I've used a TH350 with a Barefaced Compact for about 8 years (it's hard to imagine needing anything louder before you'd be plumbing into a PA system anyway)

It's been bounced around in the front pocket of my gig bag and never missed a beat. They're very well built.

I think Sue Ryder basses were just a one off block purchase, when they're gone they're gone, I would think by now every owner has removed the decal 😁, they were bought because they were a perceived bargain, but it's only a bargain if you really need it, would be interesting to see if anybody still uses one though,

Mine's still getting gigged with it's original decal proudly on show. 😎

Punters don't care, musos love it!

TC Electronic RH450?

I seem to remember these being incredibly popular - and then suddenly not so much. Was there a whole scandal over wattage?

I've owned this from new since 2012/13 and it's bomb-proof. It's big enough for a moderately sized pedal collection with cables etc - and It comes with a handy board for velcroing pedals onto.

Happy to offer to you for £50 plus postage, or I can drive a short way for a safe delivery/hand-off. These are £110 new from Flightcase Warehouse

Because it's quite heavy it'd probably be best to collect or arrange a hand-off etc.

Stickers are removable!

The EHX Attack Decay is probably your best bet for a pedal solution

Sorry, it's just been sold!

Any idea what firmware it's on?

I'm not sure exactly what version - I bought it new in May 2014 and haven't updated the firmware since!

As far as I can see the two main updates are 2.5 (2018) and 4.14 (2019), both of which this won't be on.

Happy to update the firmware though if that helps?

Are you interested in any trades at all? 

No sorry, I'm looking to clear out gear and raise some funds for other non-musical things! I can be flexible on the price though

"the only filter/wah you'll EVER NEED"

As a wah and filter addicted fool these words are worryingly exciting to me. 

The level of control is pretty incredible! The software is pretty easy to get your head around if you're familiar with filters

The only reason I'm selling is that I haven't gigged in a few years so I'm clearing out a bunch of gear down to just my bass and a pre-amp.

As part of a gear clear-out I'm looking to sell my Flightcase Warehouse Spider Medium Pedalboard Case!

As part of a gear clear-out I'm looking to sell my Novation Bass Station II!

This is a fully-featured analogue monosynth with a two oscillators and a sub oscillator, a great choice of filters and a nice arpeggiator, amongst other things 

I'm the original owner and it's been stored in it's blue Novation soft case for several years, with only the occasional use!

I also have the original power supply and instruction manual!

As part of a gear clear-out I'm looking to sell my TC Electronic SpectraComp!

This is a multi-band studio-grade compressor with all the features you'll ever need disguised as a tiny one-knob pedal.

Using TC Electronic TonePrint app you can change the setup of the compressor and pick some a large range of settings from TC and other bass artists like Nathan East, Ida Nielson etc.

If you plug in to your computer, you can edit all of the settings using the TonePrint editor software (Mac and Windows):

I'm the original owner and it's been stored in a flight case pedalboard for several years, with only the occasional use! I even have the ORIGINAL BOX and TC Electronic sticker!

As part of a gear clear-out I'm looking to sell my Sonuus Wahoo!

This is a pretty unique pedal that offers unparalleled control and expression for creating filter and wah sounds. It can emulate any filter or wah effect you want, and you can store settings as presets and switch it up on the fly. You can make your bass say any vowel sound you like.

It's not for the faint-hearted though.

Essentially it's two analogue filters and an overdrive circuit, controlled digitally. It comes with 100 presets and space for 100 more. You can change most of this on pedal itself but the real magic happens when you use the software.

It comes to life when you plug it in via USB to your computer and control via the software (Mac or Windows).

For the sake of keeping this post relatively short, I'll just link you here:

As part of a gear clear-out I'm looking to sell my Electro Harmonix Bass Big Muff Deluxe!

This is the classic Bass Big Muff circuit with extra handy features like:

• XLR out
• Clean/direct output
• Input pad for more control over the clipping
• Noise gate (works a treat)
• 'Crossover' mode splits the signal to output a clean low end with a distorted top end - the two filter controls let you control the tone of the clean sub and distorted top

It's a fantastic pedal and a bit of a steal at its retail price. I've just never had the gigs to use it regularly.

Darn missed it!

That was lightning fast! 😂

BUMP! Happy for anyone to pick up any one of these and enjoy and a cuppa in sunny Lincoln 😎

They've not got much time left - they won't make our next house move in a couple of months!

Old news! Loads of new Reverend models released on 2 January (although the consensus seems to be that it is a cracking guitar).

I've just placed an order for one of Reverend's new short scales, the Sentinel:

Mike Watt dropped pics of his Wattplower Mkii the other day too...

 

 

These both look ace! Clearly I haven't been paying attention! What's the idea behind the three split pickups? It's got a humbucker in the neck too?

Has this gone unnoticed somehow? 

Quite an interesting design! Short-scale semi-hollow PJ with blades and the J in the neck position. Would love to try it out!

Ah grasshopper. If you can find the answer to such an age old question, then you are truly wiser than all the other bass player on earth. 😉

😂Yep! I don't think I can offer any more wisdom than the 3,769,657 posts already on this site before this one! Maybe I should just flip a coin?

That's an awesome colour! Enjoy the bass!

Aaaand now I'm looking on Andertons too 😂

At the end of the day it depends on your individual financial circumstances. 

If you can afford to buy new gear without selling the old stuff, then absolutely do it. There's so much gear I wish I'd never sold. But at the end of the day, needs must, and if you can make better use of something else by selling your current cast offs, then do that. 

 

That's the thing yep, I can't invest much in gear at the moment - maybe a little - but selling the pedals is the only real way of getting the capital. I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth holding onto these things if I haven't used them in years and I think a second bass would be handy - or whether I've just got GAS and will regret selling stuff!

This is completely a first world problem.

I have a nice little pedalboard, but I never use it!

I bought individual pieces back when I was doing originals/gigging some covers and needed a specific sound - but I haven't used any of them in at least a couple of years.

Some of them have already been sold off/given away but I'm holding onto the rest "in-case I ever need them" - but I really don't think I will! I'm finding I'm getting more mileage out of working with my playing technique to get the sounds I'm after than relying on pedals that drastically alter the tone - and are a hassle to lug around/setup/power/chase tones with.

ANYWAY

At the moment I'm gigging one bass (5-string USA G&L L2500) which covers a lot of ground and I'm super happy with it. But it'd be nice to pick up an affordable passive four-string that I can put flats on more variety. Maybe fretless too? With roundwounds on the G&L, a flatwound tone and fretless sound are the only big gaps in the tone palette I feel I'm lacking. And the gigs I'm doing could benefit from some of those sounds on a song or two. I'm also DI'ing straight nowadays with all my gigs and it's working great for me and sound engineers - not having a pedalboard is definitely a relief for the sound engineers too!

SO

Is it worth selling up the pedals and putting some cash towards a complimentary bass? Or should I hold on to pedals I specifically bought to get sounds I like, but just don't use at the moment?

Thanks for any help in this life-changing decision! 

P.S. I don't want to name the pedals in-case this starts sounding like a for-sales ad by proxy, but they basically are:

• A nice compressor with plenty of controls
• A nice bass fuzz with plenty of controls
• A nice filter/wah with WAY too many controls

So it's a nice setup to have in the cupboard for when/if the time comes to use them again.
