Beautifully crafted delay pedal from Walrus Audio, tactile, with a really intuitive control set … feature rich, but simple to use. It’s a piece of kit that invites creativity. Works very well with bass guitar. No mud at all. The quality in this pedal is obvious to the ear … But hey, there are many fine words about the Arp87 around internetland if you do some trawling.

It’s a thick, gnarly, and harmonically rich fuzz … Based on the Tall Font Green Russian/ Civil War Muff circuit … So strong with that mix friendly mid character, and retaining the low end that makes this particular Muff so bass-friendly. This one is indeed bass friendly. There’s something more to this pedal though. The secret sauce is in the tone sweep. As DBA put it … “A specially designed multi-curve shaping filter which changes the timbre of the pedal from super deep bass sludge to screaming highs”. This makes for something more versatile than your average 3-knob Muff, sure. It’s killler. Plenty love for it out there anyway. Check the reviews.

If you like drones, long, Indefinitely held notes or passages, to sculpt, build and move between layers, morph ambient textures … in their own right, to solo over, or to underpin a multi layer bass part … Then one of these is worth looking at. It does everything the Freeze does, but so much more. Most notable for me was its own effects loop, and the possibilities for signal chain placement and the potentially endlessly added depths to the frozen effect that the loop affords, whilst keeping your realtime bass licks otherwise unaffected, if so desired. The options and degree of functionality are wild. It’s an extremely versatile and powerful creative tool that opens a world of musical possibilities. Check out the YouTube bass demos, and EHX product info … It’s deep. I must say … I love this pedal, and wouldn’t be selling it had I not recently acquired a Superego + Royal Mail ‘Signed For’ postage is included in price (UK only).

One of the harder to find pedals from the increasingly collectible 7 Series Tonelok range. It’s an excellent phaser for bass, with a wide array of control options that allow you to the scope to craft a useable mix-friendly phase tone. The effect operates at unity, with no lift nor drop in volume, and no loss of low end whatsoever. Though fundamentally a phaser, the PM7’s modulation capabilities can extend to territories way beyond the norm. The control set achieves the following … Speed: adjusts the speed of the vibrations. They become faster the more this is turned to the right. Depth: adjusts the depth of the vibrations. They become deeper the more this is turned to the right. Manual: Adjusts the level of the phase-shifted tone. The level is increased and the effect strengthened the more this is turned to the right. Feedback: Adjusts the amount of feedback. Turning this to the right applies normal-phase feedback, and turning it to the left applies inverted-phase feedback. In either case, the sound will become more distinctive. Mode 1/2/3: Selects from three types of phases … - 4-stage phaser with invertedphase mix. Vintage sound. - 6-stage phaser with invertedphase mix. Deep phasing sound. - 6-stage phaser with normal-phasemix. Deep phasing sound. Waveform: Selects the modulation waveform (the "shape" of modulation). - Triangle wave: Produces conventional phaser sounds. - Square wave. Produces step-sequencer-like sounds. - High-frequency wave. Produces sounds like a ring modulator or FM synthesizer. The Ibanez 7 Series pedals are the bomb. The Maxon engineers were thinking outside the box, to be sure. Have a listen to the opinion of Josh Scott (JHS) about this. Royal Mail ‘Signed For’ postage is included in price (UK only).

I've always found the original, through-neck Thumb to be a lovely looking beast and have done since I first saw one back in the early 90s. The bolt-on version, like in this image, is a funny looking thing though. I wonder why they couldn't exactly recreate the body shape in bolt-on form?

If I can get a sound close to "that" preset on the MXR synth pedal, I'd be happy to use it as a one-sound-pedal.

