  1. Hipshot 5-String 'A' Bridge, variant #708 (18mm spacing) £85 posted within UK https://hipshotproducts.com/products/5-string-a-style-bass-bridge?variant=31567450824 aluminium with chrome finish string spacing 18mm, adjustable by 1.5mm through-body or top load stringing quick load slots Dimensions etc here: http://docs.hipshotproducts.com/5A500-708_5_STG_A_STYLE_BASS_BRIDGE_708_SPACING_DIMENSIONS.pdf
  2. Very well-used, torn, Tom & Will double bass case. Missing a handle on the side of the upper bout, right-hand side. The worst tear is on the front of upper bout. Repaired with Tenacious Tape but the repair has failed. There is a repair near the bridge handle which is ok. At the bottom of the lower bout, the right-hand side seam is starting to tear; the left-hand side has been repaired but is starting to come away. External tape is Tenacious Tape; internal tape is duct tape. If you have use for it, it's yours for £15, which is the cost of posting in a cardboard box. I have some other stuff to take to the dump on Monday 28th March, so that's the deadline!
  3. Fairfield Circuitry Barbershop Modèle B Always-on overdrive pedal. https://fairfieldcircuitry.com/products/model-b No box. £115 including UK postage.
  4. For sale: One Control "Sonic Silver Peg" pre-amp pedal. "We captured the sound similar to the 100W V4 tube amplifier released by Ampeg in the 1970s" - https://www.one-control.com/pedal/sonic-silver-peg Controls: volume, tone, & mid knobs 15dB boost switch £90 collected from central Bristol £95 posted within UK Update: now sold
  5. Bass Bar £35 including postage Update: now sold Good quality stand, making it easier and safer to put down & pick up your double bass. I found it particularly great for quick changes when doubling. Folds down and fits into included bag. See https://www.thebassbar.co.uk/
  6. @stewblack I'm covering for another bassist so I'm a bit busier than usual! Dropping price to £450 collected from Bristol, or perhaps I can deliver/meet somewhere. I've also looked into posting, and UPS is coming up at £32 (for a box 84 x 58 x 46 cm, 22kg). I could go 50/50 on this cost with a buyer. Send me a message to discuss anything!
  7. Yes, I remember that sale in Feb 2019 as it was one day before I moved house and my place was a mess! @Zolotar is a nice guy - came round to purchase the bass at the agreed time, and made a transfer with no problems. Recommended buyer! 👍 (And I miss that BB434...)
  8. The thing is that wood density varies from piece to piece. A quick look at Sweetwater and Peach Guitars shows a range from 8lb 3.5oz to 9lb 2oz. I use a Salter digital kitchen scales to weigh basses - about £10, and comes in useful in the kitchen too!
  9. Use the right tool for the job (i.e. a set list app)! I use Piascore which is just like forScore, but free. I do have a paid version of forScore - but prefer Piascore. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/piascore-hd/id406141702
  10. The one at Bass Direct is not fretless, despite the written description. Their listings often have errors or are copied & pasted without checking!
  11. Perhaps https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Spector_Spectorcore_5_SH.html
  12. Still for sale. As well as meeting up in/near Bristol, the next few weeks I'll be in Exeter, Southampton, Worcester, Coventry, Hull, Sutton Coldfield, Watford, and Bracknell.
  13. In-ears. Angled speaker in front of you (either a PA speaker or angled bass cab), since your ears point forwards not backwards.
  14. There was another thread praising these the other month: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/453501-nbd-squier-precision-70s-bass/ I chipped in with a comment there - basically I prefer the Squier to the Maruszczyk Jake and Sandberg Cali VM I own/owned. At the end of the day, it's all subject to personal preference; but I'd say definitely give it a go.
  15. I'd see if your guitarist is open to swapping speakers for a gig to see how you get on with a DXR10. I've not tried a Headrush, but I did a couple of gigs with a QSC CP8 (1x8") as my bass monitor (with full PA support). It was loud enough - I could tell what notes I was playing - but it didn't have much depth tonewise. Sold it in the end.
  16. I have an RCF 732-A for sale in the marketplace. As for 10" speakers - for £30 more than the Mackie, I'd take a Yamaha DXR10 mkII every time. I've been using one as a monitor and our sound engineer always has me cut the low frequencies, as they're otherwise affecting FOH. This is at wedding venues and theatres.
  17. For sale only (no trades): RCF ART 732-A MK4 + fitted soft case. £475 Now £450 SOLD https://www.rcf.it/en_US/products/product-detail/art-732-a-mk4/210081 This is a truly great powered speaker, with 500W RMS into a 12" woofer and 200W RMS into a 1.4" compression driver with 3" voice coil. I've used it with bass guitar, upright bass, and synth bass, through a preamp pedal, and it sounds clear, full, and loud. Responds intuitively to EQ adjustments. Honestly, this consistently gives the best stage sound I've ever had, and I can hear myself clearly wherever I'm positioned on stage. I've used it both as a personal monitor in the floor wedge position and swung behind me in the traditional backline position. To give some sort of comparison, my previous rig was a Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2 900W head into a Barefaced Big Baby 2 - I sold that rig in preference for the RCF. Why sell if I love it so much?? Nearly all my gigs are through a full PA, and the RCF is overkill for my monitoring needs - it's way too loud and I hardly have it ticking over. I've moved to a smaller 10" monitor now so sadly the RCF is surplus to requirements. Comes with the official RCF live-in case. You can use the speaker without removing it from the case, by fastening back the flaps on the front and rear. Height: 637mm / 25.08" Width: 384mm / 15.12" Depth: 363mm / 14.29" Weight: 17.8kg / 39.24lbs Collection from Bristol, or I'm gigging this month in Tewkesbury, Torquay, Winchester, Sutton Coldfield, and London. Any questions please reply here or send me a private message.
  18. Are you looking at this page: https://www.basschat.co.uk/discover/ ? It is a continual stream of all posts.
  19. An RCF HD 10-A would work for home use, rehearsing, and monitoring (you can lay it down as a wedge). Plug your preamp in and you're all set. I had a mk4 a few years ago but there is now a mk5. https://www.rcf.it/en_US/products/product-detail/hd-10-a-mk5/1661220
  20. Message the seller directly and see if he'll accept £1075 via The Gallery. He'll still get the £900 he was after privately after their 15% commission. You should move on this bass if you want it, as Jake 5p will not come up very often on the used market. I had to wait a couple of years before the one I now own came up for sale.
