A Jaydee Supernatural. It was the late 80's. I camped out outside the Bass Centre in Wapping for 2 nights waiting for them to open on a Monday to get the yellow one they had in a January sale. Back then that area was rough as f*ck. The bass was £400, half price and well worth braving the cold and Wapping for. I had the cash in my back pocket and in my jacket I had the leg from a mic stand ready in case anyone tried to mug me. Some cops from the nearby station pulled up on the first night wondering what I was doing. Once I'd explained why I was there they let me come to the station day & night for free coffee refills in my flask. It all worked out fine and I got the bass.

I just sold a pedal to Kevin. He's Been a pleasure to deal with, great comms and prompt payment. Recommended. Thanks Kevin.

I picked up a 60s CV P here last year and straight off the bat it became my main gigging bass. It sounds amazing and plays beautifully. The only major thing I changed was putting a J neck on it.

I'll catch up with that later. I was having a discussion with a guitarist recently about a particular song key. He said it was in C but I was arguing it was A minor. Anyhow, after a good banter about it I told him to play whichever chord he wanted to, because when I played my note underneath, I'd be the one deciding which chord it would be. That's one of the reasons how important the bass is in music.

T-16 is still up for grabs.

It didn't last long did it! Nice hint Lee, but I'm not letting go of the Aftershock just yet

The Blueberry is now sold.

You were right guys, the Blueberry didn't last long! It's sold subject to payment. The T-16 is still up for grabs.

COG T-16 - SOLD I've just upgraded to a T-65 so this lovely octave is now surplus to my requirements. This is a very versatile octaver packed into a small 1590A enclosure, so it doesn't eat up much pedal board real estate. The controls are Clean Volume, Octave Down Volume & Octave Down Filter. The tracking really is fabulous and the filter gives a wide variety of octave down tones. Here's the link to the COG page for all the info and video reviews from Mr Excane & BassTheWorld.com: http://www.cogeffects.co.uk/t-16-octave.php This pedal is in immaculate condition and comes in its original box. It has Velcro on the base. The price is £110 shipped anywhere in the UK on a recorded service. BEARFOOT BLUEBERRY - SOLD I really love this pedal but it's not getting used much these days. It can do subtle low gain all the way up to high gain. And with the Nature knob you can go from full on low end growl to high end bite, and everything in between. A great all rounder that's had a lot of love here recently. Link to the Beafoot page for more info and video reviews from Mike Hermans, Lance Seymour and others: http://www.bearfootfx.com/store/overdrives/blueberry-bass-overdrive/ It has had lots of use, and unfortunately it's got some scratches & dings and one larger paint chip on the front edge. These are shown in the pictures and reflected in the asking price. It doesn't come with the original box, and it has Velcro on the base. The price is £60 shipped anywhere in the UK on a recorded service.

I've had a DL1608 for 18 months now and I still love using it. I've never had a failure of any kind, no wifi dropouts, it is brilliant.

PM'd.

Somebody I know is likely to need a 4 piece band to cover a function gig in the Aberdeen area on Saturday September 10th. Decent money on offer for this one. Are any of you guys in Scotland able to help out here? Cheers.

Stay away from Alaska Studios. As has already been said, the place stinks (I thought it was damp when I was there) and their gear is old & knackered. They are ridiculously expensive too.

Cmon then Andy, give us a review of it then

Octave alert!! Three new octave pedals about to be released from COG. The T-70 looks tasty..... http://www.cogeffects.co.uk/t-47-octave.php?mc_cid=93c37c3132&mc_eid=030df6b76b http://www.cogeffects.co.uk/t-65-octave.php?mc_cid=93c37c3132&mc_eid=030df6b76b http://www.cogeffects.co.uk/t-70-octave.php?mc_cid=93c37c3132&mc_eid=030df6b76b

I've found the space to add my Ginger to my small board, which has now become my main board, I love it. 4 Diago risers on the back have helped me squeeze 9 pedals onto this Metro 20. Happy days.

I sold a scratch plate to Jono. Nice guy with great comms.

When there isn't a DJ I use Spotify. It doesn't beat match or anything fancy like that, but there's an option to reduce the time gap between songs which means if it's set right as one song ends the next one starts pretty much straight away. Some songs with long fade outs don't work so well with this but I've ended up cutting those from my playlists.

I have two digital pedals on my board. A G30 which is first, and a Source Audio Gemini in last place. Absolutely no noise issues powering them with my 1 Spot.
-
My small board has 9 pedals crammed on it. I power that lot with a regular 1 Spot and I don't have any noise issues.

Bass dep needed, Aug 27th, function near High Wycombe.
ratman replied to ratman's topic in Bassists Wanted
All sorted now. Thanks for the PMs. -
For octave, my COG T-16 is stunning. My old DOD FX-35 Octoplus can sound very close to an OC-2, with the added benefit of a tone control to sweep between synthy and warm sounds.

Bass dep needed, Aug 27th, function near High Wycombe.
ratman replied to ratman's topic in Bassists Wanted
No worries, thanks anyhow Tim. -
I need to find a quality dep for a function gig in the High Wycombe area on August 27th. Material is the usual function stuff, but this band does put their own funky twist on some of the grooves. I can supply links to their videos so you can see what they're about, and I hope you'd be happy to do a bit of preparation for this gig. The pay is £150. Shout me if you're interested. Thanks.
