    'Would you buy a guitar from this man?' Halloween fancy dress gig type bump.

    Hungry Like The Wolf into Danger Zone and back again. Takes folk a few seconds but worth it for the grins.

    Thanks gents. All PM's replied to. Still here at the moment. Andy

    We were forced to rejig the set on Saturday as the singer was on the tail end of a cold so some of the more immediately high stuff (rock & roll etc) had to go. Opened with Johnny B Goode, which I would never have thought of and the place went mad for it. Possibly a lucky combo of a fab crowd with just the right amount of beer but it just got them up and they didn't sit down again for the whole gig. Best gig in absolutely ages, and the new second set 80s cheese section (here I go again, gold, footloose, hungry like the wolf/dangerzone and so on) also worked like a charm. Hope they're all like that from now on! Andy

    Thanks Marc, I wasn't aiming for a trade but pm me your ideas anyway, you never know! Andy

    NOW SOLD [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'm selling my fantastic Limelight jazz bass in light relic, rosewood board, Olympic White & tort. Please note this is NOT a Fender bass.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]EDIT - trades wise - not a lot really, a decent IEM setup or I might be tempted by a 5 string P bass. [/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Specs are:[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Gotah Vintage Reverse tuners Aged Nitro-cellulose finished neck with Tusq nut, clay dots and hand rolled fingerboard edges Quality vintage bridge CTS pots and Sprague cap Vintage wired Vintage type Pick ups Switchcraft jack Light relic[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Weight is roughly 4.2 kg using the bathroom scales method.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I've had this bass from new (about 18 months). I've had more comments about it than any other bass I've owned, I mean just LOOK at it! [size=1] [/size] The relic job is very good IMHO. I don't know what pickups Mark at classic & cool guitars puts in these things but they're big, fat, deep and generally gorgeous sounding. If I could get a set for my 5 string I would (I've asked, I can't). The neck is a little chunkier than other jazzes I've owned & played but still nice and comfy and the action is low.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]So it looks, plays and sounds great, but I'm exclusively playing my 5 string and can't really justify such a good looking ornament. Even so I'm still wavering on whether to sell or not, it's a lovely, lovely thing.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I don't have a hard case to ship in so it's collection from South Manchester or meet up (within reasonable distance) only. Unless you're super keen in which case I could buy a case and ship (within the UK) at buyer's expense. I'd much rather you got the chance to try it first though.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Cheers,[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Andy[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/font][/color]

    We've got the 112as and are really happy with them. I did not need to see this thread! 😉

    [quote name='Jow Bass' timestamp='1475927435' post='3149826'] I'll check it out will the supplier [/quote] Now that's customer service. Colour me interested for a five string if I can shift one of the stable.
  9. colleya
    Yes please! Sonic blue & tort 5er, phwoar!

    I've just swapped from a TH500 to a walkabout and IMHO there's much more low end presence. It just sounds bigger with the same bass and cabs. I've also had a LM2 and portaflex 500 in the past and couldn't get the same effect. The sound now has a physicality that it didn't before. Weight/portability difference barely registers, still a small amp bag, just a bit heavier. All completely subjective of course........

    [quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1473013426' post='3126064'] I have Haeussel's in my Jake and they're nice, but my latest build from Mensinger is going to have a Delano P pickup in [/quote] I'm looking at going the opposite way, my Jake p/j was 2nd hand and came with Delanos but they don't really do it for me so looking at swapping. I love the sound of limelight pups but Mark doesn't do 5 string so considering the haeussels. Thanks for the advice and the link.

    [quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1472854304' post='3124919'] I sent one with a query about a custom build about a week ago... [/quote] Thought you didn't fancy one Muzz? If you go for the haeussel pups I'd be interested in hearing them rather than ordering a set based on YouTube vids.

