    What sort of tension are these strings, compared to say GHS Precision Flats, Pyramid Golds, or La Bella nylon flats.
  2. franzbassist
    La Bella nylon flats have been my go to string on fretless for a long time, but I'm quite enjoying Newtone Platinum nickel coated round cores at the moment.

    Franz Sirius. I've owned a lot of fretless basses, but this one is the best by some way.

    Thanks all, very useful stuff here.

    Hello folks My daughter is just starting A Level Music Tech, with a view to going on to uni to study something similar - she has her eye on Music and Sound Recording at York at the moment. She's been told to think about getting a Macbook running Logic Pro, but new prices are crazy, so I was wondering which older models folk would recommend, and where decent used Macs might be found? Condition is less important than performance in this instance. Should add that I work in a Uni myself and qualify for the Apple discount, but even then a new basic Pro is coming in at £1124 and an Air at £854! Thanks Gareth

    [quote name='Sparky Mark' timestamp='1507189514' post='3383749'] Not sure that 3 tubes constitutes an amplifier? Should probably be listed in the other stuff for sale forum. [/quote] My bad.

    New old stock from Karltone. Cost me £9.85 each, I'd like to sell all three as a job lot for £22. The JJ ECC83s (12AX7) is a high gain preamp double triode valve. Thanks to its design it performs with very low noise and microphonics. Harmonically rich with a detailed low end and a warm high end. Premium Tested on specialised digital and analogue testing equipment by Karltone as follows Gain (A) Transconductance (gm) Noise (dbv) Microphonics Emission Quality Grid Leakage Shorts Test results are provided on the box

    Once again, I have assembled a pedal board only to decide I don't really do pedal boards, so now the cabling is the last thing I have left to sell Here we have a total of 87cm (2.8ft) or Monorail cable and seven jack plugs. The made up leads are 15, 8 and 6 cm long (that's the cable length between the jacks) and also 28, 21 and 9 cm lengths of unused cable. I paid £50 for all of this. Yours for £40 posted Recorded Delivery. Thanks Gareth

    Very nice. I have the combo version of this head (Caron K1 Combo) and it's superb. The headroom is just insane. Great rig, shame you have to sell. Whoever buys this won't be disappointed.
  14. franzbassist
    Hmm, minefield. I'd go LaBella or GHS personally, depends if you like high tension or not.
  15. franzbassist
    Flats are a no brainer, and they last ages, so it's a win-win in this situation

    [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1506631529' post='3380110'] ACS are pretty good. [/quote] Agree 100%, they really are just like turning everything down.

    [quote name='M@23' timestamp='1506356726' post='3378191'] Sorry, having reread my post, it was badly worded! I meant the combination of Ninja head and 2x12 Ninja cab... just seen that they do a little combo too![/quote] Ah right, thought I’d missed a combo there! That should sound immense. The Ninja head is the same pre and power amp unit as the new Caron combo I own, apart from no VLE on the Caron.
  18. franzbassist
    [quote name='M@23' timestamp='1506337625' post='3377976'] Thinking the Ninja combo would be a good all round function band setup, 20kg, small footprint and the option to expand being 8ohm. With the amp still pushing 600w at 8ohm too. [/quote] I thought the Ninja was a 250 watt combo with an extension cab? Is there a higher powered version as well?

    [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1506332748' post='3377904'] Can't comment on Octave pedals but I exclusively play 5 Stringers and can report no issues. [/quote] Same, and my two cabs have the same 12" drivers as in the Ninja cab. They take all the power from the head without issue.

    All the MB kit that appears in my signature is made in Indonesia. Quality seems absolutely fine to me.
  21. franzbassist
    Tecamp, now Eich, offer their 1x12 and 1x15 compact cabs in 4 ohm versions.

    This is the best deal on BC right now.
  24. franzbassist
    It doesn't matter. If they fit the pot shafts you're adding them to they can be used for volume, pan, eq, whatever.... It all depends on how your pots are configured.

    [quote name='dodge_bass' timestamp='1505345180' post='3371285'] Any trades at all? [/quote] Possibly, though unlikely tbh. What have you got?
