    Hagstrom HB II 8 string bass Neck Hard Canadian Maple, Bolt-On Neck Binding Multiply Trussrod H-Expander™ Fingerboard Resinator™ Scale Length 30.75“ (781 mm) Radius 15" Inlays Hagstrom Perloid Dot Inlays Frets 21 Medium Jumbo Nut Graph Tech™ Black Tusq XL Nut Width 40 mm Pickups 2 x Hagstrom DynaRail Humbucker Controls 1 x Volume with push/pull coil split, kill switch (mute) near the neck pickup, 4 slide switches (from left to right as seen from playing position) Bridge Hagstrom Adjustable String-Through Body Tuning Keys 4x Hagstrom Design 22:1 Tuning Pegs, 4x Hagstrom Design 18:1 Tuning Pegs Condition - excellent with no visible marks of note and all electronics work fine. However one of the tuning peg ends has sheared off and needs a replacement… weirdly that string is still perfectly in tune 8 months after that peg sheared and I played the Newcastle City Hall gig (video below) at Christmas 2024 without the tuner! In fact Google Cheat Trick (Cheap Trick Tribute) to hear recordings and live examples of this bass.

    £750 Possible trade in a 34" Sandberg bass (light weight).
  3. warwickhunt
    re. trades - I actually would consider most 34" scale Sandberg basses but any trade would need to be light weight (they often are).

    I should have clarified that the MiPro has stereo combi inputs so if I was taking Aux outs (x2) they'd be going to L / R inputs on the transmitter.
  5. warwickhunt
    Did not know that. If I went TRS>XLR lead?

    One last bump before this goes off for a commission sale... at a significantly higher price!

    With regard to power ratings etc (speaking in simple terms), you'll be fine... so long as you don't whack the desk sliders to max! Start off at zero and bring it up gradually, if the speakers start to complain/fart, you've reached the speaker's max level but I'm confident they should give you enough volume before then. Set with your EQ flat and don't start cranking the bass, that can push speakers.

    You'd think so... but I just sold one of the new version Electra and it could not be switched; it was active only! It doesn't help the OP unfortunately.

    I'm not sure I've ever heard of a 'Golden Era' for Fender pups, other than vintage pups were hand wound and there was variance. Stock pups in most instruments are pretty much mass produced, machine wound and don't vary. You do get certain instruments with specific installs but a MiJ 2012 bass it'll be bog standard. <edit> @Doctor J beat me to it.

    In Memoriam

    warwickhunt replied to Kiwi's topic in Site News

    So sad to hear of Terri's passing, we had many exchanges of 'banter' in the early years and though I never met her, she seemed a lovely person. Condolences to @Tinman and all those around him. R.I.P. @Mrs Tinman

    Well the X32 is here which our band is going to use as an IEM mixer for live work where we do gigs where an engineer will be handling FOH and this is our responsibility. I'm going to start setting it up for basic IEM mixes which the band can then tweak. I have several questions if anyone can assist. 1. Do I set up each of the 6 IE outs independently or are there global settings that I can apply to all output mixes? 2. I'm certainly going to take a stereo IE mix from the X32 (several band members have shrugged and said mono is fine) but is there any benefit to using XLR over 1/4" outputs? My IE transmitter is a combi input and will take either. What are the obvious things that I'll miss and potentially need to do/know about?
  13. warwickhunt
    If it were up to me I'd likely manage with my CQ12; sometimes we'll not get drum feeds and it has 6 outs. However, a couple of the band want to future proof our needs and feel that the £677 X32 is the way forward. Oddly nobody wants a stereo IE feed so I'll likely be the only one doing so.

    Our most recent one at the weekend was 2 days, 3 stages, 30 bands, 10,000 people... and 20 minute turnarounds!
  15. warwickhunt
    You are 100% correct but this particular band wants a self contained unit, added to which my CQ is a 12... which is tight for channels.
  16. warwickhunt
    @Al Krow It's actually going to be an X32 Rack but we'll have a splitter in front of it; 1 feed to 'our' X32 to mix as we see fit and a 2nd feed (dry) to the FOH. @mike257 Sadly we've done a few (fake) festivals/theatre gigs lately where even the basics of giving us a rough FOH mix to our IEM (relayed in a tech spec to organisation/engineers month before) has been abysmal. I get that they have 6 bands in 9 hours to go through but little point in asking us for a tech spec if we get told 'Sorry, can't give you IE feeds. You'll need to have what we can give you in the monitors... Oh and can you start your set 'now' (this being when 2 members haven't had a line check and all of our gear is DI no backline)!" It is a tough job but we can't keep turning up to get 2nd rate foldback mixes when we've individually spent thousands on modellers and IE systems.
  17. warwickhunt
    Never mind that I'm already considering that in a 20 minute change over (+ line check), we're not going to have time to route 5 vocal mics and the drum mics via our system... could be £1200-£1500 for something that a lot of these gigs are just not going to be able to accommodate. Does anyone ( @mike257 ) know what the standard procedure is if a band rocks up with a racked 16 ch splitter and X32 and wants / needs the 5 vocal mics and drums routed through our system... in a 20-30 min turnaround?
  18. warwickhunt
    The messages coming through to me from the band are that we'll be buying the X32 Rack.
  19. warwickhunt
    In my head I'm wondering about some form of ambient mic near the kit @Phil Starr What are we losing by going the XR18 @JPJ as opposed to X32?
  20. warwickhunt
    Resurrection time... After experiences at a festival yesterday we are absolutely going for this. X32 Rack £677 MS8000 £114 (pair) 6U case £100 18 short XLR/XLR loom (splitters > X32) £39 3m 16 XLR/XLR (splitter > FOH) £60 Total £990 My only reservations are: getting PA engineers to mic/supply us feeds of the drums to our Splitter > X32, positioning of the unit so that we can run feeds from X32 to our 'individual' IE transmitters (we all play in other bands so it is not practicable to rack all 6 transmitters).
  21. warwickhunt
    Absolutely no need to worry about the ratings or the pairing of the amp/cab; generally the biggest/only worry or consideration is not getting the impedance wrong i.e. plugging a pair of 4 ohm cabs (which is 99% sure to be 2 ohms) into an amp that is rated down to 4 ohms minimum.

    It used to be that certain RM services only compensated up to multiples of the postage cost but the detail was in the small print T&Cs.
  24. warwickhunt
    Another Google calendar advocate but one band that I am in insists on using 'Timetree' app. It does the job with no issues but Google is just convenient for across devices.

    Good old (new) Sandberg Cali in metallic orange.
