I'm having a clear-out of gear I either don't use or don't use very well, these mics fall into the latter category. By 'don't use well' I mean that while I use them for voice recording, I don't really use the modelling functionality, and while these are stunning mics in pure hardware and functionality terms, a pair of SM7-Bs also work just as well for my needs. I've owned these since 2022 and they've had mostly spoken word use in that time. I bought them having already used UAD hardware and plug-ins (UAD subsequently bought Townsend Labs and these are now branded the UAD Sphere DLX https://www.uaudio.com/products/ua-sphere-dlx-modeling-microphone?srsltid=AfmBOorgjZ5kwOqTV-2uCtMPcc25_I2vJglALwqt2tpzagSQOZNPbLyK). Having read this review https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/townsend-labs-sphere-l22 I was really excited at being able to modify mic models/orientation in post-production. But to be honest, I've never really needed to, and barely have the time to record these days, let alone to spend hours playing around with different mics afterwards. But I suspect that in a Pro or Semi-Pro studio these, and the software that comes with them, could be a gamechanger. Included with each mic is the shock-mount, cable, mic stand adapter, soft case, and hard case. I'll get some more pics up later. They retailed around £1450 each and sell used on eBay at between £800-900 so at £750 these are competitively priced, if you wanted them both I'm happy to haggle. Happy to courier or for collection/meet-up I'm also going to be moving on a few more items of studio gear that isn't getting enough use to justify staying

What do you do when your music career is over?
Beedster replied to NancyJohnson's topic in General Discussion
Hugh McDowell, who was the other ELO cellist of that era, taught on my Electronic Music Technology course in the early 80's -
Nothing worse than doing a few rehearsals with a new band, things trundling along quite nicely, and then out of nowhere comes the racist comment/joke and you're the only one not agreeing/laughing......

If it were me I'd remove myself from the WhatsApp group ASAP and put it all behind me, negative response or lack of response will only drag things out longer. Contact the singer and ask the question, and then move on either with or without her 👍

Has anyone actually ordered a Fender Mod Shop instrument?
Beedster replied to HeadlessBassist's topic in Bass Guitars
Yep, 100% true Also suspect they're going to be harder than standard instruments to move on when we (inevitably) decide to do so -
Sorry to hear this @solo4652, sounds like you're well out of it, although that's not a lot of help I know. I'm starting to understand why band members choose to own the PA or the van, reduces the chances of this shit happening.....

Help: running two cabs when there aren't enough sockets......?
Beedster replied to Beedster's topic in Repairs and Technical
Steve @Steve Browning and Dave @obbm, thank you so much 🙏 -
That sounds more like a confidence issues than a competence issue?

Wow it's a great day to be on this forum, many thanks, I'll do that, I'd far rather have a unit built by your good self 🙏 -
Help: running two cabs when there aren't enough sockets......?
Beedster replied to Beedster's topic in Repairs and Technical
Many thanks (30-mins is hardly a delay!). I'm guessing that's inadvisable with two different cabs as per the above post, the cabs in question are both 8 ohm, one a 15" only, the other a 10" and two 6"s? -

Steve, as ever you're a star mate, perhaps @obbm can confirm? -

Thanks, not doubting your word but I'd be interesting in understanding why? -

I'd be far happier if that cab splitter box was Speakon..... 🤔 -
Help: running two cabs when there aren't enough sockets......?
Beedster replied to Beedster's topic in Repairs and Technical
So, another question...... As the cab splitter allows me to run parallel at 4ohms or series at 16ohms, would I expect any difference in volume/tone or is it to keep all things equal in this respect that the Drophead has separate outputs for each (4/8/16ohms). Only asking out of curiosity really, I imagine i'll be running them in parallel at 4ohms but always good to know the options 👍 -

Beedster replied to Beedster's topic in Repairs and Technical
Thanks Pete, funny I was looking for something that would do that but not knowing whet they're called didn't find it! I'll order one of those, Anderton's have them in stock 👍 -

Beedster replied to Beedster's topic in Repairs and Technical
I think so, but I'm not sure a box designed for instrument level would survive being placed after the amp....?
