    Still arguably Boss’ best bass multi FX. It has the dual signal chains that the ME90 lacks. The algorithms are ancient by today’s standard, but as a catch all fx machine it hard to beat. When powered on can be seen from space (it is littered with blue LED’s - remember when that was a thing!) Comes with its original power supply and a tatty but functional Gator soft case. Oh and I had it serviced about 6 months ago so it’s all working nicely. Happy to demo here in London N21 or postage is an option (included in the price). Happy to knock off a tenner for collection.

    Edit - £100 or trades for pedals? Short scale 30” bass. I bought this new a few years ago to put on a Roland GK hex pickup hence the two screw holes either side of the bridge. I also managed to knock one of the tuners and dislodge the elephant ear. I spent a few months looking for the right tuner to replace it, when I found a guy on Facebook MP selling the neck (including tuners) for next to nothing. I modded it a little but for fun - it has a daft (and very easy to remove) competition stripe sticker. It came with Jazz bass style knobs (which I have somewhere and will include) which I replaced with some push on black metal jobs I would say the pickups sound really good on this and they have a good hot output. NOTE: the 2nd neck has one broken tuner (the E string one), you can just see it in the pics. I now have another bass which has the GK pickup so this is now up for grabs. Cheap as chips, might be good for a beginner or a modder - fretted and fretless? Collection only at he moment, demos welcome here in London N21, although its in desperate need of a new set of strings!

    Now Sold - Price drop! £130 Some 10 years ago I was suddenly hit by the the most debilitating Trace Elliot GAS brought on by my yearning for Trace gear as a teenager. I bought a 2x15 Trace cab, a GP12SMX pre amp and a Trace Power amp. To pair with this monumental rig, I came across this cab which was (according to my old Trace brochures) the perfect companion for the 2x15 as it featured two 5" inch drivers from the bright boxes! It was fun for about 10 minutes until I had to hire a transit van and some very muscular people to lift it into venues for me. I sold all the other bits ages ago, but couldn't let this go for some reason? Now I've finally come to my senses a decided to part with it. Full disclosure when I originally bought it, both the voice coils had gone on the 10" drivers. After some discussion with the incredibly helpful people at Celestion I was advised just to replace both the 10's with modern equivalents: Celestion BL10-200S 16ohm 200watt 10" bass drivers. needless to say it sounds excellent if not better than it started? Note - my old Trace brochures are not included in the sale, nor is the ELF! they are just there for the porn of it. Collection/demo from me here in North London N21 I'll even give you a hand to the car as its a weighty beast.

    As per the pics, good old heavy duty flight case from the 90's. Really need the space at the moment so free to anyone who can collect it from me here in London N21 - Just off the A10

    Space is at a premuim here so off goes another larger item. I bought this new a few years ago when I was supplying the PA for a lot of function gigs (That said it only went out with me a handfull of times as I had a pair of Yamaha DXR 15" as tops). It performed admirably and provide the well needed thump to the band. Its now probably been at least 18 months since I've used it so time to move it on. GOOD: Its in good, but obviously used condition. Its loud - we only ever needed one sub with the fella going. It works great with a pair of ALTO tops to make a compete PA. It comes with the ALTO branded soft cover too. BAD: It is seriously heavy - I've moved it on my own several times, but its much easier with two of you! price is fairly firm, but try me! Collection only please from North London - N21. Happy to demo before you take it, I'll even give you a hand to the car! I'll include the "No Drinks" sign for free and maybe even the wheel board if I'm feeling generous on the day?

    3.4kg according to my bathroom scales. Not sure how accurate they are, but that’s what they say.

    Sold Tom a Boss FZ-2. Really easy deal. Quick payment and great comms throughout. Highly recommend.

    Utilitarian is how I would describe Boss, but with an 80’s aesthetic.

    Great unit, I still have mine. It has some unique features.

