    Weichs were my preferred string, I can't use them anymore. I'm stuck in the ballpark of similar tension to gut now, maybe a smidge higher. Sadly I'm not sure the Orchestra spiro would be low enough. I did like golden/silver slaps, the silvers mucked up and went sticky really fast though

    At its worse the RSI took me out of playing for around 12 months, I don't want to end up in that place again for sure. Gigs are literally more than 50% of my income, so I can't afford to be injured. I used to use a mag pickup with eurosonics, light enough tension but they made me blister like crazy. I don't think I could ever go back to steels now for fear of injury.

    Hi all, Suffice to say I have a very large pile of upright strings. Having had a few bad bouts of RSI, I had to go from steels to lower tension over the years. I play mostly functions these days, and by that I have to cover slap playing as well as the long overplayed post modern style. I finally settled last year on the RS400's (useless for arco but I've had to compromise), I have however bumped them to further alleviate RSI flair ups. Perfectly happy with ADG strings, I've learned to accommodate my playing to the floppiness. the E however is just near useless (using a bumped A). It's dull and muddy, I miss the steel string growl down there. My playing now avoids the E for 90% of the time. Does anybody have a suggestion of a string to try for the E? I've tried a Spiro A and E, Silver slap E, Euro sonic tape wound (this caused a lot of blistering for some reason), Gut a like A and E (copper and my ph don't mix, green within a week), Sugar slap A, SBW A and a few others I can't recall at the moment. I'm willing to dump some cash into getting this right, especially as Christmas gig season is impending and I'm out on upright for 6 gigs so far. I will add I use 2 pickup systems with a mixer close to hand, a copperhead into Fishman plat pro and a shadow RB-pro, I use either depending on the genre of the gig. Thanks peeps

    Line 6 Relay G55 system with everything needed to get going. Has the usual iffy G55 transmitter battery door, it closes and locks, but if the batteries are the smaller of the AA size it can be intermittent in power as they move around. Sorted by 1 elastic band and used for years with no issues. Belt clip is missing as I always put it in my pocket or in a leather pouch pack when using on upright bass. Original clip in cable from pack to instrument is long dead, will include a Sennheiser I've been using but this one but this doesn't lock in like the line 6 cable did. The lock mini xlr can be obtained for a few £ and soldered on if it bothers. Just tested everything before listing and all working. I'm using Shure wireless systems now so this is surplus to requirements. No box, long gone.

    Kick pad of the above name, used once to test if it's working and it is. I discarded this from my kit to replace with a full size kick drum. No box, collection or meet up preferred. Possible to post

    Brand spanky new, no box. Discarded from kit from new as I'm converting acoustic to E so not required. Collection/meet preferred, postage an option if required. tested and fully working

    Roland MDS-STD2, discarded from new kit as I use stands. No box. Is brand new with all clamps, arms, felts, brackets and clamps included. Collection/meetup please, would be a pig to post this with no packaging.

    MEC 6 string bass pickups from my 2006 Streamer. I’ve swapped them out for Bart’s singles as I fancied changing my sound. fully working, casings are aged as they are 18 years ish old. They are active and require 9v. These are the split P coil type under the casings. price includes postage. Can provide video of them if wanted in use before I swapped them. They are fat and warm, I favour snappy singles these days hence the swap. Found the vids, bass is plugged straight to soundcard with mild comp and an ampeg amp sim

    Same mate, I've also got the F112 and F212. Those will never be leaving! I've had them for around 8 years now

    Exceptionally old video of the same set (In Black) I used on my 4 string Jazz about 12 years ago. These were my go to pickups for a long time

    Continuing my clear out of gathered stuff that just sits in a cupboard. Barts Mk1 pickups for 5 string in P25 sizing. Price includes postage

    EMG Active jazz pickups and all the easy slot solderless wiring needed to install. I used these on my Streamer 4 fretless for a couple of years before I sold the bass as stock. The covers have aged with my use and discoloured a bit, but I spose they are supposed to be vintage Ivory colour anyway, so I vintaged them further for free! Postage included EMG fluff on them "The original EMG J Set became an instant hit with its sweeping harmonic overtones, punch and quiet operation. This pickup set has classic jazz bass characteristics with a broader tonal frequency range that adds dimensions and clarity to your bass playing. EMG’s design has a very low ratio of resistance to inductance, which increases the low end response, while the radiused ceramic bar magnet ensures the tone keeps a tight mid-range punch with dynamic high end response. Whether you play fretted or fretless, live or in the studio, you’ll get an incredibly full sound with these bass pickups." t

    Doable to post, I'd have to source packing materials however which would have to wait until weekend due to work
  16. sumorabbit
    I don't see why not, I've used it with upright, electric and even as a PA speaker on the odd occasion

    These are over £300 new. Used for 12 months after my old shure wireless died, but I’ve now switched to the new shure wireless system. I’ve the original box but none of the attachments or psu, hence the price. It had a Clip that would attach the bug to your strap with a cable to instrument if you preferred a “pack” solution, but that’s long since vanished. I’ve always just plugged it directly into my bass. Works with active basses since the unit charges via usb from either the receiver/tuner or plugged into any usb socket. No original PSU included as I used it on pedalboard with a CIOKS and it has also long gone.

    Crazy 8 with tweeter made by Tricky Audio. I used to use it for small acoustic gigs with upright but these days I’m straight to PA. Some minor blemishes but works fine. It’s small, it’s light and it would be a keeper if it wasn’t for the other 2 greenboy cabs I have. test drives welcome. no trades please, ta.

    Owned from brand new, removed from box once and plugged in to check all is working correctly, which it is. I’ve used these compressors since they first came out and bought a few of them as they are that good. Ultimately, the first I bought is still going strong 10 years later and I have two more (just in case, because, ya know when something is this good I feared not having one!) so I’ve decided to let one go. Can post if needed cheers peeps!

    MEC two band preamp with all required knobs and pots. This was taken from my streamer 6 as I changed it out for a 3 band eq. Fully working with no issues. The battery power clip is missing as it was taken by the tech and installed on the new preamp. Another can easily be soldered onto the wires pictured below. will post for 3-4 quid

    Hi, this is one of the second run of Quads post covid shennanigans. Fully working with no issues. Have original box. I’ve used it predominantly as a recording interface, I have taken it on a couple of gigs (there is Velcro on the underside from being in a board) and works flawlessly. it has only left my house 4 times in 3 years. Test Drives welcome, can post for cost. Short snippet of using straight to FOH with no cab on stage Sorry but I will not post abroad. I'm based around South Preston no trades please

    I got it at a bargain myself so I'm happy to pass it on at a bargain. I've just been shouted at on Reverb for not accepting 250 because that's all he can afford. I'm only asking what I paid for it
