    For sale is my Tech21 MidiMoose pedal. I have had 2 of these in the past and this one is now surplus to requirements. In great, fully functional condition with only slight scuffing on a couple of corners. The pedal is robust and great for sending midi messages to other midi equipment / synths / DAW / effects etc. I used it with my TC G-Major. Powered by either a wall wart (supplied) or more usually a single 9v battery. Here a link to the Tech21 website and operating manual - Tech21. The pedal is simple to use and integrates into any midi system. It has been superceded by the Midi Mongoose a slightly smaller unit with less function switches (usually £150-ish). Shipping in the UK £5.

    For sale are my used but not abused EMS 500 19" rack cases. The 2 racks are available separately or together. Both racks are set up the same and currently assembled as 6U but can be reconfigured as 3U, 6U, 9U or 12U with removable top. The lower rack is currently assembled to a board with castors which isn't included in the sale and will be removed before shipping.........unless you really, really want it and then it would be an extra £20 and whatever the increased postage is. These are quite special cases as they are modular construction where you can increase or decrease the number of rack spaces by easily adding or removing side and end panels. All you need is an allen key! You can also use them with a mixer installed in the top and the top panel can be easily removed! See the photo of how I had the units set up for my band PA. (None of the rack equipment is included.) All catches etc are in good condition. Rack to rack depth is 48cm. Weight per 6U assembly is 18lbs / 8.2kg. See the attached brochure for more details. The 6U Gator version of this case weighs 13lbs so slightly lighter but is NOT as rigid, road resilient or has the flexiblity options. As these are modular I would propose they are dismantled and flat packed for shipping to reduce the cost. I'll give details on how to re-assemble if you need but its quite straight forward. I've estimated UK postage to be £15 per unit. 6U Rack Unit 1 - the upper 6U rack unit in the photos on its own - £90 6U Rack Unit 2 - the lower 6U rack unit in the photos on its own - £90 Both 6U rack cases - £160 Board with castors - £20 EMS.pdf

    I have just gone through a lot of my studio / PA gear and removed the excess insert and patch cables etc. and have gathered together quite a collection of connectors. Some of the items are brand new never been used but all are in great condition and fully functional. I could be persueded to a bulk buy reduction. Postage would be based on how many and destination. The table below gives as much info on model / style as I know.

    For sale is my Smooth Hound wireless system in great condition complete with power supply / adaptors and instructions. This was a backup to my other Smooth Hound unit so hasn't had much use. Postage for the UK would be £5. Website is here.

    I've been looking at amp / speaker / hpf specs etc and have come up with a bit of a "theory" on this. I used to own a Puma 900 and it was a great amp and from what I can see the Eich is a slighly improved / re-badged version so I'll bass (😉) my thoughts on this. As we know, the idea of a high pass filter (HPF) is to reduce the low frequency part of the signal so that the sound is cleared up, speakers are not pushed too far and amp power is not wasted on inaudible and/or unreproducable frequencies. This allows all the energy to be used to push the relevant frequencies, resulting in greater punch and clarity. A quick look at quality bass speaker designs (Barefaced, Vanderkley, Bergantino etc) shows that their operating range starts from 40hz and heads upwards. Trying to put frequencies lower than 40hz at high volumes through them will probably end in tears. This is where a HPF comes in and one of the popular and highly reccomended ones is the micro-Thumpinator which filters out frequencies below 25Hz. If you look at the EQ frequency centres for the Eich amp and think of the Lo and Lo-Mid in a slighly different way you in effect have a built in adjustable HPF! The Lo control cuts and boosts around 30Hz so if you use it to cut the signal it acts like a micro-Thumpinator. You then can use the Lo-Mid @250Hz to help shape the low end ouf your sound. It seems a bit counterintuitive turning the bass knob down to sound more like a bass but I've tried this out live with a number of different amps cutting the lows and boosting the low-mids and find it cleans up the sound and gives it more punch....YMMV. Maybe Magan Trainor should have sung "It's All About The Bass (Knob)" 🤣

