...... and very soon after selling an amp to Emmett, I bought his old amp off him 😁 Faultless transaction yet again. Many thanks

Sold a bass to Shaun. Great communication throughout, prompt payment and a thoroughly nice chap to boot. Trade with absolute confidence 👍

Same here. I appreciate how technically advanced a player may be, but 99% of the songs those players choose to parade their skills in are (to me at least) unbearable. Same with some guitarists. Other than a couple of exceptions Steve Vai or Joe Satriani tunes do absolutely nothing for me. Some of the greatest songs ever written have very simple basslines that fit the song perfectly. To me (cue the lynch mob and pitchforks) bass is best when it is in its supporting role. That doesn’t mean it needs to be basic, but it doesn’t mean it should be over complicated just for the sake of it either.

SOLD - Musicman Stingray 3EQ Black and Maple - £850
Deedee replied to gazhowe's topic in Basses For Sale
Great looking bass. I had the same done to one of my Stingray necks a couple of years ago at considerable expense (as I imagine yours was too). Looked stunning and felt lovely. GLWTS -
Withdrawn Many thanks -
Ashdown 4 x 10 – 4 Ohm - £220 Now £200 collected or will now ship £240 to mainland UK only Bought this cab from Lozz earlier in the year but I’m not going to be gigging for the foreseeable so unfortunately it’s got to go. It’s an Ashdown RM-414-EVO but with the speakers upgraded to Eminence Betas (fitted by Ashdown). A poor mans BF Four10, this is a great value cab for someone who needs something low cost, portable yet very loud 4 ohm 4 x 250 watt Eminence Beta speakers 604 wide x 335 deep x 604 high (672 inc castors) Approximately 26kg Black Roqsolid cover Castors fitted for easy transportation, the shallow depth and sturdy side handles make it an easy load in/out for car boots. It really is in excellent condition. As you can see in the pics it has matting on the top to stop any Class D heads taking off! Collection from South Yorkshire or will now ship to mainland UK buyers only (£40 insured) -
Many thanks Bassbod. Sounds about right as everything is 'floating' above the floor of the case until you get to the back plate.

I was just about to say, that’s a MkV so I’m not sure it would be the same as a MkIV anyway. This is the MkIV:

Calling all Trace anoraks! I'm considering rack mounting my MkIV Trace AH250. It's a beast of an amp, I love the sound and it's by far the quietest running amp I've ever owned. However, the case it's mounted in is pretty hefty and while I know that the amp itself will still weigh a fair amount, mounting it in a rack case will reduce the weight considerably (as it did with my 250SMX). My question is, has anybody here successfully rack mounted a MkIV head? I've removed the tube holder from the front and had look inside and there is no metal chassis on the bottom inside the case but there are 3 bolts going through the top that I assume are anchoring things in place. Would an upturned rack shelf be required on top? Any assistance would be most helpful.

Bought yet another P Bass Loom from John. Excellent, professional service as always. Many thanks
-
Bought a head from Nik in yet another seamless transaction. Great communication throughout and packaged within an inch of its life. As all have said above, trade with confidence. Many thanks

Just sold an amp to Emmett. Great communication throughout and prompt payment. Top BassChatter 👍

🤔. I wonder if it is a case of sound guys’ thinking “it can’t possibly be correct to move the slider that much!”
-
Interesting. I've experienced the same low DI output from my AH250 GP12 SMX. I'm very interested in the mod that solves the issue (and the head could also do with a service at the same time).
-
I tried one when they first came out and I think this is where I went wrong. Being completely unfamiliar with Ashdown heads, I didn't spend enough time messing with it and left the store feeling slightly underwhelmed. I really must give one another try some day.

Seymour Duncan SPB-1 P Bass pickup Plenty of wire with screws and working fine, just surplus to requirements. Price includes postage but you’re quite welcome to collect from South Yorkshire if you can’t bear the wait 😁 -
Can you please add ‘SOLD’ to the start of your title, just so potential buyers know it’s gone and the mods know to lock the thread 👍 -
Very true
-
The issue on the Aria (being stacked volume/tone) is that you can quite accidentally move the volume. That’s why I like to keep them up full. If I’m playing on the bridge pickup only, or the neck pickup there’s no problem. If I then select both pickups, I don’t want to then have to faff about tweaking them down to adjust the signal. It’s not about tone, the tone’s fine.
-
Be gentle with me here because I’m a bit of a technophobe, but I have the same issue on my old Aria SB-R80. Turn both volumes up full and one wipes the other out. I hate the fact that I have to back them off slightly to get a balanced sound 😡.

DiMarzio Model P pickup with black covers. Plenty of wire on them and working fine, just surplus to requirements. Price includes postage but you’re quite welcome to collect from South Yorkshire if you can’t bear the wait 😁 EDIT - Just to clarify the tape is just isolating the two wires that were unused in its last installation -
Musicman Stingray 4HH with OHSC - £950 + shipping Unfortunately I won’t be gigging anytime in the near future so I’m downsizing my kit/collection. Next up is a 2007 Musicman Stingray 4HH in Honeyburst. Plays and sounds great with an EQ as powerful as you would expect giving a huge range of sounds. There are a few nicks on the body but nothing nasty (see photographs). The neck is gorgeous with some hints of birdseye in places. As many of you will know, some of these unfinished MM necks can become quite grubby after a few years if not looked after. The chap who had this last had it cleaned back and oiled so it now has a lovely satin sheen and smooth feel. Comes complete with original MM hard case which is in very good condition. No trades on this one thank you. Collection from South Yorkshire or will ship in the UK only at buyers’ expense. I’m currently unavailable for meet ups I’m afraid. -
How does neck thickness and shape affect feel and playability?
Deedee replied to Greg.Bassman's topic in Bass Guitars
If there is a difference, it's certainly not discernible. Feel great to me. -
They’re real workhorses and built like tanks. Was a shame that they didn’t have a built in DI.
