    After a lot of agonizing, have decided to it's time to move on my gorgeous Sterling. Taken me a long time to realise that I prefer Stingray/Precision type necks to the slimmer Sterling/Jazz ones, so am either looking for a straight sale or possibly a trade for a Stingray. Not too fussed over colour and fingerboard, though would like something that's in similar condition to mine and medium/light in weight. So, according to Aziah at Ernie Ball my Sterling "was born on November 2nd. 2000 in San Luis Obispo California". I am the second owner,having had it since approx 2004 if I remember correctly. Has always been looked after, and has n't been used for the last year or so due to me having an accident which stopped me playing for a while. Finish is Honey Sunburst with a rosewood fingerboard. It has a white pearloid scratchplate fitted,but I still have the original plain white one so you can have which one you prefer. Condition is immaculate-virtually unblemished apart from a tiny laquer mark (just near the output socket) which is barely noticeable. The neck is pristine, the headstock has a couple of tiny marks which again are hard to spot. Overall it is in fantastic condition,especially as it is coming up 9 years old. Original MM hardcase is included (with unused key!) - case is in excellent condition,as have used a flightcase a lot of the time. Think it will be hard to find a Sterling this age in better nick reall I am in East Yorkshire near Hull, but could help with delivery in Yorkshire/North if necessary. Would prefer not to post to ensure you are happy with it/arrives okay etc, but will discuss carriage if no other option. Cheers for looking. [b]( SOLD to someone not on here, but thanks for the interest shown. ) [/b]

    Here's something unusual- a Peavey Equalized Direct Interface! Err... that's a passive DI box to you and me. This works by connecting between the amp speaker output and the speaker cab. Gives a balanced output via the XLR socket. Has a 'timbre adjust' screw on the side too! Made in the good ol' USA. I've had this for years,seem to remember using it with an old Peavey head that was n't equipped with a built in DI. Would maybe be handy for anyone running a vintage setup? No real idea what its worth, so any interest/offers welcomed. Cheers

    I'll take it please! Contact me with how you want paying etc-cheers.

    Pair of EV SX200 speaker cabs for sale. As you probably know, these have been the industry standard for a while in portable quality speakers. I have actually 2 pairs, but as I never use (or need to use!) both lots think it's time for one pair to go. They were previously owned by a cabaret singer, and have since been used in an acoustic guitar/vocal duo,so have never been thrashed! Condition wise they are okay to good - obviously they have been used but are still very tidy/presentable. They sound great, especially for such compact size and weight (14.5 kilos each). Some specs for you - 300 watts(rms)@8 ohms / 1x12 inch speaker and a horn per cab. Frequency range 50 hz to 20 khz.Sensitivity 101.5 db Speakon and jack inputs. Moulded polymer construction with integral handles and pole mounts (with fixing screws). These cabs seem to regularly go on ebay etc for £375+. Am looking for [b]£260[/b] the pair. Will include a pair of speaker cables too. SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Based in East Yorkshire, but possible help with delivery within say a 60 mile radius or so for fuel costs. Cheers.

    [quote name='Daquifsta' post='594307' date='Sep 9 2009, 09:14 PM']I've just been in a very similar position: joining my first band and wondering what to do for stage gear. For me, quality rather than cheap, but also on a budget points straight away to the second hand market. What I've ended up with is an almost new Hartke LH1000 head (cost me £350), two pretty battered but servicable Peavey 210 TVX cabs (about £60 each) and some serious cables from an ebay seller called bassic bits to join it all together. Bassically , I've spent just over £500 to get IMHO a pretty serious rig, with the flexibility of only using one 2 x 10 cab in a smaller venue. But that's just what I've done - there as many opinions as there are members on here. Happy hunting![/quote] IIRC the Peavey cabs are only 175 watts rms@4 ohms, so there is a real danger of damaging the drivers with your Hartke if you give it some stick. The Peaveys are IMO a great sounding 2x10,just take care with that volume knob!

