Not that Marvin. I'm less original. These days I've got an M-Audio 192/14 as I outgrew both the Solo and 4i4, but my incapability to control myself could be your gain. As with my effects pedal clearout thread, I'm happy to post, meet or be collected from (Maidstone), and am always up for a offers and a good combo deal. I like Royal Mail for postage, and both of these are under the 2kg 'sod off' pricing limit. Descriptions first, pictures second. Scarlett Solo (£70) SOLD @ £60, in good used condition. Upgraded first to a 4i4 for more inputs, then further for 6, so this has been sitting around spare for a while - better that someone else make use of it! It's the USB Type-C model and is entirely USB powered, so no bulky and messy external power supplies. It has a single XLR in and also an instrument or line in, which is about all you'll need for your first home recording setup. It also has direct-monitoring via headphone and line outs for studio monitoring. The gain halos are the best indicator for clipping I've seen on anything not studio-level too. Scarlett 4i4 (£140) SOLD @ £123.50, also in good used condition. It's the Solo, but more so (which I'm not sure makes sense). It's also USB Type-C and powered entirely by USB. It has two combo XLR/phono, which are instrument switchable, and both have phantom power. There's an additional two line ins round the back, as well as four line outs. It also supports MIDI, so can really help cut down the amount of adapters and assorted crap on your desk.

Not to be confused with Marvin. I've decided (as I seem to about every three months) to completely rejig my pedal board, and I've decided to go with a MIDI enabled loop switcher. Anyway, that's pushed me towards a rethink, so what follows are the pedals that didn't make the cut for whatever reason. Some are definitely bass suitable, some less so, but hopefully it'll be interesting (bit of a forlorn hope but there we are). For postage I prefer Royal Mail. All of these come in under the 2kg when pricing gets steep. I'm open to offers, combo deals and definitely open for meeting up or collection from Maidstone. Here are the pedals (in roughly descending order of usefulness on bass, pictures at the bottom of the post): Two Notes Le Bass Preamp, £145: SOLD @ £140 Great tube driven bass preamp from Two Notes. Two channels, A and B. A is a 'clean' channel with 2-band EQ, but the valve still gets involved with the 'gain' knob. B channel is a top notch bass distortion, with a three-band EQ, with parametric mids. Lastly the 'fusion' mode (accessed by pressing both footswitches simultaneously) is a blend of the two (controlled by the fusion knob and with two modes 'hot fusion' and 'cold fusion'). Rounding out the feature set are the built in switchable cab sim for the DI outs (headphones, DI output and TS output), an effects loop, MIDI in and through, and through connection (which bypasses the preamp for parallel effects). Power supply included. Two Notes Captor 16 Reactive Load/Attenuator/DI, £125: SOLD @ £130 Great reactive loadbox for attenuating (-20dB/about 1/4 perceived volume) or silencing a tube/valve amp (up to 100W) for home use or silent recording. You can also go straight through (no attenuation) to just use its DI capabilities. It's got built in guitar and bass cab sims (which can be switched off) for the DI out, which can be phantom powered (48V). If it's 'just' attenuating or using the non-simulated output, no power is required (9V pedal power supplies can be used too). This is the 16 ohm model - so specifically for use with 16 ohm amp outputs and 16 ohm speakers. Some mismatch is possible, Two-Notes have some details on their website. ProCo RAT 2, £50: SOLD @ £50 Legendary RAT 2. Such a versatile pedal, running from a slight dirt boost, making the most of the EQ filter (with gain down and volume maxed), through distortion (at ~30-50% distortion) into fuzz. Best demonstrated by the incredibly diverse list of guitarists who use them. It's also a great bass pedal for a nasty distortion tone. The filter control is the best part (which works in the opposite way to a typical tone control), which is a really powerful all in one EQ. Little bit of a paint chip to the upper front edge. Beetronics Overdrive/Fuzz (Possible Distortion), £195: SOLD @ £185 Certainly tweakable for bass, but I used on guitar. Unique dual pedal from Beetronics. Each side is has an overdrive into a fuzz (Queen and King sides). There is a knob for each setting the blend of the two. The amount of overdrive is set with the 'Honey' knob. After that there's a master volume, wet/dry blend (great if you want a little edge to your clean signal for example) and a high/low EQ with 10dB of cut or boost. The left footswitch selects the Queen/King side (with LED indication), the middle turns the 'Buzz' setting on, which is a boost for the fuzz circuit high frequencies (without increasing volume). It's subtle, and adds just a little more edge when you want it. The right switch is the master on/off switch. I have it set up for classic rock levels of overdrive on Queen and fuzz on King, which can be made more aggressive with the 'Buzz' switch. I suspect it'll work pretty well on bass, with the dry blend and fuzz-focus, but I have to admit I never really tried it... Zander Effects Avalanche Crunch, Overdrive and Fuzz, £95: SOLD @ £70 Zander effects triple circuit. The rightmost is the 'Crunch' circuit, giving some nice breakup. The centre is the overdrive circuit, whilst the left is the fuzz. They are all independent and stackable, and there's a lot of tweaking potential, with three clipping diodes selectable for each of the crunch and drive circuits. The bright and fat switches alter the crunch and fuzz respectively. Zander are a great UK-based pedal company, and this one was built in April 2020. Little bit of paint chipping to the leading edge of the enclosure. Boss AC-3 Acoustic Simulator Pedal, £85: SOLD @ £68 Acoustic simulator for electric guitars - great for those tracks with both acoustic and electric parts. Lots of adjustability to suit any pickup setup. It has a dual-output if needed (sends out to the desk/PA when switched on or through your amp when off), or just put it through your amp if it's relatively clean (which I think sounds the better of the two options). Small paint chips from the leading edge of the footswitch plate as seems to be the norm with Boss pedals, but otherwise in good condition. It's a lovely colour too... I'm not sure if I ever tried it seriously with bass, but I'm not sure that it would do a great job of that (wasn't that good for guitar to be honest, but it'll do a reasonable interpretation of the average acoustic line output).

