  1. Power Bank & DD-3 Sold Synth & Harmonist still available!
  2. Time for a bit of a clear out of pedals that haven't seen the light of day in a couple of years Boss Harmonist HR-2 - £100 Good condition with just light scuffs to paint work. Boxed but no manual. Boss Bass Synth SYB-3 - £50 Good condition, light scuffs to paint work. Boxed w/manual. I'll send using Royal Mail 1st Class Recorded which should be about £4. Bank transfers (preferred) or Paypal please
  3. The Polytune is a great pedal, nice and solid construction, very responsive and quick to use. It also seems to be a very clean pedal to have in a signal chain.

    Delay For Bass

    [quote name='dumelow' post='1095213' date='Jan 19 2011, 02:38 PM']does this apply to these pedals that are not true bypass too? could you use any cheapish tremolo or phaser and it wont affect your tone?[/quote] Anything you add into your signal chain between your bass and amp will affect your tone, it's just about finding what suits you best.

    Sold

    I'm selling my Carl Martin Compressor Limiter as I don't use it anymore. It's a great compressor, very powerful and versatile and it's boxed and in excellent condition. It's the model with the built in power supply. [b]£80 delivered[/b] I'll send using Royal Mail Special Delivery so it'll be fully insured.
  8. First bass I ever bought (after borrowing my dad's jazz to learn on) was a second hand Warwick Thumb 4 bolt-on with one of those slim 90's necks. That was 7 years ago and it's still very often my go-to bass for studio stuff. I couldn't part with it. I've since bought a custom shop Streamer Stage 1 and it's an absolute dream to play and where ever possible I'll use it live. Funny thing is though, I don't really use either of these basses at rehearsals or to write music on. They just pull through when I really need that tone and feel!
  9. [quote name='chuck_stones' post='1014188' date='Nov 6 2010, 12:47 PM']Oooh, me me me! You interested in any trades on this, or is it sale only? Either way, I'm very interested that is one slick looking beast![/quote] Sadly I can't justify any new additions to my bass family at the moment so this one's just for sale.
  10. [quote name='webby' post='1014721' date='Nov 6 2010, 08:14 PM']Oh man that is gorgeous. If it wasn't fretless I'd be interested too.[/quote] You could always buy a second hand fretted neck and sell the fretless one
  11. Since I don't play this bass at all anymore and I've been playing almost exclusively 6 string fretted instruments for over a year, it's gotta go! Some of you old school BC'ers might remember these pics from when I originally posted them a few years ago. The pickups in the bass in these pics are different now, those were some stock MIM Jazz Pickups, it's now got an EMG J Set with the completely black covers. WD Jazz style neck: Maple w/ebony fretboard and off-white fret markers. See here: [url="http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/BASS_NECK_EBONY_FRETLESS_LINE_MARKERS_BEFL#"]http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/BASS_NECK...E_MARKERS_BEFL#[/url] WD Black Jazz body: Alder. See here: [url="http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/Jazz_Bass_Body_Black_JBBK"]http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/Jazz_Bass_Body_Black_JBBK[/url] Gotoh Vintage Style Machine Heads (Black) [url="http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/Vintage_Style_Bass_Tuners_Open_Gear_Black_Chrome_GB-2LB"]http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/Vintage_S...k_Chrome_GB-2LB[/url] EMG J Set Jazz Pickups Official Badass Bridge II (Black) Q Parts Knobs [url="http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/Dome_knob_-_Abalone_Shell_cap_-_Red_%7C_Black_DABSRD-B"]http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/Dome_knob..._Black_DABSRD-B[/url] Electronics: Volume/Volume/Tone. I can't remember exactly which pots I put inside this bass but it's all decent stuff, I didn't scrimp on anything when I put this together. If anyone wants to know what kind of pots they are I'll have a look. All other hardware: BLACK! All screws, plates etc are black and from WD music. The nut is a decent quality bone nut that was shaped specifically for this bass from a block. Weight: 10lbs So as you can see from all the spec here, this bass cost over £600 to put together. I didn't scrimp on any of the parts. It's been setup with Rotosound Pressure Wound strings, which from experimenting with different types of strings, give a great mid-range kick. It's great for that Jaco tone! The EMG's work very well in this bass, I've also had a set of pickups in it from a Fender USA Jazz Standard, they sounded very good and pronounced the softer more vintage tones but I preferred the extra punch of the EMG's. I've spent quite some time setting this bass up. It feels smooth to play and it's got pretty low action at the moment. It is a little bit neck heavy due to the maple neck, which is noticeable when sitting down with the bass, however with a Comfort Strapp this isn't a problem when stood up. I'd definitely recommend a Comfort Strapp with this bass, or similar, as it isn't the lightest bass out there at 10lbs. My one little grumble about this bass is that the truss rod can only be adjusted when the neck is taken off the body as the nut for this is on the other end of the neck. Pretty annoying! However with a set of 45-105's on this bass you shouldn't ever need to adjust this as it's currently setup with just a little curvature for low string height. There's some tarnishing to the knobs and a couple of the black screws, where they're just not as black as they should be! There's also 2 tiny dings in the bass, each of which measuring just a few MM. One is just above the bridge pickup and one is on the edge of the body below the input jack. These marks are very minor and only noticeable on close inspection. £250 + P&P. Pick up or meet in the middle preferred. I'm in Plymouth, I'll happily drive up to Taunton services to meet for the sale, or similar distance in the opposite direction. This is a lot of bass for the money! Any questions welcome and if you'd like to come and give it a play then be my guest
  12. Hiscox case sold! Pending collection/payment. Diago still up for grabs!
  13. I've got 2 cases that I don't need anymore, both have been well looked after. I'm based in Bristol and would prefer collection or meet 1/2 way for these cases. I can send them, but we'll have to figure something out there as and when. Diago Tourman Pedalboard [b]£80[/b] - Excellent condition. This pedal board is surplus to requirements as I've down scaled my pedal addiction. It's seen 3 gigs and numerous band practices. Always well looked after. I think I have some of the original (and unused) velcro for it too. There is a scuff across the front of it but it isn't deep, it's just a light scuff that isn't down to the wood. Hopefully it's visible in the pics below: You can see the feint scuff across the top of the case here, it runs just over the diago logo (although the logo isn't scuffed). Please excuse the dust! The case will be cleaned and vacuumed inside! There is a dent in the foam in the top of the case on the left hand side, shown here. It's not deep though and doesn't effect the case. Hiscox Liteflight Standard Bass Case [b]£40[/b] - Excellent condition again. This case hasn't seen any gig action, just a few band practices. It's been used for storage more than anything else. There are a few light scuffs on the case but they're too small to take pics of. There's a few stickers on the case, I thought I had some sticker remover stuff but I can't find it! I should be able to get rid of them in the next day or two once i buy some more sticker remover. I also have the key for the case to lock one of the latches. Pics below: Any questions please PM me Thanks, Ed
  14. The Maplin one sounds ideal, but it's not gonna do that annoying thing where you can't really plug things in next to it on a 4-way is it? That would be a problem!
  15. Is this the one you mentioned Kev? I see there's a few on there. [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=43055"]http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=43055[/url]
  16. That looks ideal, thanks Kev. It's a shame I placed an order with Maplin only 2 days ago and I was wondering what I could add to it to get free delivery
  17. Where's the best place to acquire a replacement power supply for a Digitech Whammy? I've had a search on the forum but couldn't see anything. I imagine this is quite a popular question since Digitech have been so awkward in making a power supply specifically for this pedal. Ed
  18. sold/pending payment
  19. whackityshmackity BUMP!
