Beagle's 'moving house' clearout thread! Mostly music-related...
Some of this is already up on the forum in other threads, but as I pack to move into my new flat I keep finding other bits that I can do without (and also, the up-front costs of moving are more than I remember them being) so all in one place, here's my clearout! Anything that hasn't got pictures will have in the next day or so, and I'm still going to be in south Birmingham for anything that people might want to collect.
First up, Aria electro-acoustic guitar - bit of a beater, but plays fine, sounds nice and electronics work as they should! Had this as my jam night/BBQ guitar; the pickup didn't work when I got it and I think the undersaddle piezo strip's actually dead, so I glued in an under-saddle 'bug' and wired it to the onboard tone and volume knobs instead. Has it's share of dings and scratches, as you can see, but I reckon well worth £40 of anyone's money as a spare/starter/rehearsal room/van acoustic.
I have a Gator hardcase which I could (would want to!) ship it in if it needs shipping; this has a crack at the head end but it's still structurally sound, £15 to include it.
Next up, staying music-related, a pair of Iron Gear Hot Slag humbuckers SOLD.
Also have a Kawai KC20 synthesiser / MIDI controller, a nice-sized 'board for a home studio (only about a metre wide, full-size keys, pitch and mod wheels); this is in really good nick for a 15-year-old bit of kit (plastic still on the LCD screen) and sounds surprisingly good for its age too - string sounds in particular are lush, but everything on there's usable and the MIDI in/out means you can use it as a pretty fully-featured controller as well (no aftertouch, but apart from that...). Only looking for £65 delivered for this, you'd struggle get a sound-less 61-key controller for that!
Staying vaguely music-related, a House of Blues bowling shirt SOLD
More to come when I get home, rehearsal beckons!

Will PM you about the shirt...
Can I have dibs on the Iron Gears? They're for a mate, who I'm away to text.
By all means! HoB shirt sold also, more stuff coming shortly...Originally Posted by DiscoStu
Right then, I'll take the Iron Gears. They are a bridge and neck set, aren't they?
Is there enough wire in them for sticking in a Les Paul?
It is indeed a neck and bridge set; and yep, plenty of wire for a LP! They HAVEN'T got screws and springs, but they're a standard fitting so should be able to use the ones there already.
Lemme know how you want to do monies and where you want 'em sending!
Chucked you one o them PM doozies.
Our bassist needs a pair of studio monitors...don't suppose you're getting rid of any, are you?
Failing that...if you've not shifted the acoustic by the time we play the Roadhouse, I may well take it off your hands. Which, of course, will probably be too late for you moving house, but it's my daughter's 18th tomorrow and another guitar in the house would result in both a broken budget and broken legs.

You're on man; it's been on-and-off for sale here for ages, so if I've still got it in six weeks or so all yours!Failing that...if you've not shifted the acoustic by the time we play the Roadhouse, I may well take it off your hands.

Stand by for more additions to thread...
Okay, a few mics I can do without before I go to bed...
A Rode NT1 SOLD!
Also got an AKG C410 headset mic, with the B9 belt-clip power supply. Probably more of interest to singing drummers than anyone else, as it's not wireless, but this is a top-bollocks Britney job with a balanced 1/4" jack output on the beltpack.
More used than the Rode (as I used it a fair few times as a singing drummer); the plastic angle adjustment part on the headset kinda doesn't work, so it's held in place with tape, BUT once you've got it in place it's actually a really good quality mic capsule (same as the C4-- series drum mics) and has a brand-new windshield so you're in no danger of getting drummer-germs.
I'll throw in the 6m balanced 1/4"-XLR (all Neutrik) cable I'd been using with this for £50 delivered, should you wish to hear your drummer's voice in a set you won't get better at that price.
And finally an AKG C418 clip-on drum mic; this one doesn't work 'as is'. I bought it believing that even though some misguided fool had taken off the AKG phantom power adaptor and put on a regular XLR it'd work - it doesn't. I'm led to believe it's a fairly easy thing to rig up, but I haven't got the time to do - the capsule itself checks out on a multimeter exactly as the 410 in the previous paragraph, but it needs some form of conditioning. Twenty-five quid delivered if you know what you're doing and can nurse it back to life (or if you want it for spares - it's got the case and everything).
Again, more to come...
