    Up for sale goes my Yamaha BB1025X in great condition. I have a BB2025x and the difference is barely noticeable but I only really have the need for one of them. The 2025 was a 40th birthday present so that one will never be for sale. Comes with pretty much brand new DR hi-beams and a proper Yamaha gig bag. Weight is 4.8kg. Socially distanced collection from NN12 8XR only. I'm not prepared to risk postage / paypal issues I'm afraid. More than happy to store this securely for buyer until lockdown is over in return for a sensible deposit.

    Identical to the ones that came with my 1024x and 1025x. Didn't have any issues with dimensions. Both fit well and are decent bags.

    Thanks Jack but I'm afraid I've literally just accepted an offer on this. Cheers Tom

    I went the other way. Sold tons of gear and haven't bought anything. Can't get excited about new kit without gigs to use it at.

    Great cabs and look cool too. Bargain.

    I don't need this but want it to go with my current F112 so I can remodel my neighbourhood. Sadly need to shift my up for sale stuff first before i can consider it seriously.

    Hi Steve, Thanks for the offer. I have a QSC 2450 already but need something lighter. The Crown is less than half the weight and has the dsp built in too. Appreciate you getting in touch though. Cheers Tom

    £295 including mainland uk postage. Absolutely pristine and unmarked as it has only been used for about three songs at 1 corporate function gig while my Helix was annoyingly locked in a studio. Absolutely my favourite overdrive pedal because you have the ability to split and blend signal at a crossover point of your choosing and then boost / cut / compress the lows so that it never loses the body or definition of your tone. It basically does the exact same thing that I love about my helix. Check out the Andertons review video These are £395 new and this is as new with the original box, stickers, free plectrum, manual, usb cable and little rubber feet that have never even been put on. There is not a mark on it so you essentially have a brand new pedal at £85 less than new. Insured postage included inside UK mainland. I won't post outside of the UK. I'll knock £10 off if you collect yourself.

    Wonderful HandBox R400 amp head. Purchased here about a year ago and gigged regularly in a wedding band until Covid-19 hit. Selling as I am purely going to be a Helix / in ears guy from here on in. Fantastic full, rich sounding amp head that has all the benefits of Class A/B power section in a solid compact and comfortable to carry built in case. Everything works as it should and it is pretty much completely unmarked and clean as a whistle. Collection only from South Northants (nr Towcester). Welcome to try in a covid safe office studio at the end of my garden. Not looking for trades unless you have a Crown XTi 2002 power amp.

    Pretty much forgotten I still had this up for sale.

    Haha, that was such a cool bass.

    This was mentioned quite early on in the original discussion. The replacement is going to have to be pretty special if this is to be avoided.

    This is so true. Even the big boys are going to struggle when covid starts to hit 2021 peak season bookings.

    Agree. My bandmates have suffered significantly. The reason I'm not an LLP partner is that I own my own business and thankfully that has grown significantly this year.
  15. mrtcat
    The 15 most popular bands on our agents books played a total of 1941 gigs between them in 2019. Only one of those bands isn't an all male lineup. 6 of them would fall into the scruffy indie category. It may not be selling in your area but across the uk as a whole it's still a pretty popular choice.

    I should make it clear that the agency don't have any problems whatsoever selling female fronted bands. What they say they struggle more with is mixed gender bands. It's also the same with age groups. They can sell young bands, old bands and everything in between but they struggle with bands that dont sit in one age group or another.
  17. mrtcat
    This is really the only reason the band are happy to stick to a male front man. The agents have been able to sell the band well for years so why make a significant change.
  18. mrtcat
    All well and good but in this instance the agent brings in 100% of our work. If they are right and then we end up with 20% fewer bookings then the band is no longer a viable business. If we were a pub band or just doing it for fun then I'd agree completely.

    I totally understand this and my belief is that an LLP is subject to the exact same rules as any other employer so I think any advert we put out will need to avoid stating preferred age or gender. I makes me wonder how tv / film companies can advertise for a male actor or how the chippendales could advertise for a new stripper.
  20. mrtcat
    I'm more interested in how people think we stand both legally and morally when it comes to advertising. The band is a registered LLP and I'm the only non partner so essentially I don't actually get the final say on who we advertise for. My concern is not breaking laws or accidentally causing offence if we put an advert out.
  21. mrtcat
    I'm not sure. Modern venues are all well equipped. I think it's more to do with their experiences of what clients are booking.
  22. mrtcat
    I think it's less about a specific reason and purely based on their experience of what statistically sells best and what doesn't.
  23. mrtcat
    I genuinely don't think it has anything to do with capability. History tells us that women can absolutely nail it. I don't know what the reasoning is behind their stance but they really do book hundreds of bands into proper function gigs every day so I have to trust that they know what they are doing.
  24. mrtcat
    I don't really know and I don't feel desperately comfortable with it but our agents, who have always been absolutely brilliant for us and keep us booked solid with well paid work have been quite clear in saying that they would find us harder to sell as a mixed gender band.

    I think it depends on the style of music you play. We are very much scruffy Indie / rock rather than a smart funk / soul / pop etc style.
