Hi all - selling this as I don't use it enough to justify it. There is a dedicated bass one but as per a lot of reviews, I don't hear any tone degradation using this. Here's the info: [i]The revolutionary AirLine "plug-in" guitar transmitters come in two versions: the AF1 for Strat®-style inputs and the AG1 for traditional Gibson®-style end-mount inputs as well as all others. Less than half the size of conventional body packs, these miniaturized transmitters run on a tiny triple-A battery with 14 hours of battery life. Both feature an array of on-board controls: A Power On/Off and Mute switch, red/green LED for Power On/Off and an Input Level control for different pickups. And UHF (Ultra High Frequency) means clearer frequencies with less interference. Designed for use with your compact effect pedals, the AP1 pedal receiver provides reception you can always depend on. It features a 1/4" output jack, Power switch, Peak LED and a Volume control. You can use a 9-volt battery or an AC adapter to power the receiver and when you unplug the unit, the battery is disabled to conserve power.[/i] [url="http://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=145"]Manual etc[/url] £100 - an extra £5 for shipping if required, can be picked up from Chelmsford, Essex.

Hi all, The time has come do move this Cort on - the only reason being that I've bought a slightly different model that suits me a little better (24 frets). I can honestly say that this has to be the best deal on a bass that I've seen. It can hold its own against basses three times the price, in my eyes. And that's not the normal selling BS!! It has MM/J pickups, with a Fishman preamp. Active, with bass & treble stacked knob as well as master volume and pickup blend. It's a nice light swamp ash body with a rosewood fingerboard. The nut is graphite and machineheads licenced hipshots. The neck is SO comfy, something very important to me in a 5 string. Quite shallow, very playable. Here are the pics!

I can ship (there's no case though, unfortunately) but it will be around £25 fully packed and insured. I'm in Chelmsford, Essex, Near the A12 which isn't far from the M25. Regards, Mike

Hi all, Selling my head & compressor/tuner as all I use now is my Markbass combo. It's a Hartke HA4000 (400watts at 4ohms) with a Samson S-Com Compressor and Korg DT-1 Tuner. Here are the pics: Here's some info: [b]Hartke HA4000: [/b] [i] Loaded with a nearly limitless amount of tonal control, the HA4000 produces 400 watts into 4 ohms and 220 watts into 8 ohms. Extensive tone-shaping includes a special Shape circuit with a variable intensity control that lets you change the voicing of your instrument to suit different amp setups and applications. In tandem with a comprehensive 4-band EQ - section with two fully parametric mids, it gives anyone the freedom to create more tone colors A D-Bass EQ control provides sub harmonics enhancement for deep bass tones. In terms of interfacing flexibility, the HA4000 features a special DI output that converts a buffered version of the guitar input signal to a balanced, low impedance format for driving any cable length, PA or slave bass system. A balanced Preamp output lets you drive another bass system while retaining all of the original tone settings. A Sub Bass output provides a preamp signal suitable for driving a combination subwoofer/amplifier system. Other features include a special Mute switch for all outputs except the tuner output to allow instant tuning on stage; Pre and Post-EQ effects loops and more. - Power: 400 Watts at 4 Ohms - 2-band Fixed EQ - 2-band full parametric EQ - Shape Circuitry - XLR DI Out - Pre & Post Effects Loops - Line & Balanced Preamp Outs - Mute Switch & Tuner Output - Dimensions: 2U Space, 13.5" Deep [/i] [b] Samson S-Com Compressor/Limited [/b] [i] The S com is a dual-channel, single rack space stereo compressor designed to control signal levels in a variety of applications. S com's logical design and layout make it simple to understand and easy to use. Its sonic integrity offers clean, distortion free audio, and a predictable, usable range of control from undetectable to clearly identifiable. Each channel combines an Expander/Gate, a Compressor/Limiter and a fully adjustable Enhancer. This unique circuit reduces noise, increases loudness and recovers high frequencies that might otherwise be compromised when audio is heavily compressed. The Spectra switch adds a mid-band boost to the detector circuit to help smooth out harsh vocals. The Expander/Gate features a variable Threshold control and switchable (fast/slow) Release time. The Gate's operation is easily visible with twin (open and closed) LEDs. The S com's Compressor/Limiter controls include Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release, and Output. The Auto function continuously analyzes the audio input, and automatically adjusts the attack and release parameters based on the changing level. A Key input and Key Listen feature provides for external triggering, or EQ, of dynamically processed signals. Compressor/Limiter, Expander/Gate with Enhancer Advanced Circuit Design Utilizing Low Noise Operational Amplifiers and High Quality VCA's Enhancer Circuit with Independent Control 12 Segment LED Meters for Input/Output and Gain Reduction Expander/Gate with Variable Trigger Control and Switchable Fast/Slow Release Servo Balanced Inputs and Outputs on XLR and 1/4" Connectors SKD (Smart Knee Detector) Circuit Switches from Soft to Hard Knee Based on the Level of Input Signal Applied AEG (Auto Envelope Generator) Mode Constantly Adjusts the Compressors Attack and Release Times[/i] [url="http://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=96"]Manuals etc[/url] [b]Korg DT-1 [/b] [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Effects/product/Korg/DT-1+Pro/10/1"]Harmony Central Review[/url] I think [b]£240[/b] is an excellent price for this whole combo package. It really has to be pickup only from Chelmsford, Essex, right next to the A12 (near M25). I might be able to deliver for some money depending on where you are.

I pretty much echo the sentiments of the majority. I always take two basses, generally my four string Shuker jazz and a various 5 string (soon to be 5 string Shuker jazz!). It's for two reasons - some of the tunes my band play require a five string, but I generally prefer playing a four, so just use a five on those particular tracks. Also if anything went wrong, it's far easier to switch to the other bass and continue with a minimum of fuss. Plus, really, after amps/cabs/flightcases/bags etc, what's one more bass in the car? Also, as all the gigs I do are paid, I think I have a duty to be professional and have all "bases" covered, so to speak. Interesting stories on here, especially the two about broken E strings on doubles, what a nightmare!! I don't suppose many double players bring a spare to a gig! Regards Mike

Hey, I live in Chelmsford and attend the fellowship gigs regularly - a phenomenal night. I also get lessons from Seth Govan, who's a monster player!
