  1. Just sold my Dunlop Bass Wah to Dave - easy to deal with, no messing about, fast payment and a nice bloke. Good basschatter!
  2. Just sold him my Zoom Ultra Fuzz. Quick payment, easy to deal with. Cheers, hope you enjoy it!
  3. Good lad, bought my Bogdan Mephisto from me - no messing about, just fast payment and good communication. Pleasure doing business.
  4. Purchased a broken Marshall reverb from me. Nice chap, easy transaction. Hope you can get it working!
  5. I can only echo what Shep has said above. He has just bought a Digitech BSW from me, perfectly easy to deal with and paid very quickly. Cheers mate, hope you enjoy it.
  6. I've really enjoyed playing the ones I have - indeed my G&L L-2500T has a Stingray HH feel about it, but at the end of the day it's my Jazz I go for when I want to have a play around. I could have bought a Stingray at the time when I got it but I preferred the feel and sound of the Jazz. The Stingray is a lovely bass and I will probably end up buying one at some point. If they're unpopular though, they may just go for a little less on the second hand market, despite being in good condition - that's definitely a double edged sword, but great if you're looking to the used market for one!
  7. [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1334926717' post='1623572'] the fact that I hadn't needed to play the B string was irrelevant. [/quote] +1 I've done a little recording with my five since I got it, always get comments about whether or not that extra string is needed. It's there if you DO need it, surely?
  8. Andy has just taken delivery of my beloved Phase 90. Top gent, very easy to deal with. Thanks a lot mate, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
  9. Dunlop Wah sold, cheers. EDIT: EBS Reverb now also sold, thanks!
  10. [quote name='lxxwj' timestamp='1334919849' post='1623416'] Now, I have one of the 105's myself, and the one thing I don't like about it is that there's a short delay in your signal when you turn it on or off (by moving the pedal just a little forward). [/quote] The internal trim pot allows you to configure how long (or short) the delay of the effect is.
  11. Yep, you control sweep of the filter with your foot alone, it allows you to sweep as fast or as slow as you like. Toe down it reaches the high end of the sweep as if the envelope is fully open, heel down it's deep and bassy with the filter closed. I used to sue one with delay, reverb, phaser and chorus to get nice ambient filter swells.
  12. Bass Big Muff has gone as well.
  13. [quote name='Max Normal' timestamp='1334788800' post='1621480'] It's the non true bypass version (hence the low price), but to be honest, I can't tell any difference to my tone and signal whether this is in the signal chain or not so it's pretty academic. maybe true bypass is more of an issue with cheaper pedals, not top quality ones like this. And I never turn it off anyway so i don't need to bypass it. [/quote] The buffered bypass on this pedal is very clean and the compression is truly brilliant. Have a free bump on me, I've got one of the same of these and love it dearly. Great pedal, don't be put off by the "it's not true bypass" rubbish.
  14. [quote name='TRBboy' timestamp='1334875893' post='1622938'] Anyone know what Stagg basses are like? They do a.passive MM copy with a solid Alder body for next to nothing. [/quote] NO! Bad! I once had a Stagg BC300 and have played a number of basses in their line...and hated every single one. You owe it to yourself to get something a little nicer.
  15. How did I not see this earlier! What a lovely bass. I am one jealous man right now!
  16. Either another Pitchblack or a TC Polytune (or the mini if you don't need extensive features and USB compatibility). My TU-2 has been tough as nails for years, but it has rather fallen out of favour on the forum.
  17. Well firstly, it's very much different to an envelope filter of course, so although you will be able to no doubt create very similar sounds to those produced by the M82, your dynamics do not affect the sound at all. The 105Q is well built and has a good feel. The adjustable Q pot is very good, taking you from subtle to a very strong wah sweep (which I have loved). It has a volume pot so you can configure the wah to have a gain boost (or reduction) when engaged, which is perfect to take centre stage with to accentuate a part. The effect leaves your fundamental in tact, which is perhaps one of the reasons why it handles bass so well and sounds so thick, so the wah sweep is just applied to the full midrange and highs. Further, there is no toe switch to engage the wah as on a conventional wah, as you step on it it engages as it is spring loaded - exactly what I was looking for. The effect disengages when you take your foot off - you can also adjust how quickly the wah turns itself off when you roll the pedal all the way wah to the heel end. I've really enjoyed using mine. It is the best selling bass wah for a good reason and if I weren't pushed for pedal board space I would probably be keeping mine. If you want to try a wah, give it a punt. I've got one in the classifieds for sale and I think there may be another too. Have a listen to this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CvT4lP9FyM[/media]
  18. The Mesa Walkabout is hands down one of the best amps that I have ever had the pleasure to play through. Are you going to make a head case for it or put it in a rack?
  19. Polish Hate and Zoom Ultra Fuzz sold, thanks.
  20. [quote name='Ant' timestamp='1334822759' post='1621701'] i always just cut the velcro into thin strips and put it round the edge of the boss pedals rubber [/quote] That's what I've done with mine as well. Depends on how sticky the velcro is your apply I guess.
  21. Huh that's not a terrible idea actually, I'm quite impressed. Good find.
  22. Marshall Reverb sold, cheers.
  23. Phase 90 and Bass Synth Wah sold.
  24. That set up at the top was actually a vastly reduced version of the original THREE boards which used to surround him. And to be honest, from the set up he's currently using, there isn't much overflow. Arguably the DL4 and Ghost Disaster are both delay units although the GD also has reverb, but that's it, everything else has a unique purpose on his board. To each their own, I mean he doesn't have to carry the thing himself to every gig! I personally think that's all very usable, but then again some are happy just to plug right into a head from their bass, no messing. With the kind of material he's creating, you could say he NEEDS all that gear. I watched an interview with him where he was thinking of condensing all his modulation and delays down to just a Line 6 M9, as his guitar playing counterpart has mostly just done. EDIT: Yep that article has everything in it with the video interview at the bottom, didn't realise.
  25. DOD FX-25B and CEB-3 have gone to their new homes. Cheers.
