  1. Bass is SOLD pending the usual stuff. Thanks for all the interest. Now, someone buy my MTD!
  2. Bass is currently on HOLD for a buyer.
  3. Okay, for the same reason as I am offloading two basses I am thinning out some of the pedal cache: [b]Mad Professor BlueBerry BOD[/b] - brand new, used a couple of time at home, comes with box etc. Basically I have a BJFE Blueberry and wanted to see if I could use the MP and sell the BJFE. Turns out that I cannot, the BJFE is still the king of the hill. Which means I don't need this and you can get it at quite a chunk off retail. £100 shipping to the UK or EU [b]SOLD[/b] [b]Darkglass Electronics Harmonic Booster - FET Bass Preamp[/b] - got this about 4 months ago. Its a nice superbly built bass preamp in a compact box. Its got bass, treble and boost controls as well as two tone swtiches that give you a treble attack (think ultra-high) and a switch between a clean solid state like boost and a softer "dirty" style boost. Its great, but its not my thing. I prefer my [sfx] Ultra-Tone as a basic preamp pedal as all my basses are active. New Eu200+shipping. You can have this for £100 shipping in the UK or EU [b]Fuzzrocious Momster[/b] - this is Fuzzrocious' gated fuzz. Its got a heap of gain and is pretty cool, but I am just not that into fuzz. My [sfx] Micro-Fuzz and FEA Photon are all I need. Basically brand new with velcro! [b]SOLD[/b]! [b]Aguilar Octomizer[/b] - you know what it is and what it does. £80 shipped in UK or EU [b]SOLD[/b] [b]WMD Geiger Counter Civilian Issue[/b] - I love this pedal, I just have no use for it. Its a simplified version of the full Geiger Counter and its digital bitcrushing coolness. Check it out, if you are into noise this is the shizzle. Its also been modded by Max at [sfx] for better bass response. £110 shipped in the UK or EU [b]SOLD! [/b] [b]Subdecay Echobox[/b] - A great digital (I think - better check their website) delay with modulation. It was my only delay, but now I am useing the TCE Flashback. Its the old style box and its got velcro on the bottom but its a lovely easy to use delay. £90 shipped in the UK or EU. [b]Barge Concepts Custom Dual Looper[/b] - basically the best blender / looper you will find. Its custom made and has two independent loops that you can cascade (or not) with variable Z for each loop and two different footswtichable blend settings for each loop. Think Barge are out of business so you couldn't get one of these now if you wanted to. Well, you could buy mine! £80 shipped in the UK or EU [b]SOLD!![/b] [b]Red Onion Dual Looper[/b] - Two loops, two switches, powder blue. What do you want? £20 shipped in the UK or EU. Anyone whos bought off me before knows the deal. Basically I ship quickly and often by courier so you get most stuff the next day. I prefer PayPal for pedal sales. I think I have a pretty good rep for selling - no complaints that I am aware of. Drop me a PM if you are keen. No trades please except for an EBS Octobass Black label. Mark
  4. I have now added the weight (4.2kgs).
  5. After a few requests I popped out and bought some digital scales today and have added the weight (4kg).
  6. [quote name='nobody's prefect' post='1223939' date='May 8 2011, 10:07 AM']If it only were a sixer! 'Marilyn' basses are always chambered and have a thicker body than the normal MTDs, right? Gives a very different tone from what I've heard.[/quote] Correct, the basses are named after Marilyn Chambers (get it? ) They have a thcicked body and a number of acoustic chambers in the body. The sound is huge, they are probably the most amazing sounding MTDs in terms of the ultra-wide tonal spectrum. Massive bottom end. In a mix you have to turn down the bass as it can be a little overwhelming, but on its own the sound is sublime. The MTD are very flexible as the EQ is powerful and can really cover almost any tone you can imagine. My main bass is an MTD 535-24 - the only reason the marilyn is going is that I prefer the 24 frets and I can't bring myself to sell either of my other two basses (a custom I got for my 21st birthday and a Ritter Royal).
