    What a great name for an album Can just imagine BLT or Fluff Freeman announcing - "here's a song off the latest album by King Crimson called Circus Exhibits and W@nkery"

    I bought this a couple of years ago, started putting together a Police era Sting bass and never finished it. The tuner holes were enlarged to fit a set of Fender Player Precision tuners which came off it when I sold the bass they were on. The holes on the back were for the same tuners. The holes were made with a large round file so they're not the neatest but the ferrules hide the kackhandedness of my work when fitted The all important dimensions are: nut width: 38mm Heel width: 63mm Depth at 1st fret: 20mm Depth at the heel: 26mm There are a few small imprefections on the neck that I had trouble seeing under the light, never mind actually photographing. It's incredibly polished so very tricky to get decent pictures under artificial light. I've just tried the truss rod and it moves freely in both directions. I've just had a new Next armschair delivered and believe it or not the allen key that you get to attach the legs to the base is the same size as the truss rod nut so I'll pack this along with the bass Looking for £80 posted to mainland UK or best offer

    And rough anodized scratchplates that can file your nails and take the callouses off your fingers. Seriously though, I'm thinking about changing mine as after 1 gig it looks like a giant nail file covered in powdered skin. Disgusting I know but I've spent the last 34 years building up my callouses and I'm not about to buff them down to the level they were at when I was 12 years old with a scratchplate.

    Pedals that have names that don't tell you what they are. e.g. The "Rectal Convivial Bucket Trumpet" might be the best octave pedal in the world but if you don't tell me that's what it is then how do I know what it is? There are a few pedals in the for sale section with interesting names but I have no clue what they are and the description doesn't tell me either.

    The first of the potential preamp pedals to replace this will be here in the next week so I am open to reasonable offers

    There used to be a seller on Ebay in the US that did individual strings. I got one of every colour on my Yamaha trb6

    I think that the best way to describe it is that it is the same as turning a screw - clockwise to tighten and anticlockwise to loosen regardless of what end the truss rod is on. I bought myself a Vintera P a couple of weeks ago and luckily got the truss rod adjustment spot on the first time I did it. There is a way to do it without completely removing the neck but mine has the tightest neck/body join I've had on a bass which is good in one way but not as far as removal goes. I had to completely remove mine to do it

    I read that bit as two completely different words 😃

    So during the dangerous period between finishing at the end of the year and wedding season starting again in March where I have far too much time on my hands I've decided to sell this and try something new, again! Back up for sale. Not looking for any trades at present
  10. Delberthot
    I've got one of these and absolutely love it. I've always preferred a phaser to a flanger
  11. Delberthot
    I'm surprised no one's mentioned Coldplay yet. 😉

    I settled on a Radial Bassbone Tonebone (that I am still using) as it gave me the sound that I wanted but I did try a Sansamp BDDI V2, Behringer BDI21 and MXR M81 before this

    I sometimes think that members have left only to discover that they've just changed their avatar, especially when they've had the same one for years

    Bought brand new on December 27th 2018 I have been using this as a monitor with my wedding/function band. I've really enjoyed using this and am only selling because we have moved to IEMs. Full specs (and much better pictures) for your viewing pleasure can be found here: https://www.qsc.com/solutions-products/loudspeakers/portable/powered/portable-pa/k2-series/k122/ I'm actually lost for words to describe how good this is and wouldn't be selling if it wasn't for the above. One of the rare times I've actually put something up for sale that I didn't actually want to sell but I'm not going to be using it now so may as well free up the space in the house and give someone else the use of it. For about 17 of the past 36 months it has been sitting in it's tote bag due to obvious reasons but it has always been looked after, in common with all of my gear. I absolutely detest rough looking equipment and having given this a good look over it appears to be in as new condition, as does the tote bag. It's only ever been carried by me in my own car and hasn't been anywhere near the band van I registered it for the 6 year extended warranty but I don't know if it can be transferred or not. If it can then it's not up until 27th December 2024. I also did the firmware update on the QSC website as soon as I got it as well. Being a careful fellow I kept a hold of the box so I can ship this to anywhere in mainland UK. Delivery is coming in from £20 but might vary if you're in a remote area etc. It will be packed inside it's original box, inside the tote bag. I can have it collected by courier Monday to Thursday but could also arrange collection or meet up etc if you're close enough. Payment by bank transfer is preferred. Looking for £575 plus postage but am open to reasonable offers Any questions, please fire away.

