  1. Can't believe this hasn't been snapped up - if I didn't already have an EVO IV I'd have it!
  2. You were luck not to bid tbh. I just checked the completed listings - the seller stole the photos and details from a genuine sale that ended yesterday. The give-away is a new seller with zero feedback with an item listed hugely under value. If it looks too good to be true...
  3. I'm a big Ashdown fan too, and this is a nice, well built, solid sounding pedal, but as you suggest £300 is possibly too much considering the competition. £129 is very good value considering what it can do, and I'll be hanging onto it for sure!
  4. It arrived yesterday and sounds very nice on my initial test, but you make a good point so I plan to AB it with my baseballs tomorrow to see! What I think is good is that the drive and wah are independently footswitchable, which means I easily have three sounds from one pedal, plus you can post/pre the drive with a switch, so that gives a fourth - good for pedalboard real estate!
  5. @Cosmicrain that looks absolutely stunning!!! Thanks for all your hard work - can't wait to get my hands on it now!!!
  6. Hi All, I've just ordered one of these and thought I'd share. PMT are selling these for £129 on the website, which is about £100 cheaper than anyone else and the RRP is £299! Handmade in the UK, tube powered funkiness! https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/ashdown-funk-face-stuart-zender-signature-twin-dynamic-filter-pedal Can't wait to try it!

  8. @stewblack, it would appear that Ashdown have used the same basic chassis for their new ProFX range, so these would presumably fit the board. Am seriously reconsidering now 😬 Only problem is I really want to get that barefaced cab. Might have to find something else to sell 😂
  9. Yep that's effectively what I was running. I used it in small and large venues and it was good solid little rig.
  10. Yep, I had a Original C112-300 combo for a while that had that head in. It didn't quite have enough power to cut it in a 3 piece pub band with its internal 8ohm 12 inch speaker. I added another 8ohm 12 inch cab under it so it was running into 4ohms into 2 speakers, and it was then it was fine for a reasonably sized venue or anywhere with PA support. They do a 500w version though that might just be worth the extra cash imo.

    So..Sire

    I've got 2 x V7 version 2's, one Fretless and one 4 string vintage. I think for the money they are fantastic - easily on par with many instruments twice the price. The preamp is great, but I also knock it into passive mode a fair amount too. Both sound great live or recorded. Can't see me selling them, they're not worth much second hand and great just for going to Jams or gigs in dodgy pubs where I wouldn't want to take my Stingray or more expenive gear. Have had zero quality issues with either of mine and they always make me smile when I play them I'd buy another tomorrow if I needed one.
  12. This has been my go-to practice tool over lockdown, but I got a Positive Grid Spark from the Mrs for Christmas which I have finally got my head around and am using almost exclusively, so this is up for grabs to help me fund a Barefaced cab! Pre Helix but loads of quality usable sounds. Aux in and headphones out make it ideal for home use, but also great for live use, plus you can plug it into your PC to use as an interface, and covers Bass, Guitar and Vocals, so does an awful lot for not much money. Loads of info available online if you want to see what it can do. Come with power supply and a folder of instructions. Condition is good, minor scuff from use but no cracks or dents. Will be reset to factory defaults before sale. Prefer (Socially distanced) collection from Chelmsford, but will post at cost.
  13. Really nice. Just up the road from me too! **Hastily buys a lottery ticket 😂
  14. The Doctors note is an Envelope Filter, so already has that! 😁. If I was going to keep it for small gigs the only thing I might do is swap the delay or verb for an Octodose, which pop up on eBay every so often for not much. The Hayden guitar pedals use the same chassis so they might do a worthy distortion pedal. I just looked on eBay and there's a listing for a Bearded Lady for £99 on its own. 😯. It's a great Fuzz but think that's wildly optimistic but even so 🤔
  15. It's a lovely set, ideal for smaller gigs where you need a hand full of different tones. Very small foot print too. Maybe I should keep it 😬
  16. For sale is my Ashdown "Dr Green" effects housed in a heavy duty metal pedalboard. I understand these were originally sets taken to shows by Ashdown as demo units, and I bought it from them direct last year. Contains: Tune Up - Tuner, Doctors Note - Envelope Filter Aspirin - Compressor Bearded Lady - Fuzz Waiting Room - Delay Bass Verb - Reverb It would probably originally had an Octodose instead of the delay originally, but I really wanted the delay and verb to combine together as I was going through a bit of a "Steve Lawson" solo bass phase last year (badly) 😂. I initially linked the board to a looper at Home which was great fun. These are decent effects, nothing ground breaking but a good solid board. They take some tweaking, sometimes using fairly extreme settings on the dials to get the sound you want, but the sounds are definitely there. I particularly like the Bearded Lady and the Verb, so much so that I ended up taking it apart and integrating these two into my main board. However I've scaled that back a bit now and these have now been removed again and the set is all back together. As tempted as I am to keep it it is really now surplus to requirements now and ideally I'm trying to raise some cash to buy a Barefaced cab! They are in excellent order, with only the Waiting Room pedal really showing any obvious marks, and the odd scuff on the board itself. The board is built like a tank, with all a wiring hidden and the pedals held on by the battery compartment screws and the jack nuts (see pics). All it needs to run is a 9v 500ma supply which are a few quid on Amazon if you don't have one already. There's no risk of velcro coming off or accidentally knocking out cables with this, I think you could drop it down the stairs and it would still work 😃 Asking for £150 - thats basically £25 per pedal! Would much prefer collection (socially distanced) but will post at cost. Alternativelty I could be tempted to trade for a quality compressor or interesting effects of some kind.

  18. Wow, don't know how I missed this thread until now - absolutely beautiful work there @Cosmicrain @Bass Culture is one lucky guy! Now the question is, could you make a 34" scale 6 string version for me 😁
