  1. Mmm, or that would have been the case had my 4/4 not been a very long example of a 4/4, so having done the measuring it's too close to call and these are still unused in their original packaging. Happy to talk offers or trades/PX, I need a decent bow, and anything else DB-related is always of interest 👍
  2. Still have this, driving around over next few days if anyone fancies either meeting up or even delivery in person 👍
  3. BTW I read that on the internet so thought I'd repeat it here 👍
  4. Musicians forums are echo chambers, there's the tendency for people to repeat things they've read irrespective of whether they have the experience/opinion in question. As @tauzero suggests, use a bit of trial and error
  5. Thanks guys, quick reply Yes, it's a Diesel and not a Road Ready, my mistake I'm heading to Norwich If that thing in Manchester is a pint I might be tempted Re price, yes, mad, my first M-Pulse cost me £1200 used in 2012 and the cab cost me £300 relatively recently. But frankly, it's not being used for anything more than a mental health/bragging rights unit at present ("I have a Mesa rig" still makes me feel good), and if it sits around more than a few days I know I'll end up keeping it and then probably deciding to sell it again down the line. I also have a bit of time to meet-up/deliver at present which is a luxury that will soon pass Thanks all Chris
  6. Hi mate I'm heading up to Norfolk so quite probably 👍
  7. Only gigging double bass these days and even that's through PA so sadly this lovely if quite old rig has to go. Price is silly for the quality - the tone is large and lovely - but also reflects the significant weight of the cab plus the fact that the cab has seen better days! I won't split and rig will have to be collected or we arrange meet-up or delivery. I'll be out an about in the car later this week............. Happy new year all
  8. Wow! If only that preamp was stereo that would be a hell of a hifi!
  9. Frankly I have the moral victory for 2023 for not buying your Bryant 🤔
  10. I walk in your shadow Lawrie 👍
  11. So, let me get this straight……? 😆
  12. Assume I’m still allowed to sell?
  13. I’m in, got all the gear I need 👍
  14. I forgot to mention above that the bass is currently equipped with a Badass II and a John East J-Retro, each replacing the original BBOT and passive Jazz circuit in the photos above respectively. I'm happy to put these components into the mix (along with the original components) depending on the deal. Re the component changes, my sense with this bass was that the Jazz and Precision options work really very well with the passive circuit but that the active circuit really brings the 'Ray PUPs to life. Badass as ever is a matter of taste as much as technology 👍
  15. Tonight’s main and spare 👍
  16. Nice one Lawrie, you're a credit to the forum, I'm aiming to do something similar myself in 2024 👍
  17. Sadly I'm starting to agree, I used to see eBay, BC etc as a gear exchange, but with increasingly poor and expensive couriers, persistent scammers, and to a lesser degree a tangible shift towards the negative in the culture of buying and selling used musical gear, I'm feeling much the same way Bloody glad you sold your Bryant though Lawrie, it was causing me sleepless nights
  18. And green 👍 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315036032349?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=5yjhiyh2q4i&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=155UlNbXQGW&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  19. I think I've been quite lucky in that most of the folks I've played with seem able to listen to a rehearsal recording and calibrate it against their and the band's expectations. Where I find it most helpful is in timing, IME most decent musicians can hear pitch problems in real time and respond accordingly but many really struggle to hear rhythmic problems, especially when systemic. But yes, I've been lucky 👍
