    Thanks guys, yes that's the only reason i'm selling it, one string too far for me! As Clint Eastwood once said "a man has got to know his limitations" I'd be interested in a swap for another fretless Shuker, but 5 stings or lower.

    **On Hold** This Q-Tron+ is fairly well used but still in perfect working order. The Drive up/down switch has lost it's "click" but still works no problems. Comes with the original power supply, but no box. £60 incl p&p in UK.

    I'm selling my Shuker 6 string. It was originaly fretted and i had the Gallery remove the frets, putting black lines in for markers. The dots on the side are untouched so it would be an easy job to re fret if wanted. I'm not sure what the wood is on the body sides but it has amazing flamed patterns as you can see on the photos. Again not sure what the fretboard is, but it seems very hard and flat so i'm guessing macasser ebony? Two EMG 45 active humbuckers and a Shuker 18v active eq, vol, blend, bass, treble and a variable mid shift. Overall the bass is in excellent condition, very small ding on the headstock and that's it. Amazing Shuker build quality with a seven piece wood through neck. Wide, shallow and flat neck. I'm asking £850 or trade for a 4/5 string fretless of similar quality.

    This is an original, about 27 years old, these pedals have never been reissued and are fairly rare. Warm, thick distortion sounds, but still allows you to hear your strings. Very heavy sound but without muddyness, similar to a Russian green Muff, but not as fuzzy? In good working order, but the battery clip has been resoldered. £70 incl p&p I must add that i think this pedal works better with guitars than bass, but i've only tried it with a high output active bass, so it was a bit too distorted? Sounds great with my Les Paul and Strat tho.

    Only used in the studio, so it's in great condition and perfect working order. This pedal is amazing as a recording tool to add grit to your sound or full distortion, you can also plug it straight into a power amp for a portable rig, or use it as a DI box, or just as an overdrive / distortion pedal. Justin Chancellor uses these to record with, so of course it nails his tone, all you need is a Wal :-) Comes with box and manual. £100 incl post.

    Hi i have a green Russian big muff and i'm looking to get it put into a smaller case and have the pots changed, try and make it not so noisy. Does anyone know someone who does mods to big muffs in the UK? Thanks.

    Hi, can anyone recommend a 5 string set won't feel like i'm playing cheesewire when i'm using a 35" scale Shuker. I like to be able to easily bend the D,G strings, but some strings have a tighter tension than others? Any ideas? Cheers.

    Vintage Ibanez Sonic Distortion SD9. This is an original, about 27 years old, these pedals have never been reissued and are fairly rare. Warm, thick distortion sounds, but still allows you to hear your strings. Very heavy but without muddyness. In good working order, but the battery clip has been resoldered. £70 incl p&p I must add that i think this pedal works better with guitars than bass, but i've only tried it with a high output active bass, so it was a bit too distorted?

    I've got a prunes, but it's a keeper. Great pedal for recording with, but gets a bit too fizzy live.

    Thanks, but not really what i'm after. [quote name='joegarcia' post='261179' date='Aug 12 2008, 09:27 PM']Interested in a p/x? My vintage Proco Rat 2 + cash for your Bass Sweet?[/quote]

    pm [quote name='BassManKev' post='261537' date='Aug 13 2008, 01:42 PM']iv decided that in my major cutdown of effects gear that this is the latest pedal to get the chop. It is a fantastic unit, which creates lovely valve tones and crunch and with the 3 band eq with mid Q control its very versitle read my full review of it here, as well as a picture: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=21764"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=21764[/url] basically selling as i think im moving more towards solid state sounds again (i used this as an always on preamp rather than an effect), and i don't use it for the high gain sounds it can produce. At the moment it is loaded with the Mullard 12ax7 tube in good condition, plenty of life left in it, im sure you all know about this probably being the best 12ax7 ever made, and can only be bought on ebay for £20+. il also include with the sale the orignal electro harmonix 12ax7 that came standard with the pedal. I think dave sells these £145 new, so my price will be £120 + shipping including BOTH valves. if you dont want the mullard (for whatever crazy reason ) and are happy with just the electro harmonix tube, i will sell for £110 + shipping. very much interested in trades, something synthy or a high end fuzz i would be interested in, certainly nothing subtle let me know[/quote]

    scale length

    Bassy replied to Geek99's topic in Bass Guitars

    [quote name='Geek99' post='258451' date='Aug 8 2008, 07:53 PM']I'm really hankering for a jazz bass (probably a Squier VMJ) - I dont have the longest fingers in the world though. I've read that Rickenbackers have a shorter scale, does anyone know if that extra inch makes them that much easier to play? I want to know if the extra money is worth it for the comfort! thanks[/quote] I've never had a problem going from 34" to 35", but what i don't like is what the extra inch does to the tension of the A, D, G strings? Does anybody else think that the trade off betwen a slightly tighter B string with a questionably better sound is worth the tightning of the rest of the strings? I used to play Wal's and they were 34" scale and had amazing B's. I switched to Status with 35" and felt that even though the B sounded slightly clearer (i still put this down to the graphite through neck), it had lost the bottom end of the Wal? So 34 or 35?? I read that Ken Smith said that the 35" scale was a fad. He still makes his basses with 34", however with the licensed KSD basses, the distributer wanted 35" scale because he thought that they would sell better? Sadowsky 34", Pedullar 34" Sorry to get off topic a bit, i think if you have small hands, it's probably not the scale length but the string spacing that might cause problems? I have banana fingers and i can't get on with any bass that has wide string spacing - 19/20mm. Ricks and Jazz's have very fast slim necks, either which i think you'll like, but you can pick up a decent Jap Fender for not a lot of money, whereas Ricks are fairly pricy. Also i have ben told to watch out for neck warping on old Ricks. Sorry for the long post, i'm bored :-)
