  1. I'm on the side of digital here, i play in a fairly aggressive 3 man outfit and both the guitarist(vocalist as well) and myself want to have the boom of the backline behind us, however we use iem's as well, depending on the stage setup we use either or both. We currently have a rack where we house 2 kempers(both bass and guitar), an xr 18, a channel splitter and 3 iems(guitar, bass, drums), basically we each have our own mix, and you can very easily use your own backline, feed the di into the mixer and so on, ideally you would want a multicore cable from your mixer to the stage box, ours is fixed and we each know what cable is what, or alternatively you can tag them, makes things easier for a 4-5 piece band. We own our won amps, but we all pitched in(from band merch sales and individual finances when necessary) for the PA the mixer and other cableage and each of us bought their own IEM, guitarist and drummer have LD MEI100g2 and i have the MEI1000, anyway. as i mentioned, you can chose not to use an IEM, but everything is set up in the rack so that we literally just plug cables in and that's it, so setup takes minimally, even if we had to bring in cabs, but most places supply those and they're only used for monitoring. we also own our PA in our practice room but we don;t carry that around with us, again, that's for practicing and monitoring only. so just to sum it up, i am a big fan of simplifying and preparing everything before going on stage, so if you can fit all your monitoring equipment in a rack, do that, sort out the mixes beforehand, and you're set. In regards to the costs, i would say, if there is anything that you would want to keep in case you leave, buy for yourself, IEM system, amp, cab or anything else, otherwise, split the costs and if someone leaves everyone just pays them back for their part in it and that's it, or if they're not bothered and leave on good terms, then they just leave it and it's yours otherwise, yes it gets tedious, and at some point someone will probably end up owning a mixer or smth like that, but unless someone wants to buy it outright this is how things have been in the bands i've been in tbh. Oh yeah, and before being in this band and playing with iems and kemper, in my previous band, the drummer had his own mixer and iem and everything and he paid for it himself, but the amount of equipment he had to carry was enormous as he played with a rack and not the light kind. Hope this helps
  2. That's a recessed Dunlop Strap lock to change the position of the bass, and shift the weight if you need to. All Canadian models have this as a standard option i think @kuetsum GLWTS mate!
  3. Sold a Boss wireless unit to Colin, top guy, communication was smooth, payment was fast and on point and everything went smoothly, would definitely recommend for any future dealings anyone has with him. Alin
  4. Hi Kev, It is indeed a lovely thing, should i have longer digits or if i were playing something more proggy this would be perfect. Will add a value in the main ad, thanks for the tip.
  5. I have managed to find a 5 string Dingwall AB1 so this is going for sale only from trade only I've owned this bass for the past 3 or so years, it plays beautifully and has kinda ruined me for other basses tbh, however for the 2nd time in the last 10 years i have to concede that i don't need a 6 string bass, i am prone to noodling, but the genre of music i play does not really need 6 strings on bass, and as much as i would like to, i feel more comfortable on a 5 string. So without further ado, I am putting up for sale my beloved black 6 string Dingwall Afterburner 1. It has been played and has a few knocks and scratches which i will photograph and and send over on request. It is passive and full stock(as it came) As far as i can conclude, the body is Alder, neck is Maple and fretboard is Wenge, pickups i think are FDV's. The only thing of notice is the fact that the nut was filed for a .152 B string(or whatever other tuning was used) and i have used exclusively .130 Dingwall strings and tbh it has not been an issue at all, string has never slipped or moved or anything like that, however should you feel concerned i am sure you can get an AB nut from Bass Direct. Strings have been used but not excessively, I can include a new set with the trade, Also in regards to tuning, my lowest is G# and the definition and growl i had as well as good tension has always been top notch. Drop me a PM with sensible offers, this is a beautiful instrument that really shouldn't stay in a case "gathering dust"
  6. Since i moved to a complete rack option, i don't need the 2 heads anymore. The have both been great and have had them for a few years, during the pandemic and since they have had very little use. Basically i used the RH450 for practice and as a backup, and has never failed me in any way. It has 3 stickers on top that can be removed with some alcohol or with WD40 or something. What i did't know when i got it, was that the Gain switch was broken off, but fixed(it rotates and holds the knob) so all is good , still has most of the original knobs on, the master volume is a different one, looks good tbh and only the Mem1 button is cracked, but not fully(this is a common issue and does not affect playability). Otherwise it works fine and never had an issue with it. If you are interested in buying it separately i'll let this one go for £150, and will include the kettle lead and a bag to hold it(an old brown samsonite laptop shoulder bag). The RH750 has been sold I also have the RC4 footswitch, used but not overly, has the usual scuff but otherwise in good condition, can sell separately for £100 or with the RH450 as above offered. I would prefer collection or meetup in central London or South East London, Lewisham area(or if you live locally and have a cabinet we can go to yours and test it, i don't have a cab at home anymore) Will upload photos very soon. Should you have any questions, let me know All sold thank you
  7. Up for sale is my trusty Boss WL-60, has served me well for the few months I have used it, i got this to replace my Smoothhound, and it did an amazing job, very easy to use, very light as well, no dropouts or issues with signal, I'm only selling as i don't have a pedalboard anymore and am going full rack, I'm sure i will regret this in a little while but hey, it satisfies the GAS. Anyway, it was bought second hand, didn't come with a box, and as usual, no power source but it feeds off any power source or even a 9V battery(like all boss pedals). The transmitter uses 2xAA batteries and the drain is minimal, i had a few dozen gigs and only changed them once. All in all £160 ONO. I would prefer local meet in Central London or South East London(Lewisham-Greenwich) area but could post if need be, drop me a message and we can take it from there Cheerio
  8. Bought a bunch of Dingwall Strings from Mat, and everything went through smoothly, great guy to deal with so fully recommend. Cheers Mat!
