  1. Ian is American isn't he?
  2. Yes. It would be best to remove the low end from the tops somehow, especially as they are on the budget end.
  3. Better range and less liable to fall out if the line of sight is blocked.
  4. I doubt that the thru output will be processed, it'll just be straight. I've used Alto stuff, it's good budget gear. What are the tops?
  5. They've mentioned before that they get stick for not mentioning Warwick as well. I guess they mention what they want and what they like, it's probably not a diss.
  6. Sorry for the derail: is that the series 2? Am I right in thinking that the gain control is cut only? Or can you boost the volume level as well?
  7. I've got QSC, been in bands with RCF and Alto, used Yamaha at my last school. Two decent 12s or (even 10s) with a 15" or an 18" sub is the sweet spot ime.
  8. Sorry but as a watch nerd I'd like to point out that the Timex will keep much better time.
  9. You'd think this was a plumbing forum.
  10. Thanks both. I like the Status rounds on more aggressive basses, just making sure. And I deleted some attachments to show this.
  11. Ok, that's pretty much as I understood it then, they are linked but there's a limit.
  12. Ok, I'll take one for the team. I would assume that those specs are somewhat linked, with the amount of gain on tap allowing you essentially a better chance of reaching the required output level. Obviously, this depends on the input. Can you elaborate a little more please?
  13. Are we allowed questions in here or just for showing? If it's allowed then I have a '91 thumb with the brass frets. Will stainless steel rounds 'hurt' it? Conflicting statements online about whether brass frets are longer lasting or not vs others. Thanks! I have tried to post an image, but it seems nothing quite sneaks under the upload limit and the imgur link won't do anything. Downer.
  14. The cheapest way to get a really beefy signal are the Behringer (mic100) or Rolls (mp13) units.
  15. I sold my Spector Euro to shemeckfrac in March 2025. Quick payment, smooth communication, excellent all around.
  16. Having a small clearout on the basis that I'm a massive hoarder. All of the below excludes postage, so you are encouraged to pick up from my house (between Newcastle and Wylam) or from my office (central Newcastle) ideally. However I can be really reasonable with postage, especially if combining, so please get in touch. I can also deliver if you're quite local. I think I have priced everything on the low end of sensible using BC and ebay previous prices, but do feel free to make offers if you think I've got it wrong. It's safe to assume that everything below is in perfectly working condition, and unless otherwise noted everything is in good physical/cosmetic condition too. I have pedals and accessories for sale also. Photos can be found here. Rode NTG2 - £90 Link. Excellent shotgun mic. We use these at work (where I do training videos, so voiceover work and talking head stuff mostly) and they are great for that. So I bought one for myself. But at home I don't really do anything that needs a shotgun mic. So now I'm selling it. Monacor Optogate PB-05e x2 - £75 each Link. Using optogates live, especially for backing vocalists, was pretty much the smartest thing I ever did. If you don't know what they are, they are an infrared sensor and mic switch. When you walk up to the microphone (you can set the distance) the mic turns on instantly. When you walk away the mic gets muted. It's like a physical noise gate. No fussing with input levels and release times or anything. I have mostly moved over to the metal ones, so selling my remaining two plastic ones. Requires phantom power to switch but not to pass signal, so if you forget phantom power or it breaks then the mic fails safe and is just switched on all the time. Klark Teknik CT1 Preamp - £15 Link. Apply phantom power, things get loud. Specifically they get 25dB louder. Great for weak mics like the SM7B or anything else with low output. Koenig and Meyer Microphone Stand Weight - £10 Link. (I probably can't post this for anything near the price difference between this an a new one, so collection only I'm afraid) I appreciate it looks like a testicle stretcher. But it's actually to counterbalance heavy microphones and the like. It's a 21105-000-55 if you want it's Sunday name. Millennium PP2B Phantom Power Supply - £15 Link. Uses batteries or included psu to power up to two phantom powered devices. Millennium SP31 XLR Splitter - £15 Link. Mic/Line/DI splitter, anything with an XLR really! One input and three outputs. Passes phantom power if needed.

