Compact budget PA set-up to put bass through (without back-line).
tauzero replied to Al Krow's topic in PA set up and use
I've got both the CT100 and the CT200. The CT200 is fine for TS too, you just have to remember it will show shorts between R and S (not exactly a difficult thing to remember) - after all, it can't tell whether you've plugged in a TS lead or a TRS one with a frayed ring or sleeve connection. For gigging needs, the CT100 is fine, except for Speakons which it doesn't do. -
Up for grabs is a Sire Z3, picked up from Andertons late last year and showing no signs of use. Going through the usual cycle of 'sell anything that's not a P!' Lovely satin neck with rolled edges, 3 band preamp. Will remove straplocks and refit original buttons. Price includes UK shipping. Very happy to hand over in person, and will be travelling a little over the next few weeks. . . -

Last photo now shows the slim epoxy resin build to correct bridge plate curve, before silver paint and and addition of new black domed saddle screws. Might do £405 with a new set of strings chucked in ( D’Addario Nickels or Steels ) and UK delivery. OH ! did I mention the upgraded Hipshot USA tuners and Xtender? ( Yes, you did ! 😁) Cheers. Quent -
Class pedal that has been on my board for a few years. Has velcro underneath and also has the rubber feet in the box. In great condition. Not looking for trades as needing to slim down my setup now I'm ampless on IEMs. These are £289 new so priced to sell. Really easy to dial in a good tone with the flexibility it has to combine both clean and dirty tones and the low compression keeps things nice and smooth. Any questions or more pics lemme know. Info from the Darkglass website: The Microtubes X7 series brings the studio method producers have been using the years to cover the whole bass distortion spectrum: from articulate high gain to punchy mild overdrive, raw and gnarly fuzz and everything in between. You now have absolute control in constructing your vision of what the perfect bass distortion texture, definition, and size should have. Controls High Pass Frequency Controls the cutoff frequency to be distorted, ranging from 100Hz (for thicker, fuzzier saturation) or 1kHz for ultra-sharp definition. High Drive Sets the amount of distortion for the high pass side. High Level Sets the output volume of the distorted high-pass signal. Low Pass Frequency Controls the cutoff frequency to be mixed back to the high-pass side. Ranging from 50Hz (for only sub-bass) and 500Hz to preserve some clean mids. Low Comp Sets the amount of compression for the low-pass signal. Low Level Sets the output volume of the low-pass signal. Master Sets the overall volume of the unit. Low shelf +-12dB @ 80 Hz 500 Hz +-12dB 1 kHz +-12dB High shelf +-12dB @ 5 kHz Dimensions Width: 94 mm / 3¾″ Length: 120 mm/ 4¾″ Height: 46 mm / 1¾″ Weight: 320 g / 0.7 lb -

Great guitar cab microphone from Behringer. https://amzn.eu/d/hoUYOrl £15 including UK postage. -
Just a quick one from last weekend's gig at the Coal Orchard in Taunton. It's a bit of a barn inside, I think it might have been an old Cinema. The low ceiling looked like a cinema foyer with some huge art deco 'lumps' built into the ceiling. It had been a Weatherspoons with the huge long bar and space for a lot of people until Covid struck. The point is that it's a big, difficult space acoustically. Lots of reflections echoing the sound back at us with quite a bit of delay. This was with my duo using a couple of RCF ART310A for PA and a couple more as floor monitors with the bass on the monitors rolled back 12db and everything HPF'd at 50Hz. Mixer is an RCF M18 I'm still slightly surprised every time just how good the vocal sound is from sub £300 speakers. Bass and drums sound great too (no back line at all) The only reason I'm putting this up is that we were louder than we've ever been before. It's a big space, low ceilings and a lot of the audience were a good distance from the speakers. There was also a band playing in the pub next door and also further down the street plus my good friend @GrahamT playing with his band Bar None just round the corner. I whacked the sound up to match the levels coming from the band next door. I have to report that first of all I still had headroom with the little 10" PA, I went a bit too loud for one song so edged it back after wandering out into the FOH area to check. We were matching the sound levels of the band next door who had a 'proper' drumkit and a couple of 12" RCF speakers. (they sounded great too btw, someone knew how to set up a PA and the drummer knw how to control the energy). The moral of the story I suppose is don't underestimate what you can do with decent mid-priced point source speakers. Great sound, utterly reliable and surprisingly loud. Other brands are available

These are great basses. I've been gigging mine for years and still love its sound. -
Yes, thank you, I saw that. My comment should have read “have you factored them in fully ? you would probably break even “

I have used him in the past on an old Ric I had.. Black plate and TRC which he would only do on proof the Ric is genuine... -

It's a bit like Amazon's recommendation engine: "Ah I see you bought a new TV. I guess that means you like buying TVs, so now I'm only going to recommend you TVs for the next few months"

I tried to place an on-line order yesterday with Sweetwater in the US for a J/M 4 set of Aguilar pickups that I can't find in stock in the UK or the EU. So I open my virtual basket to place the order and I get the following message: 'Sorry these items are out of inventory but our experts suggest the following replacement that will be just as good for you.' And what do they recommend as a straight replacement? The Aguilar 5-string set!! I don't think so. Are there any similar stories of dumbness out there?

The concept of putting up with an instrument you're not happy with, so as not to upset a future owner, is quite an odd one. If you don't like it, change it. If you can't or won't change it, sell it. Buy the instrument you actually want to make music on. In this day and age, there is no reason to compromise.

Compact 9V and 12V power supply recommendation please
franzbassist replied to Clarky's topic in Effects
I aim to please I use one on my board to power a 12V pedal and it works a treat. -
While a Fender design is a known quantity, it seems to be a lot of backwards looking music where they have become the uniform of choice. The onus seems to have gone from standing out to fitting in, in a lot of contemporary music. Schecter, ESP, Ibanez and co continually evolve, they refine their models and, generally, they don't make what they made 5 years ago and much of their artist roster consists of people still pushing the envelope a bit. The big US companies have chosen a path of endless regurgitation and lots of the music made on them follows the same concept.

I bought one of these and they sound fantastic!!
