  1. Great amp Rich, and a fair price too for a classic bit of kit. (Searched for a UK one for years, so mine's going nowhere.) GLWTS, cheers.
  2. My favourite strings, and I've tried most over the years. Always come back to these, last a good time for me and love the tone / feel. EXL170's suit me just fine.
  3. Another shout out for GK here. The MB800 is a great head, small, light, lots of tones and bloody loud. If you're unsure of the class D thing for some reason, the GK700RB is a great amp, and can be had for around £300 ish s/h. Weighs 18 lbs too so not a back breaker.
  4. [quote name='Steve Browning' timestamp='1497515022' post='3318725'] ..................... and why do they turn up with 10 minutes to go before you start and hand you their microphone, put their instrument case exactly where you intend to stand and then wander off to the bar while you deal with said mic and then wait for them to be served. They always clear off moments after the last number finishes. [/quote] Because they can..... Would hazard a guess that most brass players have usually just had to carry their own instrument and little else to a gig, and don't 'get' the concept of lugging / setting up gear etc. Also as they are usually great readers, some hold other band members with an amount of disdain perhaps? Also never met a brass player who didn't drink on gigs, which they excuse by needing 'lubrication'. Having said all that, I hold a grudging admiration for these guys. I've been fortunate to have worked with some amazing players over the years, and never ceased to be amazed by what they can do. Have you ever tried to get something out of a trumpet / sax / trombone? Respect!!
  5. Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul at Manchester Academy on Sunday. 15 piece band, can't wait!!
  6. Due to lack of storage facilities I need to sell my 'spare' GK Neo 410 cabinet. It's the 8 ohm model, rated at 800 watts. It's been a great cab, only being used in theatre shows by me with my GK head so never hammered. It's in good used condition, no rips etc and looks tidy. According to the GK website it weighs 64lbs so quite light for a 410. [b] Features/Specifications:[/b][list] [*][b]Impedance:[/b] 8 ohms [*][b]Power Handling (RMS):[/b] 800W [*][b]Power Handling (Peak):[/b] 1600W [*][b]Sensitivity:[/b] 103 dB [*][b]Maximum SPL:[/b] 132 dB [*][b]Frequency Resp (-3dB):[/b] 30 Hz - 19 kHz [*][b]Woofers (Neodymium):[/b] 200W 32 ohm [*][b]Horn (P-Audio):[/b] 25W 8 ohm [*][b]Porting:[/b] Front-Ported [/list] After testing it before selling, I've noticed a slight rattle coming from one of the drivers. To be honest, I just don't have the time to investigate this further, so thought I'd offer this on here to someone who has. I have contacted a speaker specialists, and if the driver needs reconing it will be around £40 + £15 return p&p. So you could have it all sorted for just over £200, which I think is a fair price. (These premium cabs new are currently £745, with GAK are doing them for £719) Cab is in East Yorkshire just west of Hull, collection only although possible help with delivery depending on where and when etc. Meet halfway maybe in Yorkshire / Midlands / N.E. for diesel costs? I could also bring it to one of the following upcoming shows with my band for you to collect from a theatre. These are in Sunderland (14/6), Maidstone (16/6), Ipswich (17/6), Woking (22/6) Shanklin I.O.W. (23/6), Brighton (24/6), Epsom (29/6) and Horsham (30/6) PM me for more pics via email. Cheers, Pete.

  7. Yup, really annoying although to be honest have found all my deals via this site have been 100% Am currently waiting for a guy off Gumtree to pay me for a mixer I'm selling, haven't heard anything for a couple of days now so am guessing he's cooled off. Quick text is all it takes to let me know. Grrrrr.....
  8. Amazing! Wondered what it was.
  9. [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1496660048' post='3312979'] Exactly. Shows what can be done in a short space of time. It was pretty flawless in terms of organisation and the Police/staff were all in high spirits. I do think this demonstrates that maybe more of these events should take place for charity. Musicians giving up time and effort and all proceeds to a good cause. [/quote] +1. Great event, with some genuinely moving moments. Mega house band, and some acts surprised me by being so good - Niall, Little Mix and Ariana herself, whose vocals were pretty much bang on all night. Not a Coldplay fan, but thought they did well too, and Liam was okay. All in all a well organised event with hearts truly in the right place.
  10. Storming gig last night at Leicester De Montfort Hall. 1200 enthusiastic punters and a great in house db PA system made for a memorable night. It was our first gig after a 5 week layoff so well pleased.
  11. Just sold a case to Graham. Good feller to deal with, quick payment and communicated well. Recommended. Cheers Graham!
