Another pedal I’ve bought directly from David Koltai a little while back. Mothership Pigtronix MK1 , I’ve used it for a project but wasnt actually turned on all that much, infact there is marking on the pedal for that one song.. none the less, what goes on the board - stays on the board until theres no point carrying it.. RIght ? (no need to answer that ,, 🙈) and I find this pedal a little hard to let go I have to admit, but the cathartic process is good, so I plough through,, ! This beast is one of the very few that actually delivering on the synth side of things with a sound of its own ! When I mean synth , I mean an actual analogue sinewave(s) which you can blend along with your bass and further stomp boxes ! ! David has clearly thought this pedal through and through with all these features, including: - Sub out, - VCO, - Glides, - Whammy range, - Ring modulator, - Sinewaves shapes on off, - Sub octave (even on my 5er Lowest ! (I love this one when blend is off btw ! ) And so much more but mostly THE BLEND ! ! so your bass stays on the channel if you want to and you can tune the synth right up to it or harm it even ! - or completely kill it and just stay with a synth. I’ve yet to come across anything that can do half as much with a sound of its own ! If anything, I think David has created one of those outstanding pedals that further versions aren't really going to match the original. Its an early version as well. unit number 846. which I reckon will become collectors paradise soon enough. It wants your clean/preamp signal first. Or post comp. And if your active basses and battery are too low it would tell you go elsewhere for tracking. I've used it with passive pbass and Jbass and working beautifully ! Comes with a box and manual and a US type lead which i’d say is probably my only criticism of this unit, they could have come up with a better lead, but thats that I guess, it works and you can find replacements. I took it for a service to be done by Koltai team as well in 2022. I really dont know how to price this,, None available in the UK and from my research so far, combining ebay and reverb etc, items only available internationally. So £265 seems like a reasonable BC deal for this unit, inc box and manual etc. My initial reaction was £290 but ive deducted points on the power lead, its working perfectly fine , but still I can imagine you might want to replace this at some point and they cost about £12ish or so. Price: £265. seems fair considering whats out there, the overall condition and box.(saw a japanese dude selling it for £650.) Condition: Very Good. Includes: Original box, manual original power supply. Collection: Brighton or London. or can post within the UK (tracked and insured, at your expense.(will be heading upnorth 23/24/25/ August so can meet along M1/M6. Meet along the way or outside Manchester or nearby cities.) Feel free to ask any questions, Thanks, -
There is among some on BC a tendency to think of anything that's not root'n'fifth (or at most, on the mellow side of McCartney) to be showing off and not proper bass playing. So most of jazz, anything with slap'n'tap or excess widdle gets dismissed as "unmusical showboating" - which completely ignores the fact that you have to have a hint of show-offery just to get on stage and play any music, never mind the classical concept of the cadenza or solos in jazz or even (God forbid!) in rock! BTW, not saying that's you - I agree with what you're saying... -

Is it the white ovation Magnum that’s taunting me even though it’s a train wreck?

With that sort of budget the world is your oyster so get down to some bass specific shops and try a few, if you're lucky you might come across a used MTD 535 via private sale although they rarely sneak below £3k. As mentioned strings are important, hard to gauge (see what I did there?) how good the bass is with a poor string choice.

I don’t know about you, but I’m enjoying the descriptions as much as the fascinating collection… -
I'm not sure I'm thinking of it dismissively when I call something showboating - a lot of interesting and very accomplished musicians will bring out an element of showboating when it helps get things across to their audience. I mean that little "hey, get this" presentation of something obviously tricky. I think it *can* be done in a good natured way that doesn't take away subtler properties of the music, but to pull that off you have to have self-confidence and the ability to back it up, as well as making sure it's not the whole of what you have to offer. -
In my mind at least, there's a difference between levelling and polishing.

Unfortunately, it's not available at the moment because it would be necessary to do some research first to figure out whether a standard PEEK fingerboard would resist the string tension sufficiently. And, if not, what thickness would. I'm talking to my fabricator about getting the phenowood fingerboard on my Vigier 5, which is truss rodless and pre-curved, replaced with PEEK. Perhaps after this point I will be in a better position to know whether PEEK will be stiff enough for truss rodless necks.

Open to a sensible offer on this. -
I've done a thing! - Product page link: https://www.emgpickups.com/bass/whats-new-bass.html I would be most grateful if you'd kindly watch my lil 1 minute video, like, share, add a nice positive comment and sub to my little channel - that gets lost in all of the "pick me influencer" videos that make up 14 pages of rants on Basschat 🤣😂🤣. @DanVeallBassist Presents: EMG Pickups' new E-Series Pickups feature the commonly used slim soapbar cap design.

And replied, thanks. I should have said in the first place that I'm looking for sale only at the moment as I'm pretty set on my gigging pedalboard and it looks like I'll be gigging a lot less on bass in future. -

I've seen a LOT of people do this. -
Well damn, that sounds monstrous even without knowing what the low B sounds like. Definitely something I will be pondering but I'm not in a position to much else for the moment I'm afraid. -
Resurrection this thread and I’m using the LM IV and it definitely works for classic and modern rock. The old school control allows warmth and vintage feel I think they pair well with their own cabs as the EQ frequencies are different to other brands Playing a PBass with a pick with mine and it sounds good Previously I’ve used Ashdown and Ampeg and it’s definitely as good if you want your actual bass tone to shine
-
Would love a torzal and would get that off you in an instant if only they hadn't forgotten the B string
-
If only I didn't need a new cabinet first....nice amp.. Best of luck with the sale.
