Martin bought my markbass chorus - really nice guy to deal with. No messin’👍

Our band has discussed this scenario and as a hobbyist pub covers band, we have agreed to offer a freebie to 4/5 of our regular venues where we have a good and long standing relationship.
 

We will also ask them to commit to 2 or 3 paid dates for when and if they get back on their feet. Why ? Cos we really miss playing and want to be able to continue doing something we enjoy.

I totally get other people’s take on it though. I just can’t see any normality returning anytime soon.

Hi Mike,  if this is still available I'll take it as part of my eternal search for 'that' sound😁

Yes - just pm me and we can sort

His other item for sale is a vintage air guitar - that also seems a bargain

When trading up to the BT2 what you gain is flexibility.

I have the BT2 Gen3 and absolutely love it. HF unit is never ever harsh sounding and the crossover rolls off highs from the woofers as well as rolling off lows from the tweeter for a nice flat response. It is the one cab that can do it all and stay tight at serious soundlevels. When you dial out the HF unit, the woofers get the full range signal again so will sound very reminiscent of your current cab.

 

 

Thanks - this the kind of advice I was after. The term ‘trading up’ has really hit home.

Much to think about 😊

Has anyone A/B’d these two cabs. ?

I really like the Super Twin I have now but am tempted with the Big Twin up for sale on here now.

Does anyone have contact details for line 6 in the uk ?

They we’re going to replace a Helix Stomp under warranty through Dawsons just before lockdown but with Dawsons going to administration, I fear it will fall in the cracks.

Dunno if I could get refunded through the credit card people

Nice - what’s the dimensions and weight ?

PYRAMID Gold 40-105 Pure Nickel 4-String Flatwound Bass Strings
 

Been cut for a 2+2 34” scale bass. They had only just been put on a bass I bought so are pretty much new. I just prefer rounds !

£49.99 at Strings Direct. 
 

£23 includes uk postage 

Decided to move to an all valve head so up for sale is my Darkglass Microtubes 900 v1.

 Really versatile amp with pretty well every adjustment you might need.

 Full specs can be found here :- https://www.darkglass.com/microtubes-900/

 All in great condition and operating perfectly, it will come with the very excellent Darkglass gigbag and the 4 button super intelligent foot pedal which allows you to select clean,b3k, micro tube  or mute.

 Will currently only ship within the UK until restrictions change.

Price is £625 including postage. Bank transfer prepared or PayPal gift/family & friends.

Thanks for looking.

Just a heads up on 2.9 update having just done mine.

For some reason, FS3 became tap tuner for all my presets. After a short panic I twigged it just needed a global setting change to set FS3 function back to Stomp.

Never came across this when I upgraded to 2.8.2 so it must be a new bug, feature

Another smooth hound fan here and can I add a call out for their excellent after sales service

Pretty much as new, Velcro fitted. 

A compact expression pedal about the same size as a standard boss fx

TRS (25k)/TS (10k)/RTS (25k) selector, so you can be sure it'll work with most of your gear. Worked great with Helix stomp but I have decided to use another Footswitch instead.

£55 price includes uk postage

Took the plunge on the LB550 rather than the tweed CTM30 I was mulling over.

That’s very nice, if I hadn’t just bought a fiesta red CIJ 75 reissue😉

What’s the dimensions ?

I agree. I didn't want to assume you were rich or not. However, for some of our fellow BC'ers money doesn't appear to be an issue with their Foderas and other expensive bits of kit, which I suspect half of them probably can't play very well but have the money to convince others that they can. Miaow.   

Haha - my gear is a higher standard than playing but I figure my band would sack me if I wasn’t at least reasonable. Moreover, I’ve now lived in Yorkshire so long the the expression “How Much ?!” figures high in the GAS considerations.

But seriously, am now considering a CTM30 or the little stubby as I reckon the BF cab is so sensitive it will be loud enough for our pub gigs

Have you considered the new Ashdown CTM200R?

 

Looks good but I suspect prices will stay high until some come onto the used market

Does anyone run this combination ?

i fancy trying a valve head but notice the Ashdown is 24” wide so wonder how stable it is on a 19” wide cab like my BF Super Twin

Refinished roadworn MIJ 62 reissue body, Allparts unlined neck, Dimarzio DP123s, kiogon loom.

Feeling Quite pleased with the finished article 😄

Clarky bought a pedal from me, great comms, top bloke

Tom bought some patch cables from me, top guy to deal with 👍

Sorry, it sold about an hour back - will mark as sold