  9. Had a great experience selling to Lee, he bought a DG Microtubes infinity pedal from me and it could not have gone smoother. Thoroughly recommend dealing with. Cheers Lee.
  10. I do, i got this one, when i got it, it was 60 quid though, still worth it tbh https://www.gak.co.uk/en/shergold-sggb1-masquerader-deluxe-guitar-gig-bag/905126
  11. Honestly if you manage to snag a deal and not pay full price for it, then it’s worth it, i managed to get my 1505ms new for 1k, via friends and family discount at a reputable store not to be named here :), anyway if i had paid more and not via the complicated system i probs would have returned it, action was high AF, the pot covers are just cheap plastic and the truss rod access looks like it was carved with a butter knife, also the pot holes are horrendous, one is a bit crooked, but easily fixed with another washer. I did make some changes to it, changed the balance pot to a dingwall 4 way(i don’t know why that isn’t standard in most basses nowadays), i bought some wooden pot covers from ali express, and it does not add bulk or weight and looks so much better, changed the straplock to dunlop, so i can use the same strap for this and the dinger and with a proper setup it sounds almost as food as my AB1, i play it in passive as that preamp is just way too complicated for me, it helps when you need a bit of a boost live, but otherwise, it stays pretty much in passive, the nordies sound really good, i like the bite, not as defined as the dinger but they sound good, way better than the chinese barts, you just need to add too many things in the signal chain to get those to sound good, and i don’t think it’s worth it. And for a premium guitar to offer that gig bag i find insulting, i managed to get a cheapo rbx copy gig bag for 60 quid and it offers great protection. That is all rant over, but if you have 1k and get one in good condition or new and with another 100 quid you can make it into a top bass with a decent bag.
  12. Hey All, So after 3 months of trying, genuinely trying to get a tone that suits my band and my playing style, i have come to the conclusion that it just isn't for me. I've been an HX stomp user for a few years now and tbh, that is more my style, so i think i'll stay on that or move to a complete rack powered option(kemper). Anyway, it is almost brand new, bought towards the end of March, used in the practice room for half hour, and a few more hours at home, comes with the box and everything from the box. It does not have a charger as it does not come with one, but it can be powered from a normal pedal power supply(i had it in an Ojai which delivers 500ma, but i am pretty sure it only needs around 250ma). Overall it is a very cool, slick and smart piece of technology that i genuinely wish i could get along with, but didn't. Please see below blurb and description, you can also find videos and presets online for it should you want and need. "Often, we find ourselves asking identical questions. What distinguishes a pedal, amp, or accessory as essential? If we get to choose only one piece of gear to take on tour: how would we want it to be? This pedal is a response to our one quest, stapling what it takes to make professional gear by our standards: A vast canvas on which any musician can reveal their utmost potential. Meant for those who care about quality, versatility, and a robust proposition. Without concessions or shortcuts. The Microtubes Infinity shares the footmark of our programmable line, packed with our three legendary Microtubes distortions: B3K, Vintage, and X. Moreover, it allows multiband compression on every mode, blending Impulse responses between distortions while adding extra controls via the Darkglass suite for an endless number of features: An infinity of possibilities. Connectivity Audio Inputs Instrument (1/4" Mono) Aux in (1/8" Stereo) Audio OutputsTwo balanced 1/4" (Left & Right) XLR Headphpone Output Other I/OUSB-C (Audio interface and added control via Darkglass Suite) MIDI IN (1/8”) 9VDC input (center negative 2.1/5.5 mm) Bluetooth (Bluetooth audio in and added control via Darkglass Suite mobile app) Controls 5 PotentiometersCompression - Drive - Tone/Era - Blend - Level 6-band Graphic Equalizerwith Touch Sensitive Sliders 3 multi-function switches (push/rotate)-∞ (Negative Infinity) / Compressor mode (5 modes + bypass) 0 (Zero) / Distortion mode (5 modes + bypass) +∞ (Positive Infinity) / Cabinet simulation (5 Impulse Responses + bypass) Headphone VolumeMini Potentiometer" I will post photos of it in the next few hours, in almost all shops it is over £520 plus shipping most of the time, this one still has 9 months of warranty so you're getting a deal, i just can't justify keeping it and not using it, so yeah, if you think the price is too steep, make me an offer and we'll take it from there. Not interested in other pedal trades, only if you have a Kemper power rack, obviously with money from me. Also i prefer meeting up in Central or South East London but i can look into posting it, at buyer's expense. Cheerio
  13. For a really long time this was my dream bass, having played one in my first studio recording experience, and it just blew my little alternative-rock-playing mind, it just sounded and felt so much better than any bass i had previously had and played, honestly at this price this is a steal, especially in this condition, if i had more space and wasn't hooked on fanned fret i would have bought this. GLWTS!!!
