    Advice please! POG v's boss OC3

    in Effects

    Posted

    Advice needed please peeps! I'm after an octave pedal, but one that allows me to octave 'up' as well as just 'down'
    So far I think I've narrowed it down to these two. Money is a factor and the boss is obviously cheaper than the pog. However, I don't know if it will allow me to do what I want.
    Any advice or comments gratefully appreciated!
    Thanks in advance

    2nd transaction with Ash, just received his Tony Butler Vintage bass-spanking new condition and very well packaged! He even held it for me for a week to allow for xmas funding !!!!!

    Thanks Ash. Deal with total confidence-top bloke.

    Bad Memories ( Kay )

    My first bass in 1986 was exactly the same as this Kay. I remember collecting it, having saved paper round money and was so excited.
    Yes, in hindsight it was beyond dreadful.....however.... It turned me onto a whole new world, and I've never looked back.....
    Not so much the Sound City amp I had that sounded like sh*te, distorted beyond belief at any volume past 2......and weighed more than my dads legendary Rover 827 SLi!....yea readers that's right.....an SLi! 😂😂😂

    Gretsch baritone

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted

    Evening!

    Sooo....after much thought (and general indecisiveness on my part) I've decided to part ways with my Gretsch baritone.

    It's fantastic but I just don't use it. It's immaculate! I'm the second owner and I bought it from a 72 year old Jazz guy!!! He'd had the bigsby trem taken off and a fixed bridge fitted as per the photos. As he said at the time, "what the bloody hell would you want a tremolo arm
    On a bass for?!" - to be said in thick brummy accent !!!!! He was from deepest darkest birmingham!
    It's in black sparkle and really is as new, I've listed below the stuff from the Gretsch site
    Body

    It's on flea bay for a BIN of £175. Happy to let it go to a BC'er for £150 ex delivery. I'm near Leicester if anyone wanted to pick it up rather than post.

    Cheers
    Matt
