Trades? Something might get my attention! 

£1100

SOLD 

Well I got it but my time leading to retirement is hectic, no rush, it will still be there in 4 weeks 

Taking early retirement soon (end of May) where you used to get a carriage clock or a gold watch, we now get points that can be converted into vouchers 

so after enjoying my novation circuit I decided to go a step further and treat myself to an MPC one +
was also because I wanted to use more electric pianos and other things that were probably doable on the novation, but easier on MPC

and also because, I’m worth it 🤣

points were converted into Amazon vouchers and it was purchased along with a 128gb SD card, arrived Saturday as I’m out all day tomorrow

Korg Volca Keys Analogue Loop Synthesizer

Bought as a gift for my partner, mid December, but changed my mind and bought something else for her

I put batteries in it and turned it on, that’s it

I also bought a power supply as I didn’t have the correct polarity supply, that will be included 

I still have receipt should the new owner need to use the warranty

Interesting, being thinking about this but haven’t go started yet. 
 

How do you find it? Tell us more please. For instance how did you find the circuit tracks? How easy is it to connect different brand and sync them?

 

 

I found the CT really easy, followed a few videos on YouTube and got the hang of it

Tracks 1&2 are the internal synth, it’s very novation sounding (I have an ultranova)

Tracks 5,6,7&8 are drum / sample tracks, plenty of sounds and packs can be added if you have an SD card using Components software 

Tracks 3&4 are midi so they control the Roland SE-01 and Korg volca

The audio from the Roland and volca go back into the CT so can b mixed in with the other tracks so you don’t need a mixer unless you add more synths 

For me it’s better using a keyboard like the Arturia, but it needs to be set up right so the CT is the main clock for when using the arp’

Also, I can’t play the ext synths with the arturia yet, just waiting for midi merge and midi thru boxes to arrive

Then I’m putting it all, except the keyboard, on a cheap pedal board with all the cables, including power, tucked underneath 

Hope that helps

Detaching myself from my Mac and all the other stuff that makes up my DAW is something I really liked the idea of, so have recently got myself a few bits and pieces that can make a kind of portable set up, that I can use anywhere in the house 

And in the garden once it warms up 

it’s been good learning how to use a standalone sequencer and also delving into midi deeper than I’ve ever needed too!

Picture of everything laid out whilst I worked through a few problems

Should all be nice and neat today, providing my midi thru and midi merger arrive

Bought this album back in 1980 when I was 15

Paul Grays first album with The Damned

Playing a Ric’ 4000 (correct me if I’m wrong)

If you’ve not heard it, it’s the band starting to head off in different directions, but you got to check out the live side of this double album (I play the vinyl a lot, hence the vinyl reference)

Especially Smash it up part 1, the bass sounds so good and is right up there 

Thanks, I did see that

looking to see if anybody else had tried one for a few different perspectives 

I know it’s been mentioned a couple of times, but I really like the look of the Ashdown Roasted Capri

Ticks a lot of boxes for somebody like me who  has been contemplating trying SS!

Not a road I’ve ever been down for very long, apart from the odd bass I bought on a whim many years ago

Anybody got one?

Cheers

Ooooft ORANGE

Not a good colour!

and that’s coming from someone who owns a yellow car 😳

The latest offering in the Sadowsky Metro Express range 

I posted this in the GB owners group on FB earlier today

Bernie replied

Haven’t seen that bass for many years. It’s not a Rumour. I made it to the customers spec and is the only one of its kind. If I remember correctly it has or had two D tuners fitted. It couldn’t be made now for anything like the asking price.

its a bit special! Good luck with the sale 

Ian king has a YouTube channel where he talks you through the various jobs he gets

A recent one was for ITV’s New Years Big Bash at Wembley Arena. It’s a good insight into what’s involved when you are doing that sort of thing 

Surprised this is still here, I have one that was once the exact same colour, but it got resprayed in lockdown

These don’t come up often and sound great 

£1150 ONO 

I’ve got one of these from around same period 

sounds great and lightweight too! 
someone’s going to get a nice bass 

Have a box so can be posted 

House Of Tone Jazz Bass Pick Ups 
These are the 62 wind version of these pickups from this well respected brand

Spare Off white pick up covers included 

From House Of Tone website

'62 and 70's style J-bass pickups use flat Alnico V magnets with original spacing for the bridge and neck positions. Plenty of spank and more forward mids on the bridge and a big yet clear neck. As with all our pickups it’s all about the articulation and balance between the strings. The '62s have a touch more mids and gain while the 70's is a bit less aggressive with more presence and upper mids due to the lower resistance. Cloth covered hook up for '62 or vintage correct plastic for 70's. Available in black or white covers. 5 string models available as well. DCR: '62 8.2K bridge, 7.8K neck, 70's 7.6k bridge, 7.2K neck.*RWRP

Or simply put, one is needing money when the other is trying to make some...

It wasn’t so much about the price, more that two came up, but it is that time of the year! 

Not sure where to post this so ……

Two of these popped up on FB marketplace today

One at £800 and one at £495!

The guy selling at £800 is getting a bit of stick!

The £495 bass is in Gateshead 

Theres that old saying ‘Like buses’

it is FB marketplace though, so both could be total b@ll&cks 😳
