    So, not a fan of these folks, then?

    We're finding this big time on the tribute circuit. There are certain parts of the country where we can pull 250 plus and make pretty decent money, but there are other towns where we struggle to get 50 punters through the doors and are playing for not that much more than pub rock gig money. It's not just us by any means, I've got mates who run venues and they are struggling to make putting on live music cover the bills.

    These look great basses. Do they have that Stingray sound?

    I couldn't say for sure when, but it was a thing on Talkbass years ago. They seemed to enjoy poking fun at their younger members who asked this question a lot. Maybe we adopted it to poke fun at Talkbass in general. We should probably stop now.

    These are superb basses, my one has been my go to bass for over 20 years and thousands of gigs, fab necks and the Fralins are such warm punchy pickups... I prefer mine to any Fender Jazz I've ever played.

    Possibly not irrational but if I see a ukulele about to be played, Im getting out of audible range as quickly as possible. Nothing good has ever involved a ukulele whether its school concerts, buskers or huge bands like Train or Mumford & Sons. All completely unacceptable.

    Heard similar but more Spector, a brand I’m not at all familiar with though so couldn’t compare. Think the Smith sound will be something to do with the soap bars and pickup placement.

    To my eyes its not the right bridge, headstock shape, logo positioning or logo style to be a 70's Ibanez. I'd guess its a Westfield or similar with a transfer put on the headstock and a MIJ back plate added. Either way, £60 ain't much dosh!

    We were back at the Queens Arms in Brixham last night, which is one our favourite pubs to play and we are the landlords favourite band. We set up quick and it sounded good, but later we were told the guitar was too quiet when it was fine at first. A combination of up on his amp and bit more in the PA along with a subtle equaliser tweak sorted it. We were playing quiet well and having a good gig, but there were some moments. A few caused by our singer with one particular strange one. At the end of the second chorus in Go Your Own Way he carried on and then me and the guitarist both went into the ending so we completely missed the middle section. Lots of looking at each other wondering what went on, but we laughed about it as we alesys seem to play our way our of problems. A good size appreciative crowd, and some people I haven't seen for a while. Next gig is NYE at a different pub. Usual rig, which I've photographed close up.

    Beautiful piece of kit... If @Mertonhadn't already PM'd you, I would have definitely have done so myself as I've been after one of these for ages... Anyway, GLWTS - not that you're going to need it. 😁

    Hello, Up for sale is this Fulltone Bass Drive Mosfet. All in good working order. Price includes p&p. Any questions, please send me a message. Cheers!

    I should probably do a review of the LFSYS Silverstone II as I've been using it for a while now. Needless to say, its revolutionised my gigging experience and afforded me more compliments about how the bass sounds than anything else I've used previously. I just need to work on my actual playing now😉. Shout out to Dave Green @Ashdown for his assistance and wisdom in helping me get a lovely old late 90s Mosfet powered ABM400 fully restored in time for today's gig. It was literally bolted together the day before the gig with no real testing. It worked flawlessly, didn't break a sweat, and sounded immense with the Silverstone II. Bass on the day was my lefty USA Standard Jazz.

Decently portable and happy to recommend as providing a good starting point to build on.

    Thank you, it’s in amazing condition and super versatile due to the selector.

    The Behringer AD121 pre amp/modeller is maybe an obvious choice for dipping your toe in the water. Useful bit of kit, and worth the £22 new price for the DI capability alone. A friend uses one to bring his electro acoustic to life, and it works very well. Regarding amps, Fishman have a good range although if you keep a watch on the small ads you can find some tidy s/h Trace Elliot acoustic combos for not a lot of dosh. Lots of features and well made, as you’d expect from TE. 😊

    These are really sensational sounding basses, and very versatile too. This one's a beauty, GLWTS/T !
  29. EliasMooseblaster started following Marshall Bluesbreaker II Overdrive Pedal (for guitar)
  30. EliasMooseblaster
    MARSHALL BB-2 Not to be confused with the original Bluesbreaker pedal, which was essentially a preamp-in-a-box - this is a dedicated, dual-mode overdrive pedal. "Boost" mode is a transparent-sounding clean boost, designed to push the front end of your amp harder, while "Blues" mode gives a much more shaped (and saturated!) tone, reminiscent of the original Bluesbreaker amps being dimed. I bought this pedal back in something like 2010. It was my main distortion effect for a while, and did a handful of gigs with me, but as I've experimented with new effects and different amps, I find myself using it less and less. I still have the original box and user's manual, which are a little worn in places (see pictures); the pedal itself is in excellent condition. Only one thing: the controls originally had black position indicators painted on them, which have mostly rubbed off over the years. Up to you whether you leave them as is, or paint some new ones on! Price includes postage to mainland UK. If you'd like it sent to a different country, drop me a PM. Open to sensible offers!

    We’re in a similar position, we get a lot of requests for long distance gigs but the finances don’t compute. Ironically we’ve gone shorter distance for 80% of the gigs and charged accordingly. As you know in our genre there’s a limited number of songs and we’ve found if you go a bit ‘left field’ it can fall flat…..the punters seem to want the same standards. So we try and limit it to one gig/yr or 2 max if pestered.

    An absolute bargain to be had by someone here - I bought this very recently off another Basschatter and so I am just selling it for what I paid but I could easily have added £100 to the price and it would still have been worth it I think. These have legendary status, and justifiably so! It’s a 3 channel EQ with parametric mids, a bright switch, a colour switch and also a knob to control the amount of colour (essentially a very sweet tube OD) there is also a boost mode but I haven’t really used it. There’s 1/4 out and also DI out, it does a beautiful clean sound - so fat and warm with amazing clarity, and in colour ‘mode’ you can have as much or little of the saturation as you want to dial in. If you already know what this is I don’t have to sell it to you - if you don’t then give them a Google and have a look at TalkBass etc and you’ll see how highly regarded they are. I wish I could keep it but I’m skint and having a bit of a cull! Comes with two brand new spare tubes too! Grab an absolute bargain - £55 shipped!
