    New Pedal Board!!!

    Doesn’t look quite right but I think I figured it out: *EHX BassBalls *Tech 21 Chicken Leg *VS H20 Chorus *DI (unknown) This is actually the comm board my neighbor uses for his Australian Shepherd. Susan is thinking of fabricating one for ME…please free to insert snide remarks below. Riis

    For The IT Guys Out There....

    Is there such a thing as a reputable, reliable online / remote computer diagnostics & repair service? I'm having several issues which need to be addressed and don't feel like dragging my PC half-way across town. The searches for remediation are fruitless as they offer every solution...

    It's Back!!!......"Oops! We ran into some problems. Please try again later. More error details may be in the browser console."

    Showed-up again a couple days (?) back. This was addressed and remedied previously but I felt the recurrence was worthy of a new thread. Thanks / Riis

    Richmond VA TBers!

    Here's the deal: I will be attending a funeral in Richmond on Monday which includes a 30 minute drive up 301 (towards Hanover CH) for an additional graveside service. I don't mean to sound callous but I'd like to blow-off the procession and visit one or more of the better music stores in the...

    Bartolini Dual Coil Re-wiring...Worth the Effort?!?

    This thread dovetails an earlier "replacement" discussion re: Bartolini BD5C soapbars. They're not terribly exciting but I find the options (spec'ly Delano drop-ins) to be offsetting in terms of expense ($300 +). I took another look at the install sheet and there appears to be any number of...

    Replacement for Bart Soapbars: 100 mm X 35 mm?

    I can live with them but they're not my favorite (BD5C). I'm tripping over myself trying to ID something with like dimensions (100 mm X 35 mm). Any suggestions? Thx for the assistance! Riis

    Budget Alternatives To The BDDI / VT?

    For the past year, I've heaped praise on the Sonicake B Factory which resides on my board...it was free and I'm a cheapskate. I'd like a second / back-up but reluctant to drop any coin on the mid / higher-tier offerings...let's keep the price point <$100. Basic requirements: *DI & 1/4"...

    Price Check: Bergantino HS410

    Ran across a like-new Bergie HS410 locally for $375. Other than being heavier-than-hell, is this a decent deal? Thx! / Riis

    Slightly "Stiffer" Than Dunlop SuperBrights?

    Long story short: I'm close to exhausting my supply of Dunlop SuperBrights and would like to move on to something a tad stiffer. First thing that comes to mind is the DR Lo-Riders in a 40-120 set. Any other suggestions / recommendations? Thanks / Riis

    QSC TouchMix Series / Reliability Issues?

    Sweetwater is blowing these out at $899 (16 channel) and may be a nice upgrade to our dwindling pile of analog mixers. Simplicity is paramount as this will be used in a single band scenario with a bunch of tech-challenged individuals, myself included. I've seen a handful of reviews addressing...

    "Ya No" / Selena > Basic Chord Chart?

    Cosette can sing it but I'm having a heckuva time finding a properly-transcribed chart. As always....thanks!! Riis

    Built-in / "One Knobby Jobby" Compressors...

    Just blew 1/2 of my compressor funds on a shopping spree at the local Walmart....c'est la vie. I figured this would be a great opportunity to re-visit the resident comps on my existing hardware...here's the tally: *EBS Reidmar amp *Tech 21 Bass Fly Rig *BBE BMax preamp *Zoom B3n multi FX...

    Request "Too Far From The Bar" - Need Lyrics!

    The tune is easy-peasy but I'm half-deaf and having difficulty discerning the lyrics...same with finding same on-line. Goes something like this: "What's the matter, don't you know who we are?....he sat us too far from the bar!" Thanks! / Riis

    SOLD Niche Devices Humboldt Compressor / Preamp...

    Had this a few months and it truly lives-up to the great press. In my case, it's "pearls before swine". I have it sitting on top of my practice amp and will never see a pedal board nor the light-of-day. I'm doing some serious downsizing and relying on component based single-knob jobbies and...

    Plumbers / Water Heaters....

    Not looking for a diagnosis, just some guidance as I pursue a repair on a 9 y.o. electric unit: *Inexplicably, water temperature suddenly increased sharply...kicked safety switch. *Re-set switch and unit functions but, again, kicks safety within a day or so. I've seen both a faulty thermostat...

    SOLD Epifani Performance PS1000 / Dual 500 Watt Amps...

    Now $450 shipped! I actually had the entire rig for sale but only sold one 3x10 enclosure...kept the balance as I needed to have at least one gig-worthy ensemble for the interim. As my age creeps-up slowly, I've convinced myself I need something with a smaller footprint yet capable of doing...

    SOLD Thomastik-Infeld "C" / .029 / JR34029 Strings...

    I purchased (2) 6 string sets for a 5 string project...long story...and, as a result, have (2) leftover high C strings. Both are brand-new, never installed, still in the sleeve. I saw them on Amazon for ~$22 each so I'm figuring $12.50 each is borderline fair. Will also trade for a lesser 5...

    BBE BMax: Compressor > Signal Path?

    I recently acquired an essentially NOS BMax (...SS, not the "T") for my rehearsal rig...bonus points as it's the MIA model. Did a search but having some difficulty determining where the compressor resides in the signal path. As it stands, I have to dime (fully clockwise) the control for any...

    SOLD Aphex 104 Aural Exciter Type C2 w/ Big Bottom

    It's analog, old, obsolete, & antiquated but works like a champ...I used it for years in our PA rig. Great for adding a little ooomph to a marginal PA or bass rig. We placed it in the mixer's main insert(s) but should work just as well in a conventional FX loop. It is a dual-channel unit so...

    SOLD SansAmp Rackmount...the Original Silverface!!

