Evening, Selling some pedals I don’t use anymore. First is an Aguilar Tonehammer Preamp, it’s great, great condition and boxed. £150 posted Then a Solidgold FX Aurras, AURRAS OPTICAL VIBRAPHASE The Aurras Optical Vibraphase—a powerful effects pedal named after the goddess of sound, meets the legacy of its predecessor the Athena Vibraphase in a harmonious blend of legendary, vintage Uni-Vibe textures and innovative, modern prowess. FEATURES: 100% analog audio path from input to output. 2-stage asymmetric phase shifter built around a pair of selected and individually controlled opto-isolators. Dry Mix for tones and textures ranging from soft Vibrato to lush Uni-Vibe like sounds. Dual LFO setup powered by a microprocessor, providing limitless sonic flexibility. LFO Frequency and Phase Offset modes for increased versatility. The Frequency Offset adds rhythmic patterns by slowing down the second LFO, while the Phase Offset fine-tunes the throb by introducing asymmetry between the LFOs. Soft-touch relay-based true bypass switching, on-board tap tempo and speed ramping, expression pedal input. £150 posted -
Bought this December 2023 with the intention of having a smaller bass to noodle on around the house and take to small gigs but I never really bonded with it. It’s a brilliant little bass that’s really well made and sounds great but I could just never really get on with the size, taking this as a sign that short scales just aren’t for me! I paid around £350 for the bass and £110 for the hard case so listing both for around £270. There’s a small scratch/chip/mark on the lower horn that I’ve tried to photograph best I can. Collection from Portsmouth or happy to meet within a reasonable distance, would prefer to avoid posting if possible. Cheers!-

Only bought this a couple of weeks ago from another Basschat member, given it a run out at a couple of rehearsals but just isn’t my kind of sound so I’m listing it back up for what I paid for it. Rat based distortion with bass and treble eq controls, can do the lower gain thing but really shows what it can do at higher gain sounds. Price includes postage in the UK, cheers! -
Folks, now is probably a good time to announce that due to unforseen circumstances, the release of my fantastic new song, "Bernadette", has been delayed -
Currently for the Revolt & HX One. I have a Source Audio midi adapter ordered to link the Atlas. This is my 1st venture into midi. It's a steep learning curve for me but the Morningstar software is pretty good 👍

The new headstock is a vast improvement. I tend to keep my opinions on headstocks to myself as its how brands identify their products and to a lesser degree to do with the playability or tone of the instrument, however, eeeeeesh there's some munter headstocks out there lol..
-
Thank you Mr. R. If it sells I’m sure I will be just as devastated as when I sold my last AVRI P Bass, but as I’m only noodling in my dotage it seems a bit extravagant to hang on to it - especially when the MOT on my jalopy is due next month😟😟🙏🙏🙈🙈! -
Back in 2011, I went to a Hartke masterclass with David Ellefson and Frank Bello, I ended up doing my first ever interview with both of them (Frank live on stage, so, no pressure) for a worldwide guitar magazine video and that's pretty much where it all started for me! So, you never quite know what you'll get! I've been to a good few masterclasses/clinics over the years. Some, you sit, listen and enjoy, others there's more participation offered. The inevitable Q&A session is in there and there might be a break out time to look at the gear and talk directly to the players. (This is especially important if a brand is supporting the masterclass and have a whole pile of products out for all to look at as well). Of those, tehre's never been an expectation to take your instrument, unless it has been specifcally billed as such. My favourite clinics have included Paul Gilbert, Doug Wimbish (another interview I've done), Andy James, my ole guitarist who now plays for Five Finger Death Punch, Brian May and, for nostalgia Geoff Whitehorn and the late, great Keith More, both flanking a wall of stacks in the Marshall Roadshows. Oh and Dave n' Frank, legends.

