  1. Do you mean the various effects / block within a patch, or changing from a patch to no patch? If we say the middle row are footswitches- the metal ones, and the lower row are pedals - the black paddles. Individual effects and blocks you hold down the lower right pedal to go into Stomp Mode - you can then toggle on and off as required. From a patch to no patch - quickest way is to set an empty patch up next to a patch and jump to that. Otherwise hold down pedal 3, then press footswitch 1.
  2. I've had all kinds of fun selling a car on Facebook, quite angst inducing at the time, but funny now looking back. The pick of which was me sticking at my reply to whats your best price, then continuing to offer £50 less. they were due to come over and view one Sunday afternoon, didnt show then got a message a couple of hours later asking if I could drive over to theirs with it as they had had a drink and wouldnt be able to drive it back...erm - No. A lovely lady bought it the following day and I still see here pottering around town in it, cue various messages from the no shows that ..we had a deal, I'd backed out of the deal etc..........anyway; These stories always remind me that I saw an interesting social experiment where in various towns various items were left outside houses with a sign saying free for collection - please take. Items such as sofas, fridges, table and chairs TV units. In almost all cases none of the items went. Experiment repeated with same items but with nominal values on of £50, £25 etc. In almost all cases the items disappeared overnight in a couple of days or so with no payment being made.
  3. Blackstar FLY BASS 3W Amp- £50 posted Mainland Uk Just opened to check all works as it should - so still in mint condition. The blurb: Want to play bass on the fly? Then the new Blackstar FLY 3 Bass mini amp is perfect for you! This compact, analogue mini amp is an innovative practice amp that gives you huge tone on the go, allowing you to enjoy your bass guitar anywhere without compromising in tone! The ortiginal Fly 3 guitar amp was a huge success, and now it's the bassists' turn to also enjoy this fantastic value-for-money amp! Combining two selectable channels, a continuously variable mid-cut EQ and compressor for ultimate control over your dynamics; it’s the perfect take-anywhere amp for your bass guitar, phone or tablet. The FLY 3 Bass also comes with an MP3 / LINE IN jack built in, allowing you to connect to your MP3 player, mobile phone, laptop, tablet etc. and jam along to your favourite tracks; the Emulated Output jack can also be used with headphones. You can combine the FLY 3 Bass with the FLY 103 to create a 6 watt Bass guitar amp setup which creates a stereo effect when playing your Bass guitar or listening to your favourite tunes. The pair of them linked together create one of the best portable speakers, pc speakers or computer speakers to play your music through. Blackstar FLY 3 Bass Mini Amp Main Features: Gain Control (Plus Overdrive Switch) The GAIN control adjusts the preamp instrument level and also the amount of overdrive. When the Clean Channel is selected, low to medium settings will deliver a clean sound and as the Gain is increased clockwise the sound will gradually become more overdriven. When the Overdrive channel is selected (OD switch) there will be moderate overdrive at all Gain settings, which again increases as the control is turned clockwise. EQ Control The EQ control allows the user to adjust the depth of the EQ curve for preferred tonal response. Fully anti-clockwise is relatively flat with a slight mid-range boost, whereas fully clockwise develops a formed mid response with a cut at around 400Hz. Compression Control The COMP. control adjusts the compression ratio of the in-built compressor. With the control fully anti-clockwise the ratio will be 1:1, therefore effectively off. As the control is turned further clockwise then the compression ratio is gradually increased, depending on the signal level present. Sub Control The SUB control sets the level of a harmonic generator. This produces an additional low frequency tone that is mixed in with the normal signal. It gives the perception of increased low-end girth. Battery Powered The FLY 3 mini guitar amp can be battery powered or when bought as a stereo pack, it can use the included power supply. It takes 6 batteries, preferably rechargeable. MP3 / Line Input Use your FLY 3 as an MP3 speaker or as a general speaker for your computer. Also use it to play along to backing tracks while practising. Record Using The Emulated Output Record directly to your computer, or even run it through a PA. Use with headphones to practice when you need to keep quiet. Connect An Extension Cabinet Turn the FLY 3 into a stereo mini amp by purchasing a FLY 103 extension cabinet and getting a 6W stereo sound. Use as your computer speakers, portable speakers when traveling as well. Blackstar FLY 3 Bass Mini Amp Specs: Product Range: Fly Bass Model: Fly 3 Bass Technology Type: Analogue Wattage: 3 Inputs: 1 Bass Guitar Input plus MP3/Line In Channels: 2 - Clean, Overdrive Speaker Size: 3" Speaker Amount: 1 Weight: 0.9KG Dimensions (Width x Height x Depth): 170 x 126 x 102 (mm)

