  1. This is a well-rehearsed condition, although your personal circumstances may make it more challenging. We do have the Gear Abstinence thread for those trying to kick the habit, or at least contain it - in a non-judgmental way of course
  2. Use any mic you want to - bigger dynamic mics look great - but please don’t plug it in. The chances of improving your sound by mixing it with a DI are slim and the likelihood of making it sound worse are considerable 🙀
  3. Just bought a rack bag off Simon. Great guy to deal with - the bag arrived in its original packaging and in pristine condition. As if more positive feedback was needed - buy or sell with confidence from him! Nick
  4. Definitely not even a peripheral part of the signal chain 😁 Failure averted 🙏
  5. Well, I’ve just bought a rack bag, so I guess a tier 2 fail although it is for the PA amp, not bass gear. What’s the verdict?
  6. I’m sure there’s a market for a bass ‘arpeggiator’. I just play the root note and it kindly fills in with a suitable walking pattern or fill. Not that I’m lazy or anything…
  7. This box has a set of three Speakon connectors wired in parallel (using pins 1 & 2) so can be used as an extender for speaker cables, or to allow two cabs to be driven from the same amp One connector at one end and two at the other end The box is made from very solid extruded aluminium
  8. I bought this very well upholstered Gator gig bag (current retail £135) for my Guild Starfire bass, but although it fits, its a bit tighter lengthwise than seems sensible, so this has barely been used. It is fairly obviously sized for a Gibson 335 guitar, but will also fit a flying V or a short-scale bass that's a fraction smaller than a Starfire Loads of padding, loads of pockets and a waterproof cover (in pocket 6 on the back, I think - depends how you count the pockets) The padding at the base of the bag can be removed (its on velcro) to give a couple of cm extra space - the quoted overall internal length is without this extra padding fitted Pickup preferred, but I will post it, although I haven't worked out what that would cost, let me know if you're interested and I'll get a price. Internal size: Overall Length: 46.1" (117.09 cm) Body Length: 25.0" (63.5 cm) Body Height: 3.5" (8.89 cm) Lower Bout Width: 17.3" (43.94 cm) Middle Bout Width: 15.4" (39.12 cm) Upper Bout Width: 13.0" (33.02 cm) Exterior Dimensions: Length: 47.8" (121.41 cm) Width: 18.3" (46.48 cm) Height: 6.9" (17.53 cm)

  9. Excellent solid and versatile active DI box from Canford Audio, only selling since I have three of these It comes with the instruction leaflet Inputs for Instrument or Amp output. Output jack for Amp input or speaker cab alongside. Balanced XLR output to mixer on the reverse. Instrument input 1.8M ohm impedance - so no loading of amp input or pickups Phantom powered off the mixer XLR or by 9v battery

  10. LA Audio high quality active DI box, very solid construction; comes with an instruction leaflet - which is worth reading since the box is deceptively versatile! This works off an 18v rail so can cope with high or low level signals. Power via phantom from your mixer or 2 x 9v batteries Usefully it has a +20db switch to increase the level of low output devices and with 1M ohm input impedance is compatible with piezo pickups The Input will work with Instrument or Speaker levels ('Pad' switch is for speaker level), isolated XLR output for your mixer and a 'link' output to take the signal on to an amp or cab A separate unbalanced output is available as well as the balanced XLR
  11. Depends if you want the Bells in real GMT or streamed (slightly delayed) time. Real time best option is VHF Radio (yes I know its almost insanely old, but it doesn't have any discernible latency) If streamed then any broadcast feed - TV, Radio etc should do the trick and you can bluetooth it into your PA from your phone/laptop/tablet thing. It won't be accurate to actual GMT, but if its the only source of the Bells available, then most people won't notice
  12. I'm definitely in for the Tier 1 challenge, but reckon that it will be almost impossible to achieve Tier 2 across an entire year. However, nothing ventured...
  13. These are absolutely brilliant keyboards. We've just bought one for our Church and it sounds fantastic.
  14. This is a boxed, fully working Alesis electronic drum/percussion unit with four pads and an external trigger - eg for a footswitch. This can be set up for a simple switch or a pukka 'drum pad'. The pads can be set up to trigger any of 25 internal sounds or files from an SD card slot - these can be any sounds you want to load onto the card, which has a maximum 32Gb storage (ie a riff or a tune as well as other percussion noises) the overall size is 29cm x 28cm, there are mounting screws on the rear of the unit. Stereo out, plus a headphone feed. Power supply included as well as instructions, but basically you hit it and it makes a noise... Postage should be about a fiver
