  2. Mae as a box of frogs ,and a genius ! If anything he’ll inspire others when they see him ! Go Sam !
  3. Ooh it is isn't it! 😍
  4. TRY AN OFFER I'M FEELING GENEROUS Very good condition recently taken in p/x but not displacing my current rig, THE EBS MICROBASS II PREAMP IS THE BASS PLAYERS ‘SWISS ARMY KNIFE’. A DI BOX, TWO-CHANNEL PREAMP, WITH SPEAKER SIMULATION, EFFECTS LOOP, PHONES OUTPUT AND LOADS OF OTHER GREAT FEATURES. THIS IS THE ULTIMATE BASS TOOL. PERIOD! Two Channels and A Useful Loop. The MicroBass II can be used as an active direct box, a one or two channel preamp, instrument switcher or blender. The two channels provide sound shaping from high end solid-state types to distorted timbres, using the awarded tube emulation circuitry found in the EBS range of professional bass heads. An incorporated effects loop gives the user added flexibility for connecting to other effect pedals, or for mixing in an external audio source such as a CD player for rehearsal purposes. Unmatched Flexibility. The balanced output with speaker simulator option provides unmatched flexibility in live and studio situations. Footswitches control mute and channel operation/switching. Other features include headphone output, low battery indicator, link and master outputs, bass, ‘sweepable’ midrange, treble, bright and edge filters, drive and effects mix controls. Price includes 1st class postage in UK
  5. Could be an interesting exercise in using Eurovision to raise an interesting artist's profile, rather than actually trying to win the thing. Hope the guy does well off the back of it.
  6. Bring back Gina G for a little bit more
  7. Loop-based from a single 555 timer, obviously!
  8. I’ve got the Venture V7 coming to try out
  9. Hoooo boy. I borrowed a Rob Allen Deep 5 from a colleague. Now I want one even more.

  10. I'm hoping for a flame throwing keytar and a 1000 Furby backing group. Matt
  11. I'm not sure about this one. It's certainly nowhere near the specified case of dragging one's other half round the guitar shops, trying a bunch of stuff then they buy it for you. This is subtler than that. Reuniting you with an old (bass) flame seems a little different to me. I mean it was kinda pre-chosen, no? Honestly, I'm in two minds about it. This is a very specific case of an accidental discovery, rather than a wilful and knowing enterprise of going out specifically to identify a bass for someone else to buy for you. But on the other hand, it wasn't a total surprise, and there was some influence in the purchase. What say you, jury?
  12. You know what this does! Comes with the Roland UM-One interface which works very well. It has velcro on the back but it's in great condition. Cheers
  13. The Bassballs is one of my favourite pedals, and I've had lots of different versions. The sis one of the first Russian editions. Originally in green, the paint switched to black, the foot switch changed to a more modern type, then they changed the switch from the big chunky one here to a more feeble thinner version, then, over time, the boxes got thinner and more matte pain finish. Sound wise, this has a more 'robotic' feel than my first version. It's totally original, works great with battery and power supply. The bypass on these is brilliant; if not true bypass it's as clean as can be. Comes with original pine box and block of foam that they used to hold them in place, and warranty card. The pedal is in great condition; the screws are a bit rough on the surface but they all are! If you open it up you can adjust the two filters (using a flat screwdriver) to create different sounds. Postage included. Pity the post that has to carry this 😆 Cheers ped
  14. I was away immediately afterwards and so didn't get chance to post at the time, but there was a Mingus Tree gig in The Shed in Charlbury on the 14th. This style of music always seems to go down well with the local audience. There's one tune where the guitarist changed the intro, and I keep missing my cue. I paid particular attention this time and was bang on with the intro, then cocked up in the second bar once the tune got going. Oh, well. There was also a request from the band for bass guitar for a particular song, played in a particular way. Normally, if I noodled away on an altered scale throughout a tune it might be considered a bit dodgy, but this was exactly what they wanted. We even got a star turn from the BL's ventriloquist's dummy for one song...
  15. Finally someone suitably bonkers but with the right amount of pop sensibility for the job. Or maybe he'll do a 3 minute 100 oscillator drone piece?
  16. Today
  17. Hi mate yes all original. It’s a really nice colour. All the wear is genuine.
  18. I didn't join my first band until I was 34.
  19. this one is for shits and giggles After bashing a few riffs about I stumbled on one that I liked, I matched up a drum sound and pattern that I thought suited. when trying to sort it into a song format , I thought I recognised the style of of , so I ran with it its the Beef 52's Gordon Smith bass, Ibby 6 string, EZ drummer holds it together and a songlark topping the sonic experience , all slapped with a few FX and wrapped in some ozone8 I can produce a handwritten version of the lyrics on some scrap paper that might be worth millions in a few years ... only a tenner each guys
  20. interesting stuff, will check the video later on, cheers! Good luck with the sale!
  21. The Boss RE-202 space echo is great....it is quite pricey but the RE-2 is cheaper (or the older RE-20 is starting to get cheaper second hand). .....but I didn't actually find much use for it (and the reverb it has) with Bass, e.g. dub reggae is full of delays on just about every part of the music - apart from the Bass that stays as a solid foundation. So I do have my eye on getting one again, but to use with keys rather than for Bass. Perhaps there are certain delays (or genres) that are better for Bass delays though?
  22. I've been browsing bass shops in Japan recently and I noticed the price of vintage Steinberger XL basses has gone up a lot lately.
  23. Sounds good. Thanks Chaps I was saddened to have missed last year's one, but I did catch the on-the-day interview online with Chris Childs.
  24. All of the above. A light valve drive and compressor are always on, then I have a couple of other, dirtier drives that I turn off and on depending on the song. My chopped OC2 takes care of sub sounds, and modulation and pitch shift come from a Line 6 M5. Squelchy fun (my least used effect) is a chunk systems Agent 00Funk and HPF at then end of the board
