    It doesn’t seem like they have improved on the biggest functional headache of the BDDI Programable- something I’m currently wrestling with- is the inability to understand the setting on any channel allowing you to either adjust it or add more/less of anything on the next channel. Yeah, I know the LED’s blink when your back in position, and the “lazy knob” feature slowly takes the parameter back rather than sudden jump in volume, for example. I think all Chanel’s sharing the same controls without any visual representation of what’s going on is just a poor design in this day and age

    1981 4001 BT with personal modifications. Its taken a while to get all the mods I wanted done and I still want to install a parallel/series switch (probably on a push/pull pot). But that can wait a while I think, I just want to enjoy it for now.

    Cool. Good to see companies listening and giving their fans what they want.

    2006 Squire Vintage Modified Precision Bass in Olympic White for sale - with some modifications to dress it up like a 70s P bass. I will include the Thomann gig bag with the sale. I have always wanted a 70s P, but as a mainly 5 string player I knew I wouldn't use it that much so I didn't want to commit too much cash to one. So, I found a Squire VM P bass in Olympic white which had a few dings online and then proceeded to create my own. Personally I think it looks great and it saddens me to sell it but I could do with a little cash injection right now. So, the main change is the headstock. The squire details were removed and sanded flat, some discolouration added to age the wood, a 70s decal added and then a vintage amber Nitro lacquer from NorthWest Guitars. I have flatted it back and flatted off the sheen from the back of the neck so it's nice and smooth. Aged string retainer and neck F plate was added (I always intended to add aged tuners and bridge but never got round to it.) Body - it had a few dinks here and there which have been added to (nothing major to be honest) and the bass still has the Seymore Duncan designed pickups, original bridge and tuners. The olympic white has aged and yellowed really nicely and the rosewood board is nice and dark. I know this won't be to everyone's taste but if you fancy a 70s P and don't fancy the price of one, this could be for you! I have included a picture of the original squire serial number for information. Not sure what else to add about the bass. It plays great and sounds just like a P should. The previous owner changed the wiring to cloth wiring and added an orange drop cap to the tone control. Any trial is welcome and I have packaging to post. Will look at quotes and happy to look at various options.

    Eh, I just fitted a Freeway 10 way switch to mine. I found this to be a very satisfactory (and very clever) way of opening up many more possiblities on the Triad.
  11. Al Krow
    Yup 😅 And I guess my point is that Tech 21 are famous for their analogue pedals; they've got a huge climb in the digital multi-fx space to match some excellent products already on the market, which are typically going to offer a lot more for the same price (Helix, Boss etc) or knock it into touch for value (e.g. Valeton etc). Just my tuppence worth.

    This bass no longer has a BA2 bridge, it sounds just as amazing with the standard bridge. Will consider a part trade for a sire V5 5 string or Yamaha BB1025/X and cash.
  13. krispn
    Ooh I stand corrected it has deep dive functionality. It's officially multi fx unit

    I've never really thought of it as 'hifi' and it seems to have a nice warm articulate sound, which you might think of as being 'tubey'. I am always using it in front of a hybrid amp on gigs, so it is difficult to say really. I have been told that it does sound great out front, when the DI is taken from the Caveman. The DI does work very well when used on gigs, but beyond that I'm afraid that this is all a bit above my paygrade!

    I didnt notice this bit before. Makes it a bit more interesting for me 'The MIDI interface enables deep editing of parameters for amplifiers, blendable IRs, effects and EQ. The IR section includes a SansAmp IR, a curated collection of modifiable IRs, the ability to custom blend them, as well as upload your favorite external IRs. Clear, uncomplicated graphics, and intuitive controls provide ease of use to achieve your desired tones.'

