Not sure about the modal bit, but triple C is gCGCC .

If you already have a recorder like a Zoom H4 , you could use that as a kind of mixer. The built-in mikes will pick up ambient sound, the input sockets will take a feed from your bass and an aux out from the desk, and you can plug in a set of ZS10s to the headphone socket.

Sadowsky use different pickup lengths. Some are standard Fender Jazz (100mm neck, 104mm bridge) but many Sadowsky basses use a pair of 95mm length. You need to make sure you get the right set for the RSD. 95mm sets are available from Delano, not sure about other vendors. They come up second-hand on this forum occasionally.

Sorry, I'm a folk musician so all I can do is sing a song about how great the old boiler was.

I think this will be the normal state of affairs for Concert bands, Wind Bands, Brass Bands and amateur orchestras.

If you can find a used Dave Hall Amps VTI-EQ-Bass Drive I reckon that would be an improvement, and would also do the DI function. Something with a valve in it, anyway.

I have a copy of the manual for this pedal. PM me your email address and I'll send you a copy. Mined Ewe there isn't much in there that @SumOne hasn't already covered.

Bass Gallery charge 15% on commission sales, so the vendor would have recieved £4250.

If the US artist or the tour company are going to put you on a company payroll, you'll end up paying tax through that, with zero allowance so the whole lot will be taxed. If not, you'll probably need to set up either a limited company or a limited liability partnership , invoice the tour management, pay yourself a minimum wage and or dividend and submit that income via self-assessment.

@Dood has another dodge which I found useful - use a Zoom H4N to mix ambient noise, monitor signal and mic/instrument and deliver to earbuds via the headphone out.

That's what the effects forum is for.

@theplumber you should change the thread title, since this is clearly nothing to do with a scam on basschat and it makes precisely no difference to whether it is safe to use the marketplace here or not.

There's a review of the predecessor, the CUBE-100 bass linked above. I'd say it's a huge improvement on what you have now, the only reservation is that it's probably more than you need. They seem to go through the Bay occasionally for around the £120 mark second-hand so I wouldn't want to pay much more than that. In my experience Roland gear is high-quality and good value for what it costs. I have an amp (not this one), a piano and an accordion and all have given years of service.

Had a look in my bits box but I don't have a spare one of these. You could try asking in the DIY Effects thread if anybody has one they could send you - 5 quid postage for an 8p capacitor seems a bit off.

Thanks @NOODS for your kind words, it was a real pleasure to meet you today. You're always welcome here, just don't do anything hasty with that credit card!

This is what Max from SFX recommended when I asked him where to put mine.

Not sure if they have a workshop. Guitar Lodge in Felixstowe are great and reasonably priced. So is Paul Glazebrook but I am not sure if he still taking on work. I'm in Ipswich - happy to get together for a chat over coffee, after this week. PM me.

They seem to have gone up a bit since the last time I looked. I was thinking you'd get a used Peavey Feedback Ferret for £50. You could also try chasing the feedback frequency (ies) with a multi-band graphic, or put a noise-gate on the drummer's mike.

You could try a feedback destroyer on the drummer's monitor.

We could ask @Bart Funk Bass , he was on the site earlier this week.

My 465 seems OK, maybe the ebony board adds a bit of density or stiffness? I don't know.

A used SGC Nanyo Bass Collection would fit the bill and would be a cost-effective option. There's one in the classifieds here:

There were a few about, but Paul was obviously waiting for Yamaha to perfect the concept with the BB1200.
