Thanks for looking – any questions, please drop me a note. Here's what a quick Google search had to say about the Yamaha MG102C... “This Compact Mixer Gives You Big Performance! The Yamaha MG102c 10-channel compact mixer puts big-mixer quality into a handy and affordable small format! Many real-world mixing applications only involve a few channels, so a small mixer is the obvious choice. But no matter how simple the setup, you'll always want first-rate audio quality and processing capability. The MG102c is ideal for live sound applications, offering excellent sound quality, flexibility, and ease-of-use, along with some advanced features you normally wouldn't find in this type of compact mixer. So whether you need a compact main mixer, or a secondary utility mixer for a larger application, the MG102c is a great choice. Yamaha MG102c at a Glance: Easy-access Connector Panel Four High-performance Microphone Preamplifiers with Switchable Phantom Power Built-in Channel Compressors 3-band Channel EQ and High-pass Filter Stereo, Control Room, Monitor, and Headphone Outputs 10-input Channel Configuration The MG102c has a total of 10 input channels. Two of the stereo channels can be used as mono microphone inputs, providing a total of four microphone inputs when necessary. Gain trim covers a wide -60dB to -16dB range for microphone input, and -34dB to +10dB for line input. Easy-access Connector Panel Top-mounted input and output connectors make setting up and re-patching your system quick and easy. The MC102c sports high-quality Neutrik balanced XLR connectors on both mono microphone/line channels and two of the stereo channels. The XLR-equipped stereo channels can accept mono microphone input either via the XLR or phone jack connectors. The two stereo channels on the MG102c provide phone jack and pin jack connectors for compatibility with a wide range of sources. The two mono input channels also feature insert I/O connectors that let you patch external signal processing gear into those channels as required. Separate pin-jack 2TR inputs are provided to accept the output from a CD player or similar stereo source. Four High-performance Microphone Preamplifiers with Switchable Phantom Power Microphone preamplifiers are critical in any mixer, and a performance bottleneck in many. That's why pros often spend thousands of dollars on just a single channel of microphone pre-amplification. The microphone preamps built into the MG mixers inherit technology from Yamaha's professional consoles, and have been painstakingly designed to deliver superior sonic performance with any dynamic or condenser microphone. All four microphone preamps also feature switchable phantom power so you can take advantage of the natural, extended response of high-quality condenser microphones. A single switch turns phantom power on or off for all four channels. Built-in Channel Compressors This advanced feature can be a tremendous advantage in achieving great vocal sound. It can also be used to refine the sound of bass, guitar, and other sources. You won't find built-in channel compression on too many other mixers in this class, but in the MG82cx and MG102c you have Yamaha's innovative one-knob compression feature on mono input channels 1 and 2. Conventional audio compressors with their threshold, ratio, knee, makeup gain and other controls can be complex and time-consuming to set appropriately for a given source. Yamaha's one-knob compressor eliminates the need for an engineering degree with a single control that lets you simply dial in the amount of compression you want. 3-band Channel EQ and High-pass Filter Building a truly useful, musical-sounding channel equalizer is no easy task, but Yamaha has decades of experience in building pro consoles to draw on, and you reap the benefits in the MG-series mixers. Channels 1, 2, 3/4, and 5/6 feature full 3-band equalizers with LOW, MID, and HIGH controls. Stereo, Control Room, Monitor, and Headphone Outputs Located above the mixer's master controls, on the convenient easy-access connector panel, are the main stereo output connectors, phone-jack monitor output connectors, pin-jack recording outputs, and a stereo headphone jack. They may be compact, but these mixers offer plenty of connectivity for a wide range of applications.

