  1. Up for sale is this fantastic cab. I literally have only used it once, as I was using a smaller cab for my gigging. It is in as new condition. Perfect for anything up to medium sized gigs (and any bigger you'd have dedicated PA support). It is made with four 10" drivers and 1" ceramic tweeter. The cab is 8 Ohm, and rated at 600W The cab is very loud and has an incredibly tight response. As it's 8 Ohm, you can pair it with another cab to get the full power from your amp. Weighs approx 30kg, which is on the light side of things for a 4x10. Priced at a fair price to sell. Collection only near Royston, although I frequently travel to Hendon in North London and can take it in my car. Get in touch if you have any questions.
  2. Hi I've been playing for on and off 20 years. I'm versatile in a range of genres, but would love to play funk, jazz and other genres that gives the bass a chance for a meaningful role! I have been playing the DB for a lot less time but similarly competent. Can improvise and read charts. Looking for something serious but not professional as I have to fit in with work and kids. I have plenty of gigging experience and all the gear (too much gear!) and transport. Based in the South Cambs/ Herts area Cheers!

  4. Hi Sharon, I recently had a similar conundrum. I found a pre-owned stagg mt-300 which has been good for me as it is adjustable and higher than most bar stools. Others have had luck with the IKEA Franklin stool but the 74cm version (of course depending on how tall you are) Cheers
  5. Thinning the herd, so up for sale is this gorgeous Ray4 HH in Olive Green. It is a beautiful deep colour if you see it in the flesh. This is in showroom condition with no dings and hardly played. They are currently retailing for £469 so get a bargain for a fraction of the price of a US stingray. The twin humbuckers mean it is incredibly versatile, from the classic stingray tone, all the way to a jazz/p bass. The neck is super smooth, and has a J-bass profile. Comes with a basic gigbag. Reduced to £275 ono for quick sale Collection much preferred from near Royston, or I am in North London once a week. Come around to try it out. Can drive a reasonable distance if necessary. If postage insisted, is at buyers expense and I would have to source a box. Specs below: Model RAY4HH Body Wood Basswood (LBM, OLV) Body Color Olive (OLV) Bridge Fixed Bridge Pickguard White Scale Length 34” (86.4 cm) Neck Radius 9.5” (24 cm) Frets 21 Frets, Medium Neck Width 1.5” (38 mm) at nut Neck Wood Hard Maple Fingerboard Hard Maple (CAR, OLV) Fret Markers Black/White Dot Markers Tuning Machines Open Gear Truss Rod Single Action Neck Attachment 6 Bolts Controls 2-Band Active Preamp Switching 5-way Toggle Pickup Selector Pickups HH - 2 Ceramic Humbuckers Strings 0.45-1.05
  6. This actually looks super useful - thanks. That said, postage from this place is £11!!!!!!
  7. Love that this is getting into MacGyver territory:
  8. Nope tried that. It's a bit of a design flaw
  9. Would rather not for two reasons: one I'm not a tinkerer and don't want to open it up and two, I may rarely need it so so still need occasional access. But great suggestion!
  10. This sounds exactly what I'm after. Has all the ingredients: it works, it's cheap, it's a bodge, and it involves booze
  11. Hey chatters So on my TC electronic BH800 there are a number of small toggle switches. The ones at the front are protected by rails, but the one at the back (pictured) is not only exposed, but is the most protruding thing at the back of the amp. I am just waiting for it to snap off when the amp is in a bag. Does anyone have any non permanent solutions that can protect it? I hardly use the switch itself, so it can be a solution that means the switch is covered. Also, I don't care if it looks like a complete bodge, so long as it works. Thoughts? Thanks Toby
  12. Hiya 'chatters I have recently picked up a steal of a deal on a Sterling Ray4 HH (the dual humbucker) and plan to mod it up as a project. The first step is sourcing better pickups than the stock ones which are known to be rubbish. As the bass has the 5 way switch I cannot use some of the pickups that are only 2 wire, but instead need 4 wire pickups. Additionally, I would rather not spend more on the mods than the bass itself, particularly because I have to buy 2! So I'm after good quality pickups that don't break the bank. The Kent Armstrongs seem to fit the bill - anyone have any experience with them? Cheers Toby
  13. I had a similar experience with too good to be true prices on HX stomps - I asked for them to send a photo which included something with the current date on it and strangely had radio silence. Also noticed different sellers with the same profile picture for other HX stomps. I think it's all scams as they are items you would consider getting posted due to the relative inexpense of posting a small item versus the faff of the drive. Avoid at all costs and report it, even if it doesn't lead to anything it might get them to think twice. BUT (and a big but) if you are really set on buying it, get them to verify in ways that they cannot fake e.g. a photo with the item and today's newspaper - but if alarm bells are ringing, that's probably a good sign to steer clear.
  14. thanks @fretmeister - I had that thought about the aux input but my concern was that it, as you say, is designed for low output devices like ipods etc and perhaps is a subpar interface to the power amp. By the way you have described, it doesn't appear that you have tried this?
