I love mine and have no regrets about swapping from my previous multi pedal set up to the Stomp.

Just give some thought as to how you’re going to power it. The power supply it comes with isn’t the sturdiest thing but you’ve probably already got something powering your board that will do the job.

And also think how you’re going to operate it in a gig setting. Three stomp switches isn’t a lot so I’d defo add an auxiliary dual foot switch to give you FS4/5. I also added a Morningstar MC6. All that, plus my wireless receiver sits nicely on a pedaltrain nano plus. Shout if you want a pic.

I had a jazz with that style scratchplate and knobs. Can’t recall much about it other than it was Mexican, not US. I swapped it out for a more standard scratch plate and bell plate. Still got it I’m the spares box.

Still a bargain either way.

So, the bass is in Nottingham, but the "seller" lives in Birmingham.  Is it this easy to scam people these days?

It will be a hacked account, probably the account on someone who is pretty much inactive on Facebook. They will likely have listed loads of different types of bargain goods, often with the same price tag.

Guess it must be worth their while otherwise why do it ?

I’m going to buy it.

And then tell them I’m away with work so am going to send a courier to pick it up. I just need them to pay for the insurance by entering their card details on a link I send them and then I’ll reimburse it.

I might have to put the price up 😊

it came on a knackered Columbus jazz I bought in lockdown as a doer upper

What you also tend to find is they always offer to buy your ‘item’ not your ‘Dingwall ng3’ or whatever it is you’re selling. I’ve had scores of such messages over the years and it’s clearly a copy & paste job.

That’s the trouble with kids today. Too lazy to put some proper effort into scamming you😊

For my needs I’m wondering if the ADJ DMX 384 Controller would be better than the Obey 70

Can buy new for £104 and it has the plus a midi command to turn sound to light off and on which would be useful.

Thanks for the input everyone. Much to mull over but the midi and physical DMX controller seems the way forward.

That’s where my mindset is going Tim

Can pick up an Obey 70 for about £70 and stick it in a rack case between my amp and cab

Then I can always midi commands to it from my pedal board if I can figure it out.

I’m looking to upgrade the bands lighting. We’re just a covers band who play the pub circuit so no luxury of a sound or light person.

We currently just have a 4 par Equinox unit with a broken footswitch and are going to add a wash light or 2.

Clearly DMX is the way forward to control the lights but I’m torn between 2 options.

The iPad route would be clean as we already use a router for the iPad controlled mixer. But the big problem I see is how are we going to control it when we’re all busy playing.

Second option is a dmx controller with midi input. As I run a Morningstar mc6 into a Helix Stomp presumably I could run through into the dmx controller and call up Chasers from there. Downside on that is that it’s another lump of kit to transport.

Just wondered what other similar bands used. 

Sad news

I travel Wakefield up the M1/A1 to Harrogate most weeks

Great little headphone amp with instrument, aux and XLR mic input. Can be linked up to other units so you can have your own personal band mix.

I use my helix for headphone practice now so this is surplus

Another spares box clearing find. This was on Columbus Jazz that i bought as a project but clearly not original.

Its a 4 hole (no screws sorry) bridge. Pretty chunky at 280g. Adjustable string spacing with the threaded saddles.

£25 uk posted but open to offers if that's highball for what it is !

Chrome straplocks, black buttons (no screws sorry)

Fender Custom Shop '60s Jazz Bass Bridge Pickup

£55 including postage within the UK

Bought off here for a project but never installed by me. Previous owner bought it new but never installed it either, so as-new condition. 

Unused, unboxed pair of Jazz pups. I'm assuming they're JBX and not JBXN as the magnets are quite chunky !

I’ve got j-retro, p-retro and u-retro in other basses but I just don’t think the uni-pre will fit in here.the glockenlang 4 pot unit looks a lot more compact 

Hi all

Lookiny for some guidance as to a replacement for a Sadowsky pre in a Shuker pj bass.

The ideal choice was a John East uni-pre 4 knob but I’m not convinced the cavity has room for it.

The 3 knob version might fit but I’d need a new pick guard 

I’ve attached some pics to show the space available in the cavity and would appreciate thoughts about what 3 band 4 knob set up might fit.

Thanks in advance 

Release the Hounds are playing the Station Tavern in Cleckheaton on Saturday 27th January. We’re a female fronted 5 piece covers band who do a bit of everything.

its not far from Dewsbury, Bradford, Halifax and Brighouse in West Yorkshire.