Now sold The Great Clearout continues and She Who Must Be Obeyed has said that it's time to list the next item... I bought this new about five or six years ago. It’s in mint condition, full working order and comes boxed with the original power supply, software disk and instructions plus a 16GB SD card (not the 1GB card that is shown on the packaging). I mainly used this as an Audio Interface and Control Surface (Sonar X1) and, because it was sat on the desk (and because I don’t get round with the Hoover as often as I should), I had a custom cover made for it to keep the dust off (and stop it getting onto the sliders, etc). I’m including this plus a dedicated Zoom R16/R24 soft case (normally £25.00) which is also in excellent condition. I also used this occasionally as a portable recorder to record rehearsals of new numbers. The eight separate inputs meant I could use this as a DI and Mixer for all the instruments and send a stereo line feed out to the PA. Record the new song at rehearsal, ten minutes to mix down different versions for each of us (no guitar, no vox, no bass, etc) and we could all rehearse our own parts at home during the week. Simples! I even used it to record the occasional gig and the built-in mics are really impressive – very similar performance to the Zoom handheld recorders we also used on occasion. Now that I’ve relocated and left the band, I don’t need it for recording purposes and I’ve upgraded all of my home recording stuff so this is now surplus to requirements. It’s a brilliant bit of kit that will handle pretty much any job. It’s available for collection in North-East Lincolnshire or I am happy to post within the UK for £10.00. Please get in touch to discuss other options. Thanks for looking – any questions, please drop me a note. Details are below but first, here's some pictures; Here's what a quick Google search turned up about the Zoom R24... “The R24 can function as an audio interface supporting 8 inputs and 2 outputs, enabling direct input of sounds to a computer. Support for 24-bit/96-kHz encoding ensures high-quality sound and 8 inputs and 2 outputs can be used simultaneously. The internal DSP effects can be used when the sampling rate is 44.1 kHz. A dedicated knob lets you adjust the balance between the DAW playback sound and the direct input sound when monitoring. Control surface functions for most DAW software The R24 can be used as a control surface for DAW transport functions (play, record, stop) and mixing operations. You can easily move multiple faders at the same time, which is very difficult to do with a mouse! You can also assign the five function keys to various DAW software commands. Cubase, Logic, Sonar and other major DAW applications are supported in Mackie Control emulation mode. 24-voice sampler with 8 pads and 3 banks The built-in sampler functions allow you to use audio files on any tracks as loops. Play the pads in real-time and create performance for an entire track by combining loops. Use the display of the audio waveform for visual confirmation when setting loop intervals. Use time-stretching to change the tempo of a file without changing its pitch, and trim unneeded parts of loops. The sampler and recorder can be used together seamlessly, allowing you to record instrument performances while playing back loops on other tracks. Create your own beats with the powerful rhythm machine The R24 has a powerful drum machine with 10 types of drum kits that use linear PCM samples. With the touch sensitive drum pads, you can program your own original beats and save up to 511 of them. The rhythm patterns that you create can be used just like the audio loops. You can trigger patterns with the pads and use them in the unit's sequencer to arrange songs. The 472 preset patterns include intros, fills, endings and other phrase variations. (1) : Synchronization precision is accurate to about 1 to 2 msec. (2) : When using an R16 as the second unit, 16 tracks of simultaneous recording and 40 tracks of simultaneous playback are possible. Guitar amp modeling and other DSP effects total 150 types The DSP effects, which include 150 types and 390 patches, can be used for recording, mixing and mastering. Three types of effects - the