    [quote name='gnasher1993' post='675252' date='Dec 5 2009, 09:51 PM']My current board... It'll change within a week or so, I have no doubt about that. [/quote] What board is that?

    [quote name='The Twickerman' post='673297' date='Dec 3 2009, 04:46 PM']This is my current pedal board. It's going to change imminently (I just bought a Voodoo Lab PSU and Pedaltrain board), but the pedals will stay the same (I think). I play in a progrock covers band. Basically they are used like this: The B:Assmaster and Choralflange are for the Squire tones. The Bass Drive is for Mike Rutherford and John Wetton sounds. The digital delay is for some Floyd-y things (together with the distortions for some huge swells). I had the Boss Tremolo/Pan there for a while - but it was noisy as hell. I also had a seventies EH Electric Mistress, but it was too limited. Also frequently spotted on the board in recent times: and Black Cat Bass Octave Fuzz (replaced by the Malekko), a Boss OC-2 and an AW-2, an MXR Phase-100 and a SHaftesbury Duo-Fuzz.[/quote] How do you find the Choralflange? I have the feeling that would be my ultimate flanger but never heard it on bass. I like flangers with a mix knob (only know 2 or 3). A bit too big now that I've downsized to a Pdealtrain Mini though...

    [quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' post='656428' date='Nov 16 2009, 10:18 PM']I've been looking at some line 6 Combo's/Heads ,which have adjustable effects . On their website . Are these any good? I was wondering if these would do somebody,who wants to travel light, not have to worry about losing the bottom end,and use effects sparingly for a couple of songs in their live set. Looks like they wouldn't be fiddly like effects units,and saves all the faffing around. Or is the quality ,not very good? What do you think people?[/quote] I've used Line 6 combos a couple of times in studios... I didn't like the amp simulations (including overdrive) but I thought the filter, octave and chorus were excellent... I wouldn't go for this kind of thing though... What would you use to rehearse in a studio, or when you're gigging and the venue/another bassist supplies the bass amp? You'd have to get a multifx or pedals for that anyway... If effects are of that little importance to you and you want to travel light, you'd do better to get a really good amp or combo and buy a Zoom or a Floor POD...

    It's a shame there's no dedicated volume knob for the distortion channel of the VXL, you might be ok with 1 pedal only!

    Line6 M9

    [quote name='edstraker123' post='649594' date='Nov 9 2009, 01:26 PM']This was the worst nightmare of an upgrade I've ever experienced. The problem is that once it has started it has wiped the M9's original firmware and therefore renders the machine unusable (impossible to even do a factory reset) until the update has completed successfully. Line 6 support is by forum posting and not very impressive. We managed to update both mine and Burno's M9's in the end but overall it had probably taken 6 to 7 hours of testing with no definitive answer as to why it finally worked. I won't be in a hurry to upgrade it again ![/quote] I feel for you, being in that awful situation with a Line 6 product. Line 6's support is appalling/non-existent. Every serious problem I had with POD Farm or Toneport was solved by myself after many hours trailing the web for answers, while a post on their forums would bear no results what-so-ever. You can call them direct? That's news! I doubt you'd get any results from that though...

    [quote name='Phaedrus' post='646441' date='Nov 5 2009, 06:01 PM']I've been looking for a low-priced decent bass chorus for a while. The Artec & Biyang budget products appeal, but I just came across this T-Rex Sweeper on MusicStore today, and the price doesn't seem too bad: [url="http://www.musicstore.com/en_EN/IEP/T-REX-Sweeper-Bass-Chorus-Effektpedal/art-BAS0003605-000"]http://www.musicstore.com/en_EN/IEP/T-REX-...-BAS0003605-000[/url] Dearer than the budget products, but could be worth it? Have you had any joy finding one, 1976fenderhead? Mark[/quote] Not really... I actually downsized to a Pedaltrain Mini and bought an EBS UniChorus so I have a chorus and a (sort of) flanger taking up the space of 1 pedal only. I'd still love to try this though. That's a good price.
  7. 1976fenderhead
    That must be the Green Muff in best condition I've ever seen!
  8. 1976fenderhead
    Price is now £60 shipped. Looking for an MXR M-80 so will trade for that.

