Smoothhound wireless system, 2.4GHz band. Works perfectly, comes boxed with PSU inside and instructions. A bit more sophisticated than the plug-n-play stuff, but just as easy to use. I'll post at cost (less than a fiver I'd expect) or pickup from Uxbridge area -
Soundcraft Signature 10 mixer for sale, excellent condition, all features and signal paths working Until recently my recording interface with my PC - via the USB connection which gives 2-Track capability. Loads of useful features: Six mic inputs with switched phantom power High pass filters Limiters on Channels 1 & 2 HiZ inputs for instruments on Channels 3 & 4 Three band equalisation with swept mid band Channels 5/6 and 7/8 can be used as stereo inputs or returns Channels 9/10 act as return from the PC when using it as a recorder Built-in Lexicon effects Two Aux sends, switchable pre/post fader as well as the FX send buss etc. etc. All in all a high level of functionality with a very user-friendly interface Pickup from Uxbridge area, or I will post at cost. -
My neat, little, but chunky, BH250 for sale, excellent cosmetic condition, all working perfectly. A solid state amp that has mostly lived indoors and been well looked after. The built-in tuner is useful and the TonePrint feature enables you to download and check out a whole host of effects. Comes with a mains lead. Postage at cost if you want me to mail it to you. -
A Very Happy Easter to all too. We finished with Phil Wickham's 'Living Hope' - a bit of an earworm of a chorus to send everyone out

It is Lemmy's own bass (allegedly, but why not?) the outline is slightly obscured by the strap hanging over it. I'm not a Rick afficionado, but I guess it was customised to what he wanted (three humbuckers, gold fittings), as opposed to the signature model which is, as you rightly point out, more decorative, but a distinctly different instrument. As I was trying to find out where the bass came from I discovered that if you want a 'knock-off' Lemmy bass from Ali Express it will set you back a grand total of £413. Fine if you only want to hang it on the wall I suppose.

Maybe a little known fact, but the Marshall factory (Milton Keynes, Bucks) has a small 'museum' of amps, guitars etc in and around reception. Although it is primarily for the guitar nerds, in amongst the Les Pauls and Bluesman amps are a few pieces of Bass memorabilia, with pride of place going to the irredeemably individual Lemmy.

I've been trying to avoid watching the news recently, but I think I may have seen your talking donkey?
-
If it did, I missed it; possibly my error. just got a message saying I should have ‘opted out’ when I listed - which is no longer possible.
-
I just got caught out by the ‘Simple Shipping’ - featuring a mandatory charge for ‘insurance’ taken from my account and also mandatory shipping cost deduction. Problem being that the EBay postage details were wrong so I not only had to pay for shipping I couldn’t use, but purchase another label for the correct weight and size. Not happy 😡
-
Agreed. I was probably being a little too oblique when I said “sonically interesting“ 🤔
-
You may have already discovered that you will get twice the power going into the 4 ohm cab as you get going into the 8 ohm cab. Sonically quite interesting since it’s the 15” speakers that will be working hardest.
-
Oh yes. Good point, I didn't see that. My, but its going to be a very 'live' band area with all that brickwork and the hard floor - or are you going to be allowed some furnishing?
-
Looks great but is that an odd perspective, or are the ceiling speakers set behind the lectern/podium?

Question about Trace Elliot ELF
Suburban Man replied to Dien_Verstraete's topic in PA set up and use
I used an Elf for a while, DI output didn’t affect speaker output at all, -
All above is good advice (balanced dynamic mics are fine with phantom power) You asked about plugging dynamic mics into the jack sockets? On your mixer those are line level inputs so there wouldn’t be enough gain for a mic.

Whilst not wishing to put temptation in the path of a fellow musician (but immediately doing so…) I have a nice Sansamp for sale Just call me Wormtongue 🙀

Strictly for plectrum players who wish to solo but can’t stoop to a “guitar” in my opinion. Of course I may be biased…

Help please - Using passive bass bins with active speakers
Suburban Man replied to missis sumner's topic in PA set up and use
Can I assume that you are mixing in mono? If so, and you are feeling creative (you may not be!) you do have the option of running the active full-range speakers from the two left outputs and the bins from the two right outputs (just a jack-XLR adaptor or similar cable required) That way by shifting the pan control left or right you can alter the amount of any channel that is running to either set of speakers. Full left = Titans only, Full right = Peavey bass bins only, central = 50/50 split It would enable you to run the bass-heavy channels more into the bass bins and vocals (for instance) only into the full range Titans. Not a perfect solution at all, but would cost less than a tenner to try out... -
As stated earlier, whatever you do don't use standard, solid core cat 5/6 cable - whichis meant to be fixed in place and not move. What you need is stranded core cable with a strong outer like this stuff - BELDEN 1303EPU CAT 6A DATA CABLE Stranded conductor - Deployable Neutrik also do a nice range of XLR-like plugs and sockets for cat5/6 cables, so you can run the van over them and still do the gig.

I was more worried that I'd start blasting out the audio from 'Love Island'... 🤔
-
The UHF band is pretty full (DTT TV, amateur radio, radio mic systems) and I can’t find which band of channels the Lekato uses. Therefore I’m slightly wary. Good to know that in a year’s use you haven’t had any problems. If I can find the exact frequencies I’ll post them.
-
Lekato WS-70 I know that its UHF, which can be problematic for interference, but the small size and ease of operation swung it for me.
-
Just squeezed a wireless system into 2024 (December 29th). That was close.
-
I'm in (although I didn't last long last year 😞) 2025 is definitely a year to sell rather than buy and NOT be tempted by 'bargains' that aren't actually going to help the business of playing
