    Just sold Rohan a ToneDexter II and pickup - very easy and friendly transaction, would not hesitate to deal with again. Many thanks!

    Pretty sure these work on phantom power…

    Audio Sprockets Tone Dexter II, 2024, boxed with power supply and USB cable, in full working condition. Cosmetically excellent - I can’t see any marks, all sides shown in photos. Very pleased with the results of mapping my piezo tone to a ribbon mic and a small diaphragm pair for live double bass with full tone without feedback. Only moving it on as I’m saving for a new DB…and no longer in a band! Also works with other piezo mic’d acoustic stringed instrument, here’s the info from Audio Sprockets below. Note the manual is online-only and available from the Audio Sprockets website. “ToneDexter II is an innovative professional grade preamp that uses proprietary WaveMap® technology, and sophisticated tone shaping controls, to correct a stringed instrument’s piezo pickup so that it sounds like a mic in a live and recording environment.” “[…] It can learn the difference between how an instrument sounds through a microphone and how it sounds through its pickup. Using proprietary WaveMap® technology, it corrects the pickup so that it sounds like the mic.” Price includes tracked UK postage. Thanks for looking! Note: listed elsewhere for more, but hoping it goes to a BC’er 😁

    Is that Madame Cholet rocking a Ken Smith 6 on your banner!?

     

    Thought she was a connoisseur of food not high-end extended range basses.

      Well spotted! And very true…but  you can’t spell “Kevin Smith” without “Ken Smith VI” 😁

    Another seamless transaction - fast comms, rapid postage and a terrific Broughton HPF. Highly recommended 👍, thanks James

    Superb, what a great player - ‘Breaking glass’ and ‘Yassassin’ are two of my fav basslines by anyone. And seems a lovely bloke too!

    Doubled on the upright and electric this morning, using a Tonedexter to take a feed from the upright pickup and make it sound like it has been mic’d - but without the rumbling feedback when the congregation sing back at the body of the bass. Worked a charm but I forgot to use the Tonedexter boost to make the pizzicato match the arco level. Two songs on upright, electric for two then back to upright. Swapping worked a lot better than I feared, and the bow quiver helped my ‘quick draw’ 🤠 But most important : our worship lead and team are very helpful, friendly and accommodating, as were the sound team when I bowled up with a carload of kit. I made sure to let them know that the worship itself is the most important, and I would not be precious if asked to just use the (very familiar) electric, but we ended up with a great split between upright for the quieter songs and electric for the rockier. Blessed to be part of such a lovely team 😀

    Very fair point- if I (or anyone) spots a famous player coming to the UK, then a good idea to post it on here! Apologies for not thinking of that 🤦‍♂️ And thanks for the bow video: found it here, very entertaining 😁

    Christian McBride favours Helicore Hybrids too… Helicore Solos were on my bass when I received it: I was struggling with pizz so swapped them for Spirocores and then Eva weichs, but now I’ve started bowing I’m tempted to refit them!

    On my way home from seeing Christian McBride with jazz guitarist (and schoolmate!) Kurt Rosewinkel at London’s Wigmore Hall. I loved it - 90 mins with no break, long solos for each, and a range of jazz standards, salsa, and own work. Astonishing speed and clarity, a master of the fingerboard, and the timing was spot on despite no drummer. Just sad I had to leave on time as he was going to autograph/chat in the lobby afterwards - one of the questions I was going to ask was why he brought a bow and didn’t use it 😁 Any other BCers there tonight..?