    When I broke my left arm last year, I started gigging again playing bass parts (with my right arm!)on a Roland D5 synth. It was either that or not eat for a couple of months! My band was very understanding,and helped with gear etc. Did n't find it too difficult as have some piano knowledge, and at first was quite liberating not having a bass strapped on. However,after the novelty began to wear off it got a little frustrating so could n't wait to get back to the real thing.

    [quote name='Finbar' post='589066' date='Sep 3 2009, 08:22 PM']Sean's picking it up from me I think, so no need to post it yet. That problem then falls on his shoulders [/quote] So given the fact that I drove 70 miles to deliver the cab to you, and also that Sean is collecting it from yours, maybe a few quid spent on some packaging is n't so bad after all?

    [quote name='Finbar' post='588960' date='Sep 3 2009, 06:39 PM']So the "Double Midget Bottom" (hereby referred to as DMB ) is the subbiest thing I'd need for the sub 350Hz solution, although it is still not a true sub? The PLX 1804 looks like a good amp actually, and lighter than what I'm using now. If that would happily push the DMB for some louder bigger lows than the standard DM, then I'd consider it. I always liked that my current QSC has the filtering option on it, but couldn't tell you if it made an audible difference to the sound, just thought it would be more efficient for the amp? I suppose with the extra power, the filtering becomes less important? In other news, still waiting for a reply from Sean about picking the Compact up, just to keep people updated on progress! By the way, what the hell did casapete do to the box I received the cab in? There's only half of it o_O[/quote] The other half was falling apart when I got it. Parcel tape and cardboard should do the job!

    Think its an amp head....

    Jimmie Vaughan Steve Winwood Both powered by Hammond pedals in a live situation. Saw Little Richard a while ago with 2 bass players (one who looked a bit like Prince funnily enough). Also recent showing on BBC4 of a James Brown concert from St Lukes - 2 bass players in the band.

    [quote name='warwickhunt' post='581245' date='Aug 26 2009, 12:23 PM']I only recently got that and I was only offering it to try and help sell my PA system, so I'd rather hold onto it. [/quote] No worries, thanks. Pete.

    Think you can use the Boss FS-5U and/or the FS-6 with the RC-2 loop pedal, but you'd better check if poss. Can be used with Boss GT8/10,ME50,DR670 drum machine etc etc. (And also as a sustain pedal of course)

    Am looking to sell three Boss FS-5U footswitches. (Made in Japan) NOW SOLD The FS-5U is a silver momentary type non-latching switch that lets you engage a function while holding down the switch. Connection is via a 1/4 inch standard jack socket,meaning connection is possible just using an ordinary guitar lead (not supplied!) There is also a polarity slider switch. Metal sturdy construction. The footswitches are grooved at the sides so can be interlocked together if necessary. Each switch is 96mm wide/90mmdeep/43mm high and weighs 0.2kg Used condition but okay! ALL SOLD-THANKS
  18. casapete
    SOLD - thanks for your interest.

    Had an early Ashdown ABM500 - very reliable and okay sounding amp,though not over loud for its 500 watt rating maybe. Matching 4x10 cab was n't so good for me-heavy and a bit dull,also a sod to lift as the handles were not placed in the correct position,causing the cab to not balance properly when being lifted. A pal's combo had the speaker replaced twice - think the early models suffered from this a bit, though I believe this was later addressed. Always thought Ashdown stuff was generally okay,especially the MAG range-great value for money gear.

    I have used one of my bands 1x15+horn ASS PA cabs on numerous gigs, and loved it! Same goes for amps - how come you can buy a good quality 6 maybe 8 channel mixer,say 500 watts per side output and with digital FX built in for less than a single channel bass amp of similar output/quality etc? My Yamaha mixer amp sounds fine for bass to these ears!
  21. casapete
    Are you interested in selling the Notepad mixer - if so how much/would you post? Cheers.
  22. casapete
    SOLD,pending payment.

    Bump - make me an offer?
  24. casapete
    We usually do it in G, in whatever style takes our fancy but often swing for some reason...
