I'll see if I can find ir again!

Cool, you should try and demo the new gear. Hopefully it would change your opinion.

There is a great video with Victor Wooten playing through a mic'd up rig similar to mine and it sounds incredible. It's a sweetwater video about looping or something.

Thanks man! The HA4000 was a great amp, I had no idea how to use it properly at that age though!! 

I've gone back to the gear of my youth, hartke amps and finding I just love playing my Warwick 5 string with emgs recently!!

I think its important to play instruments and gear you enjoy! 

So, earlier this year I found myself in a position where I was offered an exclusive artist endorsement contract with Hartke Systems. I had recently played through a Hartke rig at a festival and was really impressed with the tone.

Obviously, being a fan of the amps I bit their hand off and a couple of weeks ago my rig of choice turned up at the doorstep. I opted for the LH1000 and the new HL410 and couldn't be more happier with the new setup.

I absolutely love the tone I'm getting, the LH1000s simplicity and warmth combines perfectly with the clarity and punch of the HL410. The hybrid speaker cones give me the perfect amount of high end that I've never experienced with other cabs. They had their first outing last weekend at Lattitude and Leopalloza Festival and filled the stage with glorious low end!

I apologise if posts about equipment from companies you endorse aren't allowed but I'm just so pleased and my mind is blown I'm getting this support from the company.

Ended up seeing one band at Glastonbury, which was Kelis and was great! Caught the first few songs of lizzo and it sounded great and also the lottery winners who I enjoyed watching a few songs, very entertaining.

Somebody asked why the singers sound a bit ropey in the bands. Most likely doing multiple shows a day, it's a nightmare getting around the site to each show and sleeping in a tent and getting little sleep. I took it easy and the earliest I got to sleep was 2:30 and eas up by 6! 

I did 7 performed across 4 days and last nights 11:30 set was a struggle as was this mornings set and I'm a bass player!! 🤣  a highlight was standing a few yards of Paul McCartney as we watched the sun set from the Glastonbury sign!!

I've seen Kelis so far, which was pretty good but that's it. Too busy running around to really catch anything, factor in getting lost to the camping area every night I'm exhausted.. 3 gigs left

Hi, that was me and thank you. It's a very battered alpher bass! Played 4 shows already this weekend, 3 more lett to go.

I rewound thanks to sky q. 
Nfamady Kouyate is the act. No idea who the bassist is but great tone. 

Bump!! This brilliant bass deserved to be played!!!

I think I object to the flag more than the colour. Guess you could paint t it black!

I had an FGN Mighty Jazz many years ago which was from their private reserve as I had an endorsement deal with them. Amazing instruments!!

Looks good! I finally had my bass assembled and it is killin'! 

Yeah you can really get quite into it with the effects loops, there's a good video where Billy uses two! 

The next instalment in my pedal clearout in the spirit of getting rid of stuff i dont use on a daily basis... my EBS Billy Sheehan Ultimate Signature Overdrive, including the special splitter cable for the effects loop and I'm pretty sure I have the box somewhere I just need to dig it out!

An amazing and versatile pedal that I've had a lot of good use out of but through sheer laziness I haven't used for months as I can never be bothered to take my pedalboard to gigs or sessions!

Pedal is in very good condition, a couple of small nicks in the paint you can see in the photo but in full working order!

Selling this great little booster pedal. Amazing build quality and in great condition!

Used this as an always on tone shaper, Found it added a nice sparkle to my tone and also felt great to play through, almost like very slight compression. Also great for putting infront of valve amps or drive pedals to just dial in that perfect amount of breakup!

Some velcro on thr bottom.

I haven't got the box... it was just a generic white box but will make sure its safely packaged up.

I "scoop" mids and have no problem with cutting through. I guess I know at what frequency and by how much to reduce the mid frequencies to not obliterate my tone. 

I am finding I'm doing it less though it has to be said...though i haven't found to be boosting them either.

I think its instrument dependent tbh, I find with my p bass if I don't notch out some 400hz then there is just too much midrange, no articulation etc!

There are also those difficult rooms and stages where you just do whatever you can to be able to clearly hear yourself! 

