    Speakon connectors are superior in every way, but the Elf doesn't have one. You can use a lead that is either jack>jack or jack>speakon depending what your cab has. Our very own OBBM will make you whatever you need.

    Mojo Mojo sold, other still remaining. No sensible offer refused.

    £900 each. This is it until I get a £1 selling on ebay. To celebrate, here's a photo of one in a rare outing as a PA cab rather than a bass cab.

    Pedaltrain spark, AMT cab sim and TC MojoMojo added.

    Hello all, Continuing my great clear out I have decided to sell my beloved Pearl Blue Bongo. Standard fair for a Bongo means: HH config, 18V preamp, 4 band eq, skinny neck, thunderous sound, chip on the headstock! I firmly believe that EBMM are the best basses you can get that come from production lines and aren't hand made and this one is no exception. It's a stunning bass that looks and sounds amazing. The only flaw is the aforementioned chip on the very long and very pointy headstock and a tiny line (dent? Indent? dimple? not quite a scratch?) in the neck laquer at the first fret. The location of this means that you don't feel it when playing and it's barely noticeable anyway. It has just been set up by the Bass Doc, it comes with Dunlop straplocks, the original strap pins, white and grey pearl pickgaurds and the EBMM case. I'm near Newcastle if anyone wants to come and it them out. I can post quite happily, but I can't imagine that it'll be cheap in the hard case. I'm also happy to deliver pretty much anywhere in the North East for petrol money. Lastly, my brother lives in Northallerton so delivering them around that area isn't a problem. Cash is, as always, preferred but I could be persuaded to trade, let me know what you've got. I'm especially interested in: HX Stomp Shure GLXD16 Strymon Zuma R300 QSC K12.2 Sire Jazz V2 (maple, sunburst) P bass (maple, sunburst) Lastly, whilst these photos are fine, I'll get nicer ones up asap.

    Standard 'tuner, dirt, preamp' Nano. Hey, it may not be original but it works.

    Any relatively neutral bass amp should suffice for acoustic guitar, bass amps tend to have tweeters and so they go quite high. What about something like an Eich or Tecamp combo? Even something like Genz Benz? All can be had quite cheap these days. You did mention a 'healthy' budget though and a few companies make general purpose amps that are designed for things like EUB or cellos or whatever, they'd be perfect for bass and acoustic guitar. Unfortunately, you'll have to be pretty damn healthy. AER Amp One, Schertler Jam One, Acus One For Bass. They're small, light and (at least the AER) sound unbelievable, but obviously you do lose out on overall volume, they're only small combos. EDIT - No affiliation or endorsement from me, but one of our own is selling a Schertler. 14.2kg apparently.

    Nevermind, I'm an idiot.

    Bump, some pictures from a scooter rally over the weekend. Come on, somebody on here needs this before it goes to the great unwashed on ebay. 😁
  11. Jack
    Mine went through straight away, normal delivery and no Swedish postage. You're not behind a vpn or something that might mask your location? Although, that wouldn't explain why it thought the bag was in Sweden...
  12. Jack
    They're open to custom orders, I'm sure they'll do that for you.

    Happy to do a swap? I'm going the other way.

