Foam Centre Glasgow, good bloke!

Might just buy some cheap wrapping paper

Hi I'm looking to get some custom foam cut for a flightcase. Does anyone know if there is an accurate Stingray outline drawing with dimensions for the foam people? Cheers S

Your pedal was made in Aug, 1983 Thanks

I just found the label attached to a strip of velcro and have just spent the last hour removing it! Bloody hell that stinky poo is strong!

Just dug out my old OC-2, going through a bit of a vintage pedal phase! Unfortunately, the label appears to be lost so I'm trying to date it, any ideas appreciated!

I have had various Sansamps and an EBS Microbass. Good pedals though it's only recently I've been ampless so difficult to compare, I have a Helix LT and a Stomp XL which sound great. I used the EBS straight to FOH a few times and I thought it was really good, though it was a while back. This wee thing, even though it looks complex, is actually very straightforward once i worked out what most of it does (I had to look at the actual Simplifier manual tho 😬). In headphones and through my studio monitors it really does sound good .... i feel bad but I'm a fan!

Picked up a SB315 for peanuts but the cost keeps going up! Absolutely great bass and slightly unusual as it has a transparent finish. I’ve removed the stock pre and installed an Audere which sounds tremendous. The plan being to replace the black hardware with gold but I can’t find a drop in bridge and I am scared of drills! I’m all set for the 80s revival.

I did a bit of research and it would appear to be a very faithful copy, apart for some switches. Also some pics I saw suggest the internal electronics are remarkably similar. Probably have build issues but it seems solid.

All in £83 (I think) took a week and a half to arrive.

Was looking for a preamp EQ type pedal for using at home and on impulse bought this Ly-Rock Tonemonster from AliExpress. In my defence I didn’t know it was such a rip off of the Bass Simplifier! Have to say it sounds really quite good tho! Dunno if it’s anything like the real thing. It is very tweakable got some really cool tones and seems very well made but still ….

Thanks so much mate.

Could double in the upright and get rid of my Headway maybe.

Nordstrand Starlifter Preamp? Phil Jones Bass PE-5 Preamp?

Cheers I must have been foxed by the size of the pic! Not that fussed re Ampeg but just looking for options. I just never used the EBS drive though I did use the 2nd channel. The MXR is good I had one before but I'm veering towards the bassbone which look enormous so maybe the EBS after all!

Bassbone autocorrects to Bassoon 🤣

Bassbone looks good!

I'd be looking at using a few different basses, some with pre-amps and some without. it's really so I can have a bit more control over the EQ. It's just an notion to have an analogue board instead of always using a Helix ... I suppose something like an Origin Effects bass rig could be good but expensive.

Hi I'm looking for for a DI with some tone shaping, I used to have the EBS Microbass which was great but it's a bit overkill, I don't need overdrive or an extra channel. But the tuner in the Microbass III looks very useful and the the send/return. I'm thinking of putting together a small analogue board which will go straight to the desk .... no amp. The Ampeg SCR-DI looks like a contender any recommendations much appreciated! Cheers S

Hi I was asked by Greg Lounsberry to review his Mo Bass pedal which I recieved a month or so ago and am a big fan of. The pedal is great with an overdrive and a clean boost, I was specifically looking for something to liven up my digital setup (Helix). Lounsberry are big in the world of Hammond organs and the keys player in my band is an endorsee and that's how I found out about them. Just for transparency I did get a wee discount because of Alan (keys) but I would have payed full price. I don't think a new career beckons, however here it is for anyone who is interested! https://youtu.be/NHK3ko-45h8

Not a great deal of bass related info on the pedals … lots of organ tho! I basically took a punt but very happy.

Just a wee update! Greg from Lounsberry posted my pedal immediately after ordering but the person in the US Post Office thought Scotland was in Australia (!!!!) so my pedal was off to the land down under! I could track it and everything. So Lounsberry posted me another pedal which has just arrived and much to my surprise and as an apology Greg include an Organ Grinder Pedal and a T Shirt. Completely unnecessary as no apology was needed but I’m very grateful for the pedals! Briefly tried both pedals and they both sound great, I can see one as an always on pedal and the other as an overdrive. The pedals are designed to add life to digital setups, I use a Helix and I’m very happy with it but hope this adds a bit of vibrancy. Can’t praise Lounsberry enough for customer service. Greg is a real gent and the pedals are quality.
