Selling my Darkglass Element as surplus to requirements now. Sale now includes special delivery tracked Royal Mail postage. Price reduced for quick sale to £130.

Headphone Amp and Cabinet Simulator 

With a uniquely innovative approach, the Element incorporates cutting edge design and technology into a seemingly simple device. On the surface, this useful headphone amp is designed to handle the very core task of every musician - practice. 

Main Features 

•HQ Headphone Amp - drives 2 sets of headphones 

•IR Cabinet Simulations 

•Free Darkglass Suite - for loading additional IRs via USB or Bluetooth 

•Bluetooth and 3.5 mm Aux connections – allows jamming with backing tracks 

•Tough metal housing with unique control surface 

•Powered by 9-12 V DC PSU (centre -, 2.1 mm, ~ 250 mA current draw) - Note - not included with this sale.

Inspired by the touch sensor technology used in our Hyper Luminal·Compressor, this non-conventional pedal is completely minimalistic with a plain surface and zero knobs. Element utilises three fully-tactile slider potentiometers, each with positioning LEDs. These not only render the Element visually appealing, it also makes it extremely intuitive to use. 

Out of the box, Element offers a bank of 5 cabinet simulations and the ability to add many more through the Darkglass Suite, via USB or wirelessly via Bluetooth. In addition to a continuously increasing database of Impulse Responses, the Darkglass Suite also has the potential to load any custom IR that you may have, from different sources. Plus, as time goes on, there will be future upgrades that further increases the functionality of the device. 

Fully compatible with bass, electric guitars or indeed any kind of instrument, this headphone amplifier is the complete device for instrumentalists wanting/requiring silent practice at home or as the end of a pedalboard signal chain. You even can even hook it up to an amplifier output (with a separate load or speaker cabinet connected) and send the signal out to the PA or to recording systems via the XLR DI output. 

Add in the latest Bluetooth A2DP technology to listen to backing tracks from your smartphone or tablet while playing, rehearsing or studying, two headphone outputs to allow interaction with other players and the Element becomes one of the most helpful tools you will have to help you make music!

Based in Cambridge. Selling my mono gigbag as surplus to requirements now I have bought a Sadowsky bass. Hardly been used and still has tags on it.

The Guitar Sleeve is the latest addition to MONO's collection of professional luggage for musicians. Designed to be a minimalist solution for traveling light and simple, the new Sleeve collection of cases merges MONO's innovative protection and high quality construction standards into a super slim and stylish design. Sleeve is designed for standard, solid-body electric instruments. Hollow-body and other instruments with an overall maximum thickness (including bridge, pick-ups, knobs, toggles, etc.) of 3" are not recommended for the Sleeve. Bass Sleeve pouch internal fitting dimensions are 14" wide x 12" long (short side), 16" long (long side), and can be filled up to 2.5"- 3" deep.

Pretty straightforward really but if you have any questions do get in touch and I'll do my best to answer them.

Hi, I wonder if you can give me any idea about the volume that this amp could generate into two 1x12 GR cabs 8 ohm each) with tweeters? I know that it is all subjective but I'm not sure how well the 360 watts (at 2 ohm?) would cut through drums, guitars , keys and vocals. Any thoughts appreciated! Alan

??? Where is the 5th string?

Ha!Ha! Yes, corrected the correction! Cheers

Corrected! Cheers.

The EBS MicroBass 

3 is a 2-channel preamp, built exclusively with premium components. It is engineered by EBS in Sweden with technologies from the famous HD360 and Fafner II amplifier designs.

Professional grade signal level

The preamp operates at a signal level equal to a professional mixing console which gives you plenty of headroom. The high signal level makes it suitable to use as a preamp in combination with any type of power amp.

Clean and Drive in series or parallel

Run the Clean and Drive channels in series or parallel. Use the dual balanced XLR-outputs to tap the signal post and pre EQ at the same time. If you run the Effects loop in stereo mode, the balanced outputs become a Left and Right output instead.

Handles any type of bass

With 10 Mohms input impedance, it handles any type of bass – passive, active, or with piezo pickups

Onboard Tuner & Compressor

The built-in tuner makes it easy to tune between songs without the need of an external device. The MicroBass 3 also carries an onboard compressor, similar to the one found on several EBS amplifiers. Also Aux In.

Hi, it is in excellent condition. I think it was made in 2017. I could take the neck off and look at the date stamp to be certain but unless absolutely necessary I'd rather not do that . Cheers and thanks for looking. 

They look pretty well made to me and light but I'd be really interested in having views and opinions about how they play and how they sound

Anyone any experience of this bass yet? German made and apart form the website there doesn't seem to be much available about them. 

Many thanks for that. Does the speaker IR work with silent practice? Thanks.

Hi, can you give an idea of how this performs for silent practice? Thanks
