    Midi keyboard by Miditech, probably from 1990s complete with 5v power supply. It has the old style 5 pin DIN connectors for MIDI in / out and a TS socket for a sustain pedal (not included). 61 non weighted keys and therefore not very heavy. It all seems to work as far as I can tell with my limited experience of using MIDI keyboards - I did try it out with a MIDI to USB convertor with my Reaper DAW and all the keys work, but that was the total extent of my knowledge and testing!

    Peavey Bandit guitar combo for sale. Made in USA blue stripe model with 85W output and Sheffield 12" speaker. These are nice sounding and loud amps and one of the most desirable of the long running Bandit range. Full working order and in good cosmetic condition. The picture shows a knob missing from the presence control - a similar but not matching knob has now been fitted. The original was lost, along with the protruding pot shaft at some point in it's life!

    Torque 65 watt 1 x 12" guitar combo. Fitted as standard with a Celestion G12 speaker. In full working order and good cosmetic condition. Usual guitar amp features of switchable clean and distortion channels with gain boost switch and effects loop, Master volume control and reverb. Loud enough for most rehearsal and small / medium gigs.

    I also found a suitable size laptop bag in a charity shop for £5.00 which gives a good level of protection for those who don’t need hard cases for everything. The side pockets are also perfect for cables etc. I did look at the behringer bag for the amp but only briefly when I saw the price!!

    Vintage solid state guitar combo, branded Sound City. The amp is identical to my other listing for a Kay Fashion combo. I would guess that the amp is about 15W gain, treble, bass and volume controls. All working fine with a few crackles when first switched on then settles down to nice quiet operation. The speaker is a dual cone 12" driver in a sealed enclosure. In great cosmetic condition for its age (probably 1970s) and quite sweet sounding. Would be ideal for home or small practice venue use whilst adding a vintage vibe to the room.

    Just received my KZ ZS10 pros, ordered from the KZ Global store on AliExpress on 7 Jan, so quite an impressive shipping time from China. The cost was £29.34 including shipping and tax. I'm really impressed with the sound and they're a clearly audible step up to all previous earbuds that I've used - good clear sound across the frequency range and way more clean bass than I've had before! They are quite a bit more bulky and heavy so only time will tell how I feel after wearing them for a whole session though. Thanks to everyone that recommended them and gave me the confidence to go with my first AliExpress order.

    Yes it is.

    Is the correct wiring diagram out there anywhere or could it be put on this forum? I just like to get into the techy stuff!

    Thank you that's really interesting to know. It is a really well made bass.

    I've had this Lion branded hollow body short scale bass for many years. It has a lovely woody full tone which works well for the jazz gigs I do and a really fast narrow neck. It's also very light indeed. I've never been able to find out much about it so wondered if anyone else has one or knows anything about them?

    Just bought some used Tru-bass strings from Matt. Easy transaction from start to finish A pleasure to deal with. Thank you

    Amazing condition for it's age. I have a '69 tele with the original style single coil pickup - love it but it really shows it's age!
  14. basstone
    Looks nice. I love the feel of a jazz neck with edge bindings. Are the block inlays actual inlays or painted? Thanks

    I'm an engineer based in Wells, trading as Hurstbatch Services . I will work on anything that is not surface mount (I don't have the gear or the eyesight for that!). I've repaired many valve amps, solid state as well as bass wiring and speakers and keyboards - in other words I'll have a go at most things!

    A bit of investigation needed I think. There's often a learning curve with new kit until it's fully dialled in!

    Agreed I would not expect that. Was the compression indicator coming on a lot as well?
  18. basstone
    I would expect the volume to appear to increase slightly with the compressor off, as you're getting more dynamics. As to the other issue maybe some saturation / clipping somewhere in the gain staging? maybe try turning the input gain down and see if that has any effect.

    This would look great on my jazz basses and it would be interesting to see if it sounded significantly brighter than a rosewood board. Sadly I can't justify the expense ATM. Maybe when my Casady bass sells 🤔

    I've used OnSong for a few years now with multiple libraries for different bands. E.g small jazz, soul/funk, worship. I have a mixture of lyric charts with chords and PDF manuscript. All libraries are backed up and shared via dropbox. For worship there are great online resources for such as worship ready and song select to download compatible charts from. There is a good editor that allows accurate positioning of chords and an instant change key and capo feature, which is handy for working with different singers. Export of PDF with or without chords is also handy for sharing with those who still prefer to use paper! There are loads of other features such as backing tracks and MIDI that I have not ever had a need to use For jazz I also use iRealPro with the extensive online library imported. Playlists can easily be shared by email or message and also key change is quick and easy. Also a great resource for playing along to and essential for jazz jams or scratch band gigs.

    Hi there Just wondered if the tru bass strings are still available and just how used they are 🙂 Thanks
  23. basstone
    Thank you. It was a pleasure to meet you and chat.

    I upgraded a Japanese Paisley Telecaster with one of these. Great punchy tone that cut through the mix really well

    the Beta 58 and the 945 are both very usable low cast vocal mics. The 945 sounds smoother than the beta 58 IMHO. Both are super cardioid, so fairly easy to position to minimize the chance of feedback. The 945 also has low handling noise which can be handy if the singer likes to keep removing the mic from the stand
