Ian Savage Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) Another clearout towards the basic cost of living Few drum things: - an interesting pair of 12" hi-hats, the top one at least of which is a Zildjian Avedis. The guy I bought these from reckoned they were from the 1950s, the Zildjian logo matches this and there are pictures of similarly-drilled Zildjian bottom hats around, so it's quite probable that they are an original pair. Whether they are or not, they match perfectly, sound great and have no cracks, keyholing or other damage. I'll do some soundclips if anyone's interested; say fifty quid for these? A Stagg 16" thin crash cymbal; I'm not going to use any spiel on this, it's not great, but it's servicable, not cracked or keyholed and a step up from the brass starter stuff many drum kits come packaged with. Had it in the bag as a spare but never needed it; a tenner plus the postage or collect? Aaaannnnd a Gibraltar stool from the late 80s/early 90s; good thick padding, rock-solid base, a tiny tear in the top which I've glued down. SOLD And finally I find myself in the absurd position of owning half-a-dozen microphone stands and only two mics after my last clearout, so the two I've hardly used can happily go - one's a nice K&M boom, one of these: [url="http://www.dv247.com/microphones/kandm-st210-7-microphone-boom-stand--17647"]http://www.dv247.com/microphones/kandm-st2...om-stand--17647[/url] and the other a cheap and cheerful (and surprisingly useful, as it has clip threads on both the straight and boom parts of the stand; I've used the one stand to mic both hi-hats and snare simultaneously in the past, handy) Thomann job, like this: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/millenium_ms2005_mic_stand.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/millenium_ms2005_mic_stand.htm[/url] £25 for both of 'em? I'm Birmingham/Warwickshire/Worcestershire/Staffordshire-based, between home, daughter, work and family, so if anyone wants to meet up to save posting anything there's options! Cheers y'all...

Ian Savage Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) Bump for a couple of other things I've decided I can do without: One 'Ultimate' guitar stand, home use only so in very good nick, one of these: [url="http://www.ultimatesupport.com/product/GS-200"]http://www.ultimatesupport.com/product/GS-200[/url] - sold pending the usual And I'm not happy about doing this, but needs must; my Studiomaster Trilogy 206 desk. All the features you need for doing anything short of full-on halls - 14 mic channels plus two 'Multi' channels which'll take either mic, stereo line or both, four stereo aux inputs for effects returns, laptops/MP3 players etc (two of which can be routed to monitor sends), six aux sends, inserts and direct outs on all mic channels, four-band semi-parametric mid eq on mic channels, four assignable sub-groups with individual outputs...basically a total workhorse of a desk! External power supply too (which is of course included), helps keep electronic noise down. Overview here: [url="http://www.studiomaster.com/1995%20-%201998.htm"]http://www.studiomaster.com/1995%20-%201998.htm[/url] Was all working perfectly when I last took it out on a gig six months ago, the fact I haven't used it since is what's prompted offering it up - shall check functionality fully early this week! Only issue to my knowledge at the minute are two missing knob caps; one of them is 'around somewhere' as it's gone AWOL since I last used it, the other I'm sure I can find a substitute for. Say £120? I'll get pics later when I'm not chasing a toddler around a room that looks like a bombsite, just thought I'd get them up here before I change my mind about the desk Edited June 12, 2011 by Ian Savage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the short answer's yes If you're planning on running four monitor mixes plus two effects sends, that's exactly how I've been using it; a couple of the aux returns can also be routed to aux sends 5 and 6 (and have basic EQ) as well, so I've tended to use aux 5 for the centre vocal, where they might want some vocal reverb in the wedge, and 6 for the drum monitor, where they might want a clue of any effects you're applying to the snare then aux 3 and 4 for the other two monitor mixes. 'course, if you can spare one of the Multi channels (actually, now I think about it, the M stands for 'Mon:Ster' as in mono:stereo, not Multi, but hey ho) to return your effects you can route 'em wherever you like. EDIT: meant fixed pre-fade on 5&6, I am a moron Edited June 13, 2011 by Ian Savage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monckyman Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Ta for the reply, I hoped they were switchable in 2sSo that`s cool. Pretty useful. Anything need fixing, ie scratchypots or faders? Ta, MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully refurbished it when I bought it a couple of years ago (nothing needed fixing, just a bit of an internal dust-down and vacuuming) so I'm assuming it'll all still be fine, but best to be sure; I'll let you know for sure tomorrow.

Ian Savage Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) I am pleased to report the full functionality of the 206 Oh, got the original manual as well, but you sound like you know what you're doing anyway Oh, edit - just noticed your Torque head up for trades, I might have a use for that - shame there's no XLR DI, but I'm sure I've got a DI box somewhere...don't suppose you get much south of Manc at all do you?
