  1. Bass-backbeat-pedalboard-VB99(usb interface)-Mac-GK200-Bassboard with Beyer DT770s from the VB99. This way I get haptic feedback from the backbeat and, if I want it, the bassboard which gives a really ‘live’ feel, and of course perfect sound from the cans. I play this way 90% of the time; I never use an amp at home.
  2. Well I’m glad you guys are getting to the bottom of the VPN issue whilst I’m googling how to survive in prison
  3. I must say, I prefer short scale basses that have their own shape, as opposed to a scaled down body from another bass. That way they feel like an instrument in their own right instead of a mini version of something else.
  4. It'll probably end up being like the cookie policy where we were told unless you had a banner about cookies you'd be thrown in jail
  5. Looks like the warning was sent before the system here was upgraded - I don’t think the previous warning ‘reasons’ were transferred over.
  6. This is why I tend to like pedals with a battery option. Often I just want to take one pedal, or add a different pedal before my pedalboard now and again - batteries make this really easy and most will last a very long time. If you get a 9V battery tester you can see how many hours remain so it's fairly safe, and spares are easy to carry.
  7. I’d prefer to sell both together otherwise I won’t be making any space saving in my office You’ll end up wanting the extension anyway, it works so well as a system, the stereo chorus is brilliant when using both cabs (or, more accurately, amps)
  8. Hi everyone, I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all of you who have supported the site this year—whether by becoming a Supporting Member or purchasing tokens for the marketplace. Your contributions enable us to keep improving the site, reduce our reliance on advertising, and dedicate time to supporting our community. I mention this now because December typically sees a noticeable drop in revenue, and with the challenges many individuals and businesses are facing right now, I’m especially grateful to those of you who continue to renew your subscriptions. Of course, I also deeply appreciate everyone who visits the site, shares their knowledge, and offers support to others. A site like BC is only as valuable as the knowledge contained within the membership. So, thank you once again. I’ll be taking a bit of a BC break over Christmas and New Year, so I want to wish you all a relaxing, joyful time with your friends, family, and instruments 🎸. Cheers, Ped
  9. This. @Bass4real I’m glad you’ve got that off your chest but you might like to consider that we have rules too.
  10. Their loss is our gain, I’m sure…
  11. Obvs I came in late because I couldn’t figure out/be bothered to figure out how to do a count in
  12. I didnt do a video this time but here’s a cool intro track by Jeff Cascaro gettin' started - 13:12:2024, 13.41.mp3
  13. Hi mate I’ve changed the address to collection only for now - let me know if you’re near York any time. I’ve had it ages and actually forgot I had it up for sale. Cheers 👋🏼
  14. Hi there, it is - but I'm not so sure I'll be able to post it at the moment. Are you anywhere near York to meet instead?
  15. That's the one (Gear4Music). I believe it comes in grey, blue, green and beige too.
  16. I’m sure I can find some equivalent threads from 2008ish
  17. I didn't know the basses in the test beforehand but I was able to identify the J, P, MM, Spector, Tbird. I mistook the Rick for a Jazz. I really think the differences are clear. It was definitely easier to recognise them with fresh strings.
  18. Does it accept a 3.5mm input? Asking for a friend
  19. It’s got a dedicated input for me in the top corner
  20. Reduced to £580 My band is going either in ear or in more of a personal monitor route for our gigs so I’ve changed my setup accordingly. Partly I’d like to keep this rig for occasional loud jams here and there (I bet I need it as soon as I sell it) but I shouldn’t need anything this big for the foreseeable. It’s a 500w 2x10 combo on top of a separately powered 1x15 extension cabinet (which is fed a signal by the 2x10). Each half is a fairly easy lift; either with the top handle or by carrying like a box. I’d like to sell them as a pair hence the bargain price. It’s a lot of rig for the money, complete with built in effects (drive, OD, fuzz, chorus, octave) plus three ‘voice’ modes and three ‘response’ modes. I had this at the same time as a 6550 valve head and had them sounding really similar. Live, it’s full of punch and clarity. The 15 really rounds out the bottom. Importantly it sounds full and detailed even at low volume. Collection ideally from York but I can also meet up depending on distances etc but message to discuss. I will add more pics of a couple of scratches on the tolex but nothing major.
