    Up for sale I have something a little unusual! It is a clone of a Fortin Zuul noise gate pedal, built by a small Australian builder in very low quantities. The quality of the build is exceptional, picture can't really do the dark artwork justice, and having owned a Zuul before, can confirm it nails the action. Choppy aggressive gate with a haunting silence between notes (probably inspiration for the art!). It has the all key input (side chain) so you can trigger the gate with your clean signal, and has a side chain through like the Zuul +. For anyone using high gain bass distortion and plays anything remotely djenty, this is ESSENTIAL to get the right effect. I bought this as the Quad Cortex I use doesn't have the sidechaining function and the gates are a little loose for me, which I've been battling with for a while. Of course, literally the same week I bought this pedal, Neural DSP announced that sidechaining was being introduced for the noise gates in the next update.....you can't make it up! SO yes, as much as I want to keep this pedal because of how cool it looks, in reality it just doesn't offer enough that I don't already have with the QC, so it needs to go. £95 plus a few quid for shipping, depending on what service you want. The cheapest Zuul will set you back over £200, so enjoy this bargain!

    One final reduction to £200, for cash sale only.

    My first Boss pedal, released 2002. Other than replacing COSM with AIRD, not a lot has changed.... I dunno, I think for those who want to go the multi fx route, there are a ton of options out there with proper interfaces and signal chain routing e.t.c., whereas this just seems so old hat, like from the days when Boss didn't really have any competition. Just seems bizarre.

    Seeing a multi-fx processer with that many physical knobs in 2024 is wild, the release honestly looks about 10 years out of date. They kinda already did the budget GT-1000 with the Core version, what's the market for this?

    Is it me, or is the Classfieds slower than ever at the moment?  Noticing a LOT of stuff hanging around for ages that would have been snapped up not so long ago...

      I agree Kev, I withdrew one earlier in the month after no interest at what I thought was a fair price.  Glad I did as I think it would have been a mistake to sell.  

      Just got one up now but can see that it could be a long wait on here.  I've changed my buying habits to compensate....

      I have taken to putting stuff up on eBay as well. That's pretty dead too. Loads of watchers, no actual offers (apart from the occasional absurd lowball chancer, eg £600 for my vgc black/black/maple US Jazz)

      Haven't used EBay in a while, whenever I was buying I always thought pricing was optimistic...agree with Clarky on the 'chancers' though.  Currently selling my JMJ and FB market place is a joke....full of the 'I send handler to collect these item' crowd.

    Bump, cash only on this one now as I have my eye on something else 👀

    I wanted this bass SO much last time it was up! Still do! I'll need to move something first though, I take it from the OP you're not in the market for trades? Cheers
  8. Kev
    Mad price, sure you didn't mean for that to start with a 2?! Hopefully gets snapped up by a player and not a flipper!

    I think in honesty it's too bad to be AI, or at least, it's AI from multiple prompts. It just looks like copy/paste from here there and everywhere. Be good if the owner chimed in though, as it's all looking a bit ropey however you look at it.
  10. Kev
    Can you quote some? I'm not seeing anything that would differentiate AI over just bad unoriginal writing borrowing pieces already written.
  11. Kev
    There's nothing too glaring there really, to me anyways.
  12. Kev
    Those who are talking about the strings, you don't get them until month 5 so that sounds about right. Not about to send strings out until you've at least covered the cost of them! Any links to any articles? Can usually spot AI articles a mile off.

    Joking aside, as much as I love Nate's playing, his bass demos are actually entirely useless for this exact reason. Everything sounds overwhelmingly like him, and the techniques he uses overpower anything unique about the bass itself. I just wish influencers would just stick to playing the most basic riffs, or recognisable riffs, so you can really get a feel over what the bass can do, not what they can do.
  14. Kev
    Reduced to £220, plus a few quid for shipping.
  15. Kev
    Oh this is VERY tempting.
  16. Kev
    This may be the cleanest example I've seen of one of these, and I'm not sure i've seen those pickups on anything other than a Thumb before. A special bass indeed!
  17. Kev
    Any interest in the very different vibe of the Meris Ottobit/Midi i/o I currently have up for sale, by any chance? 😅
  18. Kev
    Not particularly, something pedally
  19. Kev
    So, in absence of enough creative flair to do this justice, I'm selling this amazing unit. This pedal is a ridiculous bitcrusher. It's also a filthy fuzz. It's one of the synthiest filters i've heard. It's a sequencer. It's a pitch shifter. It's an awful lot of things, better to watch this video than listen to me attempting to describe it! Great condition, very shiny units so there are naturally surface swirls and scratches under the light, but yeah. Foot pedals Box/psu included. £250 £220 £200 please. Midi I/O: £Sold Cheers!

    All very exciting stuff! I haven't tried a FI since the initial launch version/firmware, couldn't get on with the tracking and found it quite difficult to use, I wonder if this is the time to revisit... I have to ask though, when the opportunity to put the device in a fresh new smaller case arose with the new hardware, whyyyyyy wasn't it taken??? *Edit, I read a few posts up Still such a shame though, that and the lack of a USB option.
  21. Kev
    I would love Fodora to explain their rationale behind that design. Utter horror show, especially when you compare the break angle of the top and bottom 3.
  22. Kev
    At risk of sounding silly, surely tension goes beyond the speaking length of the string? If you have a 37" B that has a tuning peg really close to the nut and a string anchor really close to the saddle, and you have a 34" B that has a tuning peg on the far end of the headstock and a saddle a good distance from the ball end, does the 37" truly have anything like 3 inches/equivalent lbs more tension? I don't see how it can, which again will play a part. My headless Leduc 34" scale has a really notably articulate B, yet it anchors directly behind the nut and the break angle is close to ball end, so its as short a string as you can get on a 34" bass really, therefore lowest tension, but still sounds and plays better than most?
  23. Kev
    If there's one thing I've learnt by owning dozens and dozens of basses over the years, its that scale length is only a very small part of what makes a good B. Far, far more influential for me is the neck relief, action and string gauge, and there is definitely something going on with neck/bass construction too that I don't pretend to understand. Two B strings on two 34" scale basses can sound and feel entirely different, even with identical setups. I remember a few years ago I had a 34" Thumb bass that, no matter what I did, had the deadest, dullest B string imaginable, whilst simultaneously owning a 34" Alpher Mako bass that had the clearest, tightest B I could want. Same strings (even swapping the strings on both), same setup, unplugged so no pickup/preamp involvement, one sounded great and one sounded unusable. Go figure...
  24. Kev
    Can I pay you £10 a month over the next 16 years or so?
  25. Kev
    I feel dirty after reading this and the Celinder post. How could you?! 😅 These two are, for whatever reason, THE basschat basses. Wish I could grab this one, mega bass 🔥
