Dunno - I was drawn in by the title which suggested it was a review, rather than him just mucking about. But hey ho. Shame that there isn't much else on the pedal by bass players.

Sounds like fun! But how would you rate his review of the pedal? It wasn't really close to being useful for me, nor a decent sales pitch for the Atreides either. But he's clearly an entertaining guy.

Very nice! Congratulations!

Yeah know what you mean...I'm also in the ridiculous position of being in surplus on my gear account for the first time since I took up the bass. NAMM 2021 was a bit of a damp squib I guess completely understandably, and even the recent PH is missing a string...

Congrats! Is that identical to the one you very recently sold or a different model or finish? Obligatory pics of course, please?

First decent length bass review. A lot less convinced about getting this pedal after wading through 25 out of the 50 mins - although he might have done a better "sales" job if he had spotted he was overloading it sooner than 23.35 mins into his review. Lol! Tempted to have a go at an "Atreides patch" on my Zoom B1-4 with comp-->sub-->fuzz-->phaser-->noise gate; I've got a sneaky feeling it won't sound any worse 😁 Here you go @lee650 If I say so myself it doesn't sound any worse ...well that's saved me £150+ on a pedal then! Atreides.wav

Nope I didn't 😁

Had the Hookers Green Bass Machine - very clean drive, which I liked a lot and I love the compact form factor of these pedals. Can run from 9V right up to 18V if you want some additional head room. Some folk complained about loss of low end, but they maybe hadn't spotted the bass boost trim pot at the side! No hesitation in recommending.

Sorry to hear that Dave. It is bloomin' hard to keep motivated without gigs to focus on. I've found that trying to take on a couple of new challenges - in my case learning EUB for use with my 50s/60s band and enrolling on one of Mark from Talking Bass's courses - has been a bit of a life saver. One of the plusses for me from last year was deciding to shed a bunch of gear I was hardly using (mostly pedals) - if they weren't going to get any attention from me during lockdown, they were realistically never going to get any attention from me! Doing that has really helped me to simplify my bass life a bit, which for me was a good thing.

Bet Andy could do it pretty professionally and for half the cost!

Right one month and three days down and I've got no new gear (other than something I had for a morning before returning), sold a bass and a Smoothhound. So am I still out then ref?

Cheers. I'm not much cop with a soldering iron, so I'll probably get Bass Gallery in Camden to sort for me. I'm guessing it's going to be a £200+ job for labour and parts for a John East 3 band. What is it about the Glock hits the mark for you?

I came pretty close to pulling the trigger on a BB75 recently and your thumbs-up is certainly not helping! It did feel very nicely balanced. The EQ was seriously versatile: two single coil tap / full humbucker switches, one for each pup vol knob with pull for active / passive pup selector 3 band EQ Unfortunately the EQ was a little shot (mids did nothing and treble was more like a secondary vol) - I guess not surprising for a nearly 20 yo bass. Is it possible to replace just the 3 band EQ (e.g. with an J East?) part of the preamp, or am I looking at full new preamp replacement to cover off all of the above?

Vintage white would be perfect. Probably not Yammy on the headstock though, but thanks for asking. Out of interest, do you not use abbreviations - or is that simply too long a word?

Hey @M@23 the blue sparkle even features blue LEDs! Now if only it were a P35 and not a 734 eh...?

You a Dune fan too then? 😊

Too late...you've already bid and paid for the 8 lb'er 😁 Who do we know on this thread that could sort one of those out for you....hmmm?

Do I hear any reduction below 8lbs - 7.5 lbs anyone? No? Going once, going twice, GONE to that nice gentleman from that splendid Bon Jovi tribute band...

And LEDs Mark, don't forget the LEDs... 😁

Yup - a LOT going on, and all potential nice to haves too, in an analogue box.

I really like the look of this. Could be my first foray into Way Huge gear...

They're you go, already pre-sold before you've even decided to sell 😁

I think you may incur the wrath if the mods unfortunately if you did it that way around. By all means do them here and in the FS at the same time.

We seem to be largely splitting into the Vintage White and Orange-is-the-new-black camps on here? I get my head turned by Vintage White basses, whatever the model! Can't believe I turned down the chance to get a VW 5000A for £850 a couple of year's back.

Some chap on TB resprayed his Rickenbacker in the Andy T blue sparkle finish (can't seem to locate that particular post now) - but I've never seen a single post "liked" so much as that one! Thing is - IMO they ALL look better than the current colour offerings simply by having matching headstocks and which only the PH and NE2 have have in the current BB line up.
