  1. Thanks guys. I think I'm leaning towards the the Vintage Ultra and then the B3K.
  2. Hi guys. The Line 6 has gone and the EHX and the Boss are as good as gone. I have updated the OP to reflect this. Still got the MXR and the Palmer though.
  3. In the first post mate, NE40. It's around ten minutes North of Newcastle, just as Tyne and Wear becomes Northumberland.
  4. All PMs replied to. There are queues for two of the items for sale, for transparancy's sake I've let everyone know where they are in each one. Pics of the G30 as requested by a few people. Please excuse the last sliver of electrical tape on the first photo.....

  5. Hello all, for sale are some pedals. All are in brilliant condition with the exception of velcro on the bottom. Prices include postage, but you are welcome to pick up from NE40 if you'd prefer. Cash ideal, Paypal doable (you pay the fees), trades possible but only for a Darkglass B7K Ultra or a Vintage Microtubes, we'll talk about me adding cash obviously. Palmer Deepressor £35 [s]Boss OC-2 octave £90[/s] SOLD MXR M89 Bass overdrive (with box) £80 [s]EHX Hot Tubes Nano £40 - This one includes the box too.[/s] SOLD [s]Line 6 G30 £25 - The unit works perfectly in terms of it’s function BUT the battery door on the transmitter has lost the tiny bit of plastic that latches it shut. I used this way for over a year using either electrical tape or a (clean!) sweatband to hold the battery door shut. Ideal way to try wireless on a budget.[/s] SOLD Thanks guys!
  6. I had that exact rig a long time ago. Be aware that the 1x15" cab is deeper front to back than the 4x10" combo, so you'll have to have it on the bottom. I liked it at the time, but I think knowing what I know now I'd probably have had the 2x10" combo with the 4x10" extension cab.

  7. I'll take the thumpinator? PM incoming if it's still for sale?
  8. If nobody wants it as a bass preamp it'll sell on evilbay. And it'll be bought by a child. A child who makes a youtube channel is his bedroom about video games. I want a better life for my presonus than that. You want a better life for my presonus than that too, right?
  9. Bump. It's gotta go, make me a trade offer? I like watches and computers as well as bass!
  10. Hi all, I'm looking at the B7K Ultra, the B3K, the Vintage Ultra and the Vintage Microtubes. Are the preamps simply the distortion pedals with the eq bolted on? Basically I would like unit to replace my MXR M80 which is a two channel preamp, one clean and one distortion and a separate unit to replace my MXR bass overdrive pedal. If I was to get, say the B7KU and the Vintage Microtubes, would that mean I could have a darkglass preamp, a heavy distortion and creamier overdrive? Would that set up (B7KU + VM) be any different to the opposite, the Vintage Ultra and the B3K? So confused! Thanks.
  11. [quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1487684492' post='3241798'] I don't know what your power station is, I run mine from a harley benton, but you need the polarity reverser (which comes with the smoothhound) if it is a lead that connects to a normal stomp box, and a power supply that provides over 100ma (but less than 200ma). [/quote] Are you getting away with just one of the 120mA outputs? I've got mine strecthed across two at the moment for 240mA but I'd prefer the extra output for another pedal.....
  12. [quote name='Rumple' timestamp='1487588987' post='3240886'] I've got one of [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Retrovibe-Stinger-Classic-MM-Stingray-Bass-EQ-pre-amp-2-band-pre-EB-circuit-/281890345393?var=&hash=item41a1f951b1:m:me_BZObW3Dosi0tLa1nZ6rQ"]these[/url] sitting in the bits box and have thought about putting it in to a pedal but I have no idea how to do that exactly as my electronics skills are pretty poor [/quote] You barely have to do any electronics!