insert effect and the two send-return effects - can all be used at the same time. You can achieve a powerful amp sound just by connecting a guitar or bass directly to the R24 and using one of the 18 types of guitar amp models or 6 types of bass amp models that have been brought straight from our best-selling G2nu effects unit. You can also use the 8xCOMP EQ effect, which lets you apply compression and EQ to 8 channels simultaneously. Locate functions make editing easier Set up to 100 markers and directly move to them whenever you want. Other convenient editing functions include A-B repeat playback of a designated interval and auto punch-in and punch-out. Versatile inputs for guitars, mics and line sources The R24 can handle a variety of input sources. The unit is equipped with 8 input jacks that accept both XLR and standard phone connectors, including 6 that can supply phantom power, allowing the use of multiple condenser microphones for serious multi-mic recording. Use the channel with a Hi-Z switch to input electric guitars, basses and other high impedance instruments. Supports SDHC cards with capacities of up to 32GB The R24 uses compact and readily-available SD and SDHC memory cards as recording media. Unlike tape and disc recorders, this unit has no motor, making it more resistant to external vibrations and eliminating concerns about mechanical noise. USB 2.0 Hi-Speed for fast file transfer The R24 USB 2.0 Hi-Speed port allows WAV files recorded by the R24 to be transferred to a computer quickly and easily. Computer-based tasks, such as editing audio with DAW software, creating original CDs and importing WAV files, can be integrated into your music production. USB host port for connecting USB memory USB flash drive or large-capacity external hard disk drive can be plugged into the R24's USB host port. This lets you distribute recordings to band members after a rehearsal and make backups of recordings without a computer. Features 24-track playback, 8-track simultaneous recording Built-in stereo condenser microphones Records directly to SD and SDHC cards up to 32 GB for up to 100 track hours Records mono and stereo WAV files (16 / 24-bit, 44.1 / 48 kHz sampling rates) Eight balanced mic/line/instrument-level inputs on XLR/TRS combo connectors 1 Low-Z input for connection of passive electric guitar and bass +24 and +48V phantom power (6 channels) Dual balanced ¼" TRS output jacks Headphone output with dedicated volume control Built-in metronome and chromatic tuner More than 100 send-return and insert DSP effects, including amp/preamp models and mastering algorithms User editing of effects parameters, with 390 patch memories for storage Independent level, pan, and EQ for each track Internal track bouncing and mixdown of multitrack to stereo Flexible overdubbing and both manual and automatic punch-in/out Loop playback with waveform zoom and user-defined start/stop points Variable playback speed from 50% to 150%, without affecting pitch Up to 100 marks per recording Invert track phase function Trim and Divide file editing 24-voice pad sampler (3 banks of 8 pads) with adjustable pad sensitivity Rhythm machine with 160 drum and percussion sounds Storage for 100 user-created rhythm patterns of up to 100 bars each Manual play or step entry of rhythm patterns with adjustable quantization Loop-based audio sequencer integrates recorder, rhythm machine, and pad sampler Backlit LCD with contrast control for easy viewing in low-light environments 4-segment LED metering 8-in/2-out USB audio interface for Macintosh/Windows computers High-definition 24-bit/96 kHz playback capability with DAW software Control Surface functionality (Mackie Control emulation) Full mixing and transport controls for Cubase, Logic, Ableton Live, and other DAWs Two R24s can be synchronized via USB for 48 tracks of playback and 16 tracks of simultaneous recording USB bus power SD card reader function Runs on 6 AA batteries, with alkaline battery life of more than 4.5 hours AC adapter included Steinberg Cubase LE DAW software included R24 USB Audio Interface System Requirements Windows: Windows XP SP2 or later / Vista SP1 or later / 7 Intel Pentium 4 1.8GHz or better 1GB RAM or more USB 2.0 compatible port.

