Hotone Omni IR

Great little IR cab loader pedal with 4 band EQ and DI out. 40 Cabs at a time, selectable with the knob or footswitch. Works really with your favourite preamp / drive to give a full rig sound from a fly rig size setup, or just as the final pedal on a pedalboard for going straight to desk / monitor / FOH etc. I have found that good cab IRs go a long way to making a great tone, maybe more even than a preamp for clean tones.

Comes with a few bass cab IRs and can easily be loaded with new ones using the software, which works nicely and makes it very very flexible.

4 Band EQ can be saved with every cab sim which is a really useful feature which makes it even easier to get just the right cab sound.

DI out as well as thru and instrument out, so very flexible, no need for an additional DI box. Master volume controls DI volume when the cab sim is on.

Also has headphones out and aux in, so it can turn your pedal board into a practice rig as well. It's quite tweakable, the footswitch can be assigned for different things, led colour changed etc via the software.

Only cons - the screen on the pedal is small, so you really want use the PC/Mac software to set it up to get the best out of it - but you want to do that anyway to load your choice of cab IRs so no big deal for most people. Also the master volume doesn't affect the DI output when the cab sim is off, so really you need it on all the time - this is also no big deal as you can just use a nice uncoloured cab IR instead of leaving it off. Apart from that, it's a really well featured little cab sim box, it was a key part of my "fly rig" and I'm only selling it as I've now got a Kemper so obviously that's got my cab sim needs covered and I don't need the IR pedal as well.

In perfect condition, has been on my pedalboard on my desk from new and never even been on the floor. Boxed with all the original bits, it has velcro on the bottom but comes with the rubber feet and another bigger peice of velcro that came with it. There is a power supply with it but it's a european plug, but it's standard 9v anyway.

Not looking for any trades thanks.

£90 including UK postage, sorry only posting to the UK at the moment.

My biggest case of seller's remorse was an Ibanez BTB456, hell of a bass for the money (I got it second hand, can't remember the exact price but under £400 and that was from a dealer) but I had some wrist problems so it was probably best to stick to 5 strings max. The BTBs have always been massive bang for the buck.

I like me an Ibanez, although at the mo I only have guit*rs and a baritone, no bass. I'm pretending the EHB 1505 doesn't exist until either I'm rich or there are second hand ones around, but I reckon I will have one one day. I've always liked a headless since I had a Hohner The Jack, I love Nordy pickups and I like less than 19mm string spacing on a 5 string (17.5 on my jake, the EHB is 18 which will do just fine). Oh, and I like blue basses.

SOLD Darkglass Hyper Luminal Compressor - Black Limited Edition

Great compressor with 3 modes, I've seen these on quite a few pedal boards on BC recently and for good reason. I wouldn't be selling it if I hadn't just bought a Kemper to replace all my other gear, I'm very tempted to keep it anyway but the Kemper has to be paid for.

All the info is here and there are plenty of reviews etc around.

Excellent condition, I've had it from new and although it has been on my pedalboard, that was on my desk the whole time I've had it, so it's never even been on the floor. Has velcro on the base, the rubber feet are included as well. Boxed with the USB cable, manual etc.

Not looking for any trades thanks.

£185 including including UK Postage. Sorry, only shipping to the UK at the mo. Now Sold

Part exed my multiamp for Russ's Kemper, we meet up and I picked a bass up for him on the way down. What could have been complicated was nice and easy and all went smoothly thanks to great Comms on Russ's part. Great to deal with, very happy with the deal and Ross was kind enough to add a small and very alcoholic bonus for picking up the bass 😀.

Next time, bold the "some".

Better advice would probably be to stay out of these kind of discussions, but I get sucked in sometimes.

It is probably because I've heard these arguments before as part of a general "armies and war have their upsides you know" argument.

It always reminds me of Theodore Roosevelt, who had views that were pretty close to "war is good", but who never recovered from the loss of his son in WWI.

As with all important things, XKCD has something to say about this:

Don’t want to invest in military weapons?

 

So no DSLR cameras, microwave ovens, cellphones, GPS (and satellite navigation), drones, the epi pen, duct tape and superglue, jet engines, portable radio, internet, night vision, blah blah…

 

Investing in the the military and weapons is what has pushed technology into the commercial sector - some of these technologies would arguably have never come to exist without such investments.

