On hold pending 

Was bought for practice and recording with my iPad but I now use my NUX Mightly Plug Pro for that.

No box, no pictures, looks like this

Can probably include a USB C cable if you don’t have one (how?)

Full working order, no marks, just a solid recording interface

This is going to make me sound like an asshat but I already know without playing this pedal it won’t be a keeper, because nothing is a keeper for me anymore.

I have a jam on the 4th December where I want to use it and then it can go like so many other pedals before it have.

Get in line, call dibs and it can be with you 6th/7th December if you like.

Bump as I’m back in the UK and can post this again. Open to offers.

Good condition, has some surface scratches (you can see in the picture)

Fully working, no longer needed, comes with a box…. tunes your bass 🤷‍♂️

Because it would be douchey to try and make money on it.

I bought this as a spares and repair, reality is it works perfectly but there seems to be a common issue on EBS Microbass 3’s where you need a cable in the fx loop otherwise you have issues.

For ages I couldn’t find this fault but it only affected the XLR out. Anyway one just sold on this forum highlighting this as a common issue.

So I got a bargain, you can have a bargain but read the original post.

Comes with box and the patch lead to solve the fx loop issue, no power supply but it’s standard 9v

Great condition, barely a mark on it. But really this is a seriously light plywood bass made in Taiwan in the 60s, I bought it as a quirky studio instrument and it’s currently wearing a set of D’addario Tapes

I have a Fleabass gigbag that fits this very snuggly and is about as small of a backup bass you can then get.

30 inch scale

All electronics are working and the pickup isn’t microphonic as much as I can tell

No crackles or issues

Cosmetically is what it is but no major dings and no chunks missing from the rather chunky neck.

I must stress this is a fun and cool studio instrument, don’t be like the guy who bought my 1970s Eko and complained that he couldn’t get the action low like a Fodera.

Action is relatively low but it’s a 30 inch scale bass with tapes so the strings really move, but no buzzes or rattle. Dig in enough you might hit the pickup.

Sounds like this

Kay (with Tapes) into Groove Tube Ditto into Garageband /end (no post anything)

Bought this off this very forum around March as I had a long trip where I wouldn’t be able to take one of my existing collection with me.

30inch scale

Apparently limited edition

Lovely finish on the body and varnished neck

The only ding at the rear strap pin where some paint has come away, was only visible when I swapped them out for Straplocks that will be included in the sale

Setup a few days ago for the rounds it current wears, everything works perfectly and it was apparently upgraded with a Klingon Loom before I bought it, which was checked over the other day.

Additional Options - Gruvgear Gigblade Edge 2 - £80 (https://gruvgear.com/collections/guitar-bags/products/gigblade-edge)

Gruvgear Kapsulite (Not the slightly newer + model with wheels) - £200 (https://gruvgear.com/blogs/latest-news/gruv-gear-announces-new-kapsulite-bag-for-guitars-basses)

Mustang (Thru Body) La Bella Flats - Brand new unopened - £40

Both cases are guitar versions and fit this and all mustangs snuggly and I’ve travelled all over the world with both (Edge was in a SKB Bass Safe)

I’m flying back from Istanbul with the bass at the end of the month so can either meet someone in London on the 30th November or anytime after that in the Manchester area. Bass will not include a gigbag but the above options are available at additional cost.

The blue one for those that might be confused, more pictures coming soon.

Any questions let me know, no trades, can ship but would recommend you buy one of the gigbags if I’m doing that.

I think you’ll be quite happy with it, it’s a great sounding preamp, I really like the compression on it but it’s subtle and smooth (more limiting than an effect), the drive is nice, the eq really musical, tuner tunes.

It think it’s quite hard to use both channels for 2 different basses as the eq options are so different but stacked you’ve got limitless tonal options.

Just a really handy swiss army knife.

An alternative if you don’t get on with it is the Fishman Platinum Pro EQ, that has compression, DI, Tuner, EQ and is a really really nice and transparent sounding pedal.

For a more rocky sound the Sonicake Boom Ave is heavily underrated.

I love these all in ones I just wish more powered from battery or phantom, the more I can do where it’s grab n go n throw on the floor to play the better.

I recently sold my old Art Tube Mic Pre, over the years I've used it with both bass and guitar and you can get a bit of tube warmth and even over drive it a bit, I'll probably regret selling the thing but at the moment I don't have a use for it, they are only 12v AC so nothing like a proper tube amp but cheap enough to consider giving one a try.

