Cheers Paul, let me have a look! -
Ah indeed….! Just been going thru a lot personally, and the gigs are just not progressing where we want - on top I’m trying to drop down to London less and that’s where the boys are set so it’s all come together to beg me for a break…! … such a majestic board though. Keeping broadcast compressor and capo should do me good as a mini board to noodle around at home or do something out of the house too if I need to.

PENDING Barefaced Big Twin II Gen3 - *SOLD*

Hmmm yeah I could potentially do indeed Paul! -
£1600 to sort/hold before Saturday before it goes elsewhere. Taking a long break (maybe retiring!) from stages, I have bits and bobs to let go of. Could be teased with a Precision like a limelight, potentially bravewood, but I'm more a P man than a J so here goes - ridiculous neck, you've been warned!! From Jon Shuker himself: 4 string 34" scale 20 frets gentle c carve 5A master grade roasted flame maple neck (the fingerboard is separate but made from the same wood blank and then glued back on after the installation of….) two way truss rod carbon fibre reinforcement Schaller BM tuners bone nut Stainless steel jumbo fretwire Gloss polyurethane lacquer on board satin polyurethane on the back of the neck Abalone inlay dots Luminlay side markers Alder body usual forearm and ribcage contours reduced heel and recessed fixings polyester basecoat Light blue polyurethane topcoat, gloss Mint green scratchplate Chrome hardware Gotoh multi tonal bridge (19mm spacing) control plate Aguilar 70's pickups Shuker / hiscox logo hardcase The bass is from 2020 so very new - only the slightest buckle rash that is likely to be removed with some rubbing or cleaning product? BASS HAS BEEN SETUP AND FRETS CROWNED TO PERFECTION NOW THAT THE WOOD IS SETTLED. Selling it for a firm £1700, same as it cost me to have it as is (setup work and crowning was paid on top of the £1700). Notice this bass would be about £3400 to build today...

Thank you!!! It’s an amazing cab, I love it - it’s just I can do with smaller since I’ll be back to bedroom bassist for the foreseeable future! -

Hmmm! They now do these ‘max bore’ size that may fit in? Up now there’s 4 different sizes

I am using it in a punk trio where I do a breakup point clean and distortion sounds out of the Capo and route all the effects on the loops mostly. I'm also starting to venture into another band which is more grunge / hard rock on the same settings... ... I play mostly a passive Shuker bass on Daddario stainless steel strings, but my other basses are a Squier Classic Vibe on Chromes and a MM Stingray Special on nickel NYXL - I reckon I have to work a bit more on the Stingray tones by adjusting the EQ as it is more treble forward than the Shuker J with Aggies 70s. Killing the tweeter and/or reducing the Treble on the Capo seems to be a step in the right direction - I normally keep my Mesa head flat all the way everywhere...

Since I’ve ran out of excuses, space, outputs and money to buy more pedals, I have decided to treat my board (more like treat myself!) to Barefoot buttons. I have chosen those Tallboys and different sizes/heights, which helps a lot to stomp on the upper row, now it’s a breeze and I don’t have to stomp with the tip of my foot. Different heights also help with narrow spacing between footswitches like my Mastro Valvola pedals. Also, they have transparent buttons if which I used where the LED is too close to the footswitch so that I can see thru the colour… bought them from thorpyfx if anyone’s interested (zero affiliation) since there’s no other distributors that I know of in the UK.

