    Pretty much my dream bass. I feel I've earned the right to own one having played 512 gigs in the last 5 yrs but the prices are really high at the moment so I'm just struggling to justify pulling the trigger.
  2. mrtcat started following Maruszczyk Elwood L 5a 24 , Bass --> FoH with no backline. What preamp pedal are you using? , Which companies are dead to you? and 6 others

    I've been through a few. Helix Floor - Does it all but I was only using 1% of the features so was wasted on me. Love that you can split signal at whatever point / frequency you want and then merge it again later in the signal chain. Made it really good for overdrive sounds etc that didn't lose low end. MXR M81 - Great clean sound, garbage distortion. Origin FX Vintage Bass Rig (the black one) - built beautifully but struggled to get the tone I wanted. Origin FX Vintage Bass Rig (the blue one) - Excellent quality and nailed the vintage Amgeg thing really well. Didn't like the inability to switch drive / eq separately. Sansamp Bass Driver - One trick pony but does that one trick brilliantly. These days we do a mix of silent stage and regular stage gigs. All on in ears but, when we have acoustic drums we also tend to use backline. I use a Darkglass M900 v2 amp and simply run it without a cab on silent stage gigs as the footswitch allows me to have 2 different drive sounds and clean sounds easily. Cab sim makes it great for di to foh.

    Hartke, after they released the Kilo with a known flaw and then washed their hands of all responsibility, leaving me £900 out of pocket and endless hours wasted. Marshall. Worst build quality of any bass or guitar cab I've ever seen.

    We have the same subs and they're extremely good and also nice and compact. A pair of them coupled together can out run our RCF 745 tops and therefore they do more than we need to do which is exactly what I want in subs. That way I know we're not pushing them too hard.

    The advice is to high pass tops at no lower than 80hz. High passing subs at 80hz would really defeat the object of having them in the first place.

    As long as I get paid and don't get stabbed I'm happy.

    £100 Absolutely crazy little synth pedal. Massive array of sounds and tracks really well. Sadly not of much use in my current project. Will trade for a decent octave or eq pedal with appropriate cash adjustment. Comes with box but has velcro on the bottom rather than the little rubber feet. Postage to mainland UK included.

    It wouldn't worry me to run two vanderkley cabs with the streamliner. As long as you're not clipping it hard then I can't imagine it causing any issues.

    Lovely amp in really good condition with original box. Mountains of fat warm power on tap with a lovely valvey drive tone available. Has the usual intemittent blue leds but all works as it should. I'm throwing in a neat little backpack that has a padded compartment that fits the amp super snug and still has loads of room for your sandwiches and any other gig gear you might want to take. Collection from NN12 8XR or can post at buyers expense. Feel free to come and plug it in and give it a whirl. Price is firm at this time.

    Literally doesn't concern me either way what you do. In my particular case, all my gigs are at corporate events and private functions. I'm not a guest or a customer. I'm simply there to do a job.
  12. mrtcat
    It's work. I wouldn't expect an electrician or builder to do anything other than pack up and leave when his / her job was done.
  13. mrtcat
    Same as every gig. Pack down as quickly as possible, load the van, get on the road, drive for a few hours listening to a podcast, get home and go straight to bed.

    £1200 ono Beautiful Maruszczyk Elwood L 5a 24 for sale. Super lightweight active jazz bass with a huge array of tones and a really low action without any buzzing and a lovely neck that makes this such a comfortable instrument to play. Purchased brand new from Bass Direct in 2016. I played it a fair bit in the first year and then changed bands for one where a beat up P bass was far more appropriate and this has largely sat in its bag ever since. It has a couple of minor dinks (all in photos) but is generally in great shape and sounds massive with both pickups in parallel mode. Just 3.66kg it has an alder body with a maple burl top and matching headstock in natural matte finish. The neck is hard rock maple with a birds eye maple fingerboard. Hardware as follows: - Pickups - Bassculture 38 HB Humbuckers with maple burl covers - Preamp - 3 band delano with 3 way mini switch for each pickup (series/single coil/parallel). - Bridge - Maruszczyk E45 - 18mm string spacing - Tuners - Wilkinson Currently strung with pretty much brand new Elixir Stainless Steel but also comes with the original Maruszczyk strings. Comes in the original Maruszczyk gig bag with all the original certificates and documentation. Collection from South Northamptonshire (near Towcester which is on the A43 halfway between J15a of M1 and J10 of M40) where I have a quality amp and cab that you can plug into. I gig quite a lot accross the country so may be able to meet up somewhere. I am absolutely not prepared to post this I'm afraid. Thanks for looking.
