Have really wanted one of these for a while! Alas, the bank account is not healthy enough at present 😢 -
Just over 9lbs

Here we have an absolutely immaculate Guy Pratt "Betsy" bass. The bass belongs to my dad, and I'm selling it here for him. Bought brand new last year and has hardly been used since, the bass comes with the original gigbag, and he even still has the original shipping box, so postage is possible too. The only reason for the sale is he's just bought an early 70's Rick and needs to recoup some of the cost! Here are the specs: BODY Classic Burgundy Mist finish, with period-accurate, mint-green scratchplate NECK Satin finish Bass Centre "Super Slim Sixties"® maple neck with Maccasar ebony fingerboard PICKUPS EMG Active J pickups BRIDGE Retro roller bridge with knurled saddles for string width adjustment HARDWARE Engraved Chrome Neck Plate, Chrome Control Plate, Vintage style Black Control Knobs EXTRAS Bass Centre padded gig bag I've played it and it's a wonderful instrument. Some great tones to be had, and plays really nicely. Weighs in at just over 9lbs. These are £600 odd new, and this is as new, so save yourself a few quid!

Just put my spare V1 up for sale if anyone fancies trying one.
-
Up for sale is my 1st Gen Backbeat in Black. It’s in excellent condition, having only been used sparingly as a backup, or on gigs where I use a second bass (maybe 1% of my gigs 🤣) and has lived in its own foam cutout in my peli case. Comes with the charger, and the original box and soft case, I think I have the original patch lead too. Pics coming soon. Collection welcome from Windsor, or I can post at buyer’s expense. -
A little off topic, but anyone here fancy repairing a Future Impact for me? It has a dodgy pot, so I bought the correct replacement, and then managed to knock a little SMD component off while trying to remove the old pot. I've never delved into the SMD world but I know a few of you DIY'ers have, so thought I would ask here!

Please stop. You’re making me regret selling my old one even more! 😩

@lee650 If you can't get those two extra pedals on that board, you're not trying hard enough
-
I used to leave it in the “On” position and just power the board up and down as normal. Now I think about it, I had to make a little riser for it because of the battery door locking mechanism. Regarding the bypass, yes it could sound pretty cool. However, I always found that to have the gain control where I wanted it when the pedal was on, it made the clean signal far too quiet when it was off, so it always lived in a true bypass loop when I had it. My favourite mode was LP, with the “Up” filter, Range on Low, Peak at around 75% and Gain set to where the filter opens just a bit when you play normally, and then wide open when you dig in. For the bass I was using at the time, that was around 30-40%. Classic envelope squelch!
-
Probably my favourite filter ever. Wish I never sold mine now! I had it modified by the guys at the GigRig with 2 Virtual Batteries (pre-production prototypes IIRC) so that it would take a standard Boss 9v and could be daisy chained with other pedals. If it wasn't so damn huge, had a bypass LED, and didn't have so much tone suck in bypass, it would be the perfect envelope filter, bar none!
-
I like the idea of the Backbeat end of the jack actually fitting into the body of the Backbeat so it’s harder to be pulled out. But the bass end just looks terrible. Especially if the jack on your bass is front mounted! Loving the new strap mount though!
-
Excellent! I’d had a similar idea but didn’t know how to implement it. Sterling effort there mate!
-
Have to say my experience is completely different. I have two on my board, both of which track down to around G# on the E string, and it’s one of the least warbly/glitchy on held notes i’ve come across. Certainly less so than an OC2. I’ve had a couple of them and sold them on in favour of the Octamizer.
-
I kept my Octamizer (well, both of them!) as the octave in the Stomp just didn’t quite cut it for me. It should be able to nail everything else (especially the modulation) though. Although there have been a few negative comments regarding the filters in the Stomp, i’ve found the Auto Filter effect to be more than satisfactory!
-
Likewise! One of the best filters ever. Autowah too! Love mine. -
This is a big plus for me. I'm down for a preorder too. Looking forward to it!
-
You’ll regret it! -
Unfortunately I have no idea. Maybe Gotoh? -
I owned this bass for many years after buying it on here. Everything that’s been said is true. The range of tones from this bass is outstanding for a passive bass. I commissioned a 5 string version of this bass from Jon with the same electronics and pickups. Whoever buys it will not be disappointed.

If i’m not mistaken, that’s my old Quasar DLX. Excellent pedal

All good advice. Add a touch of Chorus and you’re golden!