Limelight P Bass - Further Price Drop - £900 - *SOLD*
Ander87 replied to bagsieblue's topic in Basses For Sale
This would look great on stage with a punk rock band. Oh shoot, exactly what I play!! 🥲 -
Chris bought my power supply and gig bag - speedy communications and payment, no messing about and a great guy to deal with. Would most definitely deal with Chris again.
-
We may well be. Both versions have the OFF1 pedal too. Mind you, Joe copied me on the B&W profile picture, he may be the one with some actual talent, but I’m the B&W OG. Best, MrDinsdale.
-
Yep - it's pretty amazing, I have it set up as 2 gain stages from break up point to distortion, then fuzz on top with the OFF1. I could see it working beautifully too with one stage of gain and then OFF1 on low gain setup for the distortion, it'd work too. The Broadcast on the pre loop does sharpen it up and I do love it as a boost to squeeze the Capo yet more too...! It is pricey, but for my case (dodged taxes somehow ) it was as much as a King Tone Duellist (which I considered) but with the added DI post/pre and the post/pre loops... No brainer if you ask! PS: Just conscious the last page or so have clearly become 'The Joe & Ander Show' lol apologies! hopefully the impressions are useful to others

Oh shoot! Thanks and apols, this can be closed!

I just took my board to a gig in Leicester without any other backline other than an old trace Elliot 1x15/12? house combo. I sent my post DI to the FOH, the output to the Effects Loop return of the Capo... Love the presence of this thing especially when combined with the Broadcast, extends the distortion range on B>A (my preferred setup to high gain) whilst keeping it thick and at point of breakup on side A. Very happy - I designed my board to have enough redundancy to not need to bring my Mesa WD800/BT2 for short/less relevant gigs. Worked an absolute treat!
-
Stumbled across this… loved the saturated/distorted tones, giving me one-switch Capo vibes in terms of character. “Luckily” I’m sorted for pedals (he says…)
-
Discontinued, some scratches and no box, amazing sounds with the three modes on the mini switch. I love it, think it's THE chorus but surplus to requirements as a more regular redwitch empress does the job for me. Very collectable as they're now discontinued, happy to hear offers? Absolutely zero need for any other pedals, but could be teased with a Korg/novation/arturia synth? -
As the title, coming from an original STINGRAY SPECIAL 4HH. New and original these things go at £80 these days talking from experience, so assuming that's fair. -
Selling some stuff I had around the house no longer in use. Daddario Speaker cable - £5 Levi's MS26 strap £10 Add postage on top, and more than happy to bundle up if interested in more than one thing. Best, Ander. -
The weight alone…! I haven’t played anything else since I tried BF but of course second hand as new they’re prohibitive now…!

Did some cable management on my completed board. the good thing about these Rockboard pedalboards is that they come with lots of railing so that you can hide the cables from the pedals side and keep them all under. as an example, I cabled up the compressor directly to the capo input carrying the cable underneath the broadcast instead of around… same for the power cables etc. it may not be too obvious versus previous pictures, but this and a couple cable ties underneath and I’m a happy guy. it’s gotten bad now though, officially a bigger board than my guitarist, what has the world come to! all these hours ‘invested’ in pedalplayground have definitely paid off, everything fits down to the millimetre, Jesus! PS: I’m also hiding the voltage doubler (truetone) under the central pilar of the pedalboard - now it’s running at 24V 😊
-
Ditto! the fuzz sounded great through the monitors/FOH too and think the LPF had something to do with it. Funny enough the Mesa WD800 doesn't add a lot of colouring, just a bit more compression and presence (likely due to the passive mids control as I keep all else pretty flat) so I plug the pedalboard on the input (not the return of the effect loop on the head) as it's easier to adjust volumes and dial in EQ from there if need be.
-
Ahar! Yep I've had the Six10 and love it - I just switched to the Big Twin cause black grill and my Mesa head work better lol. TBH I do think the 12" suits me better for a modern style and more transparent/less colour sound helps me as I have the Broadcast and Capo, but I'd gig the Six10 any day. Back from last night's concert and it's been my most even, best sounding tone - cutting through clearly without overwhelming the rest of instruments, B>A with gain at 3 o'clock brought the right distortion although knowing myself next time I'll try maxing it out. I used to have more gain on my Darkglass stuff (my reference point) and other pedals I've had but it would cut through less to be honest! I've placed mini stickers on the settings of my pedals now as the safe spots or preferred tones but I'll still try more fine tuning Loving this Capo!