    I’m a big Boss fan and so I’ve just taken the leap and bought one. It arrived today and whilst in comparison to the HX ONE it doesn’t have as many models, it does sound really good - I mean very good, exactly like the pedals it models. I A/B it with several of the original pedals (including the much revered OC-2) and it’s bang on. Having spent a bit of time with it on guitar and bass, I think the concept has some merit. The user interface is straightforward enough and the idea of having a bunch of Boss pedals in one unit appeals. I think what Boss went for on its launch was to make a digital pedal to very accurately replicate a list of hard to find/collectable/unobtainable pedals that the fans (like me) would be interested in and intentionally preyed on the nostalgia of these rare compacts. Where I think this will work better for the general pedal buying population is when they have a lot of the more modern pedals as well - I’d imagine porting Boss compacts that are already digital to this platform will be very easy. And so you can pick your favourite 16 (albeit having spent a few quid) and have them ready to go at a moments notice. I still don’t like the micro transaction aspect of this pedal, but I am interested to see where Boss takes it, will we end up with new pedals that you can only have via the PX-1 platform? Things could get very interesting then.

    These are going ‘bayward tomorrow so hit me up with offers today if you have any? 🤞
  15. NoirBass
    That’s in fantastic condition too. I couldn’t agree more - plug in a P bass and you’re in vintage tone heaven.

    *SOLD* Don't really want to sell this because it looks so cool and sounds great, however I'm getting swamped in gear here so off it goes. Often described as the poor mans B-15 this 90's Made in the USA B100r gives you all the vintage tone you need in a solid state package. I used it on a couple of Motown tribute shows and it was excellent. I did have 2 of these and sold the other one a few years back. This is the one I kept as it was all original, the handle and speaker cloth are in very nice condition. It even has the original (and working) blue lamp. Overall its in good condition, but its does show signs of age as its nearly 30! Its just been fully serviced, it comes with casters and a Roqsolid cover that I had made for it. At this stage I'm after collection only so happy to demo it here in London N21 Any questions please ask

    Now Sold. Next up is a Squier Affinity Jaguar H Bass in Charcoal frost. I was attempting to create a medium scale Stingray on a budget with this - which I think I achieved, It certainly sounds like one. Mods - Aguilar AG-4M Alnico V pickup, Retrovibe Stinger '77 pre amp, Fender Hi-mass bridge, battery compartment, new control plate and knurled knobs. I have all the original parts so am happy to put I back to fully stock (although it will still have the rout and battery compartment installed) Or sell it with all the mods. Its barely been used so is in nice condition although it does have a slight bit of discoloration on the back of the neck = See pics. Modded price - £250 Stock Price - £120 Very happy to demo here in London N21 Collection only at this stage, I may change my mind?

    Now SOLD! Up for grabs is an early 90's Steinberger Spirit XZ-2. This is the Korean made version, passive with wooden body. I used it as a full scale travel bass as it fit in a guitar gig bag and it is really nice and light. I've just given it a fresh set of double ball end strings and its all good to go. Some minor dinks on the body and some discoloration on the back of the working end of the neck - see pics, but otherwise stock. Very happy for demos here in London N21 - Winchmore Hill. Collection only at this stage, but I may change my mind,

    £180 posted! Boss Dual Cube Bass LX, bought for a project (one gig!) playing bass Uke when it sat on a table and ran off its batts. Never used again since (Other than to test before sale). before you ask, no it won’t keep up with a Heavy metal covers band on a gig, but it is a decent practice amp and could be used (as I did) on small acoustic gigs or even a campfire jam if that’s your bag? With the addition of the Bluetooth adapter (not included) you can access the app and program the LX to your hearts content. Add a footswitch (also not included) you can turn effects on and off, starts/stop the inbuilt drum machine or start stop the inbuilt looper. This unit is in immaculate/brand new condition with all the packaging and candy - manual, boss PSU, mini jack cable. I’ll include UK postage in the price too. Any questions please ask.

    It set the volume on mine to about 1:00. That seems about unity when I bypass it.
  22. NoirBass
    Start with you bass straight into the amp and then add each pedal individually (one by one) until you recreate the fault.
  23. NoirBass
    I’ve always wanted one of these - fighting to resist as I’m very much in the same situation with having more stock that I can possibly play! Now if I can find another acoustic gig maybe I can justify it?
  24. NoirBass
    That is bonkers! 😜
  25. NoirBass
    Ah - Oops! I’ll bring some PG!
