  1. Welcome from a fellow Bucks lad!
  2. When I play in Isabelle, I just do bv's. Space is often tight so I use a headset mic. I use a Sennheiser Freeport jobbie. Sounds good and not let me down so far. Trouble with them is you've got no dynamic control so can't back off the mic, and anything you say is heard by the crowd so you have to switch it off to talk to the band.
  3. She's also got the vintage style tuners for more of a vintage vibe . .
  4. I've got a feeling this used to be mine. If so, she's a good 'un!
  5. Been lurking for a Fortress for blooming ages, you just don't see many for sale these days. I can't understand why this Streamer isn't shifting at that price. Hope it sells soon buddy.
  6. I was about to buy this - then a Fortress came up.
  7. Behringer XM 8500 for me. I always use one for live vocals in preference to the 58 I keep as a spare. Often also used one in a kick drum. Robust, to my ears, a crisper sound with more pronounced hi mid and better feedback rejection than a 58
  8. When I'm learning a song that's a little bit out, tuning wise, I import it into logic, pitch shift it the appropriate amount to bring it into tune then bounce a copy of it I to my collection so it's always there for reference
  9. Made in Taiwan, I believe in 1998. Alder body, four string. Three band active EQ with full passive bypass. The pickup selector switch has been professionally changed. Dunlop Straplocks fitted - the bloody screw broke off when I was putting the straplock on the top horn so this one has been moved over slightly. Some minor dings on the body, tiny bit of buckle rash on the back and some scratching around the bottom of the body - all pictured. A couple of tiny dinks on the back of the neck, near the nut, which I've tried to photograph but are really not very significant. Nice low buzz free action, 2mm at the twelfth fret, a little bit of fret wear shown but nothing significant. Could do with new strings. Slight crackle on bass control which disappears if you give it a couple of twists. Weight 8.6 lbs on bathroom scales. Comes with a free 'Aum' sticker for added serenity. This doesn't cover any nastiness and can be removed if preferred. Prefer pickup from Milton Keynes but can ship at buyers risk/cost. £250 £225 cash or Bank Transfer. This is a really fruity and resonant bass with no real issues. Truss rod works fine and the EQ is incredibly versatile. I'm reluctant to sell but my addictive personality has resulted in a collection that's way too big so some of my less collectible stuff has got to go. having said that, it's a lot of bass for the money so please don't offend me with silly offers. Only trades I'd consider would concern Canon full frame camera gear. If anyone wants any more pics, let me know. Thanks for looking and have a fab weekend!
  10. Barefaced Four10 for sale including Roqsolid cover. A great sounding and loud cab but too much for my needs. I'm getting away with a Big Baby 2 these days, and if i need more I stick the BB2 on top of a little Eden 1x12 cab which sounds immense and is easier to carry. Everything you need to know about them is here: https://barefacedbass.com/product-range/four-10.htm Bought from Lozz. I'm looking for £700 £650 (which i think is what I paid for it) Would cost you £899 new. It's not immaculate, there's some paint scratches to the front grill and scuffs on the tolex on the back. No rips or tears though and functioning as it should. Collection from Sunny Milton Keynes only, payment by cash. Only trades I'd consider would be for Canon full frame camera gear. Thanks for looking and have a lovely weekend.
  11. Try putting a jack lead between the fx send and return sockets. Sometimes these need replacing.

    I've found Markbass heads to be pretty flaky if you go even a little bit below 4 ohms.
  13. Not sure I'd go for the £20 delivery!!
  14. Welcome dude. I'm from MK too. Saw you a clue of mo this back at The Cannon. I know Jez and Gareth from fof. Welcome to basschat! Colin
  15. These Bubinga Corvettes are killer basses. I'll be gigging mine tonight. GLWTS
  16. Almost correct - printed on the chassis it says: 'Caution bridged speaker output. Speaker negative is live and must be isolated from chassis. Do not touch 1/4" jack plug while amplifier is operating'
  17. Apparently, when the ELF was designed, they made a point of putting a realistic power rating on it. As I've said before, my ELF, with a Barefaced Big Baby 2 is easily loud enough to gig, on its own in a small venue and with PA support at a large venue. I don't think class D watts are necessarily quieter than normal watts, but I think a lot of the manufacturers of class D amps are being misleading about their power ratings. My GK MB500, for example, is class D and has as much volume as I could ever imagine wanting. When talking about the ELF 'only' giving 130 watts at 8 ohms, remember that watts are logarithmic. To double that volume you need to increase the watts by a factor of x10 so you'd need a 1300 Watt amp. I know that's possibly an oversimplification, but take it from me, the ELF isn't a mis sold toy, it's a serious bit of kit. So long as your expectations are realistic it'll serve you well!
  18. I've got a 58 but use Beringer XM8500's instead for my vox and kick drum. Cheap, hardy, good FB resistance and suits my voice. They've really been through the mill and still going strong.
  19. I bought mine as a spare. Love the tone so much I use it most of the time now. Only been for small venues so far, but with two cabs I'm pretty sure it'll do for larger stuff. Bass always goes through the PA anyway. Imagine one with a dinky 12 band graphic on and illuminated front panel - that would be mega!
  20. Dude - we need to do lunch again!