  7. [b]For this weekend only, until Monday at 23:59, I will let this go shipped in the UK for £2,450 (EU and international shipping will cost a bit more). That won't include the setup, but thats a £250 reduction to the asking price[/b]. As noted earlier if it doesn't sell I am going to take it off the market because I know I will regret selling this, but it would be nice to have the money for a house deposit. Along with my Sadowsky I am also selling my MTD-535 "Marilyn". These are incredibly hard to come by and Mike T often says he's going to stop making them (although I believe you can still order one if you ask nicely!). The Specs: MTD 535-21 "Marilyn" #34 Chambered Alder Body Amazing figured walnut top Wenge neck (beautiful closed grain with deep chocolate colour) Birdseye maple fingerboard (deed caramel colour) Matching walnut headstock Dual veneers. MTD "The World" logo Standard MTD exclusive bart pickups and preamp Weight: 4.2kgs Comes with: MTD Original hardshell case (its the older MTD model without the hydrometer but with the MTD logo). I have a newer MTD with the new case. If you really want the new case I can include that one, but the shipping is going to cost more since the new cases weigh a ton. If you plan on gigging with it you can forget about taking the new case, its just too heavy! (Not that the older style is light, its also a very robust case). MTD build time at the moment varies between about 9 months and 18 months. Marilyns tend to take about 18 because of the extra work involved in the chambering. The selling price on this bass now would be over $5500USD plus shipping & VAT (assuming you could order one). Its in excellent condition. There is one or two small dings on the body, including one on the front under the bridge pickup, but they are not particuarly deep and only noticeable when you look for them. As with my Sadowsky the bass could do with a setup. I can arrange it and have built the cost of doing so into the price. If you are happy to take it without the setup you can take £50 off the price. Asking price is: £2700 inc shipping and insurance within the UK. No trades. International: Let me know where you re located and I will give you an estimate for shipping. I am in London, so local pickup would save on the shipping costs! Pics: Paypal is okay. Cash or direct deposit is preferred. PM me with any questions.
  8. SOLD The specs: Sadowsky NYC PJ4 (Jazz body) Alder Vintage (downsized) body Maple Neck Brazillian Rosewood Figerboard Daphne Blue finish Matching Headstock Factory installed Nordstrand NP4 and NJ4SE pickups Universal Route (JJ / PJ) in the body Hipshot D-Tuner on the E-string Weight: 4kg (according to my digital scales) Comes with: Spare set of Sadowsky JJ Pickups Spare Pickguard for JJ Pickups Strung with Sadowsky Blue Flats Will include Sadowsky Blue Stainless Set as well Sadowsky "light" hardcase To order this bass new now would be $4600USD (plus shipping + VAT). It is in almost mint condition. There are no dings on the body, neck or headstock that I can find. It still has the plastic on the back of the body to protect it. Why am I selling? My wife and I are looking to buy a house so I am selling off 2 of my 5 (basses and this Sadowsky and my MTD Marilyn are my least used). Ideally I'd like to keep it, but you can't have everything in life! A couple of points: 1. I have a Sadowsky Portabag. I will include it instead of the hardcase, but it will add to the price as its my main gigbag. The bass came with the hardcase when I bought it new from Sadowsky and that's what its selling with. 2. The bass could do with a setup. I can arrange for ti to be done at the bass gallery and the cost of getting it set up is included in the price. If you are happy to take it without a setup you can take £50 off the price. SOLD Pics: PayPal is okay, direct deposit or cash is preferred. Any questions, please PM me.