It's safe to assume that everything below is in perfectly working condition, and unless otherwise noted everything is in good physical/cosmetic condition too. Pedalboard items have velcro underneath. If you fancy any actual effects pedals then check out my other for sale thread. Photos can be found here. Shure GLXD16 x2 - £300 each. I've had one of these on each board for years, but I no longer use the boards and so the wirelesses are going too. In excellent condition bearing in mind they've been stood on. On things to note are the velcro, the slightly loose cable cover on one transmitter (common on these, surprised it hasn't happened on both) and some slight wear on the transmitter belt clips. Pedaltrain Nano x2 - £40 good condition, £30 well used. Used but fully functional. There's a dent in one of them and they have lived on the floor a lot but they're solid. Come with softcase. Cioks Adam - £60 Excellent power supply. Will come with a suite of cioks leads as well as the IEC cable. Cioks Grip - £10 Can be used to help mount Cioks power supplies.
  18. Hi all. Like most of us, I have a lot of bass gear. I recently filled in for a mate's heavy rock band (Stingray and Spector, distortion, loud) for a few gigs and also started playing out with my acoustic lounge trio (fretless EB and EUB, clean, very quiet) more and I realised that for both very different gigs I just went for my Quad Cortex. I only really used my HX Stomp in my previous band because the patches were already built and the board was already put together. Anyway, this is turning into an online recipe and you don't need this much backstory but the point is that I realised that I have gear that I use and gear that I don't, and the gear that I don't is going.

It's safe to assume that everything below is in perfectly working condition, and unless otherwise noted everything is in good physical/cosmetic condition too. Pedals have velcro underneath. Accessories (such as the power supplies and boards, as well as DIs etc) can be found in my other for sale threads. Photos can be found here. MXR M80 Preamp - £110 I've had this since new and it was my first pedal preamp. In fact I believe that it was pretty much the second (at least mass-market) pedal preamp after the Sansamp. Modern, clean tone with huge low end and also a second distortion channel. Temporarily removed from sale, let me know if you're interested and I can add you to the queue or this will be back up in a few days. Sansamp Paradriver DI v2 - £150 My favorite pedal preamp and for a long time this was the mainstay of my analogue rig. Fantastic on bass, just as good on other things. Like a BDDI but less of an inherent mid scoop and more punch. Comes with the box and manual. Temporarily removed from sale, let me know if you're interested and I can add you to the queue or this will be back up in a few days. Line 6 HX Stomp - £420 And the mainstay of my digital rig for a long time! Not sure what to say about this to be honest, it's become the standard modeller for bassists for a reason. Optional extra foot switch below. Brightonion Mini DMFS - £25 I bought this as custom order (1 of 3 that I have done, I do love James' stuff...) before he made specific HX Stomp footswitches. TRS, dual momentary, works with a variety of effects but ideal for HX Stomp. Brightonion Pedalboard Controller - £65 A memory of my 'big pedalboard' days. This was another custom order and is a variation on the 'AB pedal with loop, buffer and tuner'. The customisations that I asked for were to have the buffer always on and to make both outputs switchable rather than always on. So this is now a one stop I/O option for a pedalboard. Signal flow is Input A/B switchable > buffer > switchable loop > output A/B on separate switches. My use case was to switch between wireless and wired basses on the input, have all my pedals in the loop that I could on/off all at once, and to have the outputs go to an always on tuner and my amp, with the ability to mute the amp output. Other uses are of course manifold. Buzz Electronics Double Patch Pedal - £15 Inputs and outputs for your board. Keeps cables tidy, reduces strain on expensive pedals, that kind of thing. Link. Behringer BDI21 - £15 Sansamp clone. Sounds the same but made from plastic. TC Electronic MojoMojo (boxed) - £30 Excellent low-gain and transparent overdrive. SOLD Harley Benton CPT-20 (boxed) - £10 SOLD Mini pedal tuner. To be honest, it's an excellent mini pedal tuner. Behringer TU300 - £15 Normal sized pedal tuner!
  19. It's the end of the first verse phrase that always got me. I have to confess to just playing the second half of the verse twice on a few occasions. The "A . . . B . . ." is a lot easier on the fingers than that run up the d string.
  20. Whilst singing lead and jumping around to boot.
  21. Well, that would have been a tempting trade! Good luck with the sale. And by that I mean I hope you get to keep it.
  22. Excellent role model and one of my early reasons to get a Stingray, even though I later found out that it was a Sterling... You need a pick, an SVT and a lot of practice to sound like that though, it's more than just the bass.
