D'Addario EXL170 XL 45-100. Bought a twin pack but not for me so here is the remaining set, brand new and sealed. Collection Orpington BR6 or plus postage. -
Anyone else got a Trace Elliot (Peavey) Elf head that cuts out? I’ve been really impressed by the tone and size of this but now appears to be over heating after about 45 minutes of bedroom level playing. Cuts out intermittently for a few seconds and then comes back. Neither gain nor volume set particularly high. It’s covered by warranty so I’m expecting it to be repaired/replaced but have yet to hear back from Peavey or GAK where I bought it from. I appreciate the laws of physics apply to small form factors and heat, but haven’t been able to find much online about them overheating. Mine gets hot, which is to be expected due to the size but I wonder if the fan is faulty?

Jazz Bass Strings : Rounds or Flats?
Happypants replied to PaulThePlug's topic in Accessories and Misc
Guessing I’m too late here but have some new D'Addario EXL170 XL Nickels 45-100 that I’m looking to move on for a tenner and you’re local! Bought a twin pack but too bright for me. Will stick them up in the classifieds if you’re sorted. -
Sold elsewhere, thanks. -
If of any interest, from spec sheet: Bass +/-15dB @ 100Hz Lo Mid +/-15dB @ 220Hz Middle +/-15dB @ 660Hz Hi Mid +/-15dB @ 1.6kHz Treble +/-15dB @ 7kHz Edit: but the manual has the low mids at “340Hz”?

Oh that’s it - I need a Super Compact!

It’s marked up as a German model voltage wise (I’m no expert but should be same as UK). They also threw in a European to UK 3 pin adapter as the supplied cable is 2 pin. No complaints, would order from MP again (and just have). Was an impulsive buy due to price although initial impressions are lovely. Clearly completely excessive for my needs and now I need a wider cab!

Ordered mine last Saturday and arrived today so disappointing to hear yours has been delayed 😢

Audio-Technica ATH-40x headphones Got these from the wife last Christmas. Used maybe 5 times for a total of 3 hours so excellent condition. Come with box and everything they came with new. Case and coiled cable never been used. Don’t find them particularly comfortable so going to try some DT770s. Bought from Amazon so can provide receipt/invoice if needed. Small ding on one corner of box. £55 £50 posted with Royal Mail UK only or collected from Orpington BR6.

Thanks @Merton The price difference is so negligible I’m swinging towards the 800. Both will exceed my current power requirements but nice to have some overhead should there be a future need. Now just to see if they get anymore RM112s at that price!
-
Crazy prices! With the prices so similar, is there any disadvantage of going for the RM800 over the RM500 aside from being overkill?
-
Between the Celinder and the Stingray for me as the track suits them better. Probably the Stingray if I was pushed and probably helped by the colour!
-
That went very quick! Looks tidy.

Paul indulged my weakness for a pretty bird’s eye maple neck and quenched the GAS ... for now! Quick to reply to messages, offered to meet halfway, had a great natter. Would happily buy from again; a real gent.

Now on the Fender Jazz 4 so I’ll let you know how I get on - I didn’t realise how dead my old strings sounded. Initially I thought I’d ordered the wrong lengths as the E string taper appeared to start before the nut when strung through the body. Once tuned up it seats in the nut properly but only just; the other strings are fine. To be fair there was a warning on StringsDirect to measure the existing strings which I ignored!
-
Now have a box and copious amounts of bubble wrap/air bags so shipping via UPS is available at buyer’s cost. Will be suitably bubble wrapped inside and outside gig bag. Or happy for suggestions/advice from members with shipping experience. -
Great, thanks, I’m going to give them a twirl on the jazz. I’m guessing the panto is covid dependent so fingers crossed for you.
-
How are they holding up? (Or did they?)
-
Bump. £280 collected BR6 or NW4.

Bought a rather lovely bass from Dan. Quick to reply to any questions, super fast shipping, well packaged and mint condition as described. Deal with in confidence. Cheers!
-
It’s fantastic, love it! The addition of a string has been interesting but forcing me to work on muting. Mightily handsome too! 😍

Three at the moment: Yamaha BB434/BB734/BBP34 Stingray/Sterling H 4 string variations Fender Flea Active Jazz Probably a Fender precision too. As a relatively new player I’d imagine there’s a whole load of awesome I’m not even aware of yet but they are the top of my list at the moment. Would make sense to go and have a play in a shop when/if lockdown eases.

Purchased from this very parish in October 2020 from @haimesy who bought it new. Unfortunately I have only played it briefly a handful of times; uncontrollable GAS and self imposed limit of 3 basses means this is up for sale. Sire U5 short scale bass in colour mint - £300 £280 collected or plus shipping, no offers at present. Excellent condition. Only noticeable marks are a small ding to headstock and a very faint mark near the truss rod adjustment on the mint green edge. Comes with basic gig-bag (doesn't fit great) that was new with the bass. Collection from Orpington BR6 (also possible at my parents’ place in Hendon NW4). Would consider driving to meet somewhere as long as it’s not too far. Postage now available via UPS at buyer’s cost. Appreciate I haven't sold here before so would consider shipping before payment to established members with significant feedback. Also listed on eBay where I have substantial feedback (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224396320932) Specs: Body Material: North American Alder Body Shape: Marcus Miller Small J-Style (Slim Carved Body) Body Color: NT, TS (Flamed Veneer Top), Mint (Solid Color) Neck Wood: Hard Maple Neck Shape: C-Shape Scale: 30” (Short Scale) Fingerboard Material: Hard Maple / Rolled Fretboard Edges Fingerboard Radius: 9.5” Frets: 2.4mm Medium String Nut: Bone Nut, 38mm width Binding: None Inlay: BK Dot Neck Joint: 4-Bolt Steel Square Plate Pickup: Marcus Super PJ Revolution Set Controls: Passive Volume and Tone Control | Volume (Neck PU), Volume (Bridge PU), Tone (Master) Knobs: Modern Black Aluminum Bridge: Marcus Miller Vintage-S Tuning Gear: Premium Open-Gear Hardware Finish: Chrome Pickguard: None
