    My 2nd deal with Jeff and it couldnt have gone any better. Nice guy, had a great chat about all things bass (as you do!) and super quick payment for my Mesa D800 amp. Thanks agains and have fun with it. 👍

    I'm selling my excellent and highly regarded Mesa Boogie Subway D-800. The amp is in superb condition and fully functional with only a couple of very small coating chips on the rear corners which can be seen (just!) in the photos. It comes with a Mesa gigbag and power cable. I wish more equipment manufacturers made gear as solid as this. It’s a powerful and flexible little box which I really like. My reason for selling is simply I’ve seen something else on Basschat I’d like to try. If the other amp goes then I’ll be very happy to hold onto this one. Specs are as follows: • Class D Power with 8/4 or 2 Ohm Impedance Switch for optimum Power to Load Performance • 800 Watts @ 4 or 2 Ohms (400 @ 8 Ohms) • Active/Passive Input Switch • Play/Mute Switch • Preamp features: Input Gain with Clip Indicator (O/D LED), Variable Voicing (Flat to Vintage Scoop), Fully Active 4-Band EQ (+/- 12dB of Bass, Low-Mid, High-Mid, Treble) plus Deep Switch (for enhanced low-end) and Master Volume • Balanced XLR Line Out with Pre/Post, Line/Mic & Ground Lift Switches • Headphone Output • Auxiliary Input • Protection & Limit LED Indicators • 2 Speakon speaker output connections • Fan Cooled • Weight: 5.5lbs Here's a link to the Mesa DD-800 WEBPAGE for further details and it shows their current selling price which makes mine look quite a bargain! Happy to post and will get quotes based on location.

    I agree, Lakland are excellent and under rated basses. I have a 55-02. Fun fact - I have a couple of gloss black basses that I struggled with finger marks. Regularly gave them a polishing. Then I read about NOT polishing but just wiping down with a very mildly damp microfibre cloth. 🤔 By jingo it seems to work for me 👍 Back on topic GLWTS

    Sold Lorenz some speaker cables. Quick payment and good comms. Many thanks.

    There's plenty of songs I've heard and had to (try) and learn the bassline. Some have been easier than I thought and others deceptively tough little sods 🤣 The Liquid Soul one is a "sofly slapped" line which I find a bit of a sod to get it all even....good practice though. 👍 Here's a couple I've had a go at:👍

    Just bought several CD's off Paul. Great deal, great condition, great comms.....which all result in a great reccomendation from me to him 👍 Thanks Paul

    "I am a million years away from it" No, you're not, you just think you're not ready. Best to try and get together with 1 or more people and play a couple of songs you've had chance to practice beforehand. You may shock yourself and it works first time.....if not it just gives you areas to brush upon. It is a big step to go from playing in your living room to playing with others but the sooner you do the quicker you will learn and progress. "one of my objectives for playing bass is joining a band." Great that you've got something to work towards, it gives purpose. "How did you know when you were ready to join your first band?" You don't really! You'll probably think your never ready because there some 6yr old on Youtube playing Jaco. 🤣 Forget that and just go for it. Good luck 👍

    Heres an alternate but similar idea.... LINK

    Love the newly painted look and colour scheme of the bass 👍

    I got my replacement Pro17's about a month ago within 3 weeks of making the impressions so was pleasantly surprised as I was expecting the quoted 5 weeks. My Pro10's were only paid for last week. At least I'm not desparate for them. When I got the new Pro17's I placed them next to my 5 year old pair and could see the physical difference in shape 😮
  12. Acebassmusic
    Aaaaargh! I've just bought 2 new sets and didn't know this.......Ah well, they're worth full price anyway. 🤷‍♂️

    For my cab I use this....Amp Stand Thread

    ....and I'll be "markking" that quote down for use later. 😇
  15. Acebassmusic
    You could use a dongle, but if you dont like the way it can catch your leg you could use the cabled option I sometimes use.....Photos here.
  16. Acebassmusic
    Nice bass....wrong forum unless the photos are reversed 🤣 GLWTS
  17. Acebassmusic
    Does it have the heft of an original KitKat? The D800 is pretty good too. I have one and can agree its got a great sound and pretty loud and punchy! GLWTS

    I've got the Headrush Gigboard and am loving it. I believe the MX5 and Gigboard are based around the same effects and functions. Like most multi effects they're mainly set up and aimed at guitarists but I've played about with mine and got some great drive / envelope filter / chorus / octaver / flange sounds. The interface is a game changer for me as you just drag and drop effects to where you want them. I dont use any of the IR, amp or cab options. If mine dies tomorrow I'd be throwing £299 at Andersons straight away 👍

    £2000 is a very nice budget to have and covers a lot of new and second hand options. You'll get 100 different recommendations from 100 different people on here....all correct 😁 What might help to narrow down the options are things like: Preffered scale length Preffered string spacing No of frets No of pickups Bass shapes you like eg: jazz, P, headless, pointy What sounds you want to achieve What sort of music you'll be playing Finishes - solid colours or natural woods Have you tried any 5's already and what did you like / not like about them?
  20. Acebassmusic
    Yep, I placed my new Pro17s next to my old ones and could see the difference (especially in the left one). I knew they changed over time but didnt realise by how much 😮

    Here's the ACS link, the filters are lower down on the page. 👍
  22. Acebassmusic
    Give ACS a call. They're usually very good at helping out and might have a solution to getting local impressions made. 🤷‍♂️
  23. Acebassmusic
    +1,000,000,000,000 👍 I've used ACS Pro 17's and 10's for the last 15+ years (bass and vocals). As with all hearing protection it WILL sound different to what you're used to and will take a little getting used to but worth percevering. I'd rather have my hearing and be able to gig / listen to music at home for many more years than be forced to stop. Last Friday I received my latest pair of Pro17's which I should have replaced a couple of years ago. The last set I bought was in 2018 so they "cost" me approx. one pack of strings (£25) per year. 👍

    Deja Vu!!! yet again just sold a number of connectors to Martin. Easy deal, quick payment, first class thanks

    I'm in agreement that he should have spoken face to face with you about this. It's easier to understand each other and work out a solution. My 2p worth is maybe he is aware of whats happening but doesnt want to admit to the real issues. Sometimes its easier to point to someone else than up your own game 🤷‍♂️ (Yes, I know....I'm guilty as charged M'lud 🤣🤣) There's some good points being made about unison / harmony etc. If you are singing the harmonies on key and he's going off piste then its going to draw attention to his pitching problem. As others have mentioned vocal rehearsals are essential. Doesnt have to be a seperate rehearsal but integrated into your regular band one. Too many bands view backing / harmonies as an afterthought. They tend to work on the guitar, keys, drum parts to get them tight but not spend any time on what most of the audience are listening to! I was in a band where the lead singer (very good voice) couldnt initially sing lead if someone else was doing harmonies. It would confuse them and they would end up singing the harmonies in unison. Took a bit of practice but we got it sorted. Maybe your singer has this problem?
