Next up on the chopping block, pretty rare (certainly in the UK) Groove Tube Ditto DI Box. I bought this a few years ago after a long long hunt after hearing about Lee Sklar using one in the 2000’s (think I lusted after one for 15 years?) I did a bit of recording with it, sold it as I went travelling, bought it back, bought a second one in the states, did a bit more recording with it, . I’ve done a shootout with it and near every other DI on the planet, it’s up there with the Reddi and the Khan, better than the Neve or Acme but as I travel so much it’s just wasted on me. Comes with an SKB case (as pictured) with fitted pick n pluck foam Huge transformers, easy to swap tubes, sounds great pushing a nice preamp like my Cranborne Audio Camden. Listing as part of my bit clear out, will not be sad if no one is interested 😅 I’ll just bring the other back from the US and run both on my 4003 with a ric-o-sound cable 😈.

This is in reference to the MS60b I have since removed from sale. The 70cdr works perfectly

Bought this from the forum following a session where I felt I had to keep going over to the mixing desk. Following that I’ve found it’s easier to just have someone operate that mixing desk so this is redundant having not been used. Unit is fully functional and works great. I was actually tempted to have this basically be my full rig. It’s a wireless where the pedal then works as a tuner and has a very nice DI out. Powers from standard 9vdc and has a usb c out to charge the little pack/bug. As per when I bought it it’s missing a few things, 1 the power supply (which you’re not going to use as it’s standard 9vdc and you’re going to put it on your pedalboard) and then some little clips and things that I think attach this to your strap and you run an extension from the bass to the bug. 🤷‍♂️ Replacements are available here: https://www.thomann.de/gb/sennheiser_xsw_d_beltpack_clip.htm What I did find with these is they are all interchangeable, so you can have this and buy another receiving dongle and have a super light rig where maybe you use the pedal version here with your pedalboard or just another dongle when traveling light (https://www.thomann.de/gb/sennheiser_xsw_d_instrument_rx_517353.htm) More info here: https://www.thomann.de/gb/sennheiser_xsw_d_pedalboard_set.htm?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw-r-vBhC-ARIsAGgUO2C1sdNYYLygehIUuRYe8mM6pj-r914N-lOvEjdlpjq6-D-32tZ3f5AaApmPEALw_wcB Or for example You could tack on https://www.thomann.de/gb/sennheiser_xsw_d_xlr_male_rx.htm and go straight from the bug/dongle to the desk (assuming you’re close enough) Or plug the bug/dongle from this set into an aux out on a desk and wear this https://www.thomann.de/gb/sennheiser_xsw_d_mini_jack_rx.htm and have an IEM rig. I think you can also buy a more traditional pack and connect it to the tuner/pedal/receiver. Also price wise this is a steal.

Well travelled but fully functional. New clasp version. I did about 18 months of bouncing around the world with this and mustang in a Gruv Gear Edge, never had any damage or issues, managed to shove stuff down the sides of it with the bass in. But basically I’ve outgrown this, I’m moving over to the GruvGear Kapsule and back to full size basses (so my guitar kapsule needs a bigger brother). Open to offers, can ship this. https://www.thomann.de/gb/skb_r44_electric_bass_save.htm Great travel case and current Janek Gwizdala’s favourite, he uses his with a slickbag.

Great condition, with box and little bag. Serial 258 Just not for me, think I’m just going to stick with my countryman and not think too hard about gear 😂

Wasn’t sure about this, I’ve hardly used it. Took it to the studio yesterday and I can’t hear the difference between this and my Groove Tube Ditto or the Clean DI out on my JF Capo. Probably the snobbery and the 12vac that bothers me about it. What I should do is sell everything else and buy 2 of these and find an AC power supply thats more pedalboard/gigbag friendly Either way, hardly used it, likely never will, got to clear out one of my 27 million di’s and preamps. Grab a bargain. Includes box and power supply Open to offers and trades

A former favourite of mine but something about it just bugs me and I’ve got the luxury of being able to have something bigger for practice. https://www.nuxaudio.com/mightyplugpro.html Great practice tool, built in bluetooth to connect to your phone. I’ve used it as a recording interface with the usb c out. No box, no cable (it’s usb c, just use your phone charger), just the plug…. which you can plug and erm well play. Open to offers and trades on a TC Polytune 3 or Peterson Strobostomp HD (cash from me)

I’d probably go for my Ditto in a DI only situation but most of the time I go to a Countryman Type 10. I tried the summit, ditto, khan and reddi out together. They are all very very similar. All sound great and any differences are hard to explain, could disappear with a touch on the tone knob or a tiny bit of eq. I’ll be comparing the countryman and ditto in the studio on Tuesday but I like that I can push the front of a pre with the gain on the ditto. The summit has the benefit of a 1/4 inch out with the tube signal which the reddi and ditto don’t. Khan does but then no gain and no impedance control. Then it also has a headphone out which was my main use until I got the Camden which has the aux in which I use with a Bluetooth adapter. Also it’ll (summit) fit in a rack case or gig bag front pocket. Really it depends on your needs, and how much you want to lug to a gig. The reddi is twice as long as my ditto and my ditto I have in its own small peli which is awkward when moving through a city with my gruv gear kapsule. In this situation the summit or Camden fit in the bag. If you’ve stayed with me this far, I clearly have too much gear 😅

Cranborne Audio Camden EC1 😇 All @Sibob’s fault and I recently got to try it and this Summit against the Reddi and Noble (and Khan and I still have my Capo and Ditto Tube DI) There is a feature set thing that makes the Camden better for my needs than the Summit but the sound is incredible and I’ve found little benefit running the Summit into the Camden, I’m still undecided on running the Ditto (at a high gain) into it, as that did sound special. Capo I haven’t tried with it and either way everything else will be in addition to the Camden (mainly due to feature set)
