uk_lefty Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I realised today that I can gig a set up almost entirely bought from the BC marketplace. Fender CIJ Jazz Boss GT10B multi effects Ashdown RM500 Head Ashdown 1x15 speaker The only things I've not bought from BC are the strings, cables and gig bag. That's a very decent, reliable gigging set up, all traded with people here who have been fantastic in selling for fair prices, highlighting any small flaws, delivering quickly, no messing about. All for a hell of a lot less than market value, but everyone walks away from the deals happy. I have other gear, of course, but this just proves to me the value of buying second hand but also from buying within this great community! Adding to the gigging set up today is a vocal effects pedal from Happy Jack too, it just keeps growing! Am sure there are plenty of you with similar success stories, let's hear them! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la bam Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 The marketplace has to be the best collection of available gear anywhere! Fantastic resource. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewblack Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Literally everything I need to do a gig except microphone and mic stand. And I'm not a singer so.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRev Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Two basses, three amps and one cab. No problem. Im pretty sure I have actually done a dep gig with all BC sourced gear, I've certainly turned up to rehearsals with the Italia/Markbass/BFM Omni-10 combination 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Just realised I set out one weekend to do a couple of gigs. I incorporated a bit of Basschat buying and trading while on my travels. Turned up for the Sunday afternoon gig with two new speakers, a new P-bass and a new Ashdown head none of which had been with me when I set out from home. Played with them all there and then!

Wow, that’s quite an adventure on the way to a gig. All I get is a three mile diversion to pickup the drummer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painy Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Not necessarily a setup I would actually gig with - but in theory I could. Ibanez SRMS805 into an Ashdown ABM500rc Evoiii through an ABM Mini15. I could include my Budha Chakra compressor and EHX Bass Soul Food pedals too.
