Time to sell this rare wee pedal I say rare as its the prototype of Max's red dragon booster/overdrive

[url="http://www.sfxsound.co.uk/microreddragon/"]http://www.sfxsound....microreddragon/[/url]

This one is a regular mxr size enclosure with a few options which didn't make the micro version these are a selectable gain switch which gives 3 levels of gain from boost to slight breakup to overdrive and a 3 way tone switch which gives you 2 different freqs and a bypass. I love this pedal and its been a mainstay on my board for about 7 years but its time to move it on to free up some space. Condition wise its in good nick with a couple of small knicks in the paint and velcro on the base.

After £45 O.N.O posted for this payment by the usual suspects (bank transfer/paypal gift cash on collection)

As a matter of interest, do you not find the tuner on the b3 good enough or do you use the tuner for sonethin else? Killswitch fir example? I only ask cos my b3 tunes perfectly! I've noticed a few folk do it.

The tuner on the B3 is good enough, I just prefer having the PB to kill the signal when I'm tuning up

korg pitchblack sfx red dragon prototype and a zoom b3

Looks to me like glue or something may have ran down the inside of the horn and the other mark from the pics looks like a paint chip thats been touched up. If i had the spare cash........

Whats the maximum length of the strap please?

Good wee find there J! Have you finished that old Ibanez blazer project you got from me? Was musing about getting another

Peavey T40 in natural or black... I hate being skint

Its 20% bigger than a normal thunderbird

Try higher tension strings like the newtone ones, same gauge as regular strings but have a higher tension core so they would feel like normal strings when tuned down, at least that's my thinking on it I may be wrong

Well my deko b-30 bk arrived today and here's my thoughts so far......The action is fine out the box (once it was tuned up) one tiny blemish on the top near the EQ section and a black mark on the binding at the soundhole, there are also a few loose fret ends on the treble side but tbh nowt that half an hour with some superglue and a clamp won't fix! The bronze strings that came on it are alright for now, not sure about what I'll put on maybe some nylons? Sounds pretty good acoustically and trough my amp oh and it's a 5 string fretless according to the label, So in all for £43 it's A fantastic wee (big) bass that'll come in handy I recon

Edit. Is it bad that I'm considering the 5 string fret less 😁

I caved and ordered one of the black 4string fretted ones. It should be here soon

Been having a look at one of these for a little while and if you compare the models on the thomman website the main difference is tbe decoration basses have 23 frets to the standard models having 24 frets.

This is the 'decorative' bass

This is the normal model

Identical apart from the number of frets

I've had pretty good results with plastikote spray cans.

Three which is the most amount I've had in the last 9 years.

1. MIJ Fender Deluxe Jaguar
2. Korean epiphone thunderbird modded with gibson pups and a hipshot supertone
3. Unknown brand p bass bought from a mate for £30 with EMG pickup, wilkinson bridge and brass nut.

Covers most bases nicely for my needs

Yeah my jag is fairly quiet but I have ordered some shielding paint to give the cavities another coat and to link them all together

Hipshot ones are pretty good from my experience

Bass playing friend of mine has just bought one of these exactly the same as this one. I've had a play on it and was pretty smitten with it. Really lovely neck,great range of tones and impeccable fit and finish. These were never on my radar before but definitely are now. I've just sold my Jazz too.hmmmm........

I got mine from red dog music in Edinburgh for a good price. Although on the website when I ordered it they had the pic of the older one up 3ts, born tort pg and 80's pickup spacing and was pleasantly surprised when I got one of the newer ones.

Me and the mrs were over in Edinburgh on monday and while doing the rounds of the music shops on our route I came across a new MIJ Fender Deluxe Jaguar, we didnt have time for me to have a right go on it but after a bit of a conflab on the way home I ordered it online when we got back home. It arrived this mornkng and after having a lil time to play around with it i can say its a cracking bass, although my one gripe would be that the sheilding on all the cavities haven't been linked so unless I'm touching a metal part there is a bit of a background hum, nowt a wee bit of copper tape and an hour wont cure though. I might change out the scratchplate though, not a massive fan of parchment/mint I think it'd look better with black or brown tort

Gah i would love this and i have the build fir it as well 😆, sadly the wife just booked and paid for a holiday so i cant afford it 😢 have a free bump though

Digitech bad monkey is another cheap option

Yeah but I went with a higher quality OBBM version so I have no bleed, cheaper cables might be wired less carefully.

Cool cheers Ste

After reading pt6 would something like this be the ticket when using the sonic port to record the two channel set up into a PC?
