Hey Kert, I reckon far east manufactured, Marlins were east German made up until the late eighties (Slammer and Sidewinder guitars / Basses) and then Korea up until they ceased in the late nineties. I'd say it's not worth a lot unfortunately, certainly sub £100. They were distributed by Hohner IIRC..Entry level stuff, and not a patch on today's entry level stuff either..

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1479727333' post='3178717'] Don't send anything until the money is in your bank account, and insist on fully insured and tracked postage so you can follow it all the way. [/quote] This is pretty much it. EDIT: and of course only deal with Basschatters!

Here's the latest version of mine. Set up to run a Yamaha Attitude using both outputs from the Bass, feeding 2 inputs on the Mixer. [attachment=232420:pedalboard.jpg] Chain is: Woofer (neck) pickup > Micro POG > Spectracomp > Bass Driver > mixer input. P Pickup > EBS Billy Sheehan Deluxe > Rolls Crossover > Spectracomp > Para Driver > mixer input. ABY switch is in the drive loop of the EBS to switch the drive channel off / on. No amp on stage for me these days, I use in-ears (Ultimate Ears UE900s).

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1479660258' post='3178216'] Used to do it until I started using Superbrights which are pre-stretched. Now I don't bother! [/quote] I didn't know this! I've only ever done a press down after the saddle anyway, but good to know!

Bought a pedal from Chris last week, all done nice and easy and delivered really well packaged, Cheers Chris!

Surprised it's not for sale in the marketplace on here TBH. Most BF owners in the UK will have found out about them through this forum in one way or another I reckon.....

Made in 1992. I was 17 at the time. What I wouldn't have given to have that rig.

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1479289620' post='3175300'] I have to ask, did BFC stand for "Big F****ng Cab"? [/quote] Not sure 'officially', but I'm pretty sure that's what everyone assumed!

What a cool find!

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1479228066' post='3174902'] In the end I had to contact Fender, who where quite intrigued themselves, and helpful. [/quote] Oh? Do tell!

[quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1479143552' post='3174296'] This isn't helping! [/quote] Neither will this then: [attachment=232083:Pbbm.JPG]

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1479147623' post='3174340'] Meant to post this before [/quote] Hmmm. Doesn't look as weird as I thought it would.

Yep - Black / Black / Maple!!!

Yep - All the character in the tone of the Attitude is coming from the Split P Pickup. The Will power P Snarls & Growls like a bulldog with an elastic band on his man parts..the volume is something else, bordering on the output of an active bass...

PJ?

Go to your local Jam nights people. This is where you're more likely to find like minded individuals.....

Hold up - 2 different BF cabs which are the same width?!? Shut the front door!

Dear me, you need a hazmat suit to even look at it.

What a lovely pair! ooo-errrr missus!

I've got the Metro 20 board (same underside clearance as the nano) and the Coiks DC-5. Works great for me (for now! ). Worth adding that some folks have successfully modified these boards to have taller feet so you get a bit more clearance underneath. See here, it's a older pedaltrain 'mini' in this case but the principal is the same.: - http://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/pedaltrain-mod-part-1-adjustable-feet.1240974/ http://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/pedaltrain-mini-mod-part-2-mounting-a-power-supply-diy.1249528/

Oh I forgot to add - Don't waste your hard earned on having to get the will power neck pickup, for one it's expensive, and secondly they don't even use it in the V3 Attitude, it's a yamaha pickup. I've even known someone to put a Dimarzio X2n (guitar pickup) in there and had great results. There's also an X2nb which is the same pickup but has more bottom end. Both cheaper than the will power neck pickup.