    [quote name='Rumple' post='623145' date='Oct 11 2009, 02:54 PM']I now own the MXR chorus - Paulo is a pleasure to deal with. Have a bump on me![/quote] Thanks Everything sold except for the Rocktron flanger. Make me an offer for it! It's AS NEW!
  10. 1976fenderhead
    MXR Stereo Chorus looking sold. Only the Rocktron Hypnotic Flange left!
  11. 1976fenderhead
    [quote name='cm261' post='619579' date='Oct 7 2009, 02:09 PM']Yeah I do really want it actually, but I can't justify spending yet more money on gear right now. Its a good price as well, someone please take this off his hands before I lose my discipline! Have a little bump on me anyways.[/quote] Thanks! TU-2 sold, BF-2B awaiting payment. MXR Stereo Chorus and Rocktron Hypnotic Flange still available.
  12. 1976fenderhead
    TU-2 and BF-2B sold pending the usual. Looking like it will only be the MXR and the Rocktron left. Come on guys, at least the MXR, it's an [b]AWESOME[/b] chorus for bass, I can't believe I'll have to put it on eBay for another (ugh) g****rist to take, this pedal MUST continue in the hands of a bassist! It's a crime so many bassists have no idea how good this pedal is on bass!!!! Both pedals going on eBay this weekend if no-one here takes them.
  13. 1976fenderhead
    More images of the BF-2B as asked for.

    [quote name='mrcrow' post='612483' date='Sep 29 2009, 09:14 PM']maplins?? do they have to be white...you may find some bits of rubbery material whereby you could make them up yourself even a piece of eraser[/quote] Can't find them on maplins... Well they're used everywhere and they always look the same so they must be made somewhere and sold somewhere for those companies to use them no?

    [quote name='MatthieuM' post='612412' date='Sep 29 2009, 08:11 PM']Hello. I'm very interested by the Bass Flanger. Can you ship it to France please ? Best regards.[/quote] Vous avez une PM!
  17. 1976fenderhead
    [b]All prices reduced, last reduction before going on eBay![/b] I now also consider trades for a rugged (not Behringer) bass DI/preamp such as Sansamp Bass Driver, Hartke Bass Attack, Aphex Bass Exciter, MXR M-80, etc, preferably phantom power capable.
  18. 1976fenderhead
    Is it possible to buy them? Those white tips on the EHX Bass MicroSynth, Boss EQ pedal, etc?

    [quote name='casapete' post='604229' date='Sep 21 2009, 08:51 AM']Just bought a Behringer DI - top fella! Quick delivery too/ Thanks![/quote] Cheers mate
  20. 1976fenderhead
    Argh that UniChorus came a week too late for me... Is it the latest version?

    [quote name='Rich' post='608769' date='Sep 25 2009, 04:44 PM']Chill out ladies, it's only a volume pedal. I use the Boss FV-50, I like it a lot. Silent operation, nice taper, stereo, and it's got a handy tuner output too. [/quote] Totally off topic, but man, that's a great quote you have on your sig :-D !

    18v adaptor and patch cables now sold!
  23. 1976fenderhead
    Gone mini! As a consequence, 4 pedals on the For Sale section! Apart from those on this pedalboard, I'll only be left with a Cry Baby 105q and an Ernie Ball VP Jr to use by the side of this board on special gigs ;-) And a Zoom Ultra Fuzz just because it's awesome!
  24. 1976fenderhead
    I've decided to downsize my pedalboard to a Pedaltrain Mini due to frequent gigs in central London where parking a car is unthinkable. Hence, the following is for sale: [b]Rocktron Hypnotic Flange - £60 shipped (MINT, with box and instructions)[/b] My favourite flange on distorted bass. The special feature of this pedal is the mix knob, which is what keeps the effect from being overkill when after distortion. Also sounds great on clean bass. It's analogue and the sweep is quite unique in that the speed going up is different than going down, which gives it an even more organic character. [b](SOLD: TU-2, BF-2B, MXR Stereo Chorus, Diago 18v converter, 6 patch cables.)[/b] Rocktron pedal has velcro on but I can put the feet back if the buyer so wishes. The feet will be sent with the pedal regardless. I can meet buyers in London and so the price will reflect the savings in postage. [b]I'll consider trades for a rugged (not Behringer) bass DI/preamp such as Sansamp Bass Driver, Hartke Bass Attack, Aphex Bass Exciter, MXR M-80, etc. OR a loop pedal like a Loop Station, etc.[/b] Let me know if you want to see more pictures of anything in specific, different angles, etc, I'll try to find time for that! Thx for looking!

    [quote name='tayste_2000' post='606807' date='Sep 23 2009, 04:28 PM']I have 2 EB Jr's 25k and 250k both are excellent but the 250k has the smoother taper even with active basses. Cheers[/quote] I have the 250k one and it always worked brilliantly and evenly with both my old 9v USA jazz Deluxe and with my new 18v one too. I wonder if I'd notice any improvement with the 25k one, but I can't imagine what could possibly be improved! I'm now using the switch in the up position for total evenness but have used it in the down position at times too...
