    I have a work smartphone (telecom technician), but I just roll with an old Blackberry. In this situation, without a smartphone, would this type of a gig been closed off to someone like me?

    I’ve got it boxed up for someone else at the moment. Waiting for confirmation of arrival then I’ll mark as sold. If there’s any hiccups, I’ll let you know

    Korg G5

    E sharp posted a topic in Effects For Sale

    Immaculate Korg G5 bass synth pedal. Still got the Turnkey receipt inside from ‘97. Used on and off by me, but just for the odd bit here and there- never got into saving any patches. A really nice d school synth pedal, that’s sort of become a bit of a classic. This is part of the final bits of unused gear, and been under the stairs for 10 years or so. Price is £110 , including signed for delivery in the UK.

    I’ve had this bass for under 2 years, as a 50th present to myself, but I’m just not using it. Ordered from Stefan to my specs, but the pickup arrangement wasn’t quite what I specified. Sold all my gear to buy a few bits I really fancied, but this hasn’t been used, since I got the Dingwall and Modulus- they just suit what I do better. 34” scale Measuring 18mm at bridge Measuring 50mm at zero fret 3 band Noll 9v pre-amp. Volume (pull passive), bass, treble, mid/freq stacked, blend, and toggle for LED’s on top edge. I was told that it could do with a set up- fret dress primarily. The truss rod couldn’t be accessed, so the end cap was drilled larger to enable this, and the cap end isn’t quite flush. Those few things annoyed me, as this is how it was sent to me. I’m in no hurry to sell, so if it doesn’t get the price, I’ll just stick it back in the cupboard, and get this sorted as and when, then probably start gigging with it on the function band deps. There’s a slight dark discolouration on the back of the neck (shown in the pictures)- could rub out. My scales are bust, but I think it’s sub 9lbs Probably played by me no more than 20 times at rehearsals. The sound is awesome, but I prefer my other two basses. Selling, as I fancy an 5P style bass I’ve seen, or maybe the graphite Stingray 5. It cost me over 2K, but was less than 2.5K - I can’t remember the exact cost. After £1350 for it- as new apart from the little bits of stuff to do to it. I’m not geared up for shipping this , so it’ll be a meet up jobbie I reckon. Thanks for looking, and if you want anymore details, then drop me a message. Thanks. Paul

    No idea why this hasn’t sold. All the SR5’s have sold- though a couple took a couple of months. Really fancy another graphite Stingray- just need to get around to putting a bass up for sale. GLWTS

    Like many here, I’m really saddened to hear this news. I’ve been down there twice, and they’re absolutely lovely people. Had an old S11 5 string I bought cheap around 25 years ago, locally , and it was the best sounding bass I’d ever heard. Just couldn’t get used to the very narrow string spacing. It was one of the earlier ones, so could of been around 15mm. A battered S2000 scratched an itch I had- moved on. Lastly, one of the Jazz basses they used to make a while ago. Just can’t get used to the narrow neck, but it was hands down, up there with the top top jazz basses you can buy. Nothing fancy, yet the fit and finish was perfect. As Bogart has already been mentioned, I got a yellow one made for for 50th, as should’ve gone with Status- as was my original idea- 5 string Stealth. The Bogart is nowhere near the fit and finish of the Status basses I’ve had- nor my Modulus. I always thought I’d get down there again one day and order a new one, even though I was aware that Rob wasn’t getting any younger. Similar to Martyn Booth, who I now. He’s now 72 and desperate to retire, yet has a sizeable back log of builds. Hence why he can longer do repair work. It’s going to be a really sad day, if the brand stops altogether. As playing most of the top brands over the years, Rob’s work is up there with the best. Wishing him all the best with his health

    Tonight’s rig. Similar to before, but added a comp. Bass - tuner - SFX micro EQ - SFX micro Thumpinator - Effectrode LA1A - Sonic Farm 2DDI - Crest CA9 - 2x Bergantino HD212’s. Over the years I’ve said I’ve found ‘the tone’, but in true Bass Chat fashion, I’ll probably change around at some point

    You’re the only local bloke who’s gone through more bass rigs than me, Roy. For a smallish rig, that’s a killer
  11. E sharp
    Yes, that was mine that you tried. I still use it. I paid a grand for mine new, from the old Wapping Bass Centre. It’s outlived the other amps I’ve owned, as it’s such a lovely little amp.
  12. E sharp
    Only the Burninator left . Now I'm able to say , that this pedal is as cheap as a tank of petrol . Price includes signed for post .

    This afternoon’s effort- bit OTT, but it’d be rude not to really
  14. E sharp
    Didn’t know you were thinking of selling that one. How does it compare to the Handbox?
  15. E sharp
    There’s been loads of stories about people doing support, and main band has Norman Watt Roy on bass, who’s royally blown the support band bassist’s back line and walked off. But it’s alright, cause he’s a diamond bloke ain’t he ……..

    Blonde on Sky Arts now- 2010 Glastonbury gig. To my ears it’s sounds like they’re pretty under rehearsed. Clem Burke is still really good

    Trim pots fully open. Played notes whilst I turned trim pots up and down- nothing. Like the core sound of it, but I’m not sinking £719 for controls that don’t work. Thomann said they’re getting back to me
  18. E sharp
    Sending it back - just E Mailed Thomann , on how to do this . I've done months of research on the Sonic Farm , and was aware that the High and Low EQ switches are subtle , but they appear to do absolutely nothing at all . Thought it may be too subtle through speakers , but I've just been testing on headphones , and both switches seem to do naff all - and I mean zilch . Disappointed really .

    Trying this new mic pre out with my power amp, as a possible new rig, as a change to my trusty Eden head. Really nice it sounds. Tried with all basses, and the Dingwall, which is my main bass, and favourite, sounds great. Bogart, which is my least favourite to play, sounds great through it too. Modulus, which is all singing and dancing with every possible combination of actives and coil taps, sounds far too polished for my taste. Though I’ve hardly played it since I bought it.

    Trying it out now, really nice. Bass and treble switches don’t do much, but the core tone is lovely
  21. E sharp
    That looks really nice
  22. E sharp
    The tone controls are quite limited; but it’s really a high end DI, and basic pre. I’ll see how it goes. Can always add a simple EQ pedal on the board
  23. E sharp
    This came today. Won’t be able to try it out properly until tomorrow, when I’ll have an empty house for 3 hours - which never happens. Idea is for it to run straight into a Crest CA9, then into two Berg HD212’s. I’ll see how that pans out
  24. E sharp
    After selling my Aguilar DB751, I’ve gone back to my Eden head. Wanting a bit more ‘heft’, I use it into a Crest CA9. Sometimes I use the headphone out into the amp, or if I fancy bypassing the tone controls, I use the effects loop into the amp- so the Eden is then just a basic pre amp, with no tone controls. This works really well, and got me thinking. So my final big buy after the cull of most of my gear is the Sonic Farm 2DI4 DI/pre. Just waiting now for delivery. So I’m now firmly going down this road. There’s a few on here doing this I think, and quite a few threads over on Talkbass about DI’s and Mic pres straight into amps.

    I’m similar- Modulus 5 and Dingwall Super P5. I don’t need this, and by rights should spend on something else, but lately really drawn to P5’s
