Not sure if this one's been posted before but just in case......Killer playing on this one.

A mate of mine from new Jersey told me about this guy...He's been to see him a few times as he's local. This one's a bit funky.

Seeing as I've not been around these parts in a while....The late great James Harman...
Fantastic drumming on this one...

Just met Mark to do the handover of my beloved Traynor YBA300...
Absolutely top bloke, super pleasant and a pleasure to meet up with him...I hope the amp serves you well sir.

Welcome back! Amp looks yummy to me.

Cheers Buddy...Good to see you again...

Wow....
I've been off the forum for a few years and it's saddened me greatly to see these stalwart names on here of friends past who are no longer with us...
RIP to all of them and condolences to their friends and loved ones...
Very sad.

300 watt all tube head...NB, I was Kennyrodg on here back in the day....I've been out the game for a good few years and lost my login details....So
I gave up playing live a few years back and this has sat unused in my living room since...I had it serviced about month before I packed in and it's been back at the Tech's last week to have everything checked over prior to me putting up for sale...I picked it up today so here it is...
Everything's checked out with it, it's 100% running perfectly, the tubes are biased correctly and I'd describe the condition as mint...There's not a mark or scratch on it anywhere..
I have a bespoke flight case for it,that's been stored in the shed so it's not mint ....as you'd expect i guess...The corners are a little rusty but nothing that won't clean up. I had this paired up with a pair of Bergie AE210's, suffice it to say, it sounded incredible. I still have them so come give it a whirl if you like.
The amp is in Preston, Lancs for collection only, I won't post it but I'll be happy to meet up in person within a 50 mile radius.
Cheers.
If you guys think it's overpriced then please let me know...I saw one sold August last year on FB that was listed at £675 and from the pics was not in the same condition as this one....Not wanting to judge but I've been out of the scene for so long I've no idea what things are going for these days so wanted to try and be fair with it.
Cheers.

Hey Folks,
After a long time and a lot of searching I've managed to find a good drummer and guitarist to put round a very good quality Female vocalist I've been friends with for a good while.
We've had a working list of 20 or so tunes for ages but finding the right musicians has been a real struggle, hopefully after today we've finally found the right guys where we can get something motoring ahead.

The style of the Band is very Funky / Groove based Blues, think Susan Tedeschi, Reba Russell, Shamekia Copeland kind of stuff but I'm thinking we'll also need some better known covers to throw in for the pub circuit.
We're not looking for the kind of "Sex on Fire" kind of better known material, more something that would fit with the style of the band or that we can change up to suit. No Classic Rock please guys but any suggestions for material to look at would be most helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Hey all,
A quick question re Public Liability Ins' if I may....
I need to find some new rehearsal facilities and the School where I work is a good option but I need said cover.
I've seen a few that ask for the names of the band members but seeing as it's a start up and I'll be embarking on auditions that won't be an option. Can any of you guys recommend somewhere that will use the name of the band leader, ie, me only and the rest of the band are covered by default.
Many thanks in advance,
Pete.

Hey Folks,
Some wiring help need please if possible.
I've just finished making a new Pickguard for my 1980 Ibanez Blazer and I'm in a bit of a fix re the wiring.
I got a tech to fit me an EMG BTS System to the Bass a good while back and he wired a bunch of wires to the back of the old Pick Guard into the shielding tape, no idea why but it meant cutting the wires to remove it.
Anyhoo,
I've come to fit the new one tonight and noticed there are 3 wires coming from the pickup, bearing in mind it is Passive. There's a Red, A White and what is I'm presuming is a Shielding cable. The Red is (connected to a lug on the volume pot, a white, which was connected to the underside of the old pickguard and the shield isn't connected either. The center lug on the volume goes to the board on the BTS.

I'm not sure where the white wire and the shield wires should go so any help would be very much appreciated. All the info on the EMG site relates to using one of their push fit volume pots after the BTS, My set up is with the original volume pot before the BTS.
Thanks in advance for any pointers offered, it will be gratefully received.


