    It's a Providence Dual Bass Station two channel preamp. I was using it to switch between the fretless and my upright

    I’ve moved to a 2x10 as my main cab and this is too good a cab to have as essentially a backup.

    Hello Lee It's about 7mm thick in total, so I'd say medium-light. Cheers Gareth

    Put simply two 8 ohm cabs means the amp sees a 4 ohm load, and divides it equally between the two as they have the same impedance. So your K1 has the potential to put 500 watts into each cab The good news is you will probably never use every single watt. so the fact the 2x10 is only rated at 400 watts should not be an issue.

    I'd put them next to each other, or use the combo as a woofer underneath with the 2x10 on top. Remember that both cabs see equal wattage. That is a great combo. I had one but sold it for a similarly high powered head but with more versatile EQ (Little Marcus 800). I still have the TRV123 extension cab.

    Great cabs, these.

    That's a very nice Mk II, not a Mk III. I had the same LED retrofit to my bass (power button in top right corner of cavity by the battery) and can confirm it should therefore be SIMS work.

    A hardly used Levy's M4GF strap in dark brown. Lovely soft leather, lightly padded, suede backing. WIDTH: 3½ ” LENGTH: 36″ TO 52″ Straplocks have been fitted, but the strap is hardly used. £36 per strap new, I am firm on £25 posted.

    Excellent signature cab made by Markbass for Alain Caron. The 3-way cab features a new custom 12" speaker with 800W power handling, a special new 5" speaker, and a new 1" compression driver. Very high fidelity cab: you really hear what your bass sounds like. The cab has been used very little and is in mint condition. It comes with a very nice "Hot Covers" padded cover (£46). These are £749 new. I'm asking £575 couriered (in the original box) within the UK . IMPEDANCE : 8 ohms SPEAKER SIZE: 1x12" + 1x5" TWEETER: 1" coil compression tweeter BASS PORT: rear POWER HANDLING: 800W RMS CROSSOVER FREQUENCIES: 1.5 KHz / 5.5 KHz FREQUENCY RESPONSE: 40 Hz to 20 kHz SENSITIVITY: 99 dB SPL WEIGHT: 46.73 lbs / 21.2 Kg WIDTH: 14.9 in. / 38 cm DEPTH: 17.12 in. / 43.5 cm HEIGHT: 23.22 in. / 59 cm

    La Bella nylon flats are superb on an acoustic, especially if you're plugging in.

    We had a "twin skin" wooden garden room built a few years ago. It's fully insulated and is usable without additional cooling/heating in all but extremes of temperature. Equipment (amps, drums, electric piano etc) don't seem to suffer in it at all. I don't leave high value instruments out there but cheap ones seem to cope fine in all conditions. Even though it's insulated and has double glazed windows, there's very little attenuation the minute you hit a snare or plug something in! It's morphed into a boycave for my 15yo son recently: PS4 with large flat screen TV and arm chair, and a Roland electric drum kit, seem to dominate the space!

    The Sigma basses are decent enough, I have a fretted one for home noodling. The Fishman preamp is certainly a good unit. The nut needed dropping a touch and it had one high fret, but they are a decent bass for the money.
  18. franzbassist
    Oh nice Dave, a lot of Wal Mk III about these, looks-wise.
  19. franzbassist
    Technically true, yes, but my bass had a 71 neck, 68 pots and oval tuners, so it was a real "parts bin" hybrid. The finish was definitely nitro.

    Brand new in box. This is a high quality, robust foot switch with straightforward Double On/Off functionality perfect for studio or home usage. Steel casing built to withstand heavy use. This product is hard wired at the side with Lynx pro audio cable which is 6 Foot (1.82 Metres) in length and terminates in a Stereo 6.3mm (1/4") jack plug. These are £20 delivered new, so save a fiver.

    Update: Thomann have said I can have the bass repaired in the UK and they will just refund me direct
  22. franzbassist
    Thanks for the replies. Yes, I am inclined to just get it sorted here.

    The fingerboard on my Thomann bass is starting to come away from the neck. They have agreed to repair it and cover return shipping, but I have to get it back to Germany for this to happen, and while I have a very nice soft case I don't own anything suitable to ship it in! I remember the bass came in a very bespoke cardboard box, with all sorts of foam and odd shaped panels, but that went in the bin long ago. Presumably I could hire a hard case, but if so, from where? Any suggestions would be most welcome! Oh and I did ask if they would cover the cost of a repair completed in the UK but they declined. Maybe the easiest option is to get it sorted here anyway though: who's good in Hampshire/Surrey? Thanks Gareth

    "Man of Colours" is a superb album. Choc full of syth-tastic 80s power pop.
