SOLD: Hartke HC33 Analog Bass Chorus - £22 posted
Bass Culture replied to Bass Culture's topic in Effects For Sale
BUMP -
Valeton's answer to the Tech 21 Bass Fly-rig and comprising a similar feature set. This is a great piece of kit and the quality of of the effects really belie its price. However, I've recently given in to the temptation of purchasing a multi-fx unit and this has to make way. This is the blurb from the Valeton website: TUNER: First in line is a big, bright, fast and accurate tuner so you can play confidently in tune. BOOST COMP: BOOST COMP is a booster and compressor combo. Set-to-forget knobs make it simply diabolical. DIRTY Q: The DIRTY Q module is an envelope filter with some interesting tricks. Tweak the knobs onboard until you find the vocal tone that suits your playing style. BASS AMP: This BASS AMP module will give your bass the life it needs for every musical genre. The EQ is golden with cleans and highly responsive even with the gain up. OCTAVE: Use the all-analog monophonic OCTAVE module to beef up your low end, create synthy leads, or make everything crash off the walls. Individual octave and dry control ensure maximum inspiration. CHORUS: Plunge into the lush CHORUS module to take your sound to a brave new world. No patience for annoying parameters – the single depth knob will let you decide how deep into analog chorus dimensions you want to go. And Dapper Bass is expandable for everything else you might need too: FX LOOP: Hook up your other effects— as many as you want!— and make Dapper Bass the core of your rig. THRU and XLR out: Use the THRU output jack to run through some parallel effects (rack processors, interfaces, etc.) or do some re-amping. The XLR OUT feeds a balanced signal to audio interfaces or mixers. FEATURES ● TUNER module with fast, accurate tuning ● Powerful BOOST COMP module for kicking your sound up ● Sensitive, vocal-like DIRTY Q module with some interesting tricks ● BASS AMP module with wide tonal flexibility ● All-analog monophonic OCTAVE module with individual octave/dry signal control ● Warm, lush CHORUS module for expanding your sound dimensions ● FX LOOP for extending the effects chain ● Different outputs to run through bass amps, audio interfaces, mixers and other gear And this is the unit itself - boxed, with power supply etc: I'm looking for a mere £75. Price includes shipping to mainland UK. Payment by bank transfer or Paypal gift. Come on, people, everyone needs a bit of Valeton essential effects strip in their life! Thanks all, BC -
Bought very recently from a fellow BC-er and since superseded by my recent purchase of a Zoom B3n, I have for sale this excellent analog(ue) chorus pedal from Hartke. Featuring Depth, Speed and Blend controls it's a very impressive and lush sounding chorus for the money. It's boxed and still has its registration card and user leaflet. It's in good condition and will include a beefy piece of velcro I took off the bottom when I took delivery. £22's a snip, I think, and even includes postage to mainland UK. Thanks all.

Great - many thanks.

AK - do you have a link to this puppy perchance?
-
Yet again I've taken a punt on a multi FX pedal - the aforementioned Zoom unit on this occasion - fully expecting to use it with enthusiasm for a full 3 weeks, before leaving it boxed and selling it in a year when I realise I'm likely never going to use it again. In the meantime, to perhaps prompt me to actually take it to a rehearsal, as anyone found a suitable, cheapish case for the B3n?

Got one of OBBM's superb quality Speakon-Jack speaker leads (pic here: http://bassic-bits.co.uk/) now surplus to requirements. Made up with very high quality Neutrik plugs and Klotz LY240T cable these are the very definition of 'the D's Bs'. Just the thing for all you Trace owners desperate to connect your head to your new Barefaced cab! ☺️ £12 posted (to mainland UK) will secure you the purchase of the finest speaker lead known to humanity. Payment by Paypal gift preferred.

Tried a few Nickels in recent years but, more recently, thought I'd give the Newtone SS Diamond strings a go. That's it, search over - I've got them on my passive, active and fretless basses now. Maybe those formative, early playing years with Roto Steelies just left too much of a mark.
-
If budget can extend a bit further I still think of the John East circuits as the Rolls Royce of preamps. I have a fretted Zoot with an East Uni-Pre and fretless with a Noll. Similar (active) controls - Bass and Treble cut and boost and a mid cut/boost with sweepable frequency. I've no idea why but I prefer the East by quite some margin; it just sounds more musical to me.