  5. Squier Classic Vibe 50s Precision - Now £325 Shipped Mainland UK. Fender Squier Classic Vibe 50s Precision dating from 2008 making this one of the early Classic Vibes built in the Grand Reward Factory. This time is from the the same time as the highly regarded 60’s P Basses that were Made in China. Average overall condition given the age, a good few marks on the body and the neck as shown in the photos. The bass has been well loved and used and so does show signs of wear. The blurb: A true celebration of the ‘50s Precision bass. Squier bring this old school model back to life in glorious authenticity, harnessing a sound sculpted by Fender themselves. The Precision bass has always delivered strong, steady tone and bulletproof playability. Now you can get it all in a retro package with an added splash of unique design in there, too. Construction This Classic Vibe P bass is made of a strong pine body wood with a standard Fender appointment Maple ‘C’ shape neck. Combined with the spacey 9.5” radius fretboard, there’s plenty of room to manoeuvre across the tall vintage style frets. Sound Equipped with just the one ‘50s style single coil pickup placed in the centre of the body, it performs admirably as the sole source of tone. As you’d expect, this is a low output alnico pickup full of character. It’ll suit almost all playing styles and musical genres. Hardware You have nothing to worry about in this department – Fender and subsequently Squier are known for their steady hardware that’ll provide plenty of longevity throughout years of playing. The oversized tuning heads and fixed bridge live up to the classic styling.

This ‘valve effect’ is integrated into the design of all RB Series heads and is part of what gives them their distinct sound. The RB Series heads deliver a warm, punchy tone with a fast transient response that not only sounds better, it feels better. GK’s renowned voicing filters and intuitive four band active EQ make it simple to dial in a great sound. Every day thousands of players around the world in arenas, clubs and basements plug into GK heads because they love that sound

  11. NOW TRADED - Dingwall D-Roc Standard Vintage Burst £950 - Can ship Mainland UK for £25 Good Overall Condition, one significant ding on the back - see photographs. Note the natural marking in the wood of a black spot on the body, under the G String area on the body between the pickups and the neck. Note another hole has been drilled to give an alternative position to hand the bass from – done by a previous owner and a very useful addition! The Blurb from Dingwall: The D-ROC Standard is an affordable, but brilliant bass guitar. It features a classic design and a high-quality mahogany body, partnered with smoked nickel Hipshot/Dingwall hardware. It’s a match made in bass heaven. This 4-string model comes in a classy, Matte Vintageburst finish. Hand Picked Hardware Dingwall have decided on an open-back tuner for the D-ROC. It helps to provide a smooth feel and is extremely lightweight. They are also known for being very reliable, offering years of high-level performance without any issues. A great tone pairs nicely with this solid performance, in part due to an available bridge/saddle system. This has then been improved upon through the implementation of a custom riser system – which grants increased range of action adjustability. Excellent Electronics The FD-3N pickups in the D-ROC (made to meet Dingwall expectations) ensure an aggressive, but buttery smooth tone. This is because of the decision to use quality Neodymium magnets. New Smoked Nickel knurled dome style knobs with a set-screw further adds to the excellent electronics found on this bass. Body and Neck A well-crafted mahogany body has been used, which helps to reduce the weight of the bass and provides a comfortable playing experience. The average weight of a D-ROC Standard is between 8.5lbs and 9.5lbs – making it a great choice for long