    For sale is my TC Electronic GMajor-2 multi effects unit in fully working condition and updated to the latest firmware. Pictures show it in its usual rack home (rack not included). Although most of the standard effects are aimed at the guitarist I have found the compressor, gate, flanger, phaser and octaver (up and down) etc. to be very useable for bass. I can either factory reset before shipping or leave the presets I have created intalled. It has built in EQ, noise gate, compressor, reverbs, delays, wahs, octaver, tremolo, phaser, flanger etc each of which can be switched in / out from the front panel as required. I have been using this via my amps effects loop and found the compressor (and all the effects) just add their effect without changing the fundamental sound of the bass. Comes with original box and operating manual. You can use the unit in your DAW as well as with your bass / guitar etc. Patches can be easily selected from the front panel or attach a midi-pedal (I used a MidiMoose which is for sale seperately on here). There is also some Vyzor software you can download from the net which allows you to interface your PC with the GMajor-2 to edit and backup your user patches. I have also attached the GMajor-2 and Vyzor manuals below. tc_electronic_g-major_2_manual_english.pdfVyzor_G-Major2_Quick-Start.pdf I estimate UK shipping about £10 to £15.

    Sold some pickups to Steff. Easy experience and quick payment. Thanks

    I have a set of Voiced Tone VTB-ST pickups that I have taken out of my Cort Elrick NJS-5. Clear sounding and hum cancelling they are standard Fender 5 dimensions as shown in the photos. Only reason I changed them out is I had a set of Nordstrands that suit my needs better. From the Cort website here - "The new Voiced Tone VTB-ST single-coil pickups perfectly complement the big robust sound of the bass with modern clarity, transparency and vintage warmth while eliminating noise with its hum canceling design." Further info is here. Shipping in the UK included.

    Just did a trade with Keir of my Roscoe with his ACG (a brand I've been wanting to try). Everything went smoothly and I'd be happy to deal again with him.
  11. Acebassmusic
    As others have said Lee is a great guy to deal with. He just bought my Berg Forte. Great comms, quick payment. Many thanks.

    I know what you mean about offset bodies....loved the sound of the Thumb I had but found the short top horn pushed things a little too far to the left. I cant say I've really noticed the Roscoe being "left biased". I have fitted Dunlop dual use straplocks where they can be used with a standard strap or the Dunlop fittings. When I double checked where the Dunlop straplock plugs in, its at the 13th fret.

    Thanks for the offer but yeah, not what I'd be interested in 👍 GLWTS

    Something like this from North West Guitars. Nitro is quite toxic to spray and I believe needs special respirators, venting etc. Does it need to be nitro as there are "safer" options.

    For sale (or trade) is my Cort Elrick NJS 5 bass. The sale includes the Cort gig bag. There are some very small marks from use but easily missed and hard to photograph. The bass is as stock but I did swap the control knobs out. The original ones can be refitted and / or included in the sale (see the last photo). The same Bartolini preamp that’s installed on the US made original Elrick NJS basses is used, with 3-band EQ, 2-way push/pull mid select, and push / pull active bypass. Hum-cancelling Voiced Tone VTB-ST pickups. Wiring diagram attached. Elrick NJS 5 Wiring.pdf Why sell? Well, the merry-go-round of gear continues and I’ve decided I need to apply the rule as one comes in, another goes out. Not only that but I own 2 of these they’re that good. My initial idea was to defret one and get back into some fretless playing. Since then I came to my senses as I remember I’ve tried fretless several times in the past and it was not pretty! Collection preferred from Aberdeen so you can try it out. As Aberdeen is a long way from most of civilisation, I will ship to mainland UK at cost using Parcelforce. I’ve estimated this based on a London postcode to be £20 via Express24 (without insurance) Specs: Body: Alder Neck: Bolt-On, 3pcs Hard Maple Fretboard: Hard Maple, 24 frets with Zero Fret Inlay: White Pearloid Block Scale: 35" (889mm) 18mm string spacing at the bridge Pickups: Voiced Tone VTB-ST Electronics: Bartolini Elrick NJS Special Preamp (NTMB+F) Tuners: Hipshot Ultralite Weight 9lbs (bathroom scales)

    It took me a while to get my head around this when I was first trying to install series / single / parallel switches in one of my basses. I then came upon this diagram showing 2 types of DPDT switch connections. It looks like the one in your diagram is type 1. Using this diagram and inserting the switch connections (in red) onto your diagram lets you see the current flowpath. Parallel Series Single This one is different because (for the top pickup) the current flows from the + , throught the black wire / pickup / white wire to the switch and then on to ground. Although the green wire is connected to the switch terminal the flow gets dead ended throught theother pickup to the red wire. Hope this helps
