    Oh balls, me and my big (keyboard) mouth.

    There is something to be said for IEMs that allow in ambient noise and just as importantly, let out air pressure. https://www.64audio.com/apex https://www.64audio.com/iem-type/Custom/user-type/Stage

    Tobacco burst, as already stated. Or put another way: It's f*****g brown.

    I had the 2x10 combo for years and it was great. You could probably run this from a preamp on your effects board.

    Thanks, will correct it 👍

    In used condition. One wire needed to be resoldered back onto pickup when installed but works perfectly. Original box, scews and foam. Bought from here a few months ago and used with KiOgon wiring loom (also for sale) so wires not cut and and AFAIK, still at original length. £47.50 (firm) delivered. 1st class signed for or collect / meet from East / West Herts (weekdays) or somewhere in Essex at weekends. No trades. See my sig for other JB parts.

    Body with original black 3-ply pickguard and thumbrest (not pictured). Road worn condition with big chips in paintwork but nothing too shocking. Biggest one is on top and goes through to the body and I filed down the edge so wouldn't catch my arm. Pretty light at 2.05Kg. £50 delivered or collect / meet from East / West Herts (weekdays) or somewhere in Essex at weekends. No trades. See my sig for other JB parts.

    Bought a pedal from me and transaction was silky smooth. Many thanks. 👍

    You have the option with BO's to automatically decline ones below a certain price. I always use this and state it in my ad, as well has the fact I'll ignore lowball offers. If someone does it anyway, they deserve to be ignored because they either didn't read the ad fully or thought they were too important to be ignored. I would rather not deal with either of those, could get 'complicated' down the line.

    Food for thought. I don't drop to C# enough to be really that precious about it, just the occasional tune and I drop it mid-song here and there. My concern is that if I go to 110, I will have to file my nut and if I don't get on with it and go back to a lower guage, it will not be held securely.

    And they're quite reasonable. £31 including delivery for their 'platinum' nickels, including delivery. Only downside is the lead time. Will order a set somewhere between what would be a Medium to Heavy. The beauty of it is, if the E string still misbehaves when dropped to C#, I can just order that 1 string to be Heavy ( .110 )
  18. Sharkfinger
    Doesn't someone do a 'mixed' set of guages, with the E sting being a 107?
  19. Sharkfinger
    Used one of these exclusively in the 90's for nearly 10 years. Only got if of it because I fancied a change. A real workhorse.

    Not sure I'd get on with SS strings, might be a bit too bright/harsh.

    My band have been playing dropped down a semi-tone for a few year now. For the avoidance of doubt, my 4-string bass is tuned D#, G#, C# and F# I have a bass X-Tender and this takes my bottom string down to low C#. I used to use Rotosound Swing bass 45-105 and that is my preferred tone. I've been unhappy with how floppy it makes my strings and how 'clanky' it sounds when the action is fairly low. I fixed the latter by taking the action up a bit. No biggie but I prefer it a bit lower. Strings are still a bit loose though. I tried DR Nickel Lo-Riders 45-105 and I didn't feel any difference. I then put on some Rotosound 'Monel' flats and they were good. Not floppy and has allowed be to bring the action back down a bit. I understand flats 'clank' a bit less anyway. I really like the mid-focused tone but the downside is that after a few gigs, the tone has 'mellowed' a bit too much for my tastes and as my band play a wide variety of styles, it's not appropriate for everything. I would rather just roll off the tone when I need to. Is there string that has higher tension like the Roto flats but with (at least some of) the brightness of rounds? Should I just switch to a higher guage of string, like 107-110 on bottom string? What about these? https://www.drstrings.com/bass-ddt

    Kindly let me buy his superb EBS NeoLine 212 and even met me half way. Great communication and all-round nice chap. It's a 👍 from me.

    £220 for an Ashdown combo cab and I'm not even including an amp? You must think I'm nuts. Well, that may be the case but this was a labor of love for me. Here's what's so upgraded about it. Just to make it absolutely clear, the amp is not included. It might be for sale but only if a Quilter BB800 came up for sale, as that's pretty much the only thing I'd consider as a fit replacement. First and foremost, it's got just about the best 15" mid-bass driver you can buy (BMS 15N620). The tone is absolutely incredible and can take 500W without effort. It was over £220 delivered on it's own. It's only got about 30 hours use on it. Secondly, I didn't just throw it in and hope for the best. It was re-ported and re-tuned with some expert advice from the most knowledgeable people on this very forum. There was no wadding inside, so I added that. Put decent speaker cable in with an speakon plug. Castors not included, will put the rubber feet back on. If you happen to have a fancy driver and the price is a bit too rich for you, then I can sell it without the driver and you can put your own in. The porting will be the same for the Eminence Kappalite and Faital Pro 15PR400, among others. Let me know what you've got and I can tell you if it will work. £220 with the BMS driver or I can sell it empty for £80, loaded with the original driver for £100. These prices are firm. Weight with BMS driver is about 20Kg. Cash only, no trades. Need to recoup some funds. Can be collected or we can meet up in Hertfordshire or Essex. Would courier for the right buyer.
