    We had an excellent gig, decent turnout considering it was -10c on my way home...at least new heaters inside made for a nice warm room!

    I will be playing this coming Thursday 8th Dec 2022 with The PAPA GEORGE BAND at the Farnham Maltings in the Cellar Bar starting 8.30pm. George has run his own bands for decades playing his brand of blues rock, U.K. and USA blues awards, he is a real deal musician earthy and great attitude. He was regularly joined onstage by Gary Moore. Brendan O’Neill is on drums who was Rory Gallagher’s man for many years and Nine Below Zero’s…we’ve all ‘done our time’ on the road. It’s an arts centre so pay at the door entry on this one….

    Top writers of their time, such a big selection and style of songs through their time together from their first pop albums and singles through flower power, a top rhythm section and melodic playing from McCartney and Ringo. Yes they are of a certain period in music at that time but still sell and two of those ol’ boys still tour. They must be very happy to have come from very humble backgrounds and are still able to play music into their 70’s and get an audience. Not bad when you think about it!

    I would like front ported bass cabinets too….the new cabs in a 2x12 are shorter and wider than older 2x12 options, I would like to see a side front port on those.

    You should email direct to Seymour D in America....companies need feedback direct to them especially if you are buying new pickups with continued faults. They may even, if you are lucky, ask for the pickups to be sent to them (via their UK distributor hopefully) and should replace them for you.

    2023

    mybass replied to slystewart's topic in General Discussion

    I book a fair amount of gigs and I've already said to one 'agent' for a 2023 gig, one band I book out won't be doing what would have been a welcome gig, simply because after fuel and a few expenses, each member would have got home after two days driving and a late night gig, with about £80. For older and those closer to being a professional aka earning from music as a living, we are all counting the cost of recent and exorbitant increases and so we should be trying to raise our fees many of which have simply not gone up for well over ten years and more! Maybe a little at a time but it simply has to be done.

    What an interesting instrument, I’ve never seen one of these….and out of interest, would you know the scale length?

    £85 includes UK postage. (I can't figure out why I can edit the 'Title' wording but not that £90 figure?). These are as brand new, fitted and tried out. I preferred these over Nordstrand. Great P pickup replacement, solid full sound with a touch of bight to them. Here is Bartolini's take on them.... "Our b-axis P-Bass® Pickups are all about enormous, clear tone. They feature a new and unique fully encapsulated Alnico V exposed pole design, and yet they are still fully shielded like all our enclosed pickups. The cable is shielded as well. b-axis Jazz bass pickups are dual-inline hum-cancelling design for use in professional venues and studios. They are sweat-proof and won’t make nasty noises if you touch them. b-axis pickups are super punchy and bright, but also warm. They have outstanding articulation, attack, and harmonic response. Musicians who play jazz, rock, country, gospel, and hip-hop are already finding their voice in b-axis pickups.

    Bought (£65) a couple of weeks ago to make up a smaller pedal board, great sounds with simple controls but its not rocking my boat over my MXR chorus sounds which has more variants. The plunge/foot switch might need more attention or more playing but I’ve switch cleaned it and the rotary knob too…..sounds clean in operation. Post probably a few quid. 9v power supply or battery. Decent all clean condition, doesn’t look to have been used much at all.

    Shouldn’t be a problem then, the bigger the cab the better I would think.
  15. mybass
    By ‘powered PA’ do you mean a mixer amp…..something like this pictured below yes it could be plugged into any speaker but a bass cab may not carry vocals very well, maybe add more tweeter if the cab has one….I’ve played an mP3 through my markbass amp and speaker setup.

    I’ve used these for some years https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/323820720590 they are Gotoh large size strap button/holders that hold strap really well and can also manage to take the good old grolsch type rubber bottle washer for added secureness. Or buy these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fender-Strap-Blocks-2-Pair/dp/B00B5LDMH6/ref=asc_df_B00B5LDMH6/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310810391039&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16361758994654098986&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9045763&hvtargid=pla-406164098313&psc=1&th=1&psc=1

    Now getting a new part from Ibanez…
  18. mybass
    ……thinking maybe an errant earthing problem may be cutting into the signal somehow?

    I picked up this very nice Ibanez SR 750 last year, not quite the wood I preferred but with Nordstrand pickups and the Ibanez passive/active switching. Problem at first…..the active mid control had no effect. I looked at the wiring and was surprised and how much was pressed in and packed down, I couldn’t believe Ibanez could use so much. (I’ve put in three way active units before with half the amount of wires in other basses) I finally found an unsecured wire coming off the mid control to a small board, soldered it in and the mid now works. The problem now is that in passive mode the balance control works weird….in centre it’s okay but turning to the bridge or neck pickup yields quite a drop in volume until the control is set right back or right forward and even then it’s not as powerful as pre the active repairs. Any ideas because I have none left. Anyone have an Ibanez bass that they’ve found a better active unit for. Thanks in advance..

    All the best with the ops and speedy recovery.

    Have a great day, unfortunately covid has scuppered huge amounts of plans and gigs for me, energy levels at an all time low too. Drat and double drat.

    Some crazy synth bass sounds available off it, as well as sounding really good for a small combo. I think punching in the R/B and Rock buttons together gains access to the ‘synth’ and a couple of the rotary controls then help scroll through sounds.

    This cab has been on Ebay with some interest offers. I forwarded an acceptance of an offer at £325 on EBay but so far I haven’t heard back so I’ll put the price here for the same at £325….. first come first bought……as new, with new cover, mega cabinet. £350 for both the cabinet and fitted Roqsolid cover, both are as new. I've used it once only alongside a Ninja 2x12" which was a huge sound! I think this cab has a ceramic speaker hence the weightier cab. Its also larger and therefore heftier in sound over the usual sized MB single 12" cabs. It can easily pair up with another 8 ohm cabinet to present a 4 ohm load to your amp, which usually means getting the most power/volume out of the amp. These cabs were around £560-600 new without cover (Roqsolid cover cost me around £50+) so this is a great price for an as new cab and cover. Collection/trial welcome, I am down the A3 Hampshire/Surrey borderland or I can meet up the A3 / M25 interchange. Postage can be arranged, looks like from £15 upwards for extra insurance. Now on EBay. Here are specs off the MB website: IMPEDANCE 8ohms SPEAKER SIZE 1×12 in. BASS PORT rear TWEETER 1″ compression driver with custom horn POWER HANDLING 800W RMS (AES Standard) CROSSOVER FREQUENCY 3.5 kHz FREQUENCY RESPONSE 40 Hz to 20 kHz SENSITIVITY 99 dB SPL WEIGHT 45.19 lbs / 20.5 Kg WIDTH 23.23 in. / 59 cm HEIGHT 14.76 in. / 37.5 cm DEPTH 16.73 in. / 42.5 cm

    messed up putting the price in....its £95 includes UK post. A set of Bartolini Precision pickups in as new condition, a couple of gigs only before dismantling the bass they were in....no screws or springs. Very good pickups, great sounding, clear and gutsy. From Bartolini: "Our b-axis P-Bass® Pickups are all about enormous, clear tone. They feature a new and unique fully encapsulated Alnico V exposed pole design, and yet they are still fully shielded like all our enclosed pickups.

    they appear to use the same couriers as Parcel2Go. I assume they’ve set up a ‘deal’ for compensation. Word of warning from experience…..using the online company Parcel2Go that gives quotes for UPS DHL etc presented problems with a loss in transit of my goods. Parcel2Go finally explained after a week that I should be getting in touch directly with the courier I’d chosen and that they had nothing to do with it! I finally found my item stuck in a warehouse just a few miles from its original postal area.