    EDIT - This thread originally included a lot of accessories which have now sold, Helix and floor control unit is £950 Hello all, As part of my constant gear merry go round I am selling my Line 6 Helix. I'm looking to downsize and consolidate some gear, mainly because I'm gigging less now and when I do we have full PA support. So to that end: Line 6 Helix Rack + Floor Control Mint condition top-flight modelling unit. Not only has this Helix spent its entire life in a rack but it's had strain relief connectors on every cable (see photos) and it's always been used with a wireless unit and a control pedal, it's barely even been touched! I'm a bass player but obviously this is just as good with guitar. This is the king of the Helix family and has every feature under the sun. Why am I selling it if I rate it so highly? Well because I'm barely tickling the surface of what it can do and so I'm moving it on. Unit is boxed with manuals and I've never used the $99 native deal although I have registered the Helix for the warranty. I even still have the Helix USB key. I'm near Newcastle if anyone wants to come and try it out. I can post it quite happily, message me and we'll work out a courier price. I'm also happy to deliver pretty much anywhere in the North East for petrol money. Lastly, my brother lives in Northallerton so delivering them around that area isn't a problem.  Cash is, as always, preferred but I could be persuaded to trade, let me know what you've got. I'm especially interested in: Sire Jazz V2 Fender Rumble Stage 2x10" Cabinet Maple/Sunburst P bass Warwick Schecter Spector Shure GLXD16 try me, I'll take pretty much any bass that will be easy to sell on
  15. Jack
    Well I can do you a pretty brilliant deal on a rack helix and floor controller? That's kind of like a floor helix! 😀
  16. Jack
    Unwithdrawn. As per the OP, please do take Dunc's cab's first if at all possible. They'll be on here until the next time ebay sends me a £1 listing fee coupon, then they'll be on there. Please don't make me do that! Helix and wireless also for sale in a thread that I haven't put up yet but please do PM me if you're interested.

    I was actually just talking about the OP's name still. Comb filtering is just one issue that can possibly plague mixed cabs. They'll have a different frequency response, different power handling abilities, different phase characteristics (hell, they may actually be totally opposite polarity), different delays, different maximum volumes, different impedance curves and, most of all, they'll sound different. Depending on exactly which cabs one's using it might be that none of them are a problem, it might be that all of them are. Mixing odd cabs is perhaps not the cardinal sin that it's sometimes made out to be here, but I still facepalm when I read some of the things that people know that they know about cabs that simply aren't true. For instance, I don't pretend to know which 4x10" and 1x15" you've got, so I believe what you say about the 15" filling out the low end, but I haven't personally heard a rig yet where that's true. All of the ones I've played the 4x10" has so much more volume that it's actually capable of more maximum bass output, even though it's frequency response is leaner on the low end. I bet good money you'd have gotten even more bass if you'd added another 4x10" instead.

    I did find it funny that the OP's handle is 'Combed'. That's not true. There's lots about speakers that seem counterintuitive, comb filtering is one of them.
  19. Jack
    Most amps provide more power into a lower impedance, which is what you get when you add an extra cab. The 208 is something like 125W with its internal speakers and 250W with an 8R extension cab. Watch it with the cabs though, by the sounds of it your band isn't very loud but I really do mean that the amp head (and presumably most extension cabinets) will quite happily play loud, it's the 2x8"s actually in the combo that are the limiting factor. Have you seen these cabs for sale??
  20. Jack
    I found the amp head very capable, to the point where it could actually drive my BF midget enough that the internal speakers couldn't keep up. Great combo, wish I hadn't sold mine sometimes.

    That would undoubtedly help your band infinitely more than you buying a helix would. To address you 'divergence issue: with the Helix software on PC you can copy and paste individual blocks. So you can tweak an amp in one preset and then c/p it to other patches. You can c/p blocks using the actual helix too, but I'm not sure I've ever done that between patches.
  23. Jack
    I think the floor kemper looks great! I switched to a helix because of the effects. The amps on the kemper really are indistinguishable from the real ones (I profiled a few of mine) but the effects are very basic and the routing within a patch is limited. Amps? Kemper! Versatility? Helix.
  24. Jack
    Yeah you're right I think it's very variable, some of mine do and some don't. Either way they're usually not very accurate. OP, you can use an ammeter and a 9v if you really want to know but to be honest even that's not accurate because (even though you can measure precisely) the pedal's draw will change depending on knob settings and playing conditions, duty cycle, blah blah. There's also the indefinable 'is my psu any good?' to think about. I fully believe Strymon when they say the Ojai does 5x500mA. I'm not so sure about the far eastern sellers on ebay selling units for £6 or £7.
  25. Jack
    Output of power supply (written on the power supply) - (Current draw of pedal tuner + draw of filter + draw of compressor + draw of valve OD (apparently 150mA) + some taking into account a safety margin and the quality of the power supply) != >0 All of your pedals will have a current draw written on them, but this is usually a totally worst case. This list might help.
