    Right, I'm cleared out to the leads level now - here's a job lot of 5 leads: An OBBM Speakon - Jack speaker lead: 1m of 2 x 4mm2 speaker lead loveliness A 2m Jack - Jack Speaker lead A very short Planet Waves jack-jack patch lead A 10ft guitar lead with 1 straight and 1 angled jack A 20ft guitar lead with 2 straight jacks. Both guitar leads are marked "Professional Low Noise Instrument Cable" All work fine (the OBBM lead has been used once, during a very brief dalliance I had with WoT's Walkabout head) with no crackles I can detect or provoke. Lengths are approximate, but close enough, I'd say. £15 the lot, posted in the UK. I don't want to split unless I can move them all quickly. Cheers.

    My rig's been getting smaller for a while since we started with IEMs. The in-ears are so much better than any rig, because the clarity's there and you can mix yourself (we have individual mixes) to whatever level of bass-dominance you like, plus you have overall control of the VOLUME. Sorry, that made it into capitals because I suffer with tinnitus... With the best rig in the world, you're hearing it in a very compromised manner, depending on room acoustics, stage size, shape and construction and good old band members volume preferences on the night. We've found that we've improved as a band since moving to in-ears purely because we can all hear what we're doing so much more clearly. The only downside I've come across is you lose that 'live' feel, but it's a price I'm willing to pay to keep my hearing functioning for a few more years...

    OK, more clearing out - here's a set of four Hipshot Ultralite HB6C 1/2" tuners, which will fit standard Fenders, and anything with a 11/16" string post. Three are shiny chrome, one is satin. The Xtender is a 1/2" HE6C in satin. EDIT: I forgot to mention: they're all marked 'Hipshot USA' rather than 'Hipshot Lic' These really do make a difference to the weight of a bass, especially for anything with neck dive. They can be handed either way, so they could work for a 4&1 headstock for a five. A set of 4 tuners at Bass Direct is £104, and the Xtender is £84 = £188 [attachment=162347:photo 2.JPG] Let's say £85 posted in the UK for the lot.

    Bump for a price drop to £99 posted in the UK.

    Ray Dietrich - for a car designer, he made a great job of the Thunderbird and Firebirds...

    I use my iPad for effects, tuner, amp modelling, in fact everything. I either go direct into the PA and use in-ears, in which case it's all I need, or I go into the power amp stage of my Streamliner and use my cab if I need stage monitoring when I'm not using in-ears. Some of the amp models in Jamup are startlingly good - I'm loving the Acoustic one at the moment. I can also use it to control my-in-ears mix from the PA, too.

    Really enjoying the iPad/Jamup setup for playing live, the only big issue I have is a really niggling simple one, which is - has anyone found a convenient and reliable way of securing the Sonic Port if, like me, you have your iPad on a mic stand mount? The lead isn't long enough to reach the floor, and at the moment I'm using the amp & cab as an ad hoc Sonic Port stand, but that's hardly efficient...

    Bump for a price drop...

    Still for sale...missed the last messages.

    The very best response to the classic 'wandering drunk' scenario is, no matter what they're actually trying to say, to shout "Brilliant! Cheers!" back to them repeatedly, and nod and smile in the most cheerful Fast Show style you can muster. Requires no actual thinking on your part, so your playing won't suffer, plus they get confused quite quickly and wander off... Works even better when I've got my in-ears in...

    Still looks fantastic. Didn't Geddy play a Wal on this?

    I don't have a Fender, I may well have loved this. Whatever it was...

    Actually, I've just checked the FS thread on here, and it was £35.
  17. Muzz
    IIRC, they were an astonishing £85. I think I sold mine for about half that...

    [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1398621692' post='2435862'] Two Ampeg 810 stacks gets my votes - silver cloth of course. [/quote] This, all day. As long as I don't have to actually move any of it....

    God, no: I can't be doing with Jazzes, don't like the look, not that keen on the sound. My new Shuker has a double-P pickup layout. Now that's a bridge pickup!

    One of the strengths of the small Schroeder cabs is their low-mid hump effectively EQs a sound which sits well in a live mix, whereas on their own they can sound boxy. I miss mine, and I'm having to re-EQ to compensate. Haven't got it right yet, tho because I'm using less and less stage monitoring (using in-ears more and more) it doesn't matter so much.

    Sold an iRig to Lee, and he was very patient, as I was very slow sending (my only defence is a 50th birthday week - it's me age, honest...) but a complete gent about it all. A top chap all round. M

    Bought a Hipshot from Simon, all good, well packed and delivered very quickly...he's one of the good guys... Cheers Pal...

    I note you didn't actually play it...the one I had (briefly) [i]looked[/i] absolutely gorgeous, too...

    When doing the majority of my gigs, I'm playing in a covers band with a very wide repertoire, so for convenience I like to be able to control the EQ on the bass rather than the amp (although with the new Jamup/iPad setup I have, there are a zillion easy presets for all sorts of amps and FX chains - for example, one finger tap is all I need to go from a bog-standard SVT rock sound to Tony Levin's Sledgehammer with Octaver, Compression and all sorts of hoo-hah). To return to the point, tho, the best onboard I've found for that is the East U-Retro: sweepable mids, a passive switch and passive EQ. I've got one in each of my main gigging basses now, and I'm even considering the heinous step of drilling holes in my Dingwall to squeeze one in...

    Fascinating reading, inasmuch as there's some huge assumptions being made about what are at the end of the day organic substances with large variations in consistency and makeup. All Indian Rosewood is 797kg/m3, then? Really? That's 'A Scientific Approach'? By that 'science', all Ash Precision bodies (for example) weigh the same...as they do... More Marketing than Science, methinks...
