For Sale is this amazing multi-drive pedal from Elektron. It features 8 distinct analog drive circuits - covering everything from clean boost, to a rich harmonic fuzz, and all manner of gain stages in between. The powerful 3 band eq (including sweepable mid frequency), makes this very effective on bass. The pedal design maintain 100% analog signal path, whilst incorporating digital controls to allow for 100 presets, and integrated Midi Control (with possible midi control over every parameter). You also can attach expression pedals to the Gain control and Mid Frequency individually, allowing for dynamic real-time control of the gain level, or interesting way-like mid range sweeps. One creative application of these expression inputs is to pare some form of LFO control (old blood expression ramper, source audio reflex have worked well for me), to turn the mid freq into a sort of phaser, by sweeping a mid frequency cut. Or as a pseudo-band pass filter modulation. There is one significant chip in the paintwork, which is shown in the pictures. I have used this board both in a large pedalboard scenario, and totally on its own - providing all my various drive desires in a single unit. Included is the original box and power supply. NB. I have included an Audio File below, for a very brief idea of its sound - recorded direct with a Fender Classic 50s Precision (newly strung with EB Cobalt flats). No other processing/compression/eq going on. First 'lick" is in bypass, then clean boost/eq, and then various presets. Worth noting these presets of mine were programmed for use with an Ashdown CTM30, and so the levels aren't matched for DI use, as I purposefully wanted them to hit the tube amp harder.

Hi There, Apologies for missing this - it is indeed still available for sale. Drop me a DM for any questions.

John K Deep Charge Bass Fuzz for Sale £175 + £5 postage Will send special delivery for next day tracked delivery, or can sort local pickup in Belfast. John K built clone of the Prescription Depth Charge that sounds awesome! Exactly like the original that inspired it. Full ripping fuzz that is said to be Brassmaster style, though seems more like a super fuzz to my ears... Either way, it's incredible! The blend allows you to go full bore, or you can be more subtle and use it to add some nice texture to your playing. An absolute legendary fuzz tone available in a nice shiny box, that is small enough to find a spot on any pedalboard!

SALE PENDING

For sale is a delightful and deeply modded Fender Jaguar Bass CIJ. £750 Can facilitate local pickup in Belfast, and can also arrange delivery/courier - likely another £50-£70. Let me know address so I can arrange a quote. This bass plays like a dream, and has a huge range of tonal options available. Firstly, the active electronics are long gone, and the controls on the upper horn are currently disconnected (perfect "producer" switch and knobs for the Lee Solar fans out there!). I have also installed a fleet of Nordstrand pickups: a pair of 51J4S pickups in the 70's jazz bass pickup positions, and a Nordenbocker at the neck. These are attached to the three switches which follow a MusicMan Big Al style switching: when all three pickups are off/down then you have the two 51J4S pickups in parallel for huge punchy tones (I usually live here), you can then engage the other pickups by switching up/on for each pickup - you then only have the pickups that are "on" passing signal. So you can have any combina6ion of the 3 pickups solo or together in parallel. The 51J4S pickups capture the 51 single coil P bass pickup vibe, sort of like a woodier J pickup, with a certain bark and top end openness that I love. They are also setup as hum bucking split coils for zero noise. The neck pickup is Nordstrand's take on a Rickenbacker pickup, and it sounds wonderful. Rich, deep, and "plummy". It sounds great on it's own, and I most regularly find myself switching between this pickup solo, or the two jazz pickups in series, which only requires the movement of one switch. Combining the neck with other pickups opens up some very interesting sounds, that to me recall some classic 60s tones - think Serge Gainsbourg, and burns style basses. I alos have a chepa Humbucking Rickenbacker Toaster style pickup which I will throw in, in case some want s a full humbucking pickup setup. Worth noting that I originally had a Fender WRHB style pickup in the neck, and as such there is a bit of a "swimming-pool" route under the pickup, which would let you look at installing a Bi-Sonic or mud bucker style pickup at the neck for those that enjoy tinkering and modding. I have the bass strung up with Fender Flats which compliment everything perfectly for me, though chuck some rounds on the bass and it will snarl and grow like the beast it is! There is a Hispshot D-Tuner for easy access to drop tunings, and a sleek custom Black pick guard - I also have a yellow/black "wildcat" pick guard I will include in the sale. Lastly, I upgraded the bridge to Fender's hi mass type, which really helped open up the voice of this bass. I will include the original vintage style bridge in the sale. This bass has served me incredibly well in numerous studio recordings, and for years touring the world. I am hoping it finds a fun new life in a new home. It bears a few marks, and dings which I will try and capture better with photos. Please let me know if you have any questions or want any more photos. I will try and arrange a video too, to show the switching and tonal options. I will include a fender gig bag with the sale.

It really is a great bass, and absolute workhorse in the studio - wild range of sounds available from the electronics, and very much built to last.

No. I can sort some better photos tomorrow to better show this.
