    2x Behringer bass chorus pedals. Bought one, it only worked sporadically, the retailer replaced it without wanting it back... and the next one doesn't work reliably either. Both for sale to someone who may want to use for parts, use the casings, repair... up to you. Please send a private message as I can't check the forum as often as I'd like to

    Hi everyone - my new band is throwing in some country style music. I love listening to it but I'm showing myself up a little. Root-fifth.. root-fifth... attempted fill... root-fifth... I can play most rock genres in my sleep but struggling to crack country. Granted, I don't practice enough - but I'm looking for some tips to get a bit more out of playing. My lead guitarist has played country bass but i think he just played it like lead guitar, and he's not great at explaining or showing what he wants me to do. So - any country players... what would be good songs to listen to and learn? How do i get away from root-fifth, fill, root-fifth and play something authentic and not "soften" the feel? Is playing the Tenessee three style rhythm possible on electric bass? thank you!

    Hi, sorry it's a multi power supply with various outputs at 100ma and a few at larger currents. Got a replacement from the retailer and had same problem only this time didn't work at all off the power supply, worked off battery only at home and then in the rehearsal room did sweet f*** all again. Giving up on these off to buy one from a more reputable manufacturer when I have the pennies together...

    Warmoth. Have a look, build what you want then adjust the price by trimming back on materials such as body wood, less exotic top, etc. Pay a professional to set it up if you like after you've done all the basic screwing together...

    £175 pickup from st Albans, buyer to come round with a bass and test at a sociable hour (neighbours have kids), bring your own bass to have a go all mine are kack-handed!! Excellent combo pumping out 300 trace Elliot watts and all the tone you expect. Extension cab can go too for the right price. Please PM me as I get told off for checking BC at work and home!!

    The retailer sent me a new one and guess what... Ok with batteries, no effect comes in when plugged in to the power supply. Incredibly annoying as I actually quite like it as an effect but won't use it enough to justify buying the Boss or other Bass Chorus pedal. I use a 9v 100ma multi-power supply which works fine with my Behringer tuner, Boss Limiter/ Enhancer and two EHX pedals.... Something's telling me trying to solve this will be more faff than its worth.

    I've done some market research and re-priced. For sale is my Trace 7215 300watt combo. I love this amp, but circumstances force sale. Its the most feature rich amp I've had and I love the tone, I just have too much cash tied up in stuff that's not being used enough right now. Buyer to collect from St Albans. It is listed on eBay but would much prefer selling here.

    This bad boy remains for sale. Any local Basschatter want to come over to St Albans and give this a blast please PM me, gorgeous amp with incredible tone and power, bring your bass and crank it up! You will not be disappointed. Open to sensible offers...

    If I get away with the bank robbery I'm planning I'll be in touch... Seriously gorgeous bass, wish I'd not got so many home expenses right now. Good luck with the sale.

    I bought a cheap Behringer pedal because well, I dont use chorus much at all but would like it as an option. On receiving the pedal it didn't bring in the effect on pressing the pedal when using a single power supply but worked fine on batteries. I plugged it in to my new multi power supply on my pedal board and it worked great at home... Took it to rehearsal and no chorus!! The effect now just doesn't come on at all... Any ideas on what I can do to try and repair? Im a complete beginner with electronics but I can do an ok job of soldering...

    Sent you a message - sorry only just seen this!!

    The power pack did the job at rehearsal last night. I used rechargeable batteries in the past and when they get low you loose a lot of your effect so having constant power is excellent. Just one of the pedals let me down....

    Bought the Caline off eBay, got very fast delivery from whoever the cheapest 100% feedback seller was. All hooked up and tested at home last night, very very pleased! Taking it out with the band tonight but aside from tidying up the loose cable length I can't see any issues until I acquire more pedals, which I'm keen not to do! Thanks for the recommendation!

    Sorry for being late but I had the same dilemma and did a spreadsheet calculating total area, cost, etc! Ended up buying a Gator case from thomann. So far very pleased with it, it's ply rather than aluminium but it feels sturdy enough for the job

    Yes and no... I started on a tanglewood p copy that was blown away by a Kramer fretless from the musicyo days. That Kramer was cheap, less than £225 delivered I think, but good woods and well put together. Wearing decent strings its a real different beast to anything else out there and bands over the years have loved it. Despite its looks being very inappropriate (black metalic paint, reverse pointy head) it's one I'm told to bring more often. This is the bedt value bass Ive had. Having said that I felt that from what ive owned certain cheap basses were not for band use: Westfield p copy, hohner pj, Brice six string. But I bet one in a thousand from any cheap basses model is a winner.

    For my MIM Jazz with Bartolinis I need to get a zingy sound with a touch of grit for I expect about half of my new bands set... I need to dig in with some fast finger funk and play the odd slap fill so I'm looking to change my strings to get the tone. I currently use round fender nickels and can't afford to try loads of different combos, am thinking steel round wound strings but not so clued up on brands to achieve the sound, any suggestions welcome!

    Holy **** that's a nice bass

    [quote name='Painy' timestamp='1442405302' post='2866678'] Check out item number 201418083669 on eBay. I bought one of these recently and I have to say it's really excellent and the pretty blue lights look lovely too! Just be aware that the UK address is complete %@##@$?@ and you will need to allow time for it to come from China where it will actually be despatched from. Other than that I couldn't recommend it more highly! [/quote] Had a look at this and while I had something similar in the past that did a great job I'm reluctant to dive in too quick and get this wrong. I don't fully understand miliamps, voltages, etc but I see this has most outputs at 100mA, one of my ehx pedals requires 200mA, some of my pedals just dont say! So I'm guessing there is a chance there will not be sufficient current?

    And still for sale, £20 plus postage for £30 worth of tuners....

    So my arsenal of effects has got to a point where rechargeable batteries are being abused all over the place. I'd like to buy a pedaltrain type set up and a single power supply unit but my past experience of these hasn't been good. I can't daisy chain the pedals because some won't accept it and I want to use a multi power supply that will not create noise in the pedals. I read some topics here and I'm keen on the Harley Benton but not sure if I NEED isolated power supplies or not...? Looking to spend as little as possible. My pedals are: Behringer tuner EHX Qtron EHX bass blogger Boss limiter enhancer Chorus and delay pedals to be added shortly, possibly a DI as an option. Any advice is gratefully received. Thank you

    Play it loud!!! Looks lovely

    Last try here before other methods attempted...

    Back from holiday, this is still available at £120 buyer collects near St Albans. Would consider trade for an electric six string guitar
  24. uk_lefty
    Still for sale. £25 posted in the UK. Its a steal.

    My new band heard my fretkess with Ernie Balls this week and said it sounds "dirty" I said yeh there's a little bit of grit in the sound and they simultaneously went "no, sexually dirty".
