Dearmond Starfire Bass, Cherry red, good condition, with Guild hard case. I bought this used a while back. It’s in lovely condition, sounds and plays great. But after living with it for a while I find the string spacing a little narrow for my old timer fat Fender fingers. I’m culling my over bloated bass collection, so basses that don’t get played much are the first to go. It’s fitted with chrome Gretsch volume and tone controls. Collection in person preferred, but can ship at buyers expense (to be assessed). Please PM with any questions. Cheers!

Just saw an L2 in very good condition. It looks fun, if not funny, but I did not have to buy it. Well, the price was also steep, £4300. I remember the time when it came out and it was something special. It still is, and I wonder when will we get something similar in terms of invention.

The Ibanez Mikro was my choice after trying a few shorties and I love it. I changed the strings to flats because I like that sound, otherwise it's perfect. I bought mine from Amazon with next day delivery and free returns: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ibanez-GSRM20-MiKro-Electric-Guitar/dp/B00YNJGBL6/ref=nav_signin?crid=1A7T2YZ6L695R&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.I0otZrhyHz_aDn61EVJYnWyfCbvDpotpKl4hQchOtJOZwLBHR75NoRC71QBJpx69VNHixH3gUPaJ2VVElMFCe9Ed7pq2YgrjQNIS8UZoAm63xrPuweL8M6Zls3G7l4jzzF8bHSTzD-7IlEZua35iltLZ5OA44in0F-2FWwUhDtfY2xwJOgiVZfCaUdLj3jFsq3KhMpLg8vBr10_KFtykt7EBNrpz4ON8mli5d6O38wyUdyvIayJxLpCNz4au0IZmwliDkW6nXdlchaiYD5E-O_JBO7ZCjNKihoB3jWFUBqo.1jVasVGFw1IDnVCWudZCLu0Y0K-Bqrn39Mkst6vBbcA&dib_tag=se&keywords=ibanez%2Bmikro%2Bbass&qid=1757513174&sprefix=the%2BIbanez%2BMikro%2Caps%2C103&sr=8-1&th=1

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.

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.

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.

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).

Post your pedal board - Basschat style!!
pantherairsoft replied to dudewheresmybass's topic in Effects
Second rehearsal with the new live electronica project coming this week. Session one was an eye opener for the overall sound I need and it’s let me cut the board back quite a lot… way too much stuff that got in the way of the keys. For the first time in ages I’ve put the PT Jr Max aside and downsized to a PT Classic 1. I expect a pedal or two to get swapped about over coming weeks, but the core feels solid. Worth noting that at no point during this do I have a clean bass tone. The OC2 is always on as a minimum. -

Boss WL-50 £100 posted
Paul S posted a topic in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale
Boss WL-50. Performed for every gig and rehearsal without a glitch for 5 or more years until I switched to the Legato bugs. No box but here's the Boss page: https://www.boss.info/global/products/wl-50/ These are just shy of £200 new, I'm asking £100 posted to UK mainland. Alternatively try before you buy in Benfleet, Essex.-

I think if I wanted a pointyhead 80s hair-metal bass, I'd find a real pointyhead 80s hair-metal bass. It wouldn't be £1400, it would almost certainly be MIJ, not Indonesian, and it would probably have one of those amazing multicoloured crackle finishes. That said, I didn't want one back when they were current & I certainly don't want one now. Not sure who the target market for stuff like this is in 2025, tbh.

I just found one. I am in the US, so we don't see many of these at all. An identical version of yours popped up and I was lucky enough to have the seller ship it over seas to me. I will be waiting a while for it.. Looks like a really nice bass

If played avoiding overuse of vibrato and not sliding into every note, most people won’t notice. Listen to Boz Burrell on the first 2 Bad Co albums, there are clues to the use of fretless, but they are very, very subtle and if you don’t know what to listen for, they’re easy missed.

I absolutely agree with spending time with it when you can but if you just need a basic tone stick the noble DI model in and whatever drives you’d want and it’ll sound spot on. I went into my first gig blind when it first came out and it sounded great. Most of the blocks sound good as soon as you load them up which I suppose is the advantage of a bass specific unit

Interested in this because I dropped my bass (Shen SB100 ply) off in Toronto for some bridge work and maybe some fingerboard dressing. The luthier thinks that the dull sound is probably due to several problems but will check the sound post first, he thinks it is too tight and won't allow the top to vibrate properly. He was a Shen dealer and was surprised at the dull sound considering that the bass was strung with 2 year old Spiro mittels, I'll report after I get it back next week.

Dingwall Combustion 5, Vintage Burst. Excellent condition, with Dingwall gig bag. I bought this from fellow BC’er kwmlondon earlier this year after seeing my hero Leland Sklar play in London last January, which caused me to become somewhat “multiscale curious”. Sadly, after playing parallel fretted basses professionally for well over 40 years I have found adapting to the fanned frets not as straightforward as I would have hoped. This really is a great sounding and versatile instrument, so rather than putting it away in my guitar cupboard I have decided to move it on to someone a bit more adaptable. I have only used it at home and on one gig so it is pretty much in almost perfect condition. It also comes with 2 alternative scratch plates (black & clear), as well as the tort plate fitted currently. Additionally, the previous owner managed to get Sheldon Dingwall to sign the back of the headstock! (See pic). Collection in person is preferred, but I can ship at buyers expense to the UK only (cost to be assessed). Please PM with any questions.

Maybe I just don't have the GAS gene. Then again I still have/use the first electric I ever bought as a teenager in 1983 which freaked someone out on a different thread. The wife jokes are pretty funny though. (I assume they're jokes??) Mine built me a storage rack for the instruments that I do own. I can't believe I never thought for that. It's great!