Saw this in the flesh yesterday - looks fabulous.

Question from an ignoramus here - are 'torrefied', 'roasted' and 'thermally modified' all one and the same thing?

Shuker, ACG or Sei Basses for a custom build?
Bass Culture replied to PatrickJ's topic in Bass Guitars
The other thing I'd suggest is concentrating on the fundamentals (for me these are playability and sound, yours may differ) and talk to your chosen luthier about his suggestions for best delivering them. This might mean you need to be open to considering different woods, perhaps, or maybe pickups or preamps/tone controls. My earlier custom basses were two pickups, coil tapping/phase reversal, three-band active EQ - the whole shebang - all of which I would carefully play with for all of about half an hour after I got the bass home, before sticking all the controls in a position from which, thereafter, they would never deviate. Now, my favourite Zoot is passive with the simplest control array possible. Heaven! -
Shuker, ACG or Sei Basses for a custom build?
Bass Culture replied to PatrickJ's topic in Bass Guitars
As others have said, there are quite a few options. I own three of Mike Walsh’s Zoot basses and out of literally dozens I’ve owned over the years - including ACG, Roscoe, Overwater (why no mention for them yet?) and Les Evans customs - they are my favourite. In that they are the basses that have delivered my personal preferences most completely in one package - but that’s as likely because they are the most recent and I now have a much better idea of what works for me and what doesn’t. They are also the best value for money. I couldn’t say they were ‘better’ than the others though, because the concept is almost fatuous between the list of exceptional makers mentioned so far - you’d be happy with any, I’m sure. I suspect the Sei will be most expensive because of Martin’s circumstances (location, customer base, overheads etc.) but that doesn’t they will be ‘better’. If this is your first custom spec, one thing I will say is this: it’s almost 100% certain there will be something about the finished instrument you will do differently if you ever commission a second. Enjoy! 😉 -
Looking sweet. Beginning to regret not having blocks on my last Funkie. This is getting the brain going about a new build myself.

Can only add to the tsunami of praise heaped upon Tim by previous buyers and sellers. He had my BF110 off me a couple of weeks back and was a delight to deal with. Took the slight delays I had in dispatching in his stride and was unphased by a minor issue with the cab itself. Top guy and a pleasure to deal with.
-
Recently purchased a Hartke Chorus pedal from Tobie. Excellent communications throughout and pedal was dispatched, well packaged and in excellent condition, as promptly as you could hope for. Yet another sound as a pound seller in the long tradition of Basschat.

I was looking forward to last year's Christmas works do as we were booked into somewhere with a band on. That was until I heard said band launch into their tired rendition of 'Johnny B. Goode' quickly followed by 'I Saw Her Standing There', in which the bass player decided Macca had missed a trick by not slapping his way through it. I wanted to throw a chair at him...
-
And me to you...to me to you etc. ☺️ -
Sale agreed.
-
They are. The only reason I'm selling mine is because I already have a Purple Chili 1x10 cab and my gigging days look as though they may well be behind now.

I have for sale my Barefaced 110. This is in excellent condition, having never been gigged, only used at a handful of rehearsals and otherwise sat in the back bedroom of our non-smokers household. You all know these are the absolute dog's dangles when it comes to lightweight, easily-transportable and gig-able small cabs that actually put some bass out. For some they offer a genuine one-cab solution. Full specs from the Barefaced website are here: https://barefacedbass.com/product-range/one10.htm This really is in 'as new' condition. I'm asking £275, which includes delivery to mainland UK. I can supply pics if needed but it basically looks exactly like the one on the link with no scratches, scrapes or wear marks of any description. Thanks, BC
-
Hi Tobie, I'll have this. Would you care to PM me your Paypal details? Thanks, BC

Great tone, dreadful taste in stage wear...Reminds me of seeing Pastorius at the Capital Radio Jazz festival back in the 80's - his choice of sky blue M&S-type 'golfing slacks' led to a serious reappraisal of his place in my list of influences and affections.
