Price drop to £70 per board. -
For sale - Two Pedaltrain pedalboards. Both are the same dimensions, width and depth-wise - 24 x 12.5 inches. Sold! The PT-2 is the older model. A slightly flatter profile, with ports at the back for power supply plugs to fit through. Some drill holes in the rear for previous power supplies (fits a Voodoo Lab 4x4) and some dual-lock left behind from a Voodoo Lab x4. Carry case comes with a shoulder strap and useful front pocket. SOLD!! The Classic 2 is the newer model. A slightly taller profile, with an open rail at the back for power supply plugs to fit through. Again, some drill holes in the rear for previous power supplies (fits a Voodoo Lab 4x4). Carry case comes with a shoulder strap, but no front pocket (strangely, a removed feature on later models. Power supplies/brackets are NOT included in sale! Boards with their respective cases are £65 each delivered. Can do a deal if both bought together.

Hi guys, been playing around with the MXR Clone Looper for some ambient stuff and generally pretty happy with it. Just got a query about the external foot switch controls you can add. One input allows a foot switch to control speed and reverse controls. No problem there, but the other allows EITHER a foot switch for a ‘play once’ function OR an expression pedal for control of the loop volume. Both these controls are pretty useful. Is there a way of linking this up to have access to both?

Hi guys and gals, ive got a friend looking for a bass tutor for someone just starting out. Obviously, no meeting in person at the moment anyway, but face-to-face would be the ideal once lockdown starts easing. Ideally Portsmouth, or southern-Hampshire, based. If you, or anyone you know provides one-to-one teaching in the area, could you PM me details to pass on? Cheers!

Did a bit of shielding work today. Bit of a messy job (first time needing to do this!), but seems to have done the trick. Minimal buzzing now.
-
No, nothing so far. Being playing around for a month or so now. Only issue is quite a lot of hum. I’m getting some shielding foil soon and will open it up to shield the cavities and check out the grounding in the next couple of weeks.

Exercise book - Scales from Rhythm and Outer Space... aka Tetra Cocktails by Felix Pastorius. Brand new and unused (unfortunate duplicated Christmas present!). £25 (or best offer) delivered, or trade for ‘Just ASIP of Coffee & The Chromatic Scale’. -
£30 delivered! -
Wouldn't have a clue I'm afraid...
-
This gets surprisingly close, but has its own thing going on. Bit more of a mid-mid punch, rather than the low-mid tone of the P-bass. Plus, I already have a Precision... 🙂
-
It was a bit of a blind buy, as I had no choice but to order online, but been doing a fair bit of recording where a flat wound-strung short scale was the sound I was aiming for.

So yeah, playing around with this today... It’s lacking a few inches off my other basses (feels really tiny!), but not missing any bottom end! I’m not big fan of signature instruments, or ‘relic’d’ basses really, but this one has excellent specs that I believe outweigh its price tag. Plus, Fender and Justin Meldal-Johnsen haven’t done any silly faffing with the concept. JMJ’s just got a really nice Mustang that they’ve cloned... Bit of a nervous wait for delivery (have always picked out an instrument in person before, but that’s really not an option right now...), but no major issues identified from its transit! Will need to have a look into some shielding paint/foil to counter 60-cycle hum at some point, but that seems to be fairly typical of these instruments.

I would say the OC-5 has more bottom end (and considerably more volume) than the OC-2. Its a smoother octave, which some might prefer. To my ears, the OC-2 has something more going on in the mid frequencies that makes it seem fuller, even if it doesn’t go as deep as the OC-5. It’s a considerable step up from the OC-3, but I’m going to stay hoping for an OC-2w...
-
Mine just arrived today so running some comparisons... It’s a fun pedal, but still OC-2 > OC-5
-
Not done with the Markbass, but check out around 5:38 in this video. It’s a similar Moog-ish Bass tone. Afraid I’ve no idea re the programming of the Super Synth, but you want to be looking for an octave down, light gain, a downward filter and (maybe) chorus. Interested to hear how it turns out!
-
Initial thoughts are that the Octabvre nails the OC-2 tone and feel, but that was really expected. Surprise was how close the Valeton is too. The MXR is close, tone-wise, but the ‘improved’ tracking makes it play slightly differently. However, it has its own thing going on and I actually prefer it to the Boss with the Oct-1 soloed. Any other recommendations for OC-2-alikes...?
-
Well, my OC-5 is delayed, but other tryouts are going well...
