FS: Grace Felix preamp and custom case
Apeneck Sweeney replied to Beedster's topic in EUBs & Double Basses For Sale
Having the pelican case is a big plus too. Last year I got a similar deal on a 'as new' Mark1 that had been returned unopened. I use it with a GR powered speaker. Highly recommend this bit of gear. I sometimes blend an ischell mic with my Full Circle but it sounds great with just the FC. Also used it on a doubling gig with bass guitar and double. GLWTS -
Great amps. If the new owner doesn't want to use your ingenious solution to "amp walk" then they could try a rubber bar mat like this It works a treat and I also use it for my Grace Felix when it's on top of my GR powered cab..the Grace doesn't walk like the Mesa but it did get pulled off onto the floor once when I caught my foot in a cable.

I'm trying to get in touch with Peter Georgiadis from Gallery Strings. I haven't spoken to him since 2018 and only have a Hastings landline and email address. I've had no luck with either. I have a nagging feeling that he may have moved. Does anyone have a contact number for him and can DM me with it please?

Anyone using Apple Music over Spotify?
Apeneck Sweeney replied to lidl e's topic in General Discussion
I've used a lot of different streaming sites. started on Spotify, moved to Deezer for a couple of years, tried Apple Music, then to Google Play (which I left when it merged with youtube), and have been using Qubuz for the last couple of years. It's a little more but I prefer it. Like nige1968 I hated what Apple did to the artwork so I left it after the 3 month trial. I also find iTunes slow and bloaty, though I do have a stupidly large number of files in my library which I could try and pare down to a more manageable second library as default. I tend to use VLC when I need to play something on my mac as it's quicker. -
Rio has just travelled up to Manchester and bought my Mo Clifton EUB. Very easy, quick communications and a pleasure to meet and do business with. I'm glad that the bass has found a good new home.

For sale my Clifton Electric Upright Bass. £1475 It’s around 25 years old, an early one, serial no 014. It’s been well used and gigged and has a few knocks to show for it (we are in the ‘roadworn’ age). It plays really well and has an ungigged set of Thomastic Dominants on it. I promised myself I would sell it after buying an Eminence 3 years ago so I took it to my luthier to get it tidied up and to get the scoop out of the fingerboard. Embarrassingly, I’d played it for over 20 years and not thought to get this work done on the finger board while getting it shot. The problem I had was when I got it home I found that it now played so much better than it ever had and I was reluctant to move it on. I’d mainly used it for Cuban gigs but I’m doing most of those on 5 string bass guitar now and the Eminence holds it own if I need upright. I am a self confessed gear hoarder but I’m going to be strong. I was in touch Mo recently to find out what size the bridge adjuster wheels were as I was thinking of swapping the Full Circle for a Yamahiko on my double bass and wanted to know if I’d be able to fit the FC to the Clifton. It’s a different size (8mm) so I couldn’t do it but I found out Mo has retired and is not making these anymore. The bass feels very comfortable due to the floating shoulder matching exactly where your body rests against a double bass. The pickup is a David Gage Realist Copperhead. (There’s also an old Underwood on it in the photos. I was experimenting with blending the two. I’ve taken it off and have misplaced it.) It also comes with a very sturdy Yamaha cymbal stand, which is much stronger than the original stand, and a fitted case. The stand has a missing rubber foot but that’s never been a problem. The logo has worn off the headstock (pictured). The shoulder and back rests are removable and I have included the bag I store them in.I've just discovered the bag has an old set of Evah Pirazzi in it which I'll include in case you don't like the Dominants. I’m not going to be able to post this. I’m based in Manchester and am happy for people to come and try it out.

I'd been looking at the FMC 2x8 https://fmc-audio.jimdo.com/produkte/8-boxen/2-x-8-boxen/ and the RevSound RS28V https://www.revsound.net/collections/bass-cabinets/products/rs28v I'm drawn to the RevSound but the FMC looks interesting. It would be mainly for double bass, though not exclusively. has anyone had any experience of either or both? I've been in touch with both of them but still haven't heard back from FMC about delivery, VAT and that that shall be unnamed (that makes the last question necessary).

Just bought some Tempera strings from Rabbie. Very easy to deal with. Strings were well packed and arrived safely. Excellent communication. (Next time I'll try not to give my old postcode as this confused the delivery driver.)
