Not an easy lift trust me, I had to move them down the stairs recently, one of those jobs that you realise midway through doing on your own that you need two people for! I do not know Chris but will keep an eye out 👍 They come up occasionally but often around £400-450 It is, it's almost worth buying more basses to justify having one, have to say I'm not sure you'd get a 35" 5er in however 🤔

That’s very tough on him, best wishes to him and his family 🙏

Mesa Subway d800+ repair and replacement parts
Beedster replied to columbusrobbie's topic in Repairs and Technical
That’s what I meant, we knew we had to be careful. I think lightweight lures us into thinking it’s not so easily damaged 👍 -
Do not release it onto the moors 😆 Glorious old thing, please restore it and play it. It’s strangely beautiful 👍

Mesa Subway d800+ repair and replacement parts
Beedster replied to columbusrobbie's topic in Repairs and Technical
Something I love about old-school head is that they require and demand to be treated very carefully, not only because of the risk if damaging the amp, but the associated risk of damaging whatever the amp lands on (my old singer’s ‘Mate, your amp broke my car’ springs to mind’). I’m probably wrong but I do get the sense that most lightweight gear needs to be treated with more care than you’d think 🤔 Great that it’s fixed @columbusrobbie, thanks for the update 👍 -
Hi @Burns-bass, found it during my studio clearout today if you're still interested

Did you miss Habitat's new 'Bass Furniture' range All joking aside, listing these two here as despite them being a rather elegant piece of storage furniture in their own right, I used them in my studio for years as both seating and instrument storage..... As you can see, a rather elegant solution for the multibass owner, and one that allow you, if you're clever, to keep the true number of basses at home something of a secret 🤔 Having something of a studio clear-out at present hence the sale Stock photo here, I'll get photos of the actual units up later today/tomorrow. £300 each. These will be collection only from Whitstable or delivery if I happen to be going your way 👍

Or…… …buy the one that looks best and learn to play it 👍

I'm going to rehearse this bass tomorrow evening so can give some better feedback afterwards, although I'm starting to fall just a little bit in love with it already to be honest, the action goes stupidly low and given the is very smooth and solid it rather feels like I'm playing a Modulus or Status 🤔

Slimming down my studio gear at present, aiming to only have what I need rather than a lot of spare capacity! This has been very well looked after and has probably ad no more than 200hours use (still has the plastic stuff on the display!). I only use it for tracking as I use a UAD Satellite to manage plugins while mixing. Come with all original packaging/documentation. Happy to courier or for collection in person in Whitstable or London Also moving on a pair of Towsend Labs/UAD L22 Sphere modelling mics here

Ha, almost twins..... This had Warmoth Precision neck, beautiful 👍

I've used Jazzes with Precision necks, simply prefer a Jazz configured that way, as was my main fretless for 3-4 years. I really don't understand why some folks seem to thing it's an aberration 👍

This is a bitsa that came together recently and was up for sale in the rather overlong and complex parts sale. Late 70's/early 80's Daion body with a stunning 3tsb, Warmoth maple cap neck, pictured with a Squier circuit but I'm going to install an EMG Geezer PUP and circuit which will to all intents mean nothing will change looks-wise (EMG is also creme). You might notice there's a couple of screws missing, I'll of course sort those! I'll also include PUP and bridge ashtrays. I'll update with detailed photos later today. Courier or collection from Whitstable are both fine by me 👍

I'm having a clear-out of gear I either don't use or don't use very well, these mics fall into the latter category. By 'don't use well' I mean that while I use them for voice recording, I don't really use the modelling functionality, and while these are stunning mics in pure hardware and functionality terms, a pair of SM7-Bs also work just as well for my needs. I've owned these since 2022 and they've had mostly spoken word use in that time. I bought them having already used UAD hardware and plug-ins (UAD subsequently bought Townsend Labs and these are now branded the UAD Sphere DLX https://www.uaudio.com/products/ua-sphere-dlx-modeling-microphone?srsltid=AfmBOorgjZ5kwOqTV-2uCtMPcc25_I2vJglALwqt2tpzagSQOZNPbLyK). Having read this review https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/townsend-labs-sphere-l22 I was really excited at being able to modify mic models/orientation in post-production. But to be honest, I've never really needed to, and barely have the time to record these days, let alone to spend hours playing around with different mics afterwards. But I suspect that in a Pro or Semi-Pro studio these, and the software that comes with them, could be a gamechanger. Included with each mic is the shock-mount, cable, mic stand adapter, soft case, and hard case. I'll get some more pics up later. They retailed around £1450 each and sell used on eBay at between £800-900 so at £750 these are competitively priced, if you wanted them both I'm happy to haggle. Happy to courier or for collection/meet-up I'm also going to be moving on a few more items of studio gear that isn't getting enough use to justify staying

What do you do when your music career is over?
