    First gig at sixteen, playing a fiver and on the mic (singing?)...🤯

     

    ...and the world was hers.

    Yes, some backing vocals and lead vox on Spellbound by Siouxsie and the Banshees. 🤯 indeed!

  3. Glockenklang Blue Rock amp. 1000w @ 4 ohms. The absolute pinnacle of class D amps IMO,  and the amp that stopped all GAS for me.

     

    I'm no longer gigging so I'm selling off my amp and cab.

     

    Rich, clear, loud and light. Shape the tone manually with the myriad of controls, or with the excellent presets. 

    It does clean very, very well, and in true Glockenklang style, the bass control is usable all the way up without going wooly like most other amps. 

    You can also dial in the drive circuit, which is very valve sounding. From a bit of dirt just when you dig in, to full on creamy distortion. 

     

    Pickup preferred or I can post for an additional £12.

     

    Comes in a Mackie padded bag* with Rock Wire cable and 2.5m power lead.

     

    *There are two spots of blue tac residue inside the bag where the amp feet sit. I can't get rid I'm afraid.

  4. Barefaced Super Twin

    1200w @ 4ohms

    In very good condition. Made in England, very solid and sounds superb. And loud! Comes with RoqSolid Cover with velcro arse flap option.

     

    Pickup preferred from Southwell, Notts. Easy access from the A1 /Newark/Nottingham etc.

  5. I went to a Q&A talk thing by John Robb at Rough Trade. He has just released a book "Art of Darkness: The history of goth"

    It was great; lots of back-in-the-day goths dressing up, discussion of the music/people and reminiscing about the clubs etc. A little nugget I loved was "if you HAD to break it down to a formula, then Jim Morriston + Bowie × punk = goth"

     

    @BigRedX I was half expecting to see you there

  6. Made in the UK by Rainger FX, this is Dr Freakenstein's Dwarf beach, a heavy gated fuzz.

     

    Although not a bass-dedicated fuzz, it has high/low switch for frequencies. Back in my pedal crazy days, I had this blended with a Density Hulk for maximum fun.

     

     

    -Hi/low frequency switch

    -Rear trim pot to go from gated fuzz to insane oscillating sci-fi bleepiness.

    -Pitch set via the knob, or controlled by Igor, the foot-operated pressure pad!

  7. The mighty Panda Audio Future Impact synth. 

    There are 99 presets loaded at any time:

     

    Geek level 1: Go onto the open source database and select which ones you want on your unit.

     

    Geek level 2: Tweak each effect with the editor on the unit

     

    Ultimate geek: Create your own perfect sounds on the software, then upload to the database for others to use.

     

    Comes complete with midi cable to connect with your computer. Firmware update was done a few years back, so it now has tuner function.

    whatever that is looks lovely. I like the way the shape of the pickup has been mirrored in the thumb rest/fretboard thing. 

    It's a lovely bass. The pickup has a nice thumbcrater, and I love the way the fretboard continues into a thumbrest. Makes it a very playable and beautiful bass!
