Last bump before evilBay!

Last bump, eBay at the weekend!

[quote name='Spike Vincent' timestamp='1318522133' post='1403302'] How much you looking at for postage? [/quote] Three quid?

Wee bump!

No drummers about? Open to reasonable offers...

[quote name='chrismuzz' timestamp='1318280733' post='1400122'] That's a good deal for just the bass on it's own! Wonderful necks [/quote] Cheers Chris, 'tis indeed a lovely-feeling neck if you like the skinnier side of things (so hence ideal for a beginner or jobbing bass six-string player) but I'm more a baseball-bat-neck person

Got a pair of 13" Stagg SH Brilliant finish hi-hats I can do without, selling on to help clear some debts as I'm not drumming at the minute - an absolutely astounding pedalled 'chick' sound, and very versatile stick sound; they go from a nice jazz click fully-closed to an overpowering rock roar when hit hard open. Quite heavy for 13"s, and in very good condition - a bit of label wearing but no cracks or keyholing whatsoever. [B]£50[/B] Also a Gibraltar 5000 series boom stand, again in very good nick; not much you can say about these, except they're solid as f***: [url]http://www.gibraltarhardware.com/?fa=detail&mid=1203&sid=374&cid=70[/url] [B]£25[/B] And a Gibraltar tom mount for clamping onto cymbal stands, 10.5mm diameter L-rod (check your tom bracket for whether it'll fit or not - I know it'll fit Premier and Slingerland, as that's what I've used it with, have a look at the 4th page of this to see if yours is 10.5mm or 7/8" (bloody imperial system - [url]http://www.gibraltarhardware.com/pdf/allbrands.pdf[/url]). Again in very good nick, I don't over-tighten so the ball's got loads of life left in it. [B]£20[/B] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v669/smokingbeagle/Selling/P1030914.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v669/smokingbeagle/Selling/P1030916.jpg[/IMG] I'm in Birmingham for collection, but it wouldn't cost a lot to post these - give me a shout for any more details!

As per the thread title, going to have one last punt at shifting this on here before I go to evilBay - bought it so that I could run direct into my PA amp and not bother with a bass head but my setup's become slightly more complicated so this won't get used [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v669/smokingbeagle/Selling/P1030910.jpg[/IMG] Right, the skinny - this is essentially a full-on bass preamp in a box, with switchable distortion and compression. They seem to have got a few bad reviews on t'web from people who really don't know how to use them, as they're not like a traditional bass amp: you treat the three 'sections' (direct sound, EQ and distortion) as being in parallel with each other, and blend them as you need to. So, going right-to-left - you set your dry bass level with the 'Dry' knob, which is unaffected by either footswitch. If you've got a bass which needs no EQ (or you're running it into a separate bass amp with EQ), that's your core sound set, sorted. You've then got an EQ section (bass and treble, plus level) to tweak, which can be kicked in and out with the 'Bypass' footswitch; if you need two differently-equalised bass sounds, or a boost behind guitar solos, that's that done. There's then the distortion (which goes from a subtle overdrive to proper filth, quite cool) on a single knob, also footswitchable. The Volume knob then controls the overall output of the unit, again unaffected by either footswitch - hey presto, three potentially vastly different sounds from a single box. The compression works, does the job, although I found it a touch noisy so didn't use it much for recording - wouldn't be noticeable live. There's a balanced XLR DI out on the side, as well as a 1/4" jack to feed an amp (there's also a parallel output on the right-hand side, which gives you access to an uneffected 'clean' bass sound). For a one-stop recording solution, it's the nuts, and would also suit live bass for anyone who wants a 'set-and-forget' two or three-tone rig. It's got a decent power adaptor (which it needs, won't run off batteries) although it's not the official EHX one as I didn't get one with it. Looking at fifty quid for this, collection from Birmingham B13 preferable but it wouldn't cost more than a few quid to post.

Recently acquired to tide me over while I'm bass-less but it looks like I'll be in a position to sort out my Precision (I'm a poet and wasn't even aware of the fact) this week so going to move this on. Comprises a Peavey Milestone 3 bass in excellent condition (I'd say 'as new' if not for a couple of scuffs below the bridge, probably from ball ends during a cack-handed re-string), strap, cable, a few tuition bits ('Bass Basics' book, with CD, 'Teach Yourself Electric Bass' book and 'Learn To Play Bass - 10 Easy Lessons', with CD) and a Peavey Microbass practise amp (which has a surprising amount of bollocks for such a diddy thing!).
