  1. Excellent condition (pedal almost ‘as new’, box is a little more beaten) MXR Studio Comp. This is famously EXACTLY the same circuit as the MXR Bass Comp, but with a different enclosure. MXR did this to sell it more effectively to the guitar market. To be fair, I think it looks smarter than the Bass Comp. This is MXR’s take on an 1176 comp I believe. Not much else to say, solid pedal, nice transparent sound, effective compression. Cool. £120 inc UK postage. No trades unless you have a Guild Starfire II in ‘Natural’ or a Sire P5R 5 string in white (+money your way of course 😅). Cheers Si
  2. 24v, 1.25 mA And this connector: Si
  3. If that’s all you need for your musical output, awesome! You could just use one of the Pedaltrain pedal risers, the PB2, which seems to fit the Shure and the switch (if the internet is correct in telling me the 1590G Hammond enclosure is a good size for a placeholder image). I’m assuming the switch is passive, and so no space needed for power as you’re likely just plugging the Shure in directly to the wall: Si
  4. I have one of these and they really are excellent! Si
  5. Great colour! GLWTS. Si
  6. That stickiness, according to IMA, is apparently some residue from the windings that has made its way onto the strings, having been coiled in a pack. As you say, mine also lost the tackiness after a bit of playing in. Wasn’t present at all for my gig and I had a great time. No bother at all. Si
  7. I have some on my Lakland 44-PJ. I mirror the experience of them really not being what I was expecting, as others have mentioned, way more 'roundwound' in feel than they're perhaps marketed as. That said, for me, the texture wasn't really a make or break.....I mean as long as they don't shred your fingers right?! I would put them on par with a Nickel string, roundwound, but easy to play. My undertstanding is that IMA requested a little more left on the string than their Super Polished....so that makes sense. Tension wise, I experience them more in the realms of the La Bella RX Nickels than their RX Steels, with the latter being a little too stiff for my liking. I wonder whether the polishing process takes a little stiffness out of the string, which is perfect for my preferences. Sound wise I didn't experience them as zingy at all, I thought they were like nice played-in rounds, kinda like a slightly aged nickel (IME steels don't age as well as nickels). So I gigged them and they were great, really enjoyable to play. My main criteria was longevity, so we'll see where get to on that, IMA reckons he got a solid year out of one set, and he gigs WAY more than me....so I'm hopeful. Watch this space. Si
  8. As-new Shergold Telstar shortscale bass in Champagne Gold finish. Wonderful bass, plays and sounds fantastic, but with a couple of bills to pay, and a number of other excellent instruments, I need to downsize a little, last in, first out unfortunately. Roasted maple neck on these too, which is a nice feature! Comes with a very simple gig-bag/cover. It’s not suitable for shipping in, so collection or meet-up in/near High Wycombe, Bucks on this one. £285 Trade wise, I’m after a Sire P5R 5 string, preferably in white. Probably with a few quid your way. Also looking for a Guild Starfire II in 'Natural' (the dark wood finish), with money your way of course. Cheers Si
  9. Really great clinic IMO, they’re kinda the bass duo that I didn’t know I needed, polar opposites in some respects and that plays off against one another very well. They’re also very similar in many respects, so it was interesting to see that come out. I’m glad that it didn’t just turn into a HX Stomp ‘how to’, it was essentially one big Q&A from the start, and there were some great conversation and playing as a result. It was a little over 2 hours, but could quite easily have been longer….but a big band needed the room to sound check haha. 10/10 would watch again! Si
  10. Sounds like this might go down a similar path to Tecamp/Eich (which has seemingly worked out well for Thomas). I’ve only ever had one interaction with Phil, at NAMM a few years ago, and he was lovely. Hope he finds a positive way forward! Si
  11. Threads merged. Si
  12. Does anyone happen to be traveling between High Wycombe & Telford areas and willing to mule a bass? Long-shot but worth asking 🙂

      Love mule being used as a verb. Definite entry into the great nerd dictionary.

    Oh sorry, I misunderstood then. Yeah I’d expect a dynamic amp effect to break-up in the standard way. If it doesn’t, that is somewhat odd. Si