Figured it out, now sorted.

Hey Folks,
NOW SOLD.
I finally managed to grab a second AE 210 so my HD 210 is now up for sale, possible trade for a high end Amp or maybe something with with Tubes Burman Pre + Powerpak etc.
The cab is 100% mint, no dings, scuffs or scratches and comes with a Berg padded cover. Not much to say about this cab that isn't already well documented, one of the best 210's out there.
Pics to follow later today but rest assured it's a minter, as new.


[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'd like £420 for the cab, I'm happy to ship at buyers cost, £20 tops and I'm happy to meet up within reason. [/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Trade value would be £450 [/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'd consider trades for a good quality head, cash either way. I quite fancy a giving tubes a try so maybe a Burman set up or similar, possibly a VGC "Series 6 Trace AH300" GP12 (not SMX) plus cash[/font][/color]

Hi Folks,
I recently upgraded the Preamp in my Lakland 44-01 from the Bartolini MK1 (which isn't really a Bartolini) to the Bartolini NTMB jobbie. All in it's an improvement however the Mid frequency is set at 250 hz. That in itself is causing me a bit of a problem in that 250hz is a frequency range that I have a particular dislike for.

However, not all is lost, according to the Bartolini wiring diagrams I can put a 0.33uf Cap in series on one of the wires going to the Mid pot and get a much more pleasing to my ear 500hz boost and cut.

Link to PDF on the Bart site
http://www.bartolini.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/NTMB+-Mid-Switch-Configuration-min.pdf

Now I think I'm right in saying ( please tell me if i'm wrong) that "In Series" will mean simply cutting the wire and soldering the cap into the wire but I'm unsure if it would have to be a particular way round, ie, + - . Also, I know the Cap in a passive system gets soldered to the tone pot outer casing, is there a need to do this on this active circuit ?
If any of you knowledgeable folks could assist me I'd be eternally grateful.
Thanks in advance.

I'm watching this Trace amp on ebaym Manchester location, the same head is for sale on Gumtree in London ??

In light of the recent drummer thread I thought I'd post this to see if folks have the same opinion.
I've been suffering in silence ( for the most part ) with our keyboard players over enthusiastic left hand in my function band for the last two and a half years. I've made the odd quip here and there about the band having two bass players but the guy is that sensitive I'm loathed to broach the subject with him.
The band has hit a bit of a dry patch whilst we found a replacement singer, the last one quit a couple of months back.We managed to find a replacement singer last week but even during the auditions I found myself stopping playing at points where he was playing all over me, it reinforced just how frustrating it is playing with him. I don't understand why he can't hear the horrible mush it's creating. The thing is though that he's the father of the guy that runs the band. Personally he's a nice enough guy but hyper sensitive when it comes to mentioning things like his left hand.
I should add, his right hand is fine

Hey folks,
I'm selling a head on these pages and the guy who has arranged to buy it is having a Polish collection agent come to my works to collect it and pay me cash.

As this is a new kind of arrangement for me I'm wondering if any of you guys have had similar dealings ??
I'm a little apprehensive if I'm being honest as I've not dealt this way before.
Any thoughts ??
Cheers.

Hi Folks,
EBS HD-350 for sale.
Bought of here a few weeks ago and described as Bedroom use only.
I've done two function gigs with it, despite some opinions I'd say they are definitely not challenged in the volume department at all. Both gigs done without PA support through my pair of Berg 210's and it covered them both with aplomb.
This head is of the 2 ohm capable variety.
There is a bit of rack rash at the top edge of the face but other than that it's a great little head.
£340 shipped inc ins or £320 collected from Preston, Lancs. I would be more than happy to meet up within reason.


Cheers.