I have one of these along with 2 Groove Tube Ditto’s and a Summit TD-100. They are great value for the money. Often I’ve run the Groove Tubes into it so that I can convert the XLR out to a 1/4 inch jack.

Either way they are very handy to add a further tube stage to your signal.

The Summit TD-100 primarily due to the impedance control is the one that in recent memory made me go wow.

The Groove Tubes does appear on my favourite recordings of myself. I’m hoping to get into a studio in December and do a shootout.

I did one last year with a Acme Motown, Countryman Type 10, Neve and Radial Stagebug.

The results were surprising as I found the Neve “boring” and the Radial very very close in sound to the Motown (this has been confirmed to several other players I’ve sent it on to)

However once you start turning on those studio EQs and compressors all the differences easily disappear.

Countryman has been my go to for years, Stagebug is my travel DI and then trying to figure out which Tube DI is the main one for studio work.

I also picked up a Radial Dragster to stick in front of the Groove Tubes and see if I can get everything I love out of the Summit with everything I love out of the GT.

Summit does fit in a gigbag though.

Before I explore has anyone tried recording with this, do you need a computer or could it be done on the iPad , ideally into GarageBand as that’s all I use for recording 

Works fine straight into GarageBand, thats how I record.

You do have to go into the app settings for the monitoring to get it right.

Surprising the mustang doesn’t have the lollipop tuners, getting closer and closer to my ideal bass.

In 1972 the only colours available for musicmaster basses were white, blue or red. There were no black ones.

Interesting, I’ve never seen a blue one.

I’m planning on getting a Musicmaster later this year and hoping for an earlier one, though the later “white” ones with the black pg and proper tuners do look a lot nicer.

Start with 100% octave down, probably the Bass Octaver though not as synthy as some might like. Following that some modulation, I’m having a lot of fun with Octaver into a Vibrato currently, maybe a sansamp model between them just to phatten up some of the sound.

The key for synth sounds is always starting with that 100% octave down to remove your attack and give you a more keyboard like attack, most people will then go fuzz and filter but if you can get the octaver sounding a bit gritty (which I’ve done with EQ) then modulation gives it the movement most synth lines are played with.

Oh forgot to say and I may have mentioned this previously but it’s also my recording setup.

What I’ve found is at most I need to do scratch demos for people prior to going into the studio.
 

This is bass - nux - usb c to iPad - headphones out of the nux

You mess a bit with the settings in the phone app but you can live monitor what you’re recording.

I’ve done some stuff this way and am working on a project now for a friend.

I really need to test if it will send the fx into the daw.

But it’s super simple and just 1 cable.

Just all in all a really handy solution for practice and recording, I’ve loaded some shiftline irs on and mainly just use it clean with the Aggie amp sim.

Also did by one else notice you can drag and drop the fx blocks into different orders 💁🏼‍♀️

Compression after amp sims is quite nice.

It does make practice easier as it’s always just ready to go.

The usb c means all my devices use the same cable (more or less)

But, I am sure the mp2 had less noise than the pro. I kept the mp2 in a gigbag in the US so I don’t have to take anything there. But the usb c is more convenient so that’s what I carry with me and any noise is unnoticeable when playing with songs.

I’ve found them all to be very similar. My main one is the Uniclip as recommended by many others but when I bought a 2nd and it got lost in the post I got one of these.

I currently carry a cheap no name one I picked up at the only music store I could find in one country. Also seems to work fine.

https://www.daddario.com/products/accessories/tuners/micro-headstock-tuner/

Works just as well, screen isn’t as clear as well it’s tiny but the plus side is it’s tiny.

I also had my Uniclip leave indentations on the my Ric headstock (more so due to the soft gloss nitro finish) but it’s work noting.

Studio and serious live work I have the Peterson Strobostomp HD, rest of the time any of the clips work fine.

Thanks for that Maude , I use the Yamaha sessioncake sometimes but was hoping this was wireless with headphones 

You’ll be wanting the Boss Waza Air Bass then

Yeah I just go bass - nux - iems

I’ve ended up buying a Cioks4

Powering from USB C is probably more my goal than battery, just nice to have the flexibility.

I find myself struggling to have anything more than a Nano but I am going to try the D’addario XPND with a view that maybe that will stop me buying and selling nanos all the damn time.

Open to offers

Bought this from the forum around the same time I bought a JF Capo. Great gritty boost, just adds a bit of magic to the tone but I’ve got loads of things that do that.

Great condition but no box.

Not really looking for any trades at this time.

Only back in Bogota currently, 5 hours I fly to BA  very excited though.

First flight for the Gruv Gear Kapsulite so will see how that holds up