playing sessions. The matte finish is durable, and will remain looking amazing for a long period of time. The bass sounds just as good as It looks! Stability and reliability are guaranteed due to a 5-piece maple neck construction. Many Dingwall players even say that this results in a neck that is as stable as many graphite necked instruments they’ve played previously. The choice of a flat headstock – with Hipshot licensed Ultralite tuners – achieves a truly excellent balance. Playability has also been enhanced thanks to the addition of smaller, 18% hard nickel silver fretwire. It offers you a much faster feel, as well as a woodier, less metallic tone. Specifications Finish: Matte Vintageburst (Matching Headstock Edge) Hardware Colour: Smoked Nickel Hardware: Hipshot/Dingwall Strap Pins: Standard Bridge: Improved Bridge/Saddle System with Custom Riser Tuners: Open Back Tuner Jack: Traditional Style Jack Plate with a Switchcraft Brand Jack Knobs: Smoked Nickel Knurled Dome Style Knobs with Set-Screw Pickup Switching: Position 1 – Bridge (CCW), Position 2 – Bridge/Middle (Parallel), Position 3 – Middle, Position 4 – Bridge/Middle/Neck (CW) Standard Electronics: Passive, FD-3n Pickups, Volume, Rotary Pickup Selector, Passive Tone Pickup Options: 3 Pickup Neck/Middle/Bridge Pickups: FD-3N Pickups Made to Dingwall Specifications Postion Markers and Inlays: 3mm Plastic Face Dots, 2mm Plastic Side Dots Fret Options: 18% Hard Nickel Silver Fretwire Standard Fingerboard: Pau Ferro Radius: 240mm (9.45") 4-String Model – E A D G Headstock: Flat Neck Reinforcement: Heavy Duty Truss-Rod Neck Carve: Medium Thin C Shape Neck Construction: 5-Piece Maple Fingerboard Material: Pao Ferro Body: Mahogany

  13. Orange OB1-300 Bass Amp + Footswitch + Rack Case. £425 Shipped Mainland UK. Great sounding amp in very good condition - comes in a Pulse Rack Case Good overall condition. One corner of the rack case has a crack but still functions and protects the amp fine. The Orange blurb is: These amps have become popular over the last couple of years mainly for their split-signal capabilities which allows you to divide your bass sound into one clean bass signal and one distorted fuzz signal, controlled by the effective Gain and Blend knobs which allow you to choose how much fuzziness you want, from 0 to full-on while always keeping the (clean) fundamental low-end bass sound. OB1-300 LEAVE THE OTHER AMP AT HOME… For years bassists have been combining guitar and bass amps to remarkable effect, adding harmonics and layers of overdrive from a guitar amp to their core bass tone in pursuit of the ultimate live sound. This ‘bi-amp’ trend got us thinking… Why drag two amps to the show when you could take just one? The result is the OB1 Series of class A/B rack mountable bass heads which take care of this and much more besides. The key to the OB1’s unique sound is our footswitchable Blend circuit which adds a veneer of controllable gain and increased harmonic content to the upper registers of the input signal. The lower frequencies and clean signal are left alone, staying warm and clear just as they would be in a ‘bi-amped’ setup. Depending on where the Gain and Blend controls are set, the possibilities are limitless. Punch in the Blend control to achieve anything from a transparent clean boost, to all-out filthy grind, and everywhere in between. KEY FEATURES ‘BI-AMP’ INSPIRED DESIGN The OB1 splits the input instrument signal into two separate paths. One side amplifies the clean signal, with all the clarity you would expect from Orange. The other adds stages of gain to the upper harmonics only, controllable via the amp’s Gain knob. These two elements are combined using the amplifier’s Blend control which adjusts the mix between clean and dirty. The Blend control can then be remotely engaged or defeated using the optional footswitch. The Gain and Blend’s range allows for almost anything, from a subtle level boost to cut through the mix, added girth and presence at moderate settings to fatten up chorus passages, to fully saturated savagery at the extremes. However you dial it, the OB1 always maintains the critical low end definition, right the way up to the most offensive settings! ACTIVE EQ The OB1’s highly responsive active three band EQ has been meticulously voiced for maximum effect with minimal fuss. The EQ section is located after the Gain and Blend dials take effect, allowing full control over their massive sonic range. The Bass and Middle controls feature +/-15dB of boost or cut, whilst there is a range of +/- 20dB on the Treble control. ALL ANALOGUE