  1. Past hour
  2. Hi everyone, It seems my Boss Gt1B has died (I haven't ruled out it being fixed, it could be simple, but - GAS . . .) and I'm considering what to replace it with. When I was in a Madonna cover band I needed lots of synth-type sounds that I could (almost) replicate on the Boss multi, but it did have limitations of effects blocks. I'm now playing in a rock-ish band that doesn't need much more than a bit of valve-like grit. I would like (but don't really need right now, but who knows into the future) octave, filter, some modulation, fuzz, and delays/reverbs - basically all multi effects' lists. I feel like I could get away right now with a valve pre/DI that wouldn't have to be actually valve based. Oh, and my budget is tiny to not really existent! My one big question is how do people manage single pedals when you need different sounds out of the pedal within or between songs? I built patches for each song on the Boss and then just flicked through them at will. How do players manage a complicated pedalboard with multiple sound changes live?
  3. If it’s of interest, the bass is 90cm long and 24cm wide!
  4. Thanks man, appreciated. I think between us we’ve created a balance given your (really pro sounding) track represents probe anxiety 😊
  5. Markbass Mini CMD 121P It’s an Italian made one and had been used for gigs and rehearsals regularly. A bit OTT for a practice amp as it’s really loud for its size but that’s what I’ve been using it for recently. It has the older - and in my view more practical - LMII preamp. Very good condition, some signs of use and slight bobbling to the carpet covering. It has been gigged with PA support and has not been pushed hard by me in rehearsals. Pickup preferred but I’ll post at buyer’s cost in the UK only. No trades. From Markbass - Our flagship combo has changed the bass amp market forever. Never have bassists been able to get such great tone and volume from such a light and portable amp. Easily upgrades to a 500W rig with the addition of a New York 121 cabinet. SPEAKER 1×12″ TWEETER piezo BASS REFLEX rear IMPEDANCE 8 ohms SPEAKER POWER HANDLING 400W RMS (AES Standard) AMP OUTPUT POWER 500W RMS @ 4 ohms / 300W RMS @ 8 ohms PREAMP solid state WEIGHT 14.4kgs WIDTH 14.96 in. / 38 cm HEIGHT 16.73 in. / 42.5 cm DEPTH 14.17 in. / 36 cm
  6. J'arrive! Bit late to be much help (that bridge will work fine!) but do post more & detailed pics. Not familiar with this design of Twincaster & it's got some details (pickups, for a start) I wouldn't expect to see on an Antoria.
  7. ZOOM MULTISTOMP MS-60B ITEM IS AS NEW NEVER BEEN GIGGED . Powered by 2 x AA batteries (included) or 9v DC power supply (not included) I don’t have the original box or manual but will be securely packaged for shipping The manual is available to download online. RRP is now £129 grab a bargain £75 inc postage to uk mainland The MS-60B's intuitive design allows easy navigation in both live and studio settings and makes creating, saving, and rearranging effects a breeze. Its input jack accepts signal from both passive and active guitars, and dual line-level output jacks enable you to record the MS-60B's many sounds in stereo. You can use up to 4 effects simultaneously and arrange them in any order you like—even bring individual effects in and out of the chain as desired. There are 50 patch memories where you can store your custom edited and chained multi-effects, with the first 30 pre-loaded with useful factory settings. An Auto Save function ensures that whatever edits you make will automatically be saved, and you can create a list of up to 26 patches to cycle through as you step on the MS-60B footswitch—handy for live gigs or whenever you want your effects in a certain order. The onboard chromatic tuner supports both standard and drop bass tunings, and you can opt to either bypass all effects during tuning or to mute the outputs so that you can tune in silence. Last but not least, the MS-60B's Tap Tempo feature allows you to to set delay times and modulation effect frequencies in real time to the rhythm of the song you're playing. 1 Pedal, 58 Great Bass Effects Cut down the size of your pedalboard by adding an MS-60B. It offers 58 great-sounding ways to craft the perfect bass tone. For ease of use, these are organized into the following categories: Dynamics / Filter Shape and control your low end with these 19 different compressors, limiters, equalizers, filters, exciters, and frequency splitters, plus Zoom's Noise Reduction (ZNR) algorithm, designed to remove noise during pauses while still maintaining your instrument's natural tone. Other options here include a bass frequency-specific AutoWah and "talking" modulator, as well as emulations of the MXR DynaComp, Aphex Punch Factory, dbx 160A, BBE Sonic Maximizer, Q-Tron Envelope Filter, Moog MF-101, and Z. Vex Seek-Wah. Overdrive / Distortion The MS-60B's 11 boosters, overdrives, and direct inject / preamp models include simulations of the BOSS ODB-3, DS-1, and Metal Zone, as well as the Electro-Harmonix Bass Big Muff, SansAmp Bass Driver DI, MXR Bass D.I.