Hi all

I've got some half-wound strings on a 4-string that just sound fantastic but I don't know what they are. They have black silks at both the ball end and the tuning post end and they have brass ball ends. Standard scale.

They're definitely not GHS.

There can't be that many brands of halfwounds out there with black silk both ends. Are they possibly obsolete Status halfwounds?

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Sean

Thanks for looking. 

Please ask if you have questions. 

An absolute bargain. The pickups in these are just incredible. 

I wouldn't be without one. There's something magical about them that you just can't get with solid state. I have a Laney Nexus Tube 400 that is an absolute peach, very versatile and was my default gigging amp. It's heavy but it does everything well and has great EQ. You can pick them up for about £500 but they don't come up often. 

My Mesa 400+ gets to go out occasionally, it's lighter, uses caps to give big transients and is probably the lightest even though it sits in a custom case made by Matamp. It's also the one that does the cleanest sounds although the EQ is not intuitive and the DI out will upset most soundmen... it's a Mesa. 

I also have a custom MJW 200 which is like a Matamp. It's the bedroom amp of the 3 as it has clever power switching options and can be switched down to about 40w so you can rag it at home without affecting the structural integrity of the neighbourhood. 

I also have a hybrid Mesa Walkabout Scout, it's good but it's like a toy compared to the valve amps. 

In Summary, they're all very different and all have their pluses and minuses. If you're serious, try out different ones before you push the button. One thing they have in common, though, especially the big ones like the Laney and say a Marshall 400, is the cost of revalving, servicing. Mesa 400+ servicing needs to be done by someone that knows those amps but most of the others can be done by any good amp tech. 

Give one a go, you won't regret it. 

I can vouch for that rig, I've heard it live and up close and was so impressed I commissioned MJW (ex-Matamp) to build me a clone (but with some weird options Jeff wouldn't do). Funnily, it was seeing Tim's old 400+ in action that led me to buy Beedster's. Small world. 

Also, Tim's a diamond geezer. 

I sold  a pedal to Brian. Totally hassle-free and he let me know as soon as it arrived. Nice touch.

A cracking set of UK-made Jazz Bass pickups from the people who took over the Wizard business.

Loads of vintage cloth wire on these. 

£5 postage to UK Mainland.

Sitting neatly between our '64 and '84 set in tone and output, the best way to describe this '74 set is 'vintage hot'. Take all the clarity and depth associated with a good vintage Jazz bass pickup, and add a dollop of extra girth and output for a truly versatile and tone-packed pickup set.

Never used. Budget noise gate. I can't even find anything on line about it and i can't remember how it came to be in my house.

Hi all

Here's a Cog Tarkin Fuzz for salwe.

Postage First Class Signed For UK Mainland (excl. Highlands and isalnds) £9

from the website:

Tarkin Fuzz

Smaller, better, meaner. The Tarkin mk2 is based on the Green Russian, just like the mk1, great for the bass guitar and thick guitar sounds, but this time it's squeezed into the pedalboard-friendly 1590A enclosure. It'll do the classic, smooth fuzz sound we all know and love, but it will also do a lot more than that.

Increase the Fuzz knob for more sustain and distortion. The Tone knob takes you from deep rumbling wool through to nasty ice-pick fizz. Bass players will likely not venture past the 2 o'clock point without physical abuse from bandmates, but it's there if you need it.

The LPF and HPF switches adjust the corner frequencies of the filters that make up the Tone control, allowing you to add low- and high-mids respectively. These controls help cut through a live mix and give you the option to add more punch to your fuzz sound. As you would expect, these switches interact with the Tone knob, so experimentation is highly encouraged.

Inside you'll find switches to adjust the two clipping stages. In position 1, the clipping is smoother, and in position 2 the clipping has more bite. You can also remove the clipping diodes from either stage using these switches.

Overall, this tiny terror will fit on any pedalboard and is an extremely versatile fuzz box for guitar and bass.

* Fuzz, Tone and Level controls provide a range of fuzz tones

* LPF and HPF allow classic Green Russian tones or more cutting tones

* Internal switches adjust clipping flavour and can remove diodes 

* 2.1mm Boss-style 9v DC input (power supply not included)

* True Bypass Switching

* Die-cast Aluminium Hammond 1590A box

Hi all

Here's a Cog T16 Analogue Octaver.

Royal Mail Postage Signed For @ £9

Here's the spec

T-16 Analogue Octave

Huge analogue octave tones, tiny enclosure. The T-16 is the smallest analogue octave pedal around, yet still has the flexibility and tone to run with the big boys. As well as level controls for the clean signal and octave down signal, a variable Filter control (like the one on the T-16's big brother, the T-65) is included to allow shaping of the octave down signal from buzzy and synthy through to fat sub tones and everything in between. Find the right octave tone for your sound and your rig. 

The T-16 is built to last, with all jacks panel-mounted rather than PCB-mounted, and features true bypass switching. No need to compromise on size, on quality, or on tone. Awesome. 

* Clean and Down level controls are independent

* Filter allows you to shape your octave down tone

* 2.1mm Boss-style 9v DC input (power supply not included)

* Built into the tiny Hammond 1590A aluminium enclosure

* True Bypass

Hi all

I have a Knightfall 66 for sale. Not being at the moment so there's a long wait apparently. It's ot really been used much. It has velcro on the bottom.

Postage 1st signed for UK mainland (excl. Highlands and Islands): £9

Payment by PayPal or Bank Transfer please.

here's the spec from the website:

Knightfall 66 Bass Overdrive

Designed, tweaked, changed, changed back, tweaked some more, one more change and finally released - the Knightfall 66 has been a long time coming. Capable of providing fat cleans, old school mid-heavy growl, all the way through to high gain overdrive, the Knightfall 66 is the drive pedal you need on your bass pedalboard. 

Two separate Gain controls can be switched with the A/B footswitch, and each Gain control also has a Level control to allow balancing between the two drive settings. The Voice knob adjusts pre-gain low end providing additional control over the shape of the overdrive, and the Tone control cuts high end after the clipping circuit giving a broad sweep from dark through to very bright. 

The clean channel is filtered in a similar way to the Grand Tarkin's clean channel and designed to properly blend with the drive channel - rather than sounding "side-by-side", the two channels integrate for a more natural tone. 

The Knightfall 66 can be powered up to 18v for increased headroom and dynamic feel.

* A/B footswitch gives different Gain settings without losing balance of levels

* Filtered clean blend allows extensive sound shaping in conjunction with Gain, Voice and Tone

* 2.1mm Boss-style 9v-18v DC input (power supply not included)

* North-mounted jacks to reduce pedalboard footprint

* True Bypass

* Die-cast Aluminium box
