You guys have convinced me I will order one

I know this is a very late reply but incase anyone reads this and is thinking about one. I had in the early 90s (got it in 93 I think and traded it around 2000) RBX1000 which was the top of the RBX range. It was a very good bass, very light and I thought the range of sounds I got out of it was great. Only thing I would say that let it down was the electronics and I used very early outboard Sadowsky preamp with it which made it sound fantastic. I have often thought about tracking one of these down for the sake of it but I only play 5 strings last 25 years so I would probably never touch it.

Absolutely perfect, it is a great pedal for a band setting. I wouldn't record a drop D bass downtuned by 3 semitones, but in a band it is not an issue. It is really good when you are doing a song and the singer wants to knock it down a couple of semitones. There are some songs that it is easy enough on a 5 string, but if it is a song in drop D (like most of the metal songs), it is a pain without this.

Could you put him in touch with me please. Cheers, Woody

Yes, it's the best performing pitch shifter I have ever tried, and I've owned 3. It copes admirably in a band setting - I use mine all the time. Not only for those requests to play a song in a different key, but I also use the octave up blended in with overdrive for a bit of "fake guitar" action sometimes. I've pushed it as low as -3 live and it's been decent, eminently useable.
-
Now the build is complete I am thinking of selling the bass (my enjoyment comes from the process not the end product) How would one go about valuing such an instrument?
-
Still in cat 1. I will try harder next year for a proper fail, those basic ‘Rays look interesting.
-
Very curious about the XS-1 pedal. Mostly to just change key, up or down 1-2 steps and nothing more than that. How are you guys finding it? I does it cope in a band setting?
-
That looks lovely. Are you going to put some sound samples up?

I've got a set of HotRod Nightrain P+J handwound, UK made pickups by Eternal Guitars. This pair is meant to recreate the Duff McKagan tone from the classic GnR era. It's an Eternal Thumper P pickup and an Eternal '84 J. These are very rock-oriented pickups and sound huge. I'm selling because all I seem to have is really hot pickups in everything. I'm replacing these with more vintage, much less hot pickups. These currently sell for £255. They're not sold as a Nightrain these days but you can buy them individually: https://www.eternal-guitars.com/product-page/jb-84-jazz-bass-pickup https://www.eternal-guitars.com/product-page/pb-thumper-precision-bass-pickup The original design of these pickups was done by Andy at Wizard pickups who sold his designs and equipment to Eternal. -
Bargain! Christmas present for some lucky person! -
If you're just dipping your toe in, get a 434! At least you'll find out if you like the looks and the general ergonomics.
-
Perhaps some kind Basschatter, local to your area could drop in to see you (or you to them) ,for advice and set-up? Just a thought, as people on here are so helpful. Best of luck with it.
-
I know someone selling this... It’ll need an offer. Gary is spot on with that price range.
-
Great bit of kit this and I love mine. You won't be disappointed if you're after some EQ, Gain and Compression. GLWTS lapolpora- 1 reply

Darkglass B7K Ultra V2 with original box. In good condition with velcro on underside. £260 posted. Thanks for looking. -
Been looking at the BBP34 too as a ‘nice PJ’ but just wondering if it’s gas or if I should really check one out. That or a 434
-
For £869, I'm really enjoying my new NS Icon 5. It's a lovely bass at that price and definitley has the Spector DNA in it even if it isn't totally traditional electronics wise. I feel like a used Euro would be a safe bet too. I played some 4 string Euros at a bass bash and they were very well put together.

I had the same feeling about the sound of D and G string but I think that changing the height of the pick ups slightly it should be solved. About the strings, currently I'm using Daddario NYXL 45-130 and I love it but when I have to change them I will return to the DR Black beauties, my favourite strings (45-125 gauge).

I’m still in. I’ve bought a set of strings this year, and have made 4 new pedals without having to buy any new components too!

I'll send you a vid... I reckon my avant garde creations will really work for the Tuesday 3pm slot
-
That is absolutely brilliant. Well done you!
-
All the very best with the venture!
