Removed due to damage

I just got these to put on a bass but I don't really like them that much.

Barely used, asking for half what they cost me (50/2 = 25) and then 2.50 for postage.

Cheers

Thanks for the replies! Actually a lot of my earlier messages are lost, but I managed to track down the buyer through an old email and have made contact.

Hi,

Is there any way I can access my messages from 2017?

I'm trying to track down a bass I sold at that time and see if I can buy it back hehe

Thanks

SOLD

Sold on eBay

Digital piano for sale.

Good for starting out on piano!

Does come with a stand, but I thought I'd wait to see if anyone's actually interested before going through the rigmarole of getting it out of the loft and assembling it etc.

Collection only, it's really big and heavy!

Whereabouts in York are you?

Close to the centre, behind the train station.

Nice cabs these. Black shoe polish for the stain and marks , trust me….😏

I'll have to give that a go if I can find any lying round!

Set of Ernie Ball cobalt flatwounds.

I bought these thinking they would be like TI flats - they aren't. They're much stiffer/higher tension, don't really seem to have that 'honk' and in general have a bit more of a scooped sound to my ears.

I've had these a couple of months, so they're hardly new, but they've not been used much.

Only one of the strings was cut, and it was cut for a Jazz. I can measure it for you if you want to check whether it fits on your bass.

£3 postage or collection from York.

For sale is a delightful early 21st century TC Electronic RS 210 cabinet.

Made in Malaysia, and Designed in Denmark, this lightly alliterative speaker enclosure has had one owner (me) and never been gigged - although I've had it for years and took it to university etc so it's certainly seen good use, and even has a characterful stain on its rear.

Available to preferably pickup (and test first) in York, this can also be shipped at buyer's cost - but if I can't find a suitable box/packaging for it you might need to send me one.

Will consider trades for a Phil Jones headphone amp (with cash my way) or a fretless Jazz bass neck (maybe cash either way depending on the neck, but I wouldn't want to go for something worth more than about £350).

Maybe even a fretted Jazz neck if you have a Japanese one (I slept on a really nice looking Jaguar neck that was on here and missed out)

If you're not set on a red one Thomann have black ones in stock

So I've had it a couple of days.

Quite into it, it's not quite the same as headphones but it's certainly more in that direction that my previous cab (which I am now going to sell).

Put it on a stool so it's closer to head height.

It can go unpleasantly loud and make things in the room vibrate.

Eventually I'd like to mic it and also run the line in from the head and record some comparison clips.

I've just spent the day playing through my RCF ART310s on poles they do just what you want, they sound like huge headphones. Nothing in the chain other than the mixer. 

Do you just plug directly into them or go through a preamp etc?

Anyway, I've ordered the C2. The price was right, and hopefully it'll be good for those times when I feel like I don't want something on my head

Hi,

What's the weight?

Also how does the neck compare to the '62 RI?

Thanks

If you don't mind building one of these would be ideal 

 

We've been looking at a lot of bass speakers and the crossovers are rarely done with a lot of care so that's probably what you are hearing. If you want to buy then it's probably best to skip bass amps most of which are 'voiced' in some way and go for a PA speaker. I use my RCF ART310's sometimes and they work well with bass up to quite a reasonable volume. Depends upon what your budget is of course.

 

 

I'd prefer not to build, I don't really have the necessary tools or patience.

PA speaker could be a good shout!

I have several C4s and 4Bs. They're very clear and clean. I use one for practice/home playing and it works well. However, you have to bear in mind that it is difficult to get that headphone sound out of any cab. The drivers in headphones may be small, but they're only about an inch from your eardrum. That helps gives the sound weight and immediacy and means you hear all the frequencies they produce, unaffected by room reflections, etc. If I could find a cab that sounded as good as my bass into my A&H mixer through my DT770s, I'd snap it up. I'm still looking.

Yeah true. I guess a more realistic expectation would be aiming for the kind of tone I get when playing bass through my (old and cheap) monitors.

I might just get the C2 from Thomann and see how I like it, suppose returning is always an option if it doesn't work out...

I've started to realise that I prefer the tone of my bass through headphones, and I'd quite like to try and get as close to this as possible through an amp.

I currently have a Little Mark 250 and a TC Electronic RS212, and while the RS212 has a tweeter it's still a bit lacking in the clarity for me.

Anyway, I was looking for a little cab to replace it.

I only use this amp for practice, so it doesn't need to compete with anything loud.

I saw the Phil Jones C2 and thought that might be ideal. And it's quite cheap!

Has anyone got any experience with it or any other suggestions?

Just FYI - Jim Fleeting is now based somewhere in Stockport.

Will report back with my experience of one of the other two N Yorks luthiers..

After one of these in fretless but can't seem to find them anywhere!

Has anyone spotted any?

Just curious - what's the thing between the neck pickup and the bridge (2nd pic)?

Edit: Nevermind - some googling says it's a brass strip between the bridge pup and the bridge for grounding.

I had a few lessons with Dave Murray in Stockport a couple of years ago before I moved way. I thought he was a fantastic teacher.
He was recommended by a fair few people on here which is how I found him.