Thanks for looking – any questions, please drop me a note. Here's what a quick Google search turned up about the Yamaha THR 5A... “The THR series are not just smaller amps. They truly take into account what guitarists are looking for in an off-stage amp and have been designed from the bottom up with this in mind. Yamaha believe that the stage is not the only place where guitarists should expect perfect tone. Every time you play, you want to sound your best and the THR range makes this happen. The Perfect Third Guitar Amp Most guitarists have perfected their stage rig and many have that small set-up prepared for rehearsals and small gigs but what about every other time you play? The best guitarists spend hours off-stage practising and why should you have to sacrifice your tone? The THR series aren't just practice amps though. They are the perfect amp for everywhere else you play that's not on stage whether that be at home, with friends or even outside. Yes, the THR5A is small and compact but that's far from the end of the story. Yamaha considered all the features guitarists were looking for in an off-stage amp and built them all into this nifty THR. High quality stereo playback is amongst these features. The analogue aux and USB connection can be used to listen to audio directly through the amp making play along sessions much easier. Developed with Yamaha's AV division the amp offers true hi-fi stereo sound. The Extended Stereo Technology creates incredible audio depth. The THR5A also has a two-way power supply which operates on AC (PSU supplied) or battery power lasting up to six hours so wherever you want to play the THR5A can go with you! Coming bundled with Steinberg's Cubase AI professional music production application you have access to a wealth of recording and editing options. The amp works as a simple recording interface sending two stereo pairs or recording back to a computer. The clean guitar sound is sent separately from any effects which is how many modern pro studios record and makes the editing process much easier. The free THR Editor, available for download from Yamaha's website, also offers deep editing of amp and effect parameters using a computer. Other user-friendly touches include five user memory slots, tap tempo and chromatic tuner. Also look out for the Yamaha THR Session iPhone app which has a host of useful functions helping you learn songs faster and easier. Yamaha THR Guitar Amp Sound From the preamp to the speaker enclosure every single element of this THR amp has been designed to deliver the specific sound you need. Yamaha's Virtual Circuitry Modeling (VCM) technology means you can have the best of both worlds, less volume with cranked amp tone. The VCM doesn't just produce one sound, it models every single part of a larger amp that interact with each other to produce true tone. Turn up the master on this THR5A and it doesn't just get louder, the characteristics all change. Add to this, modelled stompbox effects and impressive reverb and delays using technology based on Yamaha's industry standard audio mixers and you have an amp that produces tone so rich you'll never want to stop! The gold THR5A is one of the new range of amps added to the THR series designed for those guitarists who want to join the THR concept but already know and understand their specific sound. The THR5A is dialled with a specific tonal direction which focuses on the subtleties and dynamics that can be worlds apart in an experienced player's eyes. The VCM technology precisely reproduces even the finest, almost imperceptible points of acoustic guitar sound. The THR5A's quality finish will strike a chord with those who appreciate the rich, acoustic tone captured in recording studios. Producing an impressive tone approaching that of large stage amplifiers, even at low volume, the THR5A perfectly recreates the unmistakable response and dynamics created by classic tube condenser and dynamic mics combined with studio-grade effects. Condenser - Electro-acoustic optimized input with mic simulations for natural, clear tone. Dynamic - The dynamic microphone setting gives the acoustic guitar a tight tonal core. Tube - Electric-acoustic optimized input with mic simulations for natural, clear tone. Nylon - Perfect for use with an acoustic electric classical or nylon string guitar. EG Cln - Classic American clean tube amp - low gain preamp, 6L6 power section and 12-inch speaker with clear, late breakup. The THR5A's classic retro style means the amp looks good in any home setting whilst the virtual tube illumination with simulated orange tube glow from the metal speaker grille adds a nice touch. With style and substance this is an amp you'll never want to be without. Prepare to spend a lot more time playing your guitar!

Might be interested in a nice short scale as trade.....