+, Xotic Bass BB Preamp, and Avalon Design U5. Amp The 6 amp models provided here include emulations of classic tube amplifiers like the Ampeg SVT and Fender Bassman, as well as the contemporary sounds of the Hartke HA3500, acoustic 360, Aguilar DB750, and Italian Markbass Little Mark III, each with its own distinct cabinet modeling that can be used to further alter the tonal quality. What's more, you can pair any amp model to any cabinet model for unusual, and often striking effects. Modulation / Special effects You'll find 14 different modulation and special effects here, all specially crafted for bass. These include phasing, flanging, chorusing, tremolo, detuning, and pitch shifting, as well as a sub-octave generator and an intelligent bass synthesizer that plays along in key—even a DeFret effect that changes the tone of a fretted bass into that of a fretless. Delay / Reverb The MS-60B's cutting-edge DSP microchip performs 32-bit floating-point calculations, giving it the ability to create sophisticated studio-quality effects such as the 8 rich, dense reverbs, and realistic spatial simulations found here. These allow you to place your bass in natural-sounding spaces such as rooms and halls or to add delays of up to 4 seconds. Also included is slap-back echo and a reverb plate emulation, as well as reverse, modulated, and self-oscillating delays.
  8. Oh yes, morally wrong on every level.
  9. What Behringer haters? The X-Air series are much loved on BC.
  10. Ha, missed that, a common theme in this thread it appears
  11. ....and even given that, installing a Jazz(-esque) ashtray on a Precision is rather poor form 👍
  12. Even though this is probably a Squier PJ from factory I'd always be wary of a PJ with the bridge cover on, that piece of metal could be hiding some hideous amateur routing.
  13. Putting jazz bass ashtrays on a bon-jazz bass is an abomination. I cannot stand it when I see these. Otherwise, bass looks alright, because of unknown origins etc. I wouldn't pay more for that than the price of a new fretless Harley Benton
  14. Guess who missed the word “like” 🤦‍♂️😂
  15. Selling my SVT-CL, glorious sounding amp but I haven't needed to use it much over the past year. All works flawlessly and come with a cover (has a lot of marks on it) This has a few knock marks which I've tried to show in the pictures but nothing that affects performance. it is nearly 20 years old. This is a US Built one and the serial number puts it at Feb 2007 which would make it one of the last ones built in the US before manufacturing moved. Collection only as this is a heavy bit of iron with valves! Collection from Sandy, Bedfordshire. £850

  16. *Checks map* ... Yep, Bedfordshire is still a long old way from Plymouth. ... *Sad face*
  17. I don't remember a furry feeling when I tried new basses in shops that had PF fretboards. Or maybe just didn't notice it.
  18. I think the sweet spot for a combo is to be loud enough for personal monitoring and small/light enough for one hand carry. Otherwise, what's the point? As such, I love my Eic BC112pro. The tilt back stand makes it super useful on bigger stages where there's a good PA. Interested to know what you think it's missing. it suits me very well, with EQ all neutral; the 'taste' control is all I use.
  19. Hence the "Tony Franklin like" ...
  20. Talking about this has stirred my memory. I HAVE tried one,it was in Bassbros. The fact that I'd completely forgotten about it may speak for itself.
  21. My current combo is a bit of a rare beast in that is an Ashdown ABM Neo 400w 1x15 combo. I find it covers most of my gigs with support from the PA. It lives in its flightcase which rather negates the ‘Neo’ or lightweight bit of its name, but makes it super road friendly. I am dreading having to replace it, but my candidates would include the EBS Magni 210, and the humble but well loved Fender Rumble 500 or 800.
  22. Good spot and clearly the headstock has also been changed as its different to the picture 🤣
  23. I think its a very smart looking bass and as a fretless player then this sparks my interest. I actually really like the colour as well.
  24. Clearly a Gibson... it says so!
