  1. Hi all - here is an old Bartolini TBIBT preamp. Bought way back in 1999, maybe 1998. I've just never been an active guy so this came out fairly quickly and has sat in a drawer since. I took a notion a while ago to try it out again but I think the blend pot is the wrong value as the both-pickups blended signal seems to drop in volume more that I think it should. So my caveat is that it's working fine if you know how to wire these things up, which I don't. £35 posted. Here's the wiring diagram: https://bartolini.net/wp-content/uploads/Docs/Electronics/Legacy/TBIBT.pdf
  2. Hi all - here's a rare one - a D-TAR Equinox. 3 band, fully parametric eq with 2 notch filters. Here's all the bumpf from the company below. It says 15v power supply needed but I've run it fine with a 12v and it powers it no problem. £125 posted. D-TAR - Duncan/Turner Acoustic Research Seymour Duncan and Rick Turner are two legends who spent years working with musicians, perfecting their tone. Seymour founded his self-named company in 1978 which has become well-known for its wide variety of guitar and bass pickups used by just about every name player from Billie Joe Armstrong to Angus Young. Rick co-founded Alembic, was president of Gibson Labs West Coast R&D Division, co-founded Highlander Musical Audio making piezo acoustic guitar pickups for Lindsay Buckingham, Ry Cooder, David Lindley, and Andy Summers, and runs his own Renaissance Guitars. Now Seymour and Rick are working together to create innovative products for acoustic musicians. Their D-TAR motto: "With respect to acoustic tone."

  3. Hi all - for sale a Reunion Blues bow case. Fits German and French bows. Has a metal spine, very sturdy and a plush velvet-y interior. Also has a strap, and fits inside the front pouch of my gig bag. (And just for nerdiness, bought from David Gage at his wonderful (old) shop in New York). I can't find these for sale anymore so not sure of a fair price. Seem to remember this was close to $200 back in 2008 when I bought it. How does £80 posted sound?

  6. Hi all - up for sale is a Tech21 VT Bass Deluxe, bought in June from Uncle Psychosis. All working as should, just looking to get back what I bought it for, £185 posted NOW £175 with UK POSTAGE
  7. Three heads - Genz Benz Streamliner 900 and 600, Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2 Three cabs - 2 x Epifani UL112s and a Genz Benz Focus 410 GK MB150 or a Genz Benz Shuttle 3.0/1x10 combo for upright gigs.
  8. Empress Bass Compressor - the newer, smaller ones - have a great dirt/mid-rangey grind switch. Truly a glorious tone.
  9. Audio clips or it didn’t happen 😀
  10. It truly was. It was also truly overkill for everything but Simon’s gig. I sold my UL310 to buy two GenzBenz Focus410 cabs for the next tour. After that it was rental rigs. Still miss that 310 though - such a handy, potent rig.
  11. I had a 902c amp for a little while too. Only used to its full capabilities once - driving two Epifani 1x12s and two Aguilar 1x12s, in a pretty small club - but it was playing with Simon McBride, Deep Purple’s new guitarist, and he is a painfully loud player so it was much needed. On one tour with him I had a UL310 driven by a Genz Streamliner 600 and two UL112s on top driven by a GK MB500. That was fun.
  12. Thanks for that! Found it with 26 minutes to go and no bids, but alas it’s collection only and there’s an Irish Sea inbetween.
  13. How about just moving your TU3 to the end of your signal, before the headphones? That way you could have the mutable output going to your amp and the non-muted output going to your headphones? Worth a try before you buy anything.
  14. I miss my 3x10 ☹️. It’s my one ‘buy it now’ purchase should I ever see one again.
  15. And another - though in fairness it really doesn't sound like AJ on the first track. https://www.discogs.com/release/3104073-Jun-Fukamachi-On-The-Move
  16. Yes in many ways. I was blessed with being taught by Mr Hunter. Whilst a devout classical head, with everything else deemed noise, he did allow me to play a video of Jimmy Page’s theremin solo in our class once. Main lesson I got was following scores. This was long before I was reading music, but with those little yellow books of full scores by yer Beethovens and Mozarts, he’d put the music on, we would follow along and after a few minutes he’d stop the record and ask - what bar are we on? Bonus points if you could work out the beat and note. In a nutshell that showed my how written music worked. Eternally thankful.
  17. Every second of this is worth watching, IMO. And Eric Gale is sublime.
  18. Nice name. Took me a while in fairness. Well played!
  19. I've run two Epifani 1x12 cabs - 300w each - with a Streamliner 900, never had an issues. For context, most of those times was with a 7 piece wedding band, so plenty loud. I have a Streamliner 600 as well, and I'm still tempted with this. It's such a good price for an outstanding amp.
  20. Cheers for this. I bought the exact same set a few months ago for £68 on Amazon. Probably won't change them for another decade or so. Might just get these and use on a four string.
  21. Would this tick all the boxes? https://one-control.com/products/one-control-minimal-series-usb-porter-english
  22. Thanks for the graphics - really helps get my head around what this can do. Appreciate you taking the time to do this.
  23. Do it! Quality pedals. As flexible as the TriLogic 3 is compared to the 2, the core tone of the 2 is just righteous. If only I hadn’t poured a can of Coke all round mine once upon a time.
