  1. Past hour
  2. Classic Japanese OC-2. Fully working. Cosmetically quite rough (reflected in the price). I don’t know the exact age and I’m not sure whether the ACA → 9V mod has been done, however: • Works perfectly on battery • Works perfectly when powered from my TU-3 (daisy-chain) • Tracks as expected and sounds exactly as an OC-2 should Currently fitted with a different BOSS base plate with Velcro on it, but includes the original rubber base and screws. No original box or manual. £150 UK postage: £10 Happy to meet in / around Edinburgh, or post at buyer’s cost

  3. Very good condition BOSS RC-3 looper, lightly used and in full working order. Comes with original box and manual. Velcro on the base, but otherwise very tidy. £100 Happy to meet in / around Edinburgh, or can post for around £10 UK at buyer’s cost.
  4. Those Boba Fuzz pedals are fantastic, it's a 1:1 clone of the Zvex Mammoth with an added mids control on the Body dial. Looks like Vinnie's knocked his eBay shop on the head as well so there's no new ones available
  5. The choice of Klingon bass players across the galaxy.
  6. Had a good one. Took my Squier Standard Jazz with old style mutes to do Brown Eyed Girl (sorry... it's actually a lot of fun to play). Some fun new songs, Be Good to Yourself, I'm a Man, Roxette... Also took my Epiphone Embassy... singer and guitarist's eyes nearly popped out, then they heard it. Begged me to play it at gigs!
  7. Open to offers also and to p/x with cash my way also SG Bass, Mustangs are of interest Thanks Dave
  8. Beware: you are walking on dangerous path. My latest road bike was 6.6 kg, and 6.8 kg with a power meter hub. I loved pages like this: https://lightweight.info/en ...although I never had the money to buy a set. I still have this: https://www.schmolke-carbon.com/product/oversize-evo-sl/ ...and some other nice parts in some boxes in the basement. Carbon, Ti, Mg, fiber reinforced composites... there are many materials that could be used in lightweight basses.
  9. Thanks Peter, The above is the reason for the doubt!
  10. I like that Dave. Can I order one from any of the major providers? Daryl

  12. Hey folks! The smaller footprint high quality modeller from Neural DSP. Got this from my guitarist who decided to go for a HX Stomp (he liked the screen). I’ve been playing around with this at home and on some gigs and as a fly rig it’s ideally suited to the gigging bassist needs. I’d set it up with a 4 gigging tones all based on classic amp models and captures from clean to dirty and the ability to add eq, compression, drive and effects as well as the latest version 2 captures all sounding even better than the initial set of bass presets which already sounded great. The app interface is quite straightforward and very easy to navigate and it’s super easy to use. Very conflicted but can’t keep this one I’m afraid. I’d been powering it from the USB C off my pedal board power brick but also from a 9v 500mA out and as you can see in the pic a usb power bank too. Very handy! Make no mistake this is a cracking unit which a huge amount of bass players would get lots of fun out of live especially if you gravitate a to 3-4 sounds on a gig. I’d been using it for IEM and direct to desk/FOH and taking a second out with no cab IR to my amp. Worked flawlessly. As this is a unit which can capture you can do this at home or download for. The cloud so a heap of options already available to experiment with. Price includes uk shipping only. More pictures upon request and unit comes boxed.
  13. Amazing weight for a ‘78! Perfect gigging machine!
  14. Yup absolutely right Lozz, though the bass doesn't exhibit obvious neck dive when worn. But those tuners are unnecessarily chunky. Annoyingly there doesn't seem to be an ultralight version of the 70s style tuners so changing them involves drilling new holes. I do have some Gotoh Resolite GRL510C12 - hard to get in the UK - and they're only 180g for the complete set. So I can lose an impressive 265g off the headstock. Worth noting though that the Gotoh clover isn't quite the same as the Fender one, and the shaft is a little shorter
  15. Look, I don't have a multimeter here to measure... but my luthier measured it for me once and said everything was okay. Regarding the cavities, I can disassemble it and send you photos so you can see if there's anything wrong. The problem is that these things are sometimes not visible to the "naked eye". The situation is really complicated and frustrating.
  16. Just had the final rehearsal for tomorrow's concert in Keswick.
  17. Today
  18. I'm not allowed to do 'hard paddington stares' but please could everyone look (or at least think) about whether their suggestions have been done once, twice or even three times before? The fun about this is the original word puns!
  19. actually used one of these for a small pub gig and was great worked wonders so, would recommend to anyone who wants one
  20. I’d say the reason why the Aerodyne feels a fair bit lighter than the 75RI is the difference in weight of the neck & tuners, might not seem much difference but it all pulls on the shoulder.
  21. Candy Girl - New Edition
  22. I can definitely see an obsession building. Scratch plate? Pah! That's 100g of dead weight with the screws! If I bought a lathe I could mill up a titanium string tree and save 3 grams.
  23. Sweets for my Sweet - The Drifters / The Searchers
  24. I don't know anything about their basses but I think when I was a Student in the early 80s, I used to eat their boil-in-th-bag curries.
