  1. Discovered in loft and resurrected at [color=#0000ff][size=6][b]£15[/b][/size][/color] delivered!
  2. [quote name='louisthebass' timestamp='1484499472' post='3215894'] Good book written by a great bass educator: [url="https://www.amazon.com/Blues-Bass-Essential-Techniques-Supplement/dp/0634089358/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235602286&sr=8-1"]https://www.amazon.c...35602286&sr=8-1[/url] Starts you off from basics and will get you up and running in a Blues band in no time. [/quote] +1 to Ed Friedland. The examples are actual well-known blues numbers.
  3. I confess I used to be a bit snobby towards Zoom, but one of the guitarists in one of my bands uses a Zoom (G5 I think) and it sounds phenomenal.
  4. Go to gigs and introduce yourself to them in the break. Give them your card. Get a free website and big yourself up on it.
  5. Lovely! By contrast I have a black Duo Jet:
  6. [u]Description[/u] This 1U multi-effect unit from Boss features analog overdrives and distortions, digital delay, reverb, and modulation effects, and COSM amp and speaker simulation. There are instrument inputs front and rear, a mono series/parallel fx loop with level control, and stereo outputs. There are 100 user and 100 preset memory locations, and fx blocks can be combined [u]in any order[/u], making this a very flexible device. There is a large backlit display, and the menus are easy to access. To me the only 'hard' part of editing occurs when setting up external foot-switches and continuous controllers, the rest is pretty much a doddle. The unit can be set up to run into the front of an amp, the fx loop, or both(!), or into full-range speakers. Although originally intended as a guitar processor, there is plenty here for the bass player too - compression/limiting, octave (up as well as down), fuzz, drives, delays, reverbs etc. [u]Condition[/u] I gigged this for 3-4 years, in which time it was kept in a rack case. It is in very good condition - the display, data wheel and all sockets work fine, except for a bit of a crackle when first inserting a jack into the front input (after which it gives no trouble). It has since been in my home studio, working as a recording front-end. There are a few scratches on the case from jack plugs, otherwise cosmetic condition is good. The unit comes complete in its original box with Boss BRC power supply and user manual - you can easily find a pdf of this online too, or I can email one to you if you like. [u]Price and trades[/u] I am using plugins more now, and as ever I have my eye on something else, so it's time for the GX700 to go. I am looking for [b]£90[/b] with insured UK delivery. You might find one for less on eBay, but not in this condition, boxed etc. I am happy to consider trades via PM - hit me up as they say!
  7. Maybe something like this - mid-heavy overdriven amp? [media]http://youtu.be/SiyACb40TUM[/media]
  8. Now just [color=#0000ff][size=6][b]£12[/b][/size][/color] delivered!
  9. Some more surplus valves - you can find the first lot [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/298350-valve-clearout"]here[/url]. All are tested working on my Orange Valve Tester. Prices include UK postage, and will be reduced if you buy more than one lot. ([s]6) JJ 6V6 - made in Slovak Republic -[/s] [b]£9 [/b][b] WITHDRAWN[/b] [s]Brand new and boxed - came as one of a pair in an amplifier kit, the other was a dud![/s] (7) JJ EL84 - made in Slovak Republic Four available - two of them are a matched pair (matching value 8), the others are quite close (matching values 9 and 10) 1 valve - [b]£7[/b] 2 valves - [b]£11.50[/b] 3 valves - [b]£15.50[/b] 4 valves - [b]£18[/b] SOLD [s](8) JJ ECC83 (12AX7) - made in Slovak Republic Two available 1 valve - [b]£5[/b] 2 valves - [b]£8[/b][/s] (9) Unbranded 12AX7 (ECC83) - cheap and cheerful to keep as spares [s]Five[/s] Three available 1 valve - [b]£3.50[/b] 2 valves - [b]£5.50[/b] 3 valves - [b]£7.50[/b] [s]4 valves - [b]£9[/b] 5 valves - [b]£10[/b][/s]
  10. I believe the OP is referring to the 'and' of the 4.
  11. Let's not forget heft. Actually, yes, let's forget heft.
  12. I had flats (Chromes) on my G&L L1505 (now owned by Pinball) and they worked great, loads of top end when you wanted it. Didn't like Cobalts though, they felt like half-rounds and sounded like rounds!
  13. [quote name='chrisanthony1211' timestamp='1483965300' post='3211423'] I could be tempted with late 60's or early 70's Precisions as part payment if anyone is interested... [/quote] Why did you have to say that!
  14. That's it for now, might put some JJ EL84 pairs up when I get round to testing them!
  15. Pretty sure a couple of BC members have PF50s, just can't remember their user names! I was toying with the idea of a PF50 until the pound/euro rate pushed the prices up. Now I'm waiting for them to appear in BC marketplace...
  16. I think the problem may lie with Audacity. If I record to Audacity on my iMac I sometimes get clicks like that, especially when the signal approaches 0dB. Try the same setup but recording into GarageBand.
