    Any of you home-studio builders, here is a used, but still entirely functional, floorstanding rack cabinet with 16U of rack strip to hold all that outboard gear and tidy up all the cables Externally it is 54cm wide, 90cm high, 51cm deep at the base and 43cm deep at the top (the rack strip is slightly tilted backwards) Comes with: One switched 12 x 6A IEC output Mains Distribution Unit (single Powercon in, single unswitched Powercon out) for powering all the rack equipment 13A mains to powercon cable 7 x IEC cables - various lengths 3U rack shelf 40cm deep 2U rack shelf 22cm deep 1U vent panel 1U 6x13A mains panel (fed via an IEC from the MDU Various rack bolts, washers and rack nuts Its been well-used so there are a few scrapes and the odd screw hole but the construction is still fundamentally sound. Construction is MDF, screwed at the base and reinforced with a couple of brackets at the top It has eight sliders on the base so it can be moved around on carpet without harm. Anyone wanting to use it on a parquet floor will have to fit something else. Message with any offers, delivery options etc. I'm flexible

    I acquired these as part of a trade and don't have an immediate use for them, so moving them on Two cabinets, both in very good condition. Each 2 x10 plus a tweeter, 8ohms impedance, 250W power handling. Speakon or standard jack input. Custom Roqsolid cover for each speaker £125 each or £220 for the pair.

    More likely poor earthing somewhere - possibly the mains sockets that you were using. Would going wireless be an option?

    Its ok, look its only supposed to be used by guitarists... (winces...)

    Hi, I used to have a Hohner Jack and as I recall the 'earth' wire running to the bridge didn't have any specific connection, but just sat on the body of the bass, with the connection being achieved by having the bridge screwed down on top of it. Over time its the sort of arrangement that is probably going to cause a high(er) resistance than the nice solid connection that should stop any humming. Might be worth looking to see if there is corrosion on the end of that wire, or if it isn't making direct contact any more?

    I've used the Maui 28 and it was excellent. My thoughts are that it would fill most small venues. The 44 looks like it would have a lot of headroom - which is never a bad thing.

    Well, you know that your 3kW PA will work off one 13A outlet, so if you just say - 'we need Two 13A outlets' - then I would have thought that should be enough for most venues. If they say 'How many kW' then 5kW (22 Amps) would be a good estimate without actually putting a meter across the mains and dynamically measuring it. That's going to be 5kW Peak, so the actual current that you draw at any given moment will be less than that.

    All good stuff from Dad. Your 3kW PA system should (just) work off a standard domestic 13A outlet (13A x 230V = 2.9kW) but would probably be better being fed from a 16A unfused socket. The In Ears rack will probably draw a fraction of an amp, so its down to the amount of backline that you carry and your lighting which as Dad says, you just have to add up to get a grand total. I don't know how you usually plug into the venue power system but a 'pro' electrical solution would be a couple of those big blue 16A BS4343 plugs - often known as 'Commando Plugs' - which have the advantage of not containing fuses. One for the PA, one for everything else. Might be overkill for some venues however...

    YES! Exactly so: half and half and half again (repeat until in a suitably neat bundle) followed by a loose tie to keep them together. There is a logic to this, since you are twisting the cable, but in different directions, so the net result is zero twists.

    AllParts is a Uk company that specialises in guitar hardware and components: https://www.allparts.uk.com/ Although they are US-based StewMac will mail parts to different countries: https://www.stewmac.com You will need to find out EXACTLY what you want however- 250k pot or 500k pot, if its volume it will be 'log' rather than linear, and since it looks like its a dual pot you will need someone with decent soldering skills to remove the old and put in new. Good luck!

    Hi, this looks like a useful box, if its still available I'd like to buy. thanks Nick

    Yeah, you're right. Rule Two - there is no Rule Two...
  13. Suburban Man
    Rule One of Bass Playing - the correct note at the correct time. Rule Two - the 'wrong' note at the correct time is also permissible - who in the audience is going to know its wrong??? Rule Three - wrong note at the wrong time indicates that you need to find a new instrument to play

    A bit kicked around - obviously, that's what you do with it - but still functional.

    Excellent condition, boxed, no velcro

    A useful Gator Bag with a shoulder strap for 'stuff'. External dimensions are 36cm wide, 25cm high and 10cm deep. Internal cutout is 20cm x 20cm x 5 cm plus a circular cutout (intended for a microphone?) and a rectangular cutout which looks like it was intended for a radio mic transmitter. Looking at the dimensions of the Elf and BAM200, they would fit inside. The zip down front 'pocket' gives you some space for cables (as well as the internal cutout - not sure why?) A used item but still in good condition.

    Fender practice amp in excellent condition. All the good stuff from the v3 of this amp - phones output, DI out, Aux input, lots of EQ and contour settings, overdrive... Roqsolid cover included All in a package that is just over 8kg I would prefer pickup, but will post if necessary at cost.

    Dimensions are 43cm high x 39cm wide x 23cm deep Cutout for handle 10cmx3cm centred at the top parallel to the width Usual heavy felt construction, Cable pocket on the side Roqsolid accidentally centred the handle - which is slightly offset - so like the excellent bunch they are, they are providing a replacement with the cutout in the correct position. This one is therefore available for the cost of postage.

    On an active preamp the battery connection is usually made across the earth side - in other words when you put the jack plug into the bass its the ground/earth part of the connector (not the tip) that joins battery negative to preamp negative. You can just cut the hot/signal connection if you want, but it leaves a nice little RF antenna in place of your neatly grounded pickup. That may or may not cause a noise problem, but grounding the hot/signal connection definitely stops any cr@p getting into the nice high-gain front end of you amp as well as muting the pickup.

    Apart from the 'Producer Switch' option, which is always a good one 🙂 I'm a big fan of a 'mute' switch. Just a 2 pole on/off that shorts live and earth on the outgoing jack socket. It won't save battery, but it sure will mute.

    I recorded Mike Pender's Searchers ('we split for musical reasons') at a live gig about 30 years ago and the band members all seemed to be 'getting-on' then, but I guess if you can still sing and play a bit its not a bad back catalogue to run through and they absolutely hit the button on every song. I particularly remember the recording because I naively asked when they were going to do a run through so that I could sort out the levels and was told that the band and their PA engineer didn't need to do a run through - so I just had to sort out the mix during the first number - straight down to stereo in those days.