Now sold..... As mentoned elsewhere, we've recently moved and I'm under instructions to downsize the collection. So, next up is this Korg MIDI Controller.... I bought this off eBay a couple of years ago and it comes boxed with the original instruction manual and software disk. Although it's a few years old now and the box refers to Windows XP, I've used it with two different PCs (Windows 7 and Windows 10) and an iMac (various OS versions including the current one) and it works fine. The padKONTROL is available for collection in North-East Lincolnshire or I am happy to post within the UK for £7.50. Please get in touch to discuss other options. Thanks for looking – any questions, please drop me a PM. Here's what a quick Google search had to say about the padKONTROL... “The padKONTROL joins Korg's expanding line-up of MIDI studio controllers. Adding another dimension beyond traditional keyboard control, the padKONTROL is the most expressive and versatile drum pad controller ever! In addition to accessing drum sounds and samples, the padKONTROL MIDI studio controller from Korg can also control softsynths and effects, trigger loops and video clips, and even act as transport controls for DAW software programs. Combining an assignable X-Y touchpad that also provides for natural-sounding flams and rolls, sixteen great-feeling illuminated trigger pads, assignable knobs and a footpedal input, the padKONTROL provides unsurpassed evocative control. The padKONTROL MIDI studio controller is ideal for creating natural, organic sounding drumbeats. Each of the sixteen pads can be individually assigned a note number and MIDI channel so you can control a single drumkit or map it to control different devices in your setup at the same time. Eight different dynamic curves are available for each pad, or you can set each pad to its own fixed level. This allows you to set up certain instruments to feel as you like, and others to always play the perfect velocity, no matter how you strike the pad. You can also set up multiple pads to play the same drum but at different fixed velocities, giving you varied but predictable performance every time. No matter how you set them up, you'll appreciate the great feel of the drum pads on this MIDI studio controller. They respond well no matter where you strike them, not just in the center like many other systems. So you can freely play the pads with both hands, hit the edges or the center and get responsive, musical results - every time! The X-Y pad adds real-time control of both flam and roll timing and dynamics. Moving from left to right increases the speed of the roll, or the distance between the flammed notes; moving up increases the volume of the roll, or the second note in the flam. This is a highly expressive and intuitive way to produce these natural drum techniques. With an optional footswitch, you can even add real kick drum parts, or close an open hi-hat. Versatile and expressive midi pad controller, ideal for accessing drum sounds and samples, controlling soft synths and effects, triggering loops and video clips, and even for use as transport controls for DAW software programs Controllers: 16 velocity-sensitive Trigger pads with LED illumination, X-Y pad, Two assignable knobs, Assignable pedal jack Display: 7-segment, 3-digit LED Memory: 16 user scene memories, 30 preloaded scene templates Connectors: Pedal, MIDI In/Out, USB (type B), Power supply jack (DC9V) Power Supply: DC9V AC adapter (optional), USB bus power (when using the USB connector) Current Consumption: When using USB bus power: approximately 150 mA (maximum 180 mA), When using an AC adapter: approximately 150 mA (maximum 180 mA) Dimensions: 12.36 (W) x 9.21 (D) x 2.17 (H) inches, 314 (W) x 234 (D) x 55 (H) mm Weight: 2.12 lbs. / 960 g Included Items: USB cable, CD-ROM containing padKONTROL Editor/Librarian software etc. System Requirements Windows: Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition / Professional / x64 Edition, USB port System Requirements Macintosh: Operating System: Mac OS X 10.2 or later, USB port”

EDIT: I've just spent a bit of time setting this up properly - and lowering the action from the egg-slicer settings seen in the pics We just moved and I'm no longer gigging so I need to seriously downsize the collection. There's a whole bunch of basses, amps and cabs that I'll be listing over the next few weeks – but the first one to go is this Squier Vintage Modified VI Bass which I bought new from GAK in November 2015. The standard bridge was dire so the first thing I did was do some research and upgrade it with one of the well-regarded Staytrem bridges. This and a set of LaBella Bass VI flatwounds sorted it all out and made it sound fantastic. Unfortunately, the project I needed it for didn’t come off so, apart from some noodling at home, and two rehearsals, it’s never really been used. As a result, it’s in mint condition and needs to go to someone who’ll actually play it. Somewhere or other, I have the tremelo arm and (I think) the original bridge - although I might have binned that as it was seriously horrible. I'd prefer to meet up so that the buyer can check it all out before buying - I can travel anywhere within a couple of hours. If that doesn't work, I can ship within mainland UK - please drop me an IM to discuss payment and shipping options. Trades? I might be in the market for a nice short scale.... Hopefully, the pictures tell you all you need to know, but if they don't, please feel free to IM me.