  12. Edit for added meet up locations type bump.
  13. Just found this in my inbox. http://www.musicradar.com/news/11-reasons-why-being-a-bass-player-is-awesome?utm_source=Adestra&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=17923&utm_term=1272076&utm_content=321247
  14. This ^^^ Every time I hear the original I'm always surprised by how slow and groovy it is compared to the later versions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwB40qTfuvI
  15. Electrovoice EVM15B speaker, 8 ohms. Unsure of the age / power handling but most likely 200 watts - (I believe the later ones may have been 400?) Works and sounds fine. It comes with a free custom (home!) made small cabinet, lightweight ply construction and contains a piezo tweeter, which is currently not wired up but can easily be if that's your thing. 2 rear bass ports / one jack input / steel grille. Looks tidy, black painted finish. Dimensions are 19"wide / 21" high and 12" deep. Weighs around 42lbs. £60 , near offers invited! Cab is near Hull, East Yorkshire. At the moment will be collection only, possible meet up depending where/when. I travel around the UK a fair bit so PM me if you're interested - soon will be in Leicester, Southend, Liverpool, Oxford, Sunderland and Maidstone. Message me for more pics. Cheers.

  16. Selling my Soundcraft Spirit FX8 mixing desk. It's in excellent working order. It has just a few cosmetic marks and has one knob missing (which I didn't realise) and one knob not original,but they are readily available for less than a pound . It has had the original power supply hard wired into the unit, as the unusual factory connection on these were notoriously a weak link, so definitely an improvement. This is a top quality desk, made in the UK to a high standard. Definitely better than others like Behringer / Mackie etc, and will last for years. They were originally over £500 new I believe, so an excellent buy at this price. Mixer is near Hull in East Yorkshire, and I would greatly prefer collection or a meet up somewhere. However, I will post if necessary - no idea of the cost right now, but would imagine £20 would easily cover it as it's not that bulky / heavy. PM me for more pics. Cheers. [b]NOW SOLD THANKS![/b] Full manufacturer's spec here - These days there's simply no excuse for a live mixer to give anything away to a studio mixer in terms of audio quality. With its combination of live and recording-oriented features, plus all the usual benefits, the FX8 is ideal for both stage and studio use, and is particularly suitable for live recording. FX8 is a flexible 4-bus mixer capable of producing Digital sound quality for both live and recording applications. It features a specially designed 16 program Lexicon Effects Section with dual effect capability (including Chorus and Reverb, Chorus and Delay , and Reverb and Delay) and fully editable and storable programs and parameters., The console itself includes 8 mic/line inputs and 18 inputs to mix in total (including 4 stereo inputs and tape return to mix). In addition to the mix outs, two sub-buses allow groups of instruments to be sent to multitrack, to additional speakers, or sub-grouped to mix. FX8's 8 Direct Outs are individually fader pre-post switchable so they are equally useful for recording in the studio or at a gig. All FX8's 8 mic/line inputs are equipped with UltraMic™ preamp which provides a full 60dB of gain range and +22dBu of headroom, meaning that the FX8 input stage can handle virtually any mic or line device. In the EQ section, a "truly British 3-band EQ" with swept mid benefits from custom designed pots which give greater control across carefully chosen frequencies. There are 2 Auxiliary Sends, including a dedicated Lexicon effects send, 1 pre-fade send and 1 pre/post-fader selectable send which is equally useful as an extra foldback send in monitor-heavy live applications, or as an effects send in studio mixdown situations. In addition, there are four Stereo inputs, a separate Mono Sum Output and 2 Subgroup Outputs. 100mm faders are used throughout, giving more accurate control during complex mixes than standard 60mm designs, and all pots have been custom designed to give even and consistent response around their entire sweep. The use of the latest PCB surface mount technology means that FX8 fits all of these features into a rugged, compact frame which can be optionally rack-mounted into a 10U space. Applications: Live Sound: Bands, Small Venues, Clubs, Conferences, Schools, Houses of Worship Studio Recording: Digital/Analogue Multitracking (8 track), Small/Home Studios, Pre-/Post-Production • 18 inputs as standard Key Features: 8 mono channels with high quality UltraMic™ pre-amps 4 stereo inputs 4-bus architecture, with sub-group routable to mix Direct outputs from channels 1 to 8 for multitrack recording Direct outputs can be switched globally pre- or post-fade Inserts on all mono channels Inserts on stereo mix bus 3-band 'British' EQ with swept mid-band Stereo 18dB/octave 100Hz high-pass filter to cut stage rumble +48V phantom power Channel On switch fur Mute control 10-segment tri-coloured metering Two sub-group outputs Separate mono sum output [attachment=246262:Soundcraft FX8 (1).JPG]