    Rarely available 2021 UK limited edition from Fender Japan. As it's a Ltd Ed it is relatively rare and has features not often found on other Fenders. Think Duff. Bargain price IMO. Sherwood Green Metallic 8lb 10 oz. Unusual 12 inch radius Rosewood fretboard, satin maple neck, microtilt. TBX pot has been removed & standard tone pot now fitted. Much better imo. Apologies for photos, I'm old and not tech. 1 tiny lacquer crack next to neck, 1 tiny dimple on top chamfer, both circled in yellow on photos. Anything else is reflections. Thinnest worst Fender "gigbag" ever. Collection from Darlington, however I may meet up within about 50 miles if buyer has good feedback. COURIER! UK ONLY, buyer to organise & pay for it. Other feedback also available. Thanks for looking,

    I saw that one earlier this week, stunning looking bass but I have bought too much recently.

    Realising that getting in the car and driving home as quickly as possible is the most important part of any gig, my minimalist fits in a pocket pedalboard got the nod last night

    Just watched a video on YT where the Reverend guys state that the Triad now comes with a push-pull knob for all three pickups, as well as neck and bridge. Might have been tempted by this but not crazy about the new colours for the four string.
  22. Killerfridge
    They were made by Yoshi Kikuchi, who originally founded Atelier Z and worked in Rogers shop. You might be thinking of the original MiJ MetroExpress

    What a lovely bass, and James is a great guy to deal with. Sadly I can't justify a 3rd USA Spector !! GLWTS

    Yamaha MG10XU mixer with mounting bracket for attaching to mic stand (see photo). Barely used. Original box. No trades thanks. Price includes shipping to locations within the UK. I took the photos myself and I am blind, so my apologies if they look like they were taken by a drunk person.
  26. acidbass
    Me too. I love a front-ported vertical 2x10. Can't hack the 40hz Bass control on Aggie gear tho. Way too low a frequency centre to be usable as anything other than a cut IMO.

    Set of rack mount bars for a GK RB amp. I haven’t owned a GK amp for several years but they would have come off of either a 1001RB II or a 700RB III as I owned both. The bars are complete with all parts including screws. No trades thanks. Price includes shipping to locations within the UK. I took the photos myself and I am blind, so my apologies if they look like they were taken by a drunk person.

    It's a good photo - it shows all the kit. And it's a lot of kit for the money! There is a whole thread on buying electric pianos here https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/520144-stage-pianos/page/3/ so there seems to be interest in such instruments on Basschat.

    I think what it is essentially is a programmable bass driver DI. It’s repackaged, now digital and they’ve stuck a couple of extra features from the fly rig. Might be a better choice for someone who likes the T21 brand/sound and wants a simple throw in the gig bag unit. Looks pretty easy to use over a multi fx, no menu diving, mobile phone apps and all the stuff folks here and on TB complain about with some of these multi fx units. Too much to get your head around and they then get let in a drawer for 2 yrs or you’ve got something with the processing power to fly a fleet of 1960’s spacecraft and mange the control room too! Perhaps just a T21 diehard wanting midi integration of that classic sound? It’s not being branded or sold as multi fx if I’m reading the website correctly it’s a BDDI with added features rather than a very poorly realised T21 multi fx unit. Oh and it looks cool as… big and chunky, black, sturdy casing. Plus brands need to keep ‘innovating’ cause we all love to talk about gear on here 🙂

    Do I have a signature sound? I do believe I do. It is the sound of a tepid pie being being flung against a sheet of plexiglass. Whether it's a passive P strung with flats, or the active Jazz with rounds, Bass VI, Aerodyne, Rick, Hofner violin or a semi-hollow bass, it is always the same soul crushing ill-defined thrum. Doesn't matter if it's through the big Trace rig, small TC combo, a borrowed amp, direct to the desk or through a myriad of effects it is always this way: it truly must be, as they say, all in the fingers. Apart from when I play with a pick - when it is, inexplicably, much the same. I hope this does not appear boastful to those still searching for their signature sound as it has taken many years of changes big and small to arrive at this lofty plateau. Weirdly, in the mix it always sounds ok. I am utterly convinced I hear with different ears when I'm playing versus when I'm listening back.
