  1. You're long overdue a visit to The Smoke ...
  2. Very decent piece of rack gear, equally suitable for studio or live use (I've used it both ways). The two multi-way cable clips on top are there by self-adhesive stuff and will remove. I found them useful enough to choose to leave them there for the new owner. The original box is present, as seen in the photos, but not the polystyrene inserts. I'll use bubble wrap for postage. Original spec: https://www.behringer.com/product.html?modelCode=0602-AAI
  3. Very little used since Covid, time to move it on. Comes with all the little bits of cabling etc. Condition is as near pristine as you're likely to find. Full specs are here: https://philjonesbass.net/cms/product-ha-1/
  4. Little used since Covid, probably time to move this on. Yes, I do realise that these cost £800 new. Yes, I do know that £300 is laughably cheap. Dimensions (w x h x d): 120 x 10 x 80 cm, 47,2“ x 3,9“ x 31,5“ Weight: 21,5 kg, 47,4 lbs I'm also aware that Bass Direct do not have these in stock, and that they're getting quite hard to find. The Bass Direct blurb runs: Bass players, Keyboard players and DJ’s using In-Ear systems on stage suffer from lacking punch and sub frequencies which prevent them from controlling their playing. How do I sound out there? Am I always tight with the drummer? I can’t hear myself! Most of you might be familiar with this …The BassBoard is the ideal subwoofer floor for stages, studio, rehearsal room or even bedroom. Two TS300 transducers moving the bass into your body. A great experience many musician are not willing to do without any longer. Feeling your instrument and what you play has never been as intense before. The additional phones out and the vibration-proof suspension of the base plate let you rehearse at home late at night without bothering your neighbours. This is a big, heavy thing that doesn't fit any 'normal' size of cardboard box. The knock-down price is for collection from Harrow HA1, or will met within a 30-min drive for a pint.
  5. It would need to play & sound utterly sublime to justify that price tag for a bass in that condition. I get mojo, I get roadworn, I get "has lived a life", but that bass looks as if it was used for target practice. For grenades.
  6. Dan, if you do an eBay search for "Kay bass" and then check (under 'Advanced') Completed Items, you can see how much every Kay bass sold on eBay recently went for. It will quickly be apparent that the only ones that break through £200 are the ones that qualify as Rickenfakers. Most commonly, Kay Jazz basses and similar stick at around the £150 mark.
  7. Excellent device, but I don't need two of them. Does exactly what you'd expect. Run out of thing to say.
  8. No longer in use and taking up too much space, this now needs to go hence the very low price. It's a Gator case. What else am I supposed to show you? It has handles. And wheels. Don't forget the wheels. Not only does it have a front, but it has a back too. And you can put racky-type things in it. I suppose it could be posted (at the buyer's risk) by taping it closed at both ends and sticking a label on it - I've done it before, successfully - but realistically this makes more sense as a collection jobbie, or maybe meet for a pint.
  9. I found that asking Google "What's bigger than an Elf?" was really, really unhelpful.
  10. Surprised that the vendor now wants £400 for a bass with such a shocking defret job. That bass needs at least a couple of hundred quid spent on it before it would even pass a basic hygiene test.
  11. I'm using Timetree but most of the musos I play with are technophobes so actually it's only me using it. I've had problems with shared Google calendars, because of course you have to log out of your own Google account in order to access them. At least, that's how it used to work.
  12. A decent sack-truck combined with a couple of removal blankets and some bungees is surprisingly effective. The Bass Buggy works well indoors, and on smooth concrete on tarmac, but easily loses stability if the ground is at all unevenand can set up an oscillation which is very hard to control once it starts. The sack truck seems to be a bit more faff to get the bass on there (having two pairs of hands helps - a lot), but attaching the Bass Buggy is one of the least intuitive experiences I've ever had. The sack truck also has many other practical uses for the gigging bass player, of course, and everyone should have a box of cheap removal blankets knocking around, if only to cover the gear in the back of your car. You could try one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rackit-Trolley-Folding-Lightweight-Aluminium/dp/B08XW173YY/ref=rvi_d_sccl_9/262-5107001-7827225?pd_rd_w=JbAW3&content-id=amzn1.sym.d56e60fb-87bc-405a-a95d-c5e322a9b3d9&pf_rd_p=d56e60fb-87bc-405a-a95d-c5e322a9b3d9&pf_rd_r=19P23PA9K4KGDR9DBGZ1&pd_rd_wg=u4s8W&pd_rd_r=843de221-6845-4bcf-a684-58a17b01f14b&pd_rd_i=B08XW173YY&psc=1 https://www.diy.com/departments/5-x-strong-large-200cmx150cm-protective-premium-furniture-removal-blankets/5056330390811_BQ.prd?srsltid=AfmBOopublPfoTs6QLef5ghXKdo77W49tLje8mkmqkF95a1FwC2TKlpHUe4
