Meinl rim clamp. Clamps to snare or tom rims and will hold percussion items or microphones. Comes with both long and short rods and mic thread adapter, not normally included with the clamp. £25 + £3 post or collect from near Colne, Lancs.

In overall good condition. Some cosmetic wear to the footplate, see pics. Fully functional, and I have replaced the felts. I’m willing to post, but don’t have a box at the moment. £40 collected from near Colne in Lancashire.

Here’s a nice little Harley Benton parlour guitar. A great couch guitar, or for beginners or smaller hands. I’ve been quietly impressed with this thing. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a £200 guitar, but it has a bit of a voice, if you will. A little bit of bass and a little bit of volume, not what I would have expected. I guess the 12th fret neck join helps with this. It’s great fun to play. It’s in excellent condition. I have removed the pick guard as I thought it looked cheap and nasty. The finish has gone glossy where I’ve rubbed the glue off. It was very lightly glued. It’s hard to make out in the pics and hardly seems worth mentioning on an el cheapo guitar. The neck is a very comfortable c shape, 45mm at the nut. Bone nut and saddle. There is adequate meat left on the saddle to take the action down, although it’s reasonably low as it is. Scale length is 24.7” so it’s a shorty. The top is solid Okoume, back and sides are laminated Sapele. It has a Fishman Sonitone pickup (piezo under saddle affair) and Presys active preamp 2-band EQ, phase switch and tuner. Runs off a 9v battery which is integrated into the jack socket. Not the most attractive solution, but beats the hell out of having to reach inside the guitar to change the battery. The Sonitone is Fishman’s cheapest offering, but again I’ve been impressed. I play pretty much exclusively fingerstyle and it doesn’t sound half bad. Of course, digging in harder begins to reveal the dreaded piezo quack. The tuners, I have to say don’t feel great. Although I haven’t tried oiling them. They do hold tune though, which is the main thing. Comes in a cheap and cheerful Thomann gig bag. I’m afraid it’s collection only on this one. I’m near Colne in Lancashire. I do travel round gigging a lot though, so if you’re interested but nowhere near, give me a shout. I may be in your area soon.

This nifty little thing clamps to your bass drum rim and holdeth the microphone. £12 posted.

I’m not really a drummer, but I dabble. There used to be a fabulous drum shop not far from me called Chas Hoopers. I swear you’ve never seen anything like it. It was in a tiny village high in the moors on the outskirts of Blackburn, Lancashire. Think Edward and Tubbs’ shop from The League of Gentlemen and you’re not far off. Although not a big shop, it was an absolute treasure trove. Chas was a nice enough chap, but a bit tight. There were no bargains to be had. One day, about 25 years ago I went in and he had this pair of second hand Paiste 2002 hi-hats which he wanted about five million pounds for. I was a student at the time. Needless to say I didn’t buy them, but the sound really stuck with me. They were far and away the best hi-hats I’d ever heard. Kind of dry sounding and well suited to the jazz and funk stuff I was into, although the 2002s seem to be marketed as a rock cymbal. I eventually got myself a pair at a more sensible price. Screw you Chas Hooper. I don’t really have time to drum anymore and I could do with releasing the cash Ive got locked up in my various bits of drum gear, so here they are. Made in Switzerland in 1982, to say they have patina would be an understatement. I haven’t cleaned them, although it would be possible to get them looking, not new but pretty darn good. I’ve seen it done. Also, I know that cleaning old cymbals is a no-no in certain drum circles. They have no keyholes or cracks. I will also include a bottle of the elusive Paiste cymbal polish. It would be pointless using it now, but if you were to clean them properly they would need a coat of this stuff to prevent them from tarnishing again rapidly. This has to do with the make-up of the bronze alloy that Paiste use for the 2002s and most of their other cymbals. When you buy a new set, they are coated with this stuff. They’ve stopped selling said polish to Joe Public for some reason and I’ve seen bottles changing hands for ridiculous prices. I think it used to cost about a tenner. Anyway, I’ve got a full bottle and will chuck it in. Im pretty firm on the price. I think a new pair is around £350. Second hand ones going for £200-250, and tarnished ones like these perhaps a bit less. If I wanted another set of hats at any point, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t come close to these for £150. Can be collected from near Colne, Lancs or will post for a fiver. All the best!

I picked this up on eBay less than a year ago for a brief project. It’s now surplus to requirements. It’s in excellent condition, with one exception. The mixer surround is rubber coated and has gone slightly tacky. It attracts dust big time, as you will see in the pics. I was a bit miffed, but not enough to send it back. It does work perfectly and the rest of it is in jolly good nick. Was hoping to recoup my outlay of £150, but given the tacky rubber I’ll say £120. Collect from near Colne, Lancs or I’ll post it for a fiver. 4 Mic/Line Inputs with 48v Phantom power 4 In/4 out USB Audio Interface 2 stereo ins 2 Hi-Z ins 3 band eq + low cut filter XLR Stereo outputs and most importantly…….built in power supply - no wall-wart, hooray!

Height is 170cm or 180cm with the casters. Width is 160cm.

Auralex monitor pads. Slight discolouration from sunlight on the front, but otherwise excellent condition. £10 collected, £15 posted.

Not 100% sure it fits in my car, but I do get around the country quite a bit. Just sayin’😁

Big Jaspers clear out. I’m having a big shake-up in the house and am getting rid of all my Jaspers stuff. It’s all a mere 12 months old. I’m getting rid of the following: 170-4-150S Rack £250 Strengthening Set 150S x 4 £20 each Extension Set 150S with 40cm holders £35 Braces Silver x 4 £10 each Caster Set 100mm £25 TFT Adapter (monitor screen holder) £40 Holders 22cm £20 Holders 15cm £15 The rack as it comes has 4 tiers with one strengthening set on the lowest tier (as in the stock picture). The extension set adds an extra tier and the strengthening sets add an extra bar at the back of each tier so that they will carry the maximum specified weight (as in the last picture). £250 for just the rack. £350 for rack, extension set and strengthening sets, £400 for the whole lot Collection only due to size, although I am able to post the smaller parts.

I recently bought a Peli case for my Pedaltrain Classic Jr, so am putting the original soft case up for sale. It’s about 6 months old and has never been gigged, so is as new. £50 collected or £55 posted.

Here’s a lovely pair of Danish made Dynaudio DBM50 monitors. Looking very much like their popular BM5A model, only with the fronts angled upwards to facilitate desktop use. 7.5 inch woofer, 50W per side. They are in excellent condition, with the exception of some scratches on the top of one speaker - see pics. I have the original packaging so can post at cost, although haven’t checked that out yet. Based near Colne in Lancashire. I bought these second hand and am asking £50 less than I paid for them for the sake of a quick sale. A nice, quality pair of monitors for £300.

Owing to a fallen through sale, this is back up. A rare book, and very pricey indeed if you can find it. I paid in the region of £60 about 15 years ago. Priced to sell, to somebody who’s into artsy fartsy music of the academic variety. It’s as new. £22 posted

Great, thanks! 🤣