  9. Most stuff is gone BUMP! Make me an ofer on anything that's remaining!
  10. I knew I should have waited until you sold yours before ordering mine! This is a steal folks and a very easy to deal with seller! Mark
  11. Bought a PT Mini from AJ. Easy to deal with, best packing i've ever seen. Top bloke. Deal with confidence!

[quote name='ajerthebadger' post='1139879' date='Feb 24 2011, 12:58 PM']Here is the Pedaltrain page: [url="http://prostagegear.com/products/pedalboards/mini/"]http://prostagegear.com/products/pedalboards/mini/[/url] But that is the updated version which doesnt have a flat back, mine is like this one: [url="http://www.soundsgreatmusic.com/?appid=6972&pid=6274"]http://www.soundsgreatmusic.com/?appid=6972&pid=6274[/url] Apart from the light scuffs on the bag which you cant see with a camera it is literally as you see it in the pictures. Cheers AJ[/quote] I'll take it. M
  13. [quote name='Bassnut62' post='1114607' date='Feb 3 2011, 09:55 PM']That barge concepts dual looper sounds mad n cool. What kind of crazy sh1t can you get up to with that muttha?[/quote] Yeah its pretty cool, you have two fully independent bypassable loops that each have two blend controls and variable Z (ie resistance) to cope with active or passive instruments. The two blend controls are foot swtichable so you can set one at say 100% wet and the other at 50% wet and swtich between blends on each loop. Its very flexible!
  14. BUMP - make me an offer. THese pedals are just taking up space on my floor now!
  15. Big John Granny Puker is SOLD! Price drop on all pedals for sale by £10 for the rest of this week (payment to be received by Friday 28th 11:59pm)
  16. Yamaha NE-1 is SOLD! Offers are being accepted on the remaining pedals
  17. You could alsways use one of those cheap adapaters - the power supply itself is the same as for EU, its jsut the shape of the plug, but yeah, its not going to be a neat fit!
  18. [quote name='Bassman' post='1097331' date='Jan 21 2011, 12:03 PM']Hello, do you have the power supply for the Nova Dynamics ? Thanks[/quote] Yes, the Nova Dynamics comes with the box, manuals and power supply. Its a cool compressor, I just replaced it with a BJFE Pine Green Compressor so I don't have the need for both. The Nova Dynamics has never been used in anger - just home use! However I see you are from belguim and the TCE Power supply has a UK plug on it (FWIW).
  19. [quote name='Vibrating G String' post='1095044' date='Jan 19 2011, 12:42 PM']Really, is there anything that some expert salesman can't hear?[/quote] Their integrity flying out the window?
  20. Max at SFX has just introduced a new pedal to his "production" line of pedals, the Micro-Black Dragon (Micro-BD) and I have purchased one of the bass versions. The pedal is fairly simple in its form, its the now ubiquitous SFX micro pedal size enclosure with three knobs and a clipping swtich: Volume - this is the volume control (duh!) Tone - this is the tone control from the SFX Ultra-Tone / B3 pedal with a slight mid adjustment Distortion - this controls the amount of distortion Clipping Switch - this switch moves between two different types of distortion / clipping. One is slightly more "polite" and the other is more pronounced in the mids. (I don't know exactly the types of clipping that is used). The pedal runs of typical 9v centre negative power. Basically in talking with Max about what would be ideal in a distortion pedal, I thought something that hit right in between the dirty boost / overdrive of the Micro-Red Dragon and the smooth fuzz of the Micro-Fuzz so that if you have the three of them (like I do now) you end up covering a real range of tone from OD to Fuzz. The pedal really delivers and is a top notch little distortion unit. The tone control means that there is a lot of variety in the way the distortion sounds because it can do that wooly "blanket over the cabinet" sound (the BBBOD sound) with the tone control rolled counter-clockwise and a quite bright mid present tone with the control rolled clockwise. I generally like the tone set between 11 oclock and 2 oclock depending on the bass. It gives it a nice bias towards the low end without getting too wooly at 11 oclock or a punching "cut through the mix" mid distortion around 2oclock. The distortion control goes from a heavy OD sound (there is no "clean" sound even with the distortion dialed off) to a balls to the wall almost fuzz like sound when distortion is dimed. I find for getting a nice chunky distortion that isn't quite hitting fuzz territory I like to have it about 1 oclock with a high output bass or around 3oclock with a lower output bass. One thing worth mentioning is that this is a pedal made specifically for bass and the low