    Iron Maiden's Killers is easy on the fretting hand and also for coordination
  16. Delberthot
    I normally play South Side of the Sky when I want to practice using a plectrum - same album but track 4. Alternatively Siberian Khatru from Close to the Edge is another winner for me
  17. Delberthot
    Footloose. Although technically I was playing it as well. This was the first song we did after the bells. Rather than the dinner dance that we were booked for, the hotel modified the event to a sit down meal in the restuarant but it was the best that they could've done given the restriction currently in place. The first half was qute light as there were people still eating but we gave it plenty later on and finished with Uptown Funk to round off a really goog gig, all things considering For the first song actually heard and not performing it would be Canned Heat by Jamiroquai in the car on the way home

    One thing that I have recently discovered, at least to me anyway, is that flats sound terrible through IEMs. I've tried Chromes on my active Jazz and Roto 77s on my passive Precision and they're absolutely awful. They lack any kind of character and sound really wooly. I'm using my Radial Bassbone, Behringer P1 and KZ AS10 IEMs Put rounds on either bass and they come alive again. It could be simply because I'm using a set of £35 Ali Express IEMs but I'd rather spend £18 on a set of strings that I am happy with every 8 or 9 gigs than risk £1000+ with a set of custom IEMs that might still not give me what I'm after. BTW I'm really happy with the IEMs. Took a few gigs to get used to them but am really enjoying it now

    I'm still using, after nearly selling it, a Radial Bassbone Tonebone V2. I absolutely love it because I can change pretty much anything on it and it never sounds shrill or brittle. It has a whole array of things that I'll never use like adjustable input for a piezo pickup, effects loop and so on but it does exactly what I need it to do. I'm using it in conjunction with a passive Radial ProDI. At the moment I go from bass to effects and into the ProDi. At this point I take my feed out to the desk and then use the thru connection into the Bassbone. The out front sound is good but I'm not happy with what I hear coming back at me through the IEMs so I use the Bassbone to get the sound I like. I then use the DI out from the Bassbone into one input on the Behringer P1 headphone amp and the other input contains some drums, guitar, vocals and keyboard from the desk. I run the P1 in dual mono so everything is coming into both in-ears I'm about to start using a second bass so I may change the order of the DIs. I am planning to go into the Bassbone first, get the sounds that I want and get the level of both basses the same. The output will go into the ProDi and that will feed the desk. I'll use the DI on the Bassbone to go into my P1 as I still prefer the sound straight from there rather than the return from the desk The only mildly annoying thing about the Bassbone is that it runs at 15v. I would much rather run it through a multi power supply but I'm not ready to spend £200 on a power supply that'll do 15v In true bass player fashion, as well as having 2 DIs on my pedal board I also have a third backup of a Behginer BDI21 and a passive Art Di as well. just in case I am unlucky enough for 3 DI boxes go faulty on me at the same time 😁

    I have a Radial Bassbone that also runs at 15v. According to Radial you can use 18v but it reduces the life expectancy from 20 years to 18 years. I'm guessing that this is due to the extra heat produced (the supplied 15v adaptor gets quite warm as it is)
  21. Delberthot
    That's the one I use. They're fantastic. In fact I still have one of the older versions before they changed the colour and design
  22. Delberthot
    You've actually given me something to think about. I've just made the move from a QSC K12.2 to IEMs and everything sounds different now so it may be time to try again
  23. Delberthot
    I love the sound of passive precisions when played by others but I can never get a good sound out of them myself
  24. Delberthot
    That's a relief. I hadn't noticed the picture of the back of the body so that's saved me some cash.
  25. Delberthot
    I always use UPS to ship basses through Interparcel I also had one of these and was unlucky enough for it to develop a faulty preamp so I changed it all over to EMGs with the 3 band EQ that barely all fit inside the cavity. 2 9v batteries could be made to fit in the battery compartment by fitting them sideways