Yeah, I was extremely lucky. Somebody had actually got in touch with status before me but the emails from status were going to his spam folder, so thinking he wasn't interested in the neck they emailed me back and offered it to me. The guy was apparently not happy as you can imagine!

I don't mind the scratchplate but definitely prefer it without.

So happy with this bass! Every note is clear and even and is very responsive to my technique. People tend to believe that graphite makes the tone really bright but this isn't the case, for me anyway. Its no brighter than a normal stingray but there is definitely more clarity to every note.

The east preamp is amazing too, that midrange circuit is very powerful.

I refer to it as the Dark Lord.

Tonally it blows away my Sr5! I love it!

So below is my original listing. I just sold the preamp today and whilst checking the unit before I packed it up for delivery I have now discovered another fault. It seems to now have a faulty series/parallel switch for the drive channel. Not sure if this is just more dirt or the switch not making proper contact. In one of the settings it occasional sounds like its not quite making the connection but eventually does. I don't have the time to waste on this trying to fix it or find somone to repair. So in a last ditch attempt to salvage something from this pedal I'm listing it for spares or more realistically repairs for somebody who knows something about electronics to maybe fix and be able to use.... or if somebody just needs a practice tool, so it doesn't matter too much if it occasionally has a moment.

Not sure how much but i'm thinking £100 as fixed it's a great sounding unit and worth a fair bit more and like i said would probably making a sufficient practice tool.

DM me for any questions. Happy to answer and provide as much info as i can!!

For sale is my EBS Microbass 3 with original box and manual! This is a great sounding and flexible preamp which also includes a pretty decent tuner too! Used this as part of my live rig for a while on my pedalboard and it also got me though the first few months of covid as a pratice and recording tool!

The pedal developed a fault at some point where very occasionally the signal would degraded for a few minutes before coming back to life. Had a few e-mails back and forth with Ralf and Mats (who designed the unit) at EBS about what could be wrong. They suggested a few things but though it was likely some dirt in the effects loop and to ue a patch cable to bridge it. Tried this and it seems to have worked fine ever since so will obviously include a small ebs patch cable, I don't know if somebody more tech savvy would be able to open it up and give it a clean or not!

Another point is that foolishly I left the power supply behind at a gig recently, so it doesn't come with the power supply. However I mainly used it with my truetone cs7 pedalboard power supply and it worked absolutely fine or you can purchase the EBS power supply.

For sale is my Carl Martin Valve Bass Drive pedal, with box and manual and kettle lead.

I bought this to warm up my sound and add a little eq to the tone. It fattens up the tone quite nicely and also does the full blown overdrive thing. I ran this with the gain at just above zero to get a warm clean sound as I discovered my basses were all too powerful for it apart from my vintage Jazz, I can only assume it was designed for passive instruments as it sounds great with my jazz. I did consider putting a lower gain AX7 valve in it but I just havent got round to it and have moved on to a Tech 21 Ged-2112 preamp but I think it's quite a common thing to do to them.

Selling my Darkglass Element in excellent condition including the original Darkglass USB cable and Box, sticker, rubber feet etc. Velcro on the bottom of the pedal.

This has been part of my pedalboard for the last couple of years, playing festivals and tours and also for tracking bass during  the pandemic to get amp tones. Really versatile and high quality piece of equipment. Works flawlessy and the Element app has recently been updated with new cabsims from Eden and SWR which sound great! Only selling as I recently got the Tech 21 Ged-2112 and this is no longer required so has to go as I'm building up a lot of pedals I never use!

Hi, EBS are now distributed by Hand In Hand. They are lovely people who I'm sure will help you out if they can.

Also, always worth shooting Ralf and Mats an email at ebs as they offer great customer support and I'm sure will help you out.

I have the neo line 212 and it's a great cab! 

As far as I can tell it is basically my ebs rig in a combo. A reidmar 502 and a neo 2x12 (I think). I'm sure these combos will sound excellent, I have a session 30 also which I've even gigged with remarkably! 

Its not a huge deal.. I'd like just to have the cost difference refunded. It will work, that's the main thing. 

Not to derail the original post, hope the build goes well and look forward to seeing updates.
