Yes its a brilliant instrument, such a joy to play. I found the spacing initially an adjustement, but now I prefer tighter spacing! To answer your question, I've had a fiddle with it and in passive and yes the treble knob does change the tone, nothing too dramatic, I would say a subtle tone control. -
The VBA400 is one of the best amps I’ve ever played, absolute beast. Sadly I have zero room for it otherwise I’d love to get my hands on one. -
Can't see them getting even close to those 😀 Sold my Sarzo a few years back , got £500 and that was from someone actively seeking Sarzo 😀 Pink burst RJ-IV was another "actively seeking" sale, even specified the colour. Sold to a German fella in Feb this year. Got £400 and Virgin Money snatched £10 for accepting a £ sterling payment from a German bank 🤬 Final kick in the spuds as I was £600+ buying it from the US.

Fantastic, discontinued, analog delay pedal inspired by the EHX Deluxe Memory Man and BOSS DM-2, but with far more scope and possibilities (per usual for Chase Bliss!) Has lived in my smoke-free and pet-free studio. A few small cosmetic scratches, which show up more than normal due to the metallic finish, but pedal in perfect working order. Ships with original wooden box, manual and velvet pouch.-

Unused, mint pedal. Only used once to test it before listing. Purchased for a project but ended up not using it. Price includes shipping in the UK JHS' blurb below! The JHS Emperor V2 is a true analogue bucket brigade Chorus and Vibrato Pedal with tap tempo and expression control, waveform selection, TRS stereo output and active EQ. The Emperor is a vintage style effect that absolutely nails the hard to find sound of the Arion SCH-1 stereo chorus but its also a do it all modulation solution whether you want a subtle sheen, convincing rotary simulation or seasick vibrato, vibrato mode removes all the dry signal for true pitch modulation (Boss VB-2 style). It utilizes a Bucket Brigade 3207 chipset to deliver the warmth of '80s style analogue chorus pedals with enough control to put you in command of every aspect of the Emperor’s voice. The tone control has been improved by using an active EQ that functions as a tilt, noon is flat, turning to the left boosts highs and cuts lows while turning right boosts lows and cuts highs giving much more tone shaping capability without losing any low end sometimes found with chorus/vibrato pedals. Control the rate of the effect with either the speed knob, tap tempo footswitch or through the side mounted jack, the jack allows you to plug in an external tap tempo controller or an expression pedal for variable control in real time (side mounted switch selects between tap switch or expression pedal in), you can even slave the pedal to other tap controlled pedals for rhythmic consistency across all your effects (e.g. JHS Panther Cub Delay and Unicorn pedals). The Depth knob controls the amount of modulation, a switch selects between chorus and vibrato effects and a waveform switch selects between sine, square and triangle waveform types. The JHS Emperor V2 has a hidden stereo trick up its sleeve, plugging a TRS splitter cable in to the output jack will give true stereo output for use with two amps. An internal switch changes from buffered to true bypass operation, the high quality buffer helps drive long cable runs and complex pedal setups while restoring high end loss. Whether spreading its warm tones or icy sheen to a pristine sounding stereo rig or utilising an external expression pedal for realistic rotary speaker sounds on a blues gig, the Emperor can do it all.

Hologram Dream Sequence, from one of the very first runs. Very clean : has lived in my smoke-free and pet-free studio. Ships with original box and manual. No power supply, but runs off standard 9v pedal board power. https://www.hologramelectronics.com/dream-sequence?srsltid=AfmBOoobS5vs9BLszR9Tk8O5gvnNro8_cT-3RJkUM4RGQXT4Q3QHsco4 -
Sorry - even owners of the full fat TONEX have to buy the bass pack separately for €99.99 if they want it. I wasn’t implying that owners of the Tonex have to buy the bass pack or their unit self destructs. Crikey 🥸🙃

Somewhere in the “build threads “ search for -semi hollow fretless , it’s a well documented build by the genius known as Jabba the Gut .

That is a stunning bass, GLWTS John -

Far too many strings..... Seems like a bargain GLWTS. -
Not ‘have to’, but can if they want to 🤔
-
Even owners of the full fat TONEX have to buy the bass pack separately for €99.99 - it’s not a free update for anyone I don’t think
-
Yup, up for that. Thanks for picking up the mantle ...

No. . . . if the audience doesn't turn up you are playing to the promoter and trying to prove to him that you are worth booking again. . . . on a better night or in a better venue.

The stock ToneX One has some very good bass models* such as The Fridge (SVT), and there are a lot more on ToneNet as captures.* The Bass editions include 150 more bass presets (not models), plus a license for the Signature Bass Collection (150 models) for download. They are selling the latter separately for €100 (here before VAT), so if you buy a new Bass edition, you’re getting those models at a major discount off that price. But as I said, I don’t actually want or need 150 more models, and I wish they would offer some separately. * as I understand it, a Capture captures a signal chain at a particular set of settings, while a Model emulates the signal chain with its actual controls. So if I change the Gain or EQ on The Fridge (model), that should react similarly to the controls on a real Ampeg SVT. But if I use (say) a GK 800RB capture from ToneNet, that was captured at certain settings, and while the Gain and EQ on the ToneX still do stuff, they aren’t modelling the equivalent controls on the GK. A Preset then is the amp model or capture plus the other settings (compressor, EQ, effects etc.)

It's an endemic problem when you have a nice selection of gear. Choose one as your main bass, get to know it well. Look at the other ones while you are practising on that one and count your blessings.

Oh, there's no shortage of bass builders. The acid test for their relative popularity and desirability though, is how easy it is to sell a used bass to the general public. A few of the basses you mention have conspicuously poor resale value, if you can find a buyer. More celebrated marques will trounce their worthy but less high-profile counterparts. Pay six grand for a new fancy custom Overwater or ACG and pay six grand for a basic standard model Fodera, put them both on Basschat and see how much of your outlay you can get back and how quickly.

Simple. Just buy another bass that covers all the tones you think you'll need.

Bringing this old thread back to life, and kind of following on from what @SumOne was saying, I currently have 7 and find myself a bit overwhelmed by them all. When I'm at home I end up playing one for 10 minutes, then swapping over to another, then another and get more obsessed by their different tones than with getting on with playing. I wonder if other people find this and how you deal with it?

Set number 2 now withdrawn, been cut down to fit a shortscale rather beautifully... -
👍🏽 -
Bought these from the marketplace here, they're nicely worn in - bright with the tone fully open, warmer with tone down. I'm not a fan of roundwounds, so here they are. Don't know the gauge, or composition, sorry. I think they're nickel... Price includes postage. Cheers.