Fantastic and practical little pedal this - massively boosts your volume and immediately creates a slap tone via a mid scoop and low & high end boost - works really well. This is used but in excellent condition and comes with original 12v power supply - tiny too so will squee onto most pedal boards no problem! Official blurb below: The MB Mini series of pedals from Markbass is made to the same high quality level as our standard effect line, but uses an ultra-compact, lightweight chassis. Smaller than other stompboxes, these incredible-sounding pedals will fit onto even the most crowded pedal boards, and the 9-12V power requirement means you can use them with any standard power supply. Give your pedalboard a “boost” with the MB Mini Boost—which also features our Variable Preshape Filter (boosts lows and highs, and cuts mids). Input: mono ¼” jack Input impedance: 1 Mohm / 6 Vpp Output: mono ¼” jack Output impedance: 470 ohm / 6 Vpp Boost Gain Level: from 0 to +20 dB Power requirements: DC Input +9/+12VDC* Dimensions: 48.4 x 38.2 x 105.2 mm / 3.23” x 1.5” x 4.92” Weight: 0.51 lbs / 230 gr * 12VDC power supply included -
I was struck by the plagiarism accusations... the modern slavery element became apparent later. -
Ian said it to me more about the balance of the headstock actually. However, it's a valid point that people like Fenders. For all my time playing I've never owned a bass that was 3+1 until this. It is curious. I believe the 21 and 22 fret necks require the right heel and there's no overhang like say if you buy a Warmoth 21 or 24 fret neck with the fretboard overhang. It's worth saying that their own instruments now have the revised headstock instead of the square one which was a bit awful.

Hey JazzyJ, what are you using the Morningstar controller for if you don’t mind me asking please?
-
The Foto-Flame finish is thick, heavy, and once it starts to come off is going to carry one. This is not relicing, this is like old lino peeling off a kitchen floor. I've stripped two of them and both times the grain on the body was non existent so they do not take a clear finish unless bland is your thing. I think you need to ensure there's no residue from the chems in the FF before you start applying a new finish 👍

Just trying to pass on bargains to other BC members. These strings won't take months to arrive either. 😉 -
I quite like it how it is - it looks well played, but if you want to refinish it, great Bear in mind that you may lose a little of the body resonance with a new coat of paint and poly gloss lacquer.

Apologies up front for not having read all 15 previous pages, but which far eastern workshop/maker produces the Metro Express for Sadowsky?
-
Ditto.... I just keep looking at this and remembering what I was like drooling over this exact model 25yrs ago. It's simply stunning (and it's practically being given away at that price). -
Thoughts on one-off bass masterclass sessions?

I went to a Marcus Miller one a few years back. Incredible experience! My advice would be go, listen, learn, and if you have a question ask it. I wouldn't say I learned anything in particular but I came away incredibly inspired. -
That’s a beauty mr d 👌 -
-
LMAO. Yup, Facebook. Has to be genuine. 😂
-
Yep. I’m not going to look into this band. Not interested going down that rabbit hole. -
Yet they won’t let me advertise my old iPhone on Marketplace - they insist it’s counterfeit! As if a pro counterfeiter would be bothered selling something for £40! Unbelieveable.

Fender Mustang PJ MIM A feeler and please remove if it’s in the wrong section or if spares/repairs isn’t acceptable. I’m selling this as a spares project although it is functional albeit not pretty. I bought it earlier this year. It looked water damaged and an absolute mess. I bought it for the body and hardware and pickup parts, the plan being to strip it and buy a new neck for it. The neck had a lot of lacquer cracks and splits around the trussrod veneer at the back and headstock fascia. It needed some rewiring and a new tone pot and all the hardware cleaning with a wire brush. The finish was lifting in lots of places but there were no obvious cracks in the body - I thought about stripping it and finishing it with Tru-oil but haven’t got round to it. When it arrived I thought it wasn’t as bad as I had expected so I cleaned it up. Did the work on the pots,etc. the pickups were fine. I watched a video of rescuing a neck in similar condition and had a bash using epoxy resin. So I tried that and clamped it for a few days and gave it a light sanding to make it feel smooth under the hand. I’m no luthier, I just did it for as an experiment for fun. To my surprise the neck was okay to play and the trussrod worked and adjusted as it ought to. I have actually rehearsed and gigged with it as a spare for my old Fender Musicmaster. The headstock fascia and back has lots of hairline splits in it that I filled with titebond and clamped. They’ve been fine but again I wouldn’t really trust it as a main gigging bass. I must emphasise it’s probably best described as a Fender Mustang body (genuinely Roadworn bass) with a free neck. It’s a fun beater as is or you could put some more work into it to make it into a nice project. You could put another neck on it (I had bought a Bronco neck that unfortunately didn’t materialise thanks to a dodgy courier). The parts are all pretty decent after cleaning. It weighs around 3.7kgs. Here are pics, I can post more if there is interest. The last pictures are when I got it. God knows what had happened to the poor thing! No trades I can post in the UK for around £20.
