TBH, I was hoping for pictures but then I realised I’d misunderstood. Aaaaanyway…. Could it be a dead string? I recently took a set off a bass to do some work, put them back on and must have managed to crease the D string as it went completely lifeless and dull sounding….

Hearing loss/ ear protection on live gigs?
Skinnyman replied to Tradfusion's topic in General Discussion
Exactly what I did - even though I’ve now stopped gigging, I still use them as in-ear headphones with my hi-res music player. -
Hearing loss/ ear protection on live gigs?
Skinnyman replied to Tradfusion's topic in General Discussion
I got these https://acscustom.com/uk/products/universal-fit-iem/pro-fit/ Take off the generic ear buds and the drivers fit where the filters go in the custom ear plugs… -
Hearing loss/ ear protection on live gigs?
Skinnyman replied to Tradfusion's topic in General Discussion
Another vote for ACS. I’ve used their custom ear plugs for years. I got their in-ear buds a couple of years ago. I use them with a behringer personal headphone amp and they fit directly into the custom ear plugs I had made about 9 years ago (they replace the filters). A comfortable and custom in-ear monitor for quite reasonable money. -
Price Drop now £150 Now I’m not gigging I don’t need my collapsible keyboard stand. This is the baby spider pro (18840) and comes with the original carry bag. Condition is excellent and this is rock solid in use with a 61 key Korg on it. There’s a thread for a mic extension arm or a tablet holder - if I can find it in time I’ll include an iPad/universal holder at no charge. This weighs a fair bit so post isn’t really an option so collection from Nottingham or I can deliver within a reasonable distance - please PM to discuss options. Thanks for looking!

Denon AVR X3000 Receiver No Output
Skinnyman replied to SpondonBassed's topic in Repairs and Technical
I assume your setup is like mine? Everything plugged into the AVR box and a single HDMI into the back of the telly? Could it be a duff HDMI cable? A duff TV input? Duff output on the Humax? Is there another HDMI input in the TV that you could try? Or another TV that you could use for test purposes? Or try the Humax box direct into the TV? You’ve probably tried those permutations but there might be one you’ve missed… -

On Hold; 2018 Rickenbacker 4003sw (walnut) - *SOLD*
Skinnyman replied to Skinnyman's topic in Basses For Sale
Thanks for the positive comments, chaps. I won’t lie, I really don’t want to sell this but I just can’t justify three basses when I’m not gigging any more. I keep thinking that maybe I should keep the two Rics, put flats on one and rounds on the other and then sell my Fender Jazz - but I’ve gigged that loads and I love the growl it has when you really dig in…..plus, it’s one of a quite limited USA FSR run they did a few years back, a few of which were signed for a laugh by the production manager so it’s a bit of a rarity and I quite like that about it. Plus, did i mention that growl? Honestly, this is like trying to decide which hand to cut off….. -
Reduced to £1650 This one hurts but it has to be done… I’m selling my Rickenbacker 4003s in walnut. Immaculate condition with Ric hard case and all the bits and pieces. Bought new by me from Hot Rox in Nottingham in early 2019. Available for collection from Nottingham or local delivery/meet within an hour or so from Nottingham. This is part of a major clearout so no trades I’m afraid. Scammers abound, sadly, so I’d prefer not to ship and would rather meet to hand over in person. Please PM to discuss options - if I do agree to ship it’s at the buyer’s expense, UK only and only to established BC members with positive feedback. I’m lucky enough to have two Ricks - this and a 2010 4003 - and this is by far the nicer bass to play! No sticky neck, the finish is flawless, the body edges are comfortable and it’s a nice light weight. It also has my (not) patented thumb rest (which can be removed and the original pick guard screws put back). So why am I selling this one and not the 4003? Sentimental reasons - the 4003 was bought for me by my dear wife and I’ll be buried with it! Thanks for looking please PM with any questions.

No longer available I’m probably going to PX my Les Paul Tribute but before I do, I thought I’d offer it on here. The Tribute is the “cheap” Les Paul and is basically what used to be the Studio before they started getting all blinged up 😁 To me, they’re the perfect Les Paul - fuss free, light weight and not that expensive that you’re scared to gig it! I bought mine in 2020 from Guitar Guitar and then promptly quit the band and haven’t really played in anger since. It’s immaculate and comes with the very nice original Gibson padded gig bag and all the bits and pieces. No trades, I’m afraid, just good old fashioned money 😁 I’m reluctant to post so please PM me to discuss options. If this hasn’t gone soon I’ll be trading it in but in the meantime, here’s a few pictures…

I might do this for, say, a valve amp where there’s a small possibility of thermal shock or condensation on electrical components. Maybe an hour or so at room temperature to acclimatise. Not for an instrument though, not in the UK.

How many drum machines do you have ?
Skinnyman replied to RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE's topic in Other Instruments
I have the Uno drum which is great for noodling. I’m permanently tempted by an Alesis as a cheap’n’cheerful accompanist and the elektron model cycles has an appeal because of the sequencer capabilities they have. Oh, and I really fancy an original Drumbrute. In fact, I’m a complete tart for drum machines but I’m managing to stay strong. For now, anyway -
It was this stuff BENECREAT 40cmx2m Black Self... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B089M27T16?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share £12 for a roll big enough to do a couple of dozen guitar stands 😁 There are cheaper/smaller options and you can probably get it from any craft supplier

I bought some sticky-backed fabric from Amazon and wrapped that round the foam bits on the stand that were causing black marks on a couple of my guitars. Cost about a fiver and took two minutes to do.

Final price drop to £750 This is now available for collection or local delivery in the Nottingham/Derby/Leicester are Selling my Sequential Take 5.

I sold a Digbeth preamp to Dale. Easy transaction - good comms, easy to arrange a meet and lovely to chat with. Great Basschatting, thanks Dale

Now available for collection/local delivery in the Nottingham/Derby/Leicester area Reduced to £200 inc. foot controller For the guitarist in your life…. I bought this new in November last year along with the Boss cover and GA-FC foot controller. It’s been upgraded to the latest firmware and then, I’m sad to say, ignored. This is because a) I am terminally stupid and b) quit the band shortly after I bought the amp and never actually got to gig it. I’ve finally accepted that my gigging days are done so this needs to go as it’s looming presence is a constant reminder of what might have been…. Brand new this lot is about £440 I’m asking just £275 collected from North Nottingham or I can do local(-ish) drop off. I no longer have the box so shipping is not an option, I’m afraid. Condition is fantastic and you’re welcome to come and try it out…. Pics;

I’m selling one of these; https://www.gear4music.com/Recording-and-Computers/Large-3-Tier-Studio-Desk-by-Gear4music-8U/1WUT?origin=product-ads&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAyKurBhD5ARIsALamXaHXWCLRQe-r11imyJKrA10TtewvR8SJdG31xF7bLrJ-UdALh13wst4aAofDEALw_wcB I’ve had it for about a year, it’s in great condition and is available for collection only (I’ve disassembled it but you’ll still need a big car - it just fit in the back of a Volvo V90 when I bought it! pictures available on request, just PM me Thanks!

With immaculate timing, I bought this just before I packed in gigging with the result that this has never really been used - a couple of home practice sessions and that’s about it. I’m having a huge clear out and as there’s no real prospect of me using it in anger any time soon, it has to go. Boxed (instructions are somewhere…. Or on the web if I can’t find them) and available for pickup/local drop off or I can post for a fiver. Any questions, please PM me Thanks for looking!