Here are some pedals I haven't used recently. All have been well looked after and come with free velcro. Add £10 to the prices below for Royal Mail Special Delivery. Source Audio Atlas Compressor - £150 - very good condition. High quality and extremely versatile compressor. Use the Neuro software to access all options. Comes with original box, power supply and what I assume is some sort of controller cable I've never used. Atlas Blurb Source Audio Gemini Chorus - £70 - very good condition. Powerful chorus pedal, infinitely customisable using the Neuro software. No box with this one, or anything else. Gemini Blurb Boss LS2 Line Selector - £60 - good condition, couple of little nicks in the paint. You know what this is, really useful utility pedal with loads of potential applications. Comes with original box. Korg Pitchblack - £20 - good condition, a few little scratches on the sides. This is the old style one, nothing exciting about it but works a treat. No box with this one, or anything else.

Electronic backing track in a Spanish holiday 'Volare' sense...I didn't paint a clear enough depiction. You can imagine Sweet Caroline in that context. Song book chords, root note bass, perfunctory drums. Grim

Latest iteration of the Heartwood Satellite: I can’t help but tinker. It’s now got a DiMarzio DP145 Will Power humbucker in it with a coil tap switch. I think it looks the part and sounds huge.

Mark G just confirmed on FB that there's going to be a gig bag coming. So that's cool.

Well folks, thanks to all the advice, I have done it and I am inordinately pleased with my work. I actually cut the main shape out with a power jig saw that has a scroll setting so that you can change the direction of the blade. I marked the shape out on the reverse of the blank using the original scratch guard and pre-drilled the screw holes so I could attach the blank to a sheet of 10mm ply before cutting. Cutting out the aperture for the pickup was a little tricky but I eventually used a bi-metallic blade on an oscillating multi-tool to get the straight lines. Once I had the basic shape I used an assortment of files and sandpaper to get it more uniform and put the 45 degree chamfer on the edges. The end result:

Yep our baseline volume is our drummer ! Everything is balanced to him and he isn’t light handed !

We've played quite a few places that have what looks like a vocal-only PA and it's always been fine. We're just a bit quieter than we would be normally. Also even it's a vocal only PA there's still at least one foldback wedge, and the one time there was no foldback we simply angled one of the main PA speakers towards us It probably helps that we don't have a drummer as this (and any additional synth parts) are supplied by the computer

Which FI model do you have? Up to and including v3 can be problematic with cheap interfaces. V4 has worked with every cheap interface I’ve used. The data packet sizes were made deliberately smaller to ensure this.

Gregor in the Bass the World video said that the Satellite bass would look really good with a big humbucker in place of the precision pickup set. I guess he thought more in keeping with the 60s bass vibe. Anyway, that has been eating away at the back of my mind and I happened to have a DiMarzio DP145 Will Power in my last remaining long scale bass (a three pickup bitsa I put together). Long story short, I decided to try Gregor’s idea. It meant making a new scratchplate to accommodate the different pickup up shape, which was a challenge but it’s done now. Result in the pictures below. I think it looks the business and it sounds immense without being too muddy. I wired it up with a DPDT switch to give a coil tap option. Tapped it sounds a bit like a Jazz front pickup but not quite as woody. I’m pleased with the result. I may leave it this way.

I recently bought a brand new Chord 2u rackbag (cost about £55 IIRC), but I don't need it now and could do with getting out of the house. I'm not going to post it, but if anybody wants to pick it up from north Bradford, they can have it for free.

I spent most of the three years I was a student in or around Denmark Street in the mid 80s. I went back a few years ago and was disappointed by how it is now. -
Bass Wielder started following J- Retro 01 preamp from John East (with possible extras)

UK POST INCLUDED. A great pre-amp in great condition from one of the best in the business specifically for Jazz Style basses. Look online for specs/reviews. Comes with your choice of stacked knobs (chrome, black or gold). Extras possible at £8 each complete set (of any colour). (ie: You can have all three sets if preferred). Picks don’t show 9v tab as I used it in replacing (but should have one somewhere, I will wire in if found). An easy DIY job to wire this pre-amp.

I like the idea of taking a classic crowd pleaser and doing something different with it, which is what I thought you were going to say when I read '... electronic backing track ...' . My mate's band does a version of 'Love Story', the Taylor Swift song. All they've done is take out all the subtlety, rocked it up and made it loud. Personally, I think it's their best song, and it still gets a decent crowd reaction.