  13. [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1487582492' post='3240817'] Actually, I'm almost surprised this hasn't been done before... [/quote] It has, I've seen them for sale before as cheap ones on ebay and then places like Master Effects have built a few. It's a simple project to do yourself or have someone build one for you.
  14. Hi! For sale is one Presonus Studio Channel rackmount channel strip. It's a very clear, studio-quality channel strip that shines with bass but it will obviously accept any instrument into the hi-z or microphones into the lo-z inputs. It's got a very high-gain preamp, then a tube stage, then switchable compressor and parametric eq, then another gain stage. Loads of ins and outs, phantom power, 80Hz HPF, everything really. If you want more information then [url="http://www.presonus.com/products/Studio-Channel"]the official page is here[/url]. When I bought it it was described as unused and I bought it for a rack rig idea that I kind of lost interest in. Don't judge me, we've all done it. So it is still as good as new and it comes with all of the box, psu, manuals, etc etc. I'm based about 10 minutes North of Newcastle and I'm happy to deliver locally. It's reasonably small so postage could work, let me know and I'll check prices to your location. Trades? Well, nothing particular, feel free to try though.
  15. Hello everyone, Up for sale is my Hartke cab. This is a 1x12" that used to be a Kickback combo but it is now a 1x12" wedge cabinet. "Where did the head go?" I hear you ask. No idea! It was like that when I bought it. This has been in my rehearsal room for a few months and I've been using it with a GK MB150E or a GK MBF, both to great effect. It's an ideal little stage monitor or practice cab and it could definitely cover small gigs, they wind up pretty far if you hit them with enough juice! 150W, 6ohms, 1x12", wedge, Pickup or delivery from about 10 minutes north of Newcastle. Would I post it? Yes! Is it going to be worth it? Probably not! Thanks!
  16. [quote name='Chienmortbb' timestamp='1487503493' post='3240211'] Jack every cabinet from Behringer to Bergantino and Barefaced are compromises. There is no such thing as a mathematically perfect cabinet but some are better than others and some suit some people more than others. [/quote] Oh of course, I appreciate that fact and I know it was a sweeping generalisation. The point is though, there are a new breed of cabs that have been designed to cut through the marketing bull (admittedly just with different marketing bull!) that as far as I know started with Bill and has continued with the likes of Fearful. Cabs that were designed by engineers, if you will, rather than marketers. My point was that these newer, better-engineered (though ok, not perfect) cabs haven't exactly replaced GK, Markbass and Ashdown. So there's room for both.
  17. Hey, my barefaced cabs are mathematically perfect. Good dispersion, designed to work well together etc etc etc. I do however, love Ampeg fridges and Hartke 4x10", two of the worst-designed cabs ever. This cab won't be good as in 'efficient, ideal power handling, getting the most out of the drivers' good. But it might very well be good as in 'sounds great that!'.
  18. [quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1487090198' post='3236953']The BP102 needs at least twice the volume you allocated to work well.[/quote] [quote name='The Shrek' timestamp='1487096434' post='3237065']How much bigger would the cab need to be?[/quote] Same cab, seal one hole and use 1 speaker?? I assume the 4 ohm load wouldn't be ideal for your combo though.....
  19. I've just spent AGES putting together a Presonus and power amp rig, and I live ten minutes outside of Newcastle! AGES! Gutted mate, gutted. Good luck with the sale though!
  20. I bought two Roqsolid ones for the cabs that I bought, they're great. I then bought another Barefaced (used) that came wit a Roqsolid cover and it's nowhere near as good. Odd.
  21. [quote name='fftc' timestamp='1486383144' post='3231228'] I'm using a Behringer Micromix 4 channel powered mixer just now if I want to play along with something. And I have one of the early Vox Amplugs as another option. I'm just looking for the next step up really. [/quote] Fair enough. Then count me as a +1 for the GK MB200. I have two GK heads and three barefaced cabs, something along those lines would do you well.
  22. For home practice with headphones and an aux in I always use a little mixer. I have a soundcraft compact and a brhinger xenyx, both of which are brilliant. That would be around £30 used or £70 new, so loads left later when you need a proper amp.
  23. Please excuse the blue cable, black one ordered! [attachment=237385:IMAG0512.jpg]
  24. You'd be surprised how little bass you need to hear a bass guitar. There's not a whole lot going on below 50Hz for most of us, and if you're a Rickenbacker/plectrum kind of guy there probably isn't a great deal below 200Hz. Having said that, I assume that if you're thinking about going the route you probably have decent foh subs? If so then you'll hear plenty of LF sound from those and then pick up the detail from the monitor. Unless your stage is HUGE then this normally works really well.
  25. Either head and one or two cabs depending. It's a pretty rubbish picture but there are: GK MB Fusion GK MB150E Barefaced Midget x 2 Barefaced Compact
