All gone!

Saturday bump...

Hi All,

am selling a couple of things for the usual reasons - thought I'd offer them here before the bay...

Shuttle 6.0: 1 year old, pristine, no issues.

£425

Mark Bass 102p 8ohm with cover (ex beedster...) also excellent nick

£320

OR....£700 the pair collected plus I'll throw in a long Speakon cable.

If needed, can deliver - free if sort of local, otherwise we can discuss.

If you want the gear couriered, I'll do it at cost - you can choose the courier, if you like, or I'll get the best rate I can.

These have hardly been used in anger this past year - maybe 3 or 4 gigs - mostly just my practice rig. Really good kit - but you know that - work well together and super portable, which was why I got them in the first place.

Any questions, more pix, PM me.

Collection from Barnet, N London or Canterbury.

cheers for looking.

Got a Discumbobulator and Small Stone from Daryl - absolute gent - really quick, easy transaction, all good - fair prices too. I'm a happy camper!

cheers

PM'd re discumbobulator

I have tried Guitar Rig, Live and Mainstage - of those, Guitar rig is straightforward, but doesn't do anything better than analogue gear, Mainstage still feels a bit 'beta" to me - though I am a big fan of Logic otherwise -plus I have experienced some switch lag and you need a fast Mac for it. Live IMO has most to offer as a creative tool for performance. I have ended up using analogue gear for everything except 'experimental' performance, when I use Live - its more reliable and has no latency issues .

Of course you could check out MAXMSP which is really fun - btw - apologies if you know all this - but if you like wiring stuff up to see what happens its the best option- you can get a 30 day trial - its been around for ages and Cycling74 has a lot of good links to resources - otherwise there is MAX for Live - I haven't tried it yet but will soon - looks like a good implementation of the 2 apps.

Couple of other points - I'd avoid USB audio interfaces - Firewire units are cheap enough now and you avoid latency issues (though I realise USB3 is coming and fewer laptops have FW400 etc). Last thing is its really useful to have a rudimentary midi switching pedalboard - if you are tempted by the seeming cheapness and versatility of the Behringer fcb1010 - as I was - you'd best be prepared for a LOT of messing about to get everything working happily - I'd suggest you start by simply switching the digital FX in and out then look at adding dynamic control later - depending on your needs and software. I jumped a bit too quickly into multiple midi switching, pedals etc - big mistake!

Worth trying though - good luck!

I had a CS1 years ago - hardly subtle, from what I remember - also coloured the sound a lot, but good if you wanted the one thing it did well - oodles of sustain and a brutally squidged attack.

These days I use an Ego Squasher form Brian Wampler - although this is pitched primarily at country guitarists, it works very well with basses - the latest one has a tone control too, which I guess might be a good addition, mine is an earlier model - I like the blend facility and variable attack - I can get the old CS1 squash if needed, or Ross-type sounds - but lots more besides. True bypass and well made. If you do get one, you get a good discount if you sign up for the news letter.

Having a clear out - Guitar Rig 2 plus rig Kontrol - all manuals, leads, disks plus foot controller. Good condition. Works with other versions of Guitar Rig if you want to upgrade. Reason its going is because I use logic and the latest version has superb plug in fx. Rig Kontrol is well made, Aluminium body, metal pedal. Decent enough audio interface - though USB but good as a practice setup through a computer. Has 2in, 2 out, 2 pedal jacks, MIDI + 1/4in headphone out.

£105 posted or £100 collected from Barnet N London.

Otherwise I'd happily trade it for a decent envelope follower - Emma, Subdecay etc cash adjustment if necessary.

cheers

This is the Kontrol - will post some pix of mine tomorrow - its all in good nick.

great job!
as said above, nice detail.

Beautiful PJ!

thanks for making me wonder how I could afford something like that...

I'll take the Audio Technica ATH-T2 Headphones assuming they are in OK condition?

bump and its off to the bay today.

There's The Gear Page - which is mainly but not exclusively guitars - American-centric but with a fair few Brits, I've found people there helpful, lots of posters..

Man - that's a lovely guitar at a great price - I have an ASAT classic S and would buy this in a heartbeat if money allowed. G&L are so much nicer than the vast majority of Fenders - but unfortunately relatively few people are aware of them and their history.

Good luck with the sale!

Hi -
Complete Apple Logic Studio for sale. All Disks, manuals and box. Logic pro 8 etc - you can read the specs from Apple etc. This is a complete, legit, transferable box set, 6 months old. The reason I'm selling is because I am an academic and one of the small perks of the job is I get cheap software for personal/educational use, however there is no discounted upgrade available for academics from Logic 8 > 9 - crazy though it seems its cheaper for me to buy Logic 9 outright. So I'm selling this to part fund the new box. I have read the EULA with the software and it is perfectly fine for me to sell and for you to re-register - I guess if you then want to upgrade to 9 you can go ahead as normal, though frankly 8 is very good - its just that I am a complete sucker for discounted new software - plus I REALLY like the new time stretching and sample instrument creation tools. The upgrade price is £159.00 so if you want to go that way that's the latest version for £259.00 in stead of £399.

See rubbish photo - its all there - Soundtrack, samples, software instruments etc - Disks used once only to install, Manuals are also as new. Mac OS X only - but you knew that!

If nobody's interested I'll put it on ebay next week. If you want to collect from Barnet £90.00 or I'll pack and post for £100.

edit - sorry bounced it w/o percussion. Fixed fwiw.

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='586499' date='Sep 1 2009, 01:39 PM']Played my new Shuker Jazz at Colne Blues Fest yesterday - I'm absolutely ecstatic with it. It's everything I've been looking for in a bass...

Lovely!

I really like the headstock shape Jon has chosen for these - overall you have one very classy bass there - but you know that.

Is that the one which was on the stock page earlier this year? If so I SO wanted it - ended up with the white one I posted earlier in this thread - which turned out to be just right for me. But - if I could afford a second one...
Btw, do you like the Delanos - they were a revelation for me - very clean, quiet with good tonal range.

WOW! bargain for someone - wish I had more cash....all I need is 1Traveller 210 and sadly (or wisely) seller wants it to go as a complete rig. Ho hum.

I have a Shuttle 6 and experienced a some sporadic distortion when the amp was sitting on a cab - once taken off all was fine - figured it might be microphonics from the preamp tube - got in touch with Bass Merchant asked if I'd void the warranty by swapping tubes, they said no - so I put in a replacement tube and have had no problems since.

PM on the pedalboard

Here's mine - nothing too fancy. As posted in gear porn a while back. Bought based on recommendations and a phone call to Mr Shuker, who said I could return it if I was unhappy - I'm not - its the nicest jazz I have ever played.

Thanks for the link - something else to practice!
j

Wow - you got a serious bargain there - congratulations!

- I'm only a bit jealous cos I just paid £549 for one - still its a great little amp.

Re the manual - its not hugely informative - You have probably seen you can get it online at Genz Benz. FYI the only thing which wasn't totally obvious (to me anyhow) was that you don't have to have a speaker load on the amp if you want to DI it.

Fabulous indeed!
I love the way he uses just occasional slaps/pops for emphasis in his lines - and as you say, he couldn't be more in the pocket.
thanks for the link.
