Sold a pedal to Marek, flawless deal and cool guy!
-
Aw man, I missed the video! Hopefully I'll catch it the second time around

TAFM sold pending payment, just leaves the Blower Box, which I kind of expected to be the first to go! -
[quote name='stevetut' timestamp='1408463317' post='2530449'] Just wanted to share pictures of my T40. I bought it last year from Ken Achard; it was presented to Ken by Hartley Peavey..... Made of magnolia, no scratchplate, figured maple neck and serial no 007. It is immaculate and apart from some setting up plays perfectly. I play it every day..... [/quote] Oooooft, very nice! I picked up a white one earlier this year and I LOVE it!
-
Ooft! That's a bit of a bargain
-
Dropped the prices on the other two

B:assmaster is sold pending payment!

[quote name='Lebowsky' timestamp='1408108353' post='2527212'] I found the swllen pickle very difficult to use. There are internals controls (yes, you have to open the pedal) which are necessary to tweak for it to sound great on bass. On top of that, I always found very hard to "find back" a tones liked using only the outside controls, because they all affect each others a lot. Of course you might be much more persevering than me, but I like pedals which are easy to dial in. [/quote] That would put me off too, I almost pulled the trigger on a recent revision of the SP that had all the controls external but too many things to tweak is a nightmare for me, I'm too stupid/indecisive

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1408115594' post='2527297'] I'm even tempted by the TAFM, because mine doesn't have light up eyes! [/quote] Marketing genius! People buying things they already have for light up eyes! I jest, but I did actually pay quite a lot to get this particular one from the US rather than getting one without light up eyes more locally

[quote name='RaNoFuNkY' timestamp='1408113934' post='2527280'] Ooooh! Is the B:Assmaster germanium or silicon pal? [/quote] This is the germanium version I believe someone else on here is selling a silicon one, spoiled for choice at basschat!

[quote name='mattyb' timestamp='1408101982' post='2527089'] I'm tempted by both fuzzes! I'll be spending my lunch youtubing clips to try to decide [/quote] Well, if it helps, I have a few thoughts on the comparison of the two: The TAFM is much more versatile, when I first got it I was using it after the Blower Box using the blend to mix the aggressive Rat sound with some thick fuzz but more recently I've been using it as a sort of slightly fuzzy dirty boost into a BB pre! Also, Dannybuoy pointed out to me that you can turn off the buffer on the clean signal with a couple of switches inside the unit, which gives even more sounds, I really dig the buffer off for the slightly lighter fuzz at the start of the chain. Also, light up eyes. The B:assmaster simply sounds awesome, this video had me sold: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12eBJIUd_1E In short, if I was using one single pedal I'd probably take the B:assmaster, but the TAFM lets you get creative!
-
Not had much experience with the Deluxe Bass Big Muff but the Swollen Pickle is a very highly regarded bass fuzz, MASSIVE low end on that thing!

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1408094765' post='2526980'] The Blower Box is the best RAT made for bass, and the TAFM is the finest bass fuzz to have ever been created. These shouldn't hang around long! [/quote] See... Now I want to keep them! Nah, amazing pedals but unfortunately in need of the cash! The B:assmaster is no slouch either, the TAFM covers a lot of ground but it can't pull off that sound! Cheers Dan

[b]Idiotbox Blower Box £SOLD[/b] Rat clone with great bass retention and [b]light up eyes[/b]! Bought this direct from Idiotbox a few months ago, light use around the home and one rehearsal so it's as new apart from velcro on the bottom. Unfortunately I used the box it came in for another pedal I sold so no longer have that. [url="http://idiotboxeffects.bigcartel.com/product/blower-box-bass-distortion"]http://idiotboxeffec...bass-distortion[/url] [b]Smallsound/Bigsound Team Awesome! Fuzz Machine £SOLD[/b] Very versatile fuzz pedal, bought this from a nice chap from the US on talkbass.com, it's got some really nice limited edition artwork with [b]light up eyes[/b]! It's in great condition with velcro on the bottom. [url="http://www.smallsoundbigsound.com/products/team-awesome-fuzz-machine/"]http://www.smallsoun...e-fuzz-machine/[/url] [b]Malekko Germanium B:assmaster £SOLD[/b] Picked this up on here recently, handily rehoused in a smaller encolsure by Nando FX (original box not shown but also comes with it, message me if you want a pic). Had a faulty footswitch when I got it which I have replaced, put in a couple of jumper cables on the bottom of the PCB to make sure a couple of the connections were solid, I've put up a photo of this, works great and not had a problem with it since. No light up eyes.

Any other questions, just let me know My feedback can be found here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/200799-plunkrocks-feedback/page__p__2292224__hl__feedback%20for%20plunkrock__fromsearch__1#entry2292224"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2292224[/url]

I'm not sure I would ever have thought of using the volume on the bass. I think I have a problem, damn pedals!
-
If your budget is £50 or under, maybe a Boss bass EQ would be good, has the level control but if you're soloing you might want to do a bit of EQ tweaking too! They pop up here pretty regularly around £40/45. Otherwise, as mentioned above, the LPB-1 is a good simple boost

[quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1406233143' post='2509685'] let us know how that pedal works out for you - had very VERY mixed results from Ry's pedals, from utterly amazing to utter meh. but the fuzz wars clip of this pedal made me very interested, so please do post your thoughts! [/quote] +1! The fuzz wars clip of this was great, I'd be interested to hear how it goes. Don't think anyone else on here has taken the plunge with one?
-
2 sansamp pedals, interesting! Do you stack them or swap between the two?

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1406192994' post='2509124'] Just make sure you call her Shannon when you actually talk to either of them [/quote] Oops! My bad
-
Cool! Hope it's good man, sounds great in demos I've heard

[quote name='elephantgrey' timestamp='1406153690' post='2508947'] Is three an advantage of this over having the tuner in the daisy chain? i always thought it was for powering just one other pedal. [/quote] I think the power just routes through so essentially just the same, I've ran the official boss daisy chain to a few pedals out of a TU-2 and now use a daisy chain that the PSU plugs straight in to, both so the job fine! I think when you start with fancy digital pedals and the like you need to look at good power supplies, all my pedals are analogue dirt and draw very little current.

I've had a few direct from fuzzrocious and yeah it takes a while and there is import tax. Depends on what options you pick though, hand painted takes the longest but I think I read that Sharon is doing pedals full time now so maybe that gap has closed a bit. Joespedals.com has some fuzzrocious stuff in the UK, I've ordered from him and it was great!

[quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1406121150' post='2508511'] And this pedal waaaaaas... what? Glad you've got it fixed though! [/quote] Haha, sorry - it was a rehoused Malekko B:Assmaster, bought from here and damaged in transit!