end retention (like all the SFX bass pedals) is amazing. So much so that to get the distortion to cut through distorted guitar tones , I find i have to roll off the low end by turning the tone control clockwise and running a slight volume boost (without moving the tone control you just end up with too much bass in the mix!). After speaking with Max he also made a slight mid boost to the tone circuit from the ultra-tone to help the distortion cut through a mix with distorted guitars. I think that change is a big help because there is no point having a distortion unit that sounds good on its own but can't cut through a mix. The mid boost combined iwth the low end retention means this is a great choice for live use. The form factor is just a bonus. There is a photo of my PT-Mini above and basically you can get 4 of the SFX micro pedals in the space take up by two "normal" pedals. It makes using a small board for a variety of tones very achievable (if only max made a chorus I would be set with an all SFX board!) For a small pedal there is an incredible range of distortion tones, but ultimately it is a small, three knob pedal. Its not going to have the flexibility of something like the FEA Dual band in terms of tone. However, for what it does its excellent and its form factor and compatibility with other SFX pedals is great. Driving the Micro Fuzz it sounds absolutely brutal! Max has some clips up at: [url="http://www.sfxsound.co.uk/mainpage.asp?page=micro_black_dragon_b"]http://www.sfxsound.co.uk/mainpage.asp?pag..._black_dragon_b[/url] The price is about £120 I think which is about on par with what you pay in the UK for a boutique pedal and a lot less than what you pay for a lot of pedals (IIRC the AGRO here is about £159) so basically you are getting (IMO) great value for money - particularly when you think of the space saving on your board and the build quality is top notch. You would not believe how fussy Max is when it comes to build quality! I think the downside of the pedal (and its not that bigger issue) is that there is a bit of a trend at the moment towards super flexible distortion circuits with multiple bands of distortion that offer immense amounts of tinkering. If that's the kind of distortion you are after, this probably isn't the pedal for you. Like most of the SFX stuff this is build to give you excellent bass friendly tone out of the box, but without the "bunch o'knobs" that allow you to tweak every aspect of the pedal. That said, when you get the tone as right as SFX does, why tweak? In terms of the pedals that I use everyday, its the SFX stuff. I have lots of cool pedals from different manufacturers, but the board that sits under my desk for everyday use (running into my PC practice / looping rig) is the one you see in the picture with the SFX stuff. The reason is that because when you hit the bypass switch you know you are going to get an excellent bass friendly tone without the need to mods of knob tweaking. The Micro-BD is no exception and that's why I purchased it - it sound great and it does what it says on the box!
  21. [quote name='LawrenceH' post='1090591' date='Jan 15 2011, 04:24 PM']Fair play to them for giving it a crack as there will be some good combos in there but it's not going to live up to their own hype and revolutionise the bass world![/quote] I get the distinct impression using it on basses is an afterthought (it's a wiring circuit, why not?), but this will hopefully pay dividends for them in the guitar market where the sonic differences may be more meaningful.
  22. [quote name='Musicman20' post='1090549' date='Jan 15 2011, 03:51 PM']As per most the new EBMM offerings (apart from the Classic series) they are trying to get away from the 50s/60s mindset that's continued forever of 'must have Fender P/J for everything'.[/quote] It would be a fairly silly business model for them if they were trying to encourage a P/J for everything (since they don't make one). That said, instruments are tools for making music and companies should make the tools that best help the artists produce their art. If the artists are crying out for 250,000 pickup wiring combinations, then an instrument maker better bring that to market (as EBMM have done). However, if the ones making the music feel that a simple P or J is the best tool for the job, why move from that mindset? That's my take on the Gamechanger, its clearly not for me because i've always felt that minutia difference in tone between pickup wiring configurations didn't add to the music I wanted to make. Some musicians probably think it will. That's why its good to have options (albeit calling it a "gamechanger" is a bit naff). Lets revisit this in a year and see how much the game has changed.
