Bidd

I'm currently looking to upgrade to a better bass and just want to aks a quick question. How does the sound and neck compare to a standard US Fender Jazz? Please excuse my ignorance, but I've never tried a Sterling (or any Musicman) before.

At a price like this I really want to go for it - even doing a round trip from the Northwest!

I've had nothing but glowing praise for the excellent quality of the DI whenever I've used my old ABM C110 combo to record or play live.[/quote]


When I say most I really only mean a couple (not giiged my amp that much!). I asked an engineer at the Masque (former Barfly) in Liverpool why he didn't use the DI output and pointed at the Ashdown sign and said "because of that" Apparently he has had bad experiences in the past (maybe its just him?)

Basically, I have a gig on Friday and was wondering if anyone could help me out with a query.

Usually at gigs we do, I run a bass guitar, into my pedal board with assorted stompboxes (tuner>compression>fuzz>dist>chorus), then into a DI box (provided by the sound engineer) that is connected to the input of the amp (my amp is an Ashdown and most engineers I've found do not like the DI output on ashdowns). I do not use the effects loop on my amp.

Tonight at practise I was offered a rack unit compressor/noisegate (the latter I could do with) by the rehearsal rooms' owner. When trying it, I connected that via the effects loop, so had bass into my effects board (minus my stompbox compressor) into amp, then the compressor/noisegate into effects loop. It sounded fine and it seemed to do the job well.

My concern is though (due to severe lack of knowledge) that at a gig, if the bass is DI'ed via a DI box connected to the input of my amp, am I correct in saying that the amp EQ and any effects connected in the effects loop will not be fed through the PA, as it is after that connection (my wording is terrible, sorry) and so only will affect the signal from my amp? I presume that the engineer will have a compressor anyway for all channels at his desk but am just wondering whether there is any point of buying/using this unit for gig situations. (I could ask the engineer to Mic the bass amp but would they be willing to do so?)

Sorry for the long muddled post. If any of you can make sense of it and help me with this I would greatly appreciate it. Cheers

A lovely town called Widnes, near Liverpool. I've sent you a PM anyway.

Would you be prepared to post this to the Northwest, and if so how much extra?

Whereabouts are you based?

Can someone else confirm that this is a good price? I'm VERY tempted but £875 is a lot of money to me.

Did you receive my PM?

Anyway I wouldn't blame you if you decided not to sell. I nearly bought one new myself a couple of years ago but decided on a cheaper bass so I could fork out on effects.

Would you be prepared to post this out? (to within England that is)

Actually I've been thinking about this a lot recently during rehearsal. I've been trying to do our songs without looking (they are pretty simple basslines though) but have then got a problem as to were to look during a gig.

Very pleasant to deal with. Great communication, instant payment, and very understanding and co-operative when I organised when and how to have the pedal sent to him. A credit to Basschat

It has been sold pending payment. If it falls through however I'll let you know

Bump.

I'm thinking now that setting a price may be a bad idea due to the condition of the pedal. Therefore I'm willing to listen to any offers (with around £5 for postage)

Not had a chance to try it out yet as I don't have an amp at home (both are in different practice rooms!). I have practice tonight though so I'm going to give it a run.

Since buying Kev's Big Muff, my Russian one has to go.

I bought this off ebay about a year ago, and when I bought the previous owner had for some reason (I can't remember why or how) had managed to switch all the three functions around i.e. the volume knob actually changes sustain, the tone knob changes volume and the sustain knob changes tone. There are labels printed on though so to avoid confusion. This doesn't affect the overall sound.

Another slight issue (which happened under my ownership) was that the black lead from the battery connector had snapped off (at the clip end, not the circuit board end), so I've had to reattach it via some soldering. It does work but it might be worth getting someone who's good at electronics to replace the battery clip to be on the safe side though.

I'm also throwing in a connector that attaches to the battery clip and can be plugged into a power brick. I will also send it in the box of the Muff that I've just received (US version).

Cheers for looking.

Is the Chorus still available?

and replied.

Just to let everyone know this has been provisionally been sold pending payment

[quote name='Kev' post='636786' date='Oct 26 2009, 10:59 AM']Price drop to £45, plus actual shipping costs, whatever method you like.[/quote]

Pmd

All PMs replied to.

Cheers for the interest

Right, this is the last bump before it goes on ebay.

You can now have this pedal, a bag, and the luxury of having it sent to your house (if its in UK, and if Royal Mail are not striking!) all for £110!!!.

Cheers for looking

Just checked Parcelforce, and they're quoting at least £35 for the basic delivery so it seems a little expensive. If you can find a delivery company that does it for less than £20 then I'll happily sell it.

I'll also have a look tomorrow and do a bit of research.

I've never posted to outside of UK before, so do you know what delivery service/company would be best to use?

Reduced to £130 (which includes P&P)

One week bump!

Now I've got a couple more stomp boxes, the multi-fx needs to go in order to bring my finances up to scratch. I bought this pedal from Finbar about 2 years ago on here and it is in still good working condition as it was back then.

Although I've since lost the manual, the power unit and a soft "Rok Sak" case is included (the shoulder strap is slightly damaged, but still does its job). The manual can be downloaded here:

Looking at other posts, I think £140 for everything is a fair asking price.

Cheers for looking.
