vintage delay VD400 both shockingly good, for silly money. I have and have used several Boss and TC - but I use the HB chorus by choice.

    I like the tort - it suits the period of bass very well, the original would have been tort... all looks very proper.

    Dave Wilson in Hexham is highly recommended, by me and quite a few others here. He did my P from original poly 3TSB to LPB nitro about 2 years ago - cost then around £320, maybe a bit more now. Find him on FB or someone here will have a number Here's the thread that got me sorted, I think some LPB Precision shots in there too - really perfect finish.

    Currently using the 'white' LaBellas, and have done some time - like 'em for what sound I want. But interested in the Galli - Bass Direct? I may give them a go. As for the rounds/flats / nylon debate, totally depends on the bass, the player and the sound wanted. If I was stringing a Jazz right now I'd probably put EB Cobalt flats on. On my Mayones playing with a more unplugged ensemble, I use the LaBellas. If I really wanted the rounds sound (on the ficticious Jazz) I'd probably need a pro finish on the fingerboard first because they do chew boards up over time.
  17. Soledad
    Totally agree. Puts me off. The 'signature' is normally some kind of mod that suits that player, his style, strings, live sound etc etc. I dallied recently with a Martin 000 acoustic, good used about 2.5k, Eric Clapton signature version a few hundred more plus it has a bloody signature on the actual fingerboard. Bunch of a*se.

    Seriously didn't recognise her, and didn't think to check line-up. I'll go investigate Crooked Still some more.

    Three chords and the truth. Never fades, never fails.

    Great find, excellent! D-bass and 'cello groove is quite something, and 'cello solo, then banjo... 👋 Vocal sounds quite like Aoife O'Donovan I thought. Dead good.

    Anyone know? Is the tone pot on a std P/J just a 250k? And is it log or linear? And which of those sounds more progressive, not a sudden gush of top in the last 5% kind of thing?? I could go and look I suppose 😃
  22. Soledad
    Good with soldering. This is an intermittent thing and it isn't the lead as I use several good alternatives. I can take jack plate out and it's all solid, nice contacts, no loose nut etc. I now suspect the tone pot. I'm going to swap that and see what I get then.Need to check what pot values for a std P/J tone pot.. Here we go, scratchplate off again.

    The output jack on my USA '98 Precision Special is still a bit troublesome. Had it looked at a while ago and I've been inside myself. The jack on these is very close to the tone pot and wiring is a bit crammed in that area. The problem is intermittent - part signal loss, earthy noise etc. It might not be the actual jack - the tone pot may be suspect. Hard to see but it sits at a very slight angle to scratchplate so I suspect the bass has stood on a stand for long periods, with tone knob under pressure (some stands don't fit P/Js). Can anyone recommend a permanent fix - alternative jack socket, different wiring routing, shielding somewhere, anything?? I'd like to keep it close to original but this needs sorting so I can rely on it. The pics are not really needed, but it's a mighty fine bass !

    Don't think mine has kicked in yet, (or it is very quiet). I've not run mine hard anyway, mainly balancing with an acoustic guitar or two. Noisy fans do annoy me - not forgivable I think as super-quiet induction motors can be got on eBay for peanuts, I mean manufacturers can surely source near-silent fans. I recall a noisy fan on a Trace head some years ago but at fan-level the rig was so LOUD it really didn't matter!

    One maker I think should be on this list: Eastman. Very highly rated for their semis and acoustics, made in China... very well indeed. They do an OM acoustic that Maks reckons will give a guitar twice the price a serious run. Have a big reputation in the U.S. for their semis. Just think they are worth a look - in the range around a grand new in UK. Agree the Taylor will be good, but I think all Taylors end up over-priced here. And the Fender seems well-rated. Let us know where you end up.