SIGNAL PATH The OB1 Series puts proper class A/B power back on the map. All circuitry is completely analogue, ensuring these amps sound expressive and musical even at ridiculous gain levels. RACK MOUNTABLE The OB1 Series are our first rack mountable amps, suitable for 19″ cases (2U). Enclosed in a rugged power coated steel chassis the fascia is finished in our classic ‘pics only’ styling. BALANCED & LINE OUTPUTS Balanced DI with ground lift and line level outputs for live and studio use. Specifications Features: Rack mountable (2U) 'bi-amp' inspired bass head with footswitchable gain and blend controls, active 3 band EQ, balanced DI and line level outputs Front Panel: (right to left) Instrument input with active/passive switch, gain, blend, bass, middle, treble, volume. footswitch input, mains switch Rear Panel: (right to left) Speaker outputs (speakon), 1/4" line output, balanced output with ground lift switch Speaker Output Options: Minimum 4 ohm: 1 x 8 ohm, 2 x 8 ohm, 1 x 4 ohm Output Power: 300 watts, class A/B Finish Options: white powder coated steel chassis (2U 19" rack mountable) Unboxed Dimensions: (W x H x D) 48.2 x 26.5 x 10CM (18.97 x 10.43 x 3.93") Unboxed Weight: 9.5KG (21LB)
  14. Each case depends on the individual circumstances. No contract is formed in my online case example though. This is very common. No contract formed until shipped or notification of shipping. Fisher Vs Bell is actually the same principle, a shop website is an invitation to treat, the modern day shop window if you will. Online purchase, putting into your basket and making a payment is your offer to the seller. The sticking point is then where does acceptance of this offer take place. We firstly need both offer and acceptance to form the contract. Commonly the acceptance will be deemed to be once goods are shipped or notification of shipment is made, thus giving the seller ample time and opportunity to review the offer and accept or not.
  15. The relevant law here is offer and acceptance. The get out clause that often applies in online cases is that the sellers T&C's states that acceptance of the offer only takes place when the goods are shipped or the buyer is notified they are shipped. I don't know if that is specifically in this sellers T&C's here but it is a fairly standard online retailer clause. I'd be surprised if it isn't, its a handy clause for suppliers to have as it gives them the opportunity to catch things like this. We all normally agree to all the sellers T&C's by ticking the box on payment that we agree to the T&C's, and of course hardly anyone reads through the T&C's. Agreed poor customer service, PR etc, but unlikely that it would be termed as a breach of contract.......
  16. Shipping is now available on this. From correspondence with a potential buyer - I am now told that this is a MIK model.
  17. Padded Foam Cover for Big Baby T - Also fits Big Baby 2. £30 posted Mainland UK. Some wear and tear with the odd nick but will still go a job and plenty of life left in it. This is a decent foam padded cover and not a slip case or a felt/vinyl job. Comparing it to my One10 Cover – I believe it is as supplied by Barefaced before they added the branding. The style /method of the stitching and the foam look identical. Obviously this one is a little more tired and non branded. Photos show the pulls and scars – please do not expect as new condition. Some wet marks on the photos will dry out - I've just vacuumed and wiped the cover down. This is actually for a Big Baby T – Dimensions of: 64cm x 48cm x 34cm Bit I also actually used it more with a Big Baby 2 which has similar dimension of: 56cm x 45cm x 37cm A bit loose on a Big Baby 2 but still did the job of offering protection just fine. £75 for a new branded one for from Barefaced for a BB2 so looking for £40 posted mainland UK.
  18. Elek-Trix solderless pre wired -- wiring harness for single pickup basses. This is a dual capacitor model. The tone knob is push/pull, selecting between two different capacitors, each one having one of 15 different capacitance values to choose from using the micro switches. Pickguard not included - I think i have added the correct drawing too to explain how the dip switches operate £80 posted Mainland UK Bass-VT-Switch-Settings.pdf
  19. Stellartone Tone Styler Passive Tone Control - Bass 6. £60 posted Mainland UK For mounting through a scratchplate rather than a body given the shaft length.
  20. Darkglass Tone Capsule - Spector Edition. £85 posted Mainland UK. https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Darkglass_Preamps.html