I think "arguably" is putting it a bit mildly. This is like homeopaths saying "well, after I took my homeopathic remedy, I got better", when getting better is what happens to most people after they're unwell.

The military often just fund existing technology, usiung public money that would have funded the same technology anyway. In any case it's completely impossible to say what would or would not have been invented if humans were less keen on murdering each other. The internet is a good example, just google "arpanet" and read about how it came to be and it's obvious that although the pentagon funded a lot of the original work on what we now call IPV4, the work was going on anyway. Arguably, if the money hadn't come through the pentagon it would just have taken a different route to the same people. The web and most of the technology that we really call "the internet" as it came to be in the 90s had nothing to do with the military and came out of places like CERN and the NCSA.

Maybe we should start listing things that were invented without any military money, although that might get a bit long.

I like messing about with electrics, but tend to leave the rest alone (apart from setups). I specced my #1 bass with the wrong pickups, for me (Delanos) and swapped to Nordstrands and that turned it into a proper keeper. I've got a bitsa guitar a bit like that, although for that one I bought a load of second hand pickups, did proper back to back tests (recorded them all) and picked the ones I liked best, which also happened to be nice and cheap ones. I bought a Maruszczyk Hellwood but felt the pots weren't right so I tweaked it and that's nice (though maybe not a keeper because I'm still not 100% sold one the jazz thing).

Tweaking an instrument so it's just right is a good feeling.

I thought men could now be seen as a bit girly as well nowadays. Not sure why being a man is positive and being a girl is negative. Even in this situation. Isn't  a man being a man and a girl being a girl something that should be celebrated anymore?

 

I have no problem with girls being manly or girls being girly. Or men being girly or manly. But I do know what manly and girly mean. 

 

Gender stereotypes are just that. Stereotypes. 

 

Music is all about sex anyway. 

I think the point (that's already been made) is that girly is not used to mean "like a young female person", which could mean a whole range of things, it has a set of associations and connotations from the way it has been used in the past. Words come to mean what people use them to mean.

Can you slap with it?

If you must, but draw the curtains first.

It's not that hard to imagine that if you are, have been, or identify as a "girl", then hearing the adjective "girly" used in a usually derogatory way, at the very least meaning lightweight or weak, might start wearing a bit thin. It reads like Mr Clayton was chucking that kind old fashioned and insulting use of the word around without thinking about it.

For anyone who struggles with that concept, try imagining that throughout your time as a bass player, whenever anyone heard something that sounded a bit out of tune or discordant, they said "ooh, that was a bit bassy". I'm assuming that hasn't already happened to you, if it has then something else is going on 🙂 .

Jamie bought my Future Impact pedal, everything was hunky dory, another good Basshchat deal with everybody happy at the end of it  👍

NOW SOLD

I'd also be prepared to sell it without the SKB case, could work well for someone who wants it for home / home studio use - knock off the hard case and midi board and hook it up to your laptop to make it easy to tweak and it's a bargain.

I would sell the amp only, without the MIDI board (footswitches) for £400. This would make a super flexible rig for anyone who uses the same tone most of the time but wants an amazing amount of control over what that tone is. Even without the pretty impressive effects, it's 12 amps (and a load of cabs) in one.

Basic board but it works for me! 

 

I do like the Xotic booster / drive pedals. I'm using the BB preamp at the mo, into a cab sim and nothing else, and I've got an RC for when I don't want as much drive.

I nearly posted a little while back as I'd noticed a few Darkglass Hyper Luminal compressors showing up on people's boards, but then I realised I probably notice pedals I use more than others. It would be interesting to know what's popular, but also worth remembering that sometimes things are popular because they're popular.

Future Impact v1 which has been upgraded to the v3 Firmware, which I believe makes it the same as a v3 apart from the decal.

Bought on here not that long ago, but the project that's got off the ground is different to the one I was imagining (in a good way though), so this won't get used.

It's in great condition with box.

£210 including postage (RM second class signed for) NOW SOLD

Final price drop - any less and it's worth keeping for recording and the extra tones even though I have another rig.

Tony bought my SA Ultrawave and was a pleasure to deal with, good comms and everything went smoothly. Proper Basschart dealings Thanks! 👍

Now Sold

The whole of the Withnail & I soundtrack is like that IMO.

I think Source Audio allow warranty transfer, if I recall correctly from when I proof-read the UltraWave Manual. 

Very cool. There are some good gear companies around still.