    I picked up a 5 string chambered Jake from the for sale board here. It's stupidly light and no neck dive at all. There's no tonal deficit that I've noticed, although I haven't A/Bed with a non chambered version.
  14. colleya
    Cheers WOT. I've managed to tame the Delanos with the walkabout eq but that's only at tickling pressure. I reckon they'll get a bit much when I get carried away and dig in at gig time. Off to hunt down the back of the sofa for pickup money now!

    [quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1470938188' post='3109517'] Actually got to lay hands on one last night, (it was a sunburst P5), and the build quality was exemplary: certainly as good as a good example of the real thing from the US, if not better, and delightfully, erm, light. Wasn't too keen on the Delanos, but that's just me. [/quote] That would be this one then: Nice to meet you Muzz - traded my TH500 for his Walkabout and had a good chat. I'm slowly morphing into WOT! Following on from our chat about the Delanos I was coming on here to ask for advice about alternatives, they're too harsh for me so I think swapping them out is on the cards. At the moment I'm considering the Maruszcyzk house pups, haussels or maybe asking Mark to see if he'll do me a set of limelights (love the sound from those). Does anyone have any advice/opinions?

    I use G2 and G3 compacts together in the gig rig. Sounds great. Andy

    [quote name='thebrig' timestamp='1468150366' post='3088832'] Well we did the gig last night and it went down really well, our drummer was amazing, and the good thing to come from it is that we now know that we have TWO excellent vocalists in our band, which means we are very versatile and should be able to fulfil most gigs barring the whole band going down with something all at once. [/quote] Good innit? 😃

    We're out as a 3 piece tonight for the same reason. No fault of her own but our singer can barely speak and is having coughing fits. Done it a few times to gig when not everyone was available, it's scary but really enjoyable and you really have to focus. I'm sure you'll be ace, enjoy it 😃 Andy

    That's blueprint rehearsal rooms in Manchester. The room with the blue walls is where we rehearse. Nice place, as our singer put it 'They've even got girls' toilets!'. That's as close as we've ever got to being on telly!

    Just caught it on iPlayer. Outstanding work WoT, thought you guys sounded fantastic. What a great programme too. Andy

    Thanks gents. The ui12 GUI let's me assign the two headphone outs as extra aux outs so they can be mixed independently and used as third and fourth monitor channels. I hadn't thought about the pan left & right from one transmitter though, assume that would let me send different mixes to two receivers? Andy
  22. colleya
    Hope you guys don't mind a couple of beginner questions about rack mounting - my band is looking at switching to IEM and I've been tasked with investigating logistics. We're a 3/4 piece infrequent pub covers band and not particularly loud, we've just moved to the Soundcraft Ui12 desk so can use individual monitor mixes for the first time Drummer already has his own IEM system and the rest of us are looking at the LD MEI100. If money was no object we'd go Sennheiser or such but it is, ho hum. I'm thinking a 6U case for the desk plus four transmitters will give me more than enough room. Power in the back for all of the above plus spare sockets for battery recharger and laptop which will sit on top of the case. So one plug socket out saves me lots of faff at setup time. So questions - The Ui12 isn't 19" and I can't seem to find any ears for it, is there any aftermarket stuff out there or failing that will a [s]bodge[/s] creative solution involving drilling the handle to screw into the mounting holes and adding a shelf with lots of velcro tape be secure enough? Secondly, the MEI has a rear antenna, is being inside the case going to affect range/reception? Finally, what have I missed? There's bound to be something. Cheers, Andy

    We've just bought the Soundcraft ui12. £230 from scan so a single gig will pay for it. Just had a single rehearsal playing/learning with it so far so I'll take the analogue desk to the next gig too just in case. Looks very promising so far though, very versatile and lots of options for customising each vocal channel and monitor outputs. Digital interface is more complex than the old desk but easy to navigate after about 10 mins. We'll use it as a 'set and forget' for vocals with a bit of kick and everything else back line so it seems to tick all the boxes so far. I'm pretty new at being the band 'pa guy' so any tips would be more than welcome.