Hey Folks,
Here's my Eden Nemesis NA-650 up for sale.
I got this in a trade a while back and have used it mainly for back up duties. A recent purchase has rendered this as surplus to.
I've have used it a fair few times though over the last 18 months for some 2 ohm config gigs I've done and it's performed very well.
Tonewise it;s very similar to the Eden WT500, pretty warm sounding and plenty of heft and good power. I sold my WT500 as it clipped to early whereas this doesn't. Very punchy amp with tons of volume if required.
It has a very versatile switchable semi parametric eq section, mute, the Eden character knob (less is more), decent compressor and drive / edge control. DI level at the front..........and it lights up at the front. If you can get over the Blue face then great
650 watts at 2 ohms, 440 @ 4 ohms and 275 @ 8 ohms.

Issues,
Both the pre and post eq send jacks on the effects loop and one of the speaker jack outputs have snapped of at the back face of the amp, they do however still work. The re are 2 Speakon outs for the speakers though so no worries there.
Paint chipping on the right hand rack ear.

Comes in a 2u Warwick Rock Case.

I'd like to see £230 inc shipping / ins or £210 collected from Preston,Lancs.
Will meet up within reason.
Cheers.

Just thought I'd share this Trampled Under Foot video.
Hope you Blues / Soul guys like it. It's kinda on topic too as she sings and plays the Bass. If you like Blues then you'll dig this band.
Enjoy.

It was a toss up, sell my Thumb or my Limelight.
I love both but I think I love my Thumb just that tiny bit more. I'm gutted to have to part with either but one unfortunately does have to go. It's not been an easy decision by any means and once my current financial situation improves I'll be looking to buy a replacement.

This was a special order from mark at Classic and Cool, it has a Jazz Neck with Reverse Tuners. I'm not sure about the body wood at all and wouldn't like to say.
I specc'd it "beaten up" so it won't be for all tastes even those that like beaten up Basses. I love the look of the thing and hopefully someone out there will too.
Like most of the other Limelight owners have said and personally speaking this is the best P Bass I've ever played bar none. It's pretty lightweight, certainly lighter than my jazz Bass. The neck is shimmed as I speccc'd a low action, the saddle threads were siezed so I changed them out for threaded ones and it sports an Aguilar AG 4P-60 Pickup... . I have the original Alnico Jobbie that came in the Bass when I bought it.
I would much rather it be collected from Preston if possible, that said I'm happy to meet up within reason. I will courier but at the buyers cost. Please bear in mind that a lot of couriers won't insure instruments unless you know one that will.
Comes with a cheapie gig bag
I'm looking for £520 FIRM, no trades please, i need the readdies.
Thanks.

Hi Folks,
Up for a a very reluctant and sad sale is my 2002 Warwick Thumb NT.
This has been my main gigging Bass for the last two years I'm pretty gutted it has to go but alas.

I recently fitted a new John East U-Retro pre amp and a set of new Bartolini 9cbjd Pickups it also sports a Hipshot De-tuner
The Bass is pretty much mint for a 12 year old.One very slight and very shallow dink in the back of the neck and other than that it's basically flawless.
The addition of the U-Retro has transformed the Bass, not just an improvement in the basic tone of the thing but it has a lot more versatility now as well having the adjustable midrange. The Barts have also beefed the tone up quite a bit, especially on the G string which was a little thin with the MEC's that were fitted.
There have been no alterations made to the Bass with these improvements.

The neck is definitely on the skinny side.the frets are perfect and the truss rod works.
A Warwick hard Rock Case, Truss Rod key and Warwick Wax are included in the sale.
I've loved this Bass since the day I bought it, it's been babied and extremely well looked after and is an absolute joy to play.

I'll be very sad to see it go but times ain't good at the moment so I need to raise some cash. The only trade I would consider would be for a FNA 4 Jazzman with cash my way or a straight swap on a FNA Jazzman Ltd Edition so please folks, no other trades.

If I get one of these then I'll sell my Limelight P Bass to raise the cash I need.
Price is £1100.
I'd be happy to courier it but honestly would rather it be collected or In light of it's value I'd be happy to deliver it locally or meet up within reason.
Cheers for now then.
