Hi all, A recent hip replacement has gifted me something special: clarity and a frightening amount of spare time to play with my gear and even more hours to realise I don't need most of it. So, here’s your chance to snag a pedal that’s in excellent condition: gently neglected, thoroughly appreciated, and now ready for a new home! Here is the link to the Blackhole on the Eventide Website. Go ahead, fall down the rabbit hole of overly poetic knob explanations. (‘reverb pedal as big and mysterious as the cosmos.’ What does that mean?)” Alternatively, here's the sales pitch bit Eventide Blackhole – Deep Space Reverb for Bassists Take your bass tone into uncharted territory with the Eventide Blackhole. This pedal delivers massive, ambient reverb from Eventide’s legendary algorithm—perfect for adding atmosphere without muddying your low end. Tailored Control: Dial in your sound with hands-on knobs or go deeper via MIDI and software. Flexible Setup: Works in mono or stereo, with input options for bass guitar or line-level rigs. Studio-Grade Sound: From subtle space to infinite decay, Blackhole keeps your low frequencies tight and clear. Ideal for ambient, experimental, or cinematic bass tones—Blackhole lets your sound breathe and expand. Specification Five presets loaded at your feet with dozens more available with Eventide Device Manager (EDM) software Rear panel Guitar/Line Level switch for selecting use with guitar, synths, FX loop or DAW interface Map any combination of parameters to an Expression Pedal. Use a single Aux switch to Tap Tempo or a triple Aux switch for easy preset changing (up/down/load). MIDI capability over TRS (use with a MIDI to TRS cable or converter box) or USB Multiple Bypass options: Buffered, Relay, DSP+FX or Kill dry Eventide Device Manager PC or Mac application for software updates, system settings and creating/saving presets Fine-tune your tone with Lo, Hi and Q (resonance) controls. Use the tone controls to add airiness or clear up the low-end. Map the EQ controls to an expression pedal to add movement to the reverb tail. Box includes pedal, quick reference guide and universal power supply Recorded delivery within the UK is included in the price. If you’d prefer an alternative postage option, feel free to get in touch to discuss. EU shipping, however, involves a soul-crushing bureaucracy designed by someone who clearly hates bass players. So… no shipping to the EU I'm afraid. I'm happy to answer any questions, though be warned - I’ve spent more time looking at these pedals than actually using them; they’ve basically lived a sparse life under soft lighting. I'm not looking for any trades at the moment. Regards, Neil.

***PRICE DROP NOW £1300*** 2010 US Stingray, 2EQ, CAR with rosewood board. One of the limited edition 133 basses, full fat ‘ray but with a soft gig bag case instead of a hard shell job. This is in excellent condition with one very minor ding on the top edge, and the pickguard is quite marked but obviously easily replaceable. Comes with a Hipshot D-tuner (long key though instead of short… doh), if you want the original tuner key I’ll chuck it in. I’ve also replaced the pickup with a Nordstrand MM4.2, which sounds flippin’ great. She’s quite heavy (10lb) but with a decent wide strap it feels ok. ***EDIT*** now comes with the option of a Warwick Rockbass semi-rigid case - photos added. Loathe to post this but can at buyer’s (insured) expense, or can meet in person at either Portsmouth, Southsea, Southampton or Lymington (I’m on the I.O.W.)
