  1. Past hour
  2. Thomastic rounds received, love em, thanks for the fast postage and smooth transaction. Cheers Handman
  3. Exactly what a 60’s bass should look like 👍
  4. Hi all, I bought this on here in July 2024 to use on an upcoming tour, then decided on two separate signal chains (upright and electric) instead of using this as an A/B box. It has sat in a drawer in its pouch ever since, so is immaculate, and has probably only had a few hours use by me. It’s essentially the same pedal as the Basswitch DI (more well known to us electric bassists) but with a couple different features, namely a notch filter, and the ability to mix both inputs (for those using mic and pickup on their upright). It’s mainly aimed at upright players, hence the name and variation from the Basswitch, but it’s a lovely and very capable electric bass preamp, and has 2 effects loops, and a DI out. A real swiss army knife utility pedal. Perfect for running 2 instruments into a common signal chain and sending a single DI out. Comes with velcro attached (can take off if needed), it’s detachable rubber feet, and its protective pouch. Looking for what I paid for it - £150 + postage, or can be picked up from UB10, London.
  5. I'd say higher for the Stingray Specials, as they seemed to correct the 40 year old 'weak G' problem. I believe those instruments from 2018 onwards to be far superior.
  6. If only...glwts.
  7. Ian bought a pedal from me. Quick payment and overall just an easy transaction! Thanks again!
  8. It very much depends on what vintage you’re looking for @Supernaut. To some degree the spec is also a factor. H, HS, HH, Piezo, SLO, Ltd Ed etc
  9. I've been using the La Bella IAH version of the Super Polished on my Lionel and they are very nearly perfect but I'd like just a smidge more tension for the short scale. So I've ordered some of the original Super Polished as the tensions are a little higher. I've no doubt their tension would be too much for me on 34 scale (the IAH are pushing it) but hopefully this will work! With a bit of luck the strings will arrive before the weekend.
  10. It doesn't seem so long ago that £800 was the going rate for a pukka full fat USA Stingray and you could pick one up on BC most weeks... I said 'seems'! I'd be surprised if there are many around as cheap as £1200 and I'd expect a regular/non-special to be closer to £1500.
  11. What? No one can offer me any advice?
  12. FWIW: I paid 1500 for a 2013 Classic 2eq last week. Good but not perfect condition Actually the best sounding Stingray i've ever had IMO
  13. Thanks dude. I'm coming to the conclusion that it would be enough for me. There seem to be enough people using both the older and new versions with good results. There is a similar discussion on TalkBass right now, and one guy is gigging the N300 and reckons it is more powerful than the older version because of the more conventional eq controls, as much as the extra 50 watts.
  14. Cheers! Yeah, if I were still gigging regularly, I'd be clinging on to this amp. But I'll be keeping my Little B*ast*rd 30 for recording - probably my joint favourite with the CTM-100! - so I can't really justify keeping both of them.
  15. MARSHALL BB-2 Not to be confused with the original Bluesbreaker pedal, which was essentially a preamp-in-a-box - this is a dedicated, dual-mode overdrive pedal. "Boost" mode is a transparent-sounding clean boost, designed to push the front end of your amp harder, while "Blues" mode gives a much more shaped (and saturated!) tone, reminiscent of the original Bluesbreaker amps being dimed. I bought this pedal back in something like 2010. It was my main distortion effect for a while, and did a handful of gigs with me, but as I've experimented with new effects and different amps, I find myself using it less and less. I still have the original box and user's manual, which are a little worn in places (see pictures); the pedal itself is in excellent condition. Only one thing: the controls originally had black position indicators painted on them, which have mostly rubbed off over the years. Up to you whether you leave them as is, or paint some new ones on! Price includes postage to mainland UK. If you'd like it sent to a different country, drop me a PM. Open to sensible offers!
  16. They sound quite nice as well. I've had zero chance to wind them up due to various things, it'll probably be the weekend before I can try.
  17. I am suspicious that the US Specials will go up, and the mids will get all the really heavy wood that nobody wants, especially as the Specials are now close to the same weight as the old versions. So much for the new "lightweight redesign" they started with.
  18. Thank you, yes it's a lovely bass
  19. Heights are definitely a different sport for passives rather than EMG. EMG have very low magnet pull and the recommendation is to get them as close to the string as possible - mine are barely 3mm. Just enough clearance so when playing something on the 22nd fret the string doesn't foul on the pickup. That definitely doesn't work with magnets in passive pickups.
  20. Take A Long Line - The Angels
  21. I don't think my guy wants to do it which is why I'm prepared to have a go myself. The bass is pretty worthless as it is
  22. Great video but it's a thru neck
  23. Thank you. Very entertaining analogy and a great read !😂
  24. They look excellent Rob.
  25. Will sell for £349 without the spare Tung Sol tube if desired. So just the Tung Sol in the pedal and the Sovtek.
