How does the Okto side compare to the Boss OC-2? -
NOW SOLD !!! AGUILAR OCTAMIZER Price drop. Now £95
iamtheelvy replied to P-ZARN's topic in Effects For Sale
Out of interest, is this the older version, with the ridge at the bottom of the casing, or the later, flat-bottomed version? Thanks! -
Still available! -
Now sold! -
I preordered, but Andertons have pushed back their expected delivery date to the end of October now!
-
Currently still available!

Can be, and you do have to be a bit cautious. I would say you couldn't go far wrong with the East stuff as a preamp. They're pretty good value for what you get and their Uni-Pre range will fit inside pretty much any bass (check the cavity space first!). Bonus is that they are solderless, so you can wire up a set of pickups and, if they really don't work for you, you can take them out again without major surgery!

Highly rate the Aguilar stuff. Pickups are great, but you've got to know your wiring to install their preamps, or have it done professionally. John East stuff is great for a quick drop-in solderless wiring solution (but don't do pickups). EMG certainly do the whole lot as one package. Couldn't comment on what they're like though. Ultimately, whilst an all-in-one solution would be nice, it's probably best to mix and match your pickups and preamp depending on your setup to avoid limited option.

Well, update on this - Managed to get hold of one of these and install it the other day. The preamp sounds great but is a fiddly fit. Very tight in the cavity of my bass, so be aware of that. I played round with it for a few days but decided that the passive route was the way to go for this bass, so have gone back to the simple set up. Would definitely consider this if i was building from scratch, or if a bass had a pre-routed battery compartment. Pretty much brand new J-tone is now up in the marketplace!

Used a few in different bands and styles: Aguilar Tone Hammer DI - My go-to all rounder. Great clean (dirty if you push it) tones with a bit of a classic vintage edge. Sadowsky Pre - Only have the SDP-2 model, but a nice (and very simple) preamp for a basic clean tone. EBS Microbass ii - Does it all! More of a modern clean tone, but has a mixable dirty channel / AB channel selecter , FX loop, tuner out (built in tuner and compresser if you buy the mark iii too!) Tech 21 Sansamp - Classic rock tones. The most colouring of my preamps, but in the right mix its a great colour!

Yes. Show... Well, everyone stay at home, wear your masks etc. Maybe we’ll be back up to speed by this time next year...

Great! DM me your details and lets get it sorted!

An active ABY splitter box from Brighton-based Bright Onion Pedals. Select either output or both together. Ground/phase switches eliminate any phasing issues from the split signal. £40 delivered. -
A simple AB loop box from Brighton-based Bright Onion Pedals. One bypass switch and one to flip-flop between the two bypass loops. Works perfectly. £28 delivered.
-
A compact three-loop bypass looper from Brighton-based Bright Onion Pedals. Nice and simple. Works perfectly. £30 delivered. -
A six-switch bypass loop from Brighton-based Bright Onion Pedals. Ordered for a projected but never used in the end. All LEDs are blue when on. All works perfectly. NOTE: The input and output connectors for the loops are the far right jack sockets, not at each end as normal. All loops then follow send/return in sequence. This was a particular setup I want, but may not suit everyone. £60 delivered. -
TC Electronic Polytune Mini. Last time I used this, the footswitch gave way and disappeared into the casing. Have tried to repair this, but cannot make it switch on/off. As far as I’m aware, the tuner circuit is all fine. Sure someone can repair it, but this will not work out of the box! £20 delivered. -
Line 6 M5 multi-effects unit. Great pedal when it’s working! This one has a short somewhere on the casing. Works perfectly when the case is removed... I don’t use it enough to be bothered to fix it, but should be a simple fix if you know what you’re doing. Come with original power supply. Please be aware if buying - it won’t work directly out of the box! £30 delivered. -
Fender Jazz Bass pickups out of a ‘99 American Jazz Bass. Well used, but working and sounding great. Only replaced in favour of hum-cancellers. Measurements are approx (+/- some fractions of a mm): 94 x 18mm Bridge 92 x 18mm Middle/neck £60 delivered.
-
American series bass bridge, circa 1999. Well used but in good condition. Comes with original screws. Three-point screw connection. THIS IS THROUGH-BODY STRINGING ONLY! you cannot string through the rear of the bridge itself. £20 delivered.
-
A brand new John East UK J-Tone preamp. Fresh out the box. I’ve wired this up and tested it, and all works perfectly, but have decided to stick with the passive circuit, so this is effectively new. Comes with original packaging, instructions and replacement tone caps. £120 delivered. -
I’m not holding my breath... That said, I am around and would check it out if they told me how to...
-
Well, it’s two days to go to the “virtual” show taking place on Music Radar (apparently). No info on what or or how it’s happening...

Bought my first loom from John this week. Arrived today and was installed in a matter of minutes. Nice clear instructions (matched up to the specific pickups I’ve got installed) and tool provided to pull it all together. Seems to work a treat!