    I've had this for eons but need something with a cleaner character that "plays nicely" with external OD-centric pedals. Considering mid-tier rackmount preamps and full-option mic channels (EQ's, comp, etc.). This is an early 90's (?) SansAmp all-purpose rackmount tube amp emulator. It is the...

    SOLD Dunlop SuperBright (Nickel) Set for B-E-A-D Tuning / FREE!

    These are NOS remnants from a Dunlop SuperBright Nickel 6 string set...65-85-105-130. Still in the original sleeves. Lord knows where the G & C ended-up! Then again, if you can find some singles, one can easily cobble together a 5 or 6 string set. Best part is they're free. Just need an...

    Lighter-Weight Bass Bridges / 5 String?

    I'm trying to shave some weight from a favorite bass...I have the tuners covered...and this particular instrument sports a fairly hefty gold Gotoh monstrosity ~85 mm (wide) X 55 mm with a string spacing center-to-center of ~17.5 mm / .6875" I really don't feel like dropping $200 on a Hipshot in...

    SOLD Fernandes APB 5 Bass (MIJ)...

    I actually have a couple of these and keeping the lighter of the two.... This is a 30 y.o. (early '90's) Fernandes APB 5 bass manufactured by the Fugi-whatever plant in Japan. It's in VGC and weighs in at ~9 lbs. It's actually the predecessor to the Fernandes Gravity used by Robert Trujillo /...

    “Unconventional” Rackmount Preamps….

    Just curious as to who is using non-bass-specific rackmount pre’s for live performance. Riis

    Aphex 301 Compellor...Blast From the Past

    Preface: I posted this query in "Effects" but with no responses...I'm not surprised. My buddy picked one up during a recent curb-crawl. It fires-up but has not yet been inserted in any signal path as of yet. I know zilch about recording gear and hoping someone can shed some light on what I...

    Aphex 301 Compellor ??

    Preface: My buddy, Tim, is the king of the curb-crawl and always stumbling across abandoned / orphaned hardware. Last week's haul included a fully functional Crest 2600 power amp (!), DOD rackmount GEQ, Sabine tuner, dbx crossover (234), and a most bizarre Aphex 301 Compellor (...mid 80's...

    No longer available Epifani PS1000 / UL 310 (2) Rig...now $1350

    *Marked down to $1350...will sell as scaled-down rig (amp + one enclosure) if desired!!* The cold slap of reality: I'm getting too old for this stuff or, at least, the lugging-around part... I'm offering up my full-blown Epifani rig for trade (preferred) or sale. Shipping costs negate the...

    Modular Bass Rig?? Used??

    If all goes as planned, I'll be parting ways with my full-blown rig. Hoping to down-size to a smaller lightweight & manageable component-based system: *Used and < $1500. *Considering a combo w/ ext cab OR separate amp and (2) enclosures. *Prefer 12" or 15" drivers so that once combined, I...

    Rare Bird: Rocktron Bass mAXE?!?

    Anybody remember these? I enjoy the more obscure gear and found a couple available second-hand...might make a nice back-up to my back-up! Riis

    Hofner Double-Cutaway / Strange Agent / Needs ID'd...

    Not sure what we have here but it's coming across my workbench in a week or so. Typical Hofner in many regards including that damnable floating bridge which is missing 3 of its saddle inserts. If you can provide any insight, I'd greatly appreciate the contribution! Riis

    SOLD DSM OmniCabSim (Mini)

    Ah, I'll never use it...I've got more cab sim than I can use via my SansAmp BFR and SansAmp rackmount. That being said, it's really quite impressive and would make an excellent end-of-chain DI. My only complaint is the graphics are pretty chintzy...I managed to rub-off some portion of the 1/4"...

    Boss GT-1B vs Zoom B3N vs ???

    The story thus far...I had a Zoom MS60B and traded it off. Nice pedal but the size and scrolling process rendered it impractical for live application. I need something a little bigger with individual foot switches so I can readily kick-thru or on/off 3-5 patches. Really don't need loopers and...

    SOLD BBE BMAX-T Tube Bass Preamp...

    Bought this as the resident preamp for our rehearsal space but I'm over-amped at this point...if that's even possible... This is a really nice BMAX-T w/ the original Ruby tube. I rolled a couple of other tubes thru the system but found the Ruby to be the best choice. Works like a champ. Some...

    SOLD Hanewinckel 5

    Haven't touch this or any number of my basses for over a year...guess it's time to down-size! This is a really nice Hane 5 but w/o the fancy body woods (...and price tag!). Please read the description below carefully! *34" scale, 24 frets, 18 mm spacing, nut width 49 mm (5 string SoundGear is...

    SOLD Acme B-2 Enclosures...$300 for Both!

    My playing days are petering-out so it's time to off-load my surplus including (2) Acme cabs, (1) B-2 serie 2 and (1) B-2W series 2. They're heavier-than-hell when compared to newer offerings so I'm reluctant to ship unless buyer covers 100% of S&H. This, IMO, is a great deal for anyone living...

    Dunlop SuperBrights Used for Years...What's Next?

    Thanks to a QC issue, I ended-up with two cartons of the SB nick's & SS's. I just installed my last set and in the market for some replacement 5 string sets. I'd like to stick with roundwounds but a product with a slightly smoother feel and greater flexibility. Just turned 63 and suffering...

    For Sale DigiTech Bass Multi Voice Chorus

    $40 shipped OBO!! Great bass chorus but I rarely use a full pedal board nowadays. 100% functional, cosmetics are passable as there is some finish-loss on the reverse. No box, no power source, no manual. Comes w/ 3M Dual-Lock as pic'd...added value! These things are really bizarre thanks to...

    ID These Strings (...first time...be gentle)