Faith Patrick James Eggle PJE Legacy Neptune Baby Jumbo Electro Acoustic with Faith hard case. Lovely all-solid wood (spruce top, mahogany back, sides and neck) acoustic with Fishman's Flex Blend Acoustic Pre-Amp with condenser microphone and piezo combo, for a much more natural recorded sound than a plain piezo setup. It also has a hard to find 45mm nut width, rather than the more typical 43mm. Much nicer for those with larger hands. Condition is excellent, a couple of small scratches on the headstock and one or two pick marks on the body (impossible to photo - only seen with the light in exactly the right place). It's had home use only and I've kept it in its case with the D'Addario pro humidification system. Postage is possible, fully insured via UPS at £37.03. I am more than happy for the buyer to collect, and can deliver locally or meet mid-way. Oh, and the case lining isn't that pink in person! It's definitely red, but my phone camera seems to have had a right old time with it. The guitar is actually the right colour though! This is what Faith say about the Legacy Neptune: "The Sitka Spruce tops of these guitars have been kiln-aged through a process of torrefaction or torrefication. The Spruce is air dried before being roasted in a kiln with precise controls over atmospheric and oxygen levels to reduce its moisture content. Then as the wood cools, precise amounts of moisture are re-introduced to the wood. The resulting timber is more stable – always good when used as a topwood - and aurally, it produces a rich, mellow tone with a mature voicing which would take perhaps 20 years of waiting to achieve under normal circumstances. Treating Spruce this way has its benefits on the way it looks too with it taking on a golden-caramel colouring that sees this series radiate an authentic, grown-up vibe. They also feature solid high-figure, Flamed Maple bindings, Figured Ebony fingerboards and bridges, and bone nuts, saddles and bridge pins. Also for the first time in our history – each guitar has a solid Figured Ebony pickguard. This Faith Neptune model is based upon Patrick James Eggle's highly acclaimed 'Saluda' shape. A Baby-Jumbo size with a 16" lower bout, the Neptune is the perfect model for those seeking acoustic power without the physical bulk of a full-sized Jumbo."

Sold to Dubs!

Now Sold (via ebay).

Sold to, and collected by, Howie, thanks very much!

Very nice condition Hagstrom Swede bass, with a (not Hagstrom) gig bag. I've owned from new and it's a home-only instrument. The beauty of this instrument (apart from the looks - if I could justify it as an ornament I'd be keeping it!) is how versatile it is. The basics are two humbuckers with a dedicated volume and tone each, Les Paul style. However, the tone knobs pop up to split to single coils, which can be done per-pickup. The upper switch allows a quick change between neck only, both and bridge only pickups, whilst the lower switch is a filter. The middle position is the bypass, whilst down is a high cut and up is a mid and high cut. This means you can get some classic, almost flat-wound tones from a set of roundwounds, at the flick of a switch. There's a great video on Youtube showing the tones available: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8XvCUtJznc It currently has a set of D'Addario XL roundwounds, and I'll include a set of strap locks to fit the fitted buttons (the originals will be included too). Since I fitted some Aguilar pickups to my Ibanez EHB, the Hagstrom hasn't really had much of a look-in for what I generally play. I don't have a box or case for this bass, so collection, or local (ish) delivery or a meet-up will be necessary. Gives you the chance to have a proper look over and make sure you're happy too.

TC Electronic MojoMojo overdrive pedal. Much liked in the bass community as it has a 2-band EQ and the switchable voicing make it work rather well on bass. Since moving to a Le Bass preamp, I don't really have a need for two overdrives. Condition is very nice, only around 8 months old and home use only. Price includes UK postage, and collection/local delivery/meetups are all possible too.

Harley Benton amp isolation pad/stand/mat/thing. Stick this under your amp/cab to reduce the 'booming' through wooden floors. Size is 59cm x 39cm. Good condition as it's had home-only use. I've moved to a DI setup so I have no use for this now. Price is collection or local delivery/meetup (Maidstone in Kent), postage is likely to be around £7-8 (largely due to size rather than weight).

First Basschat sales post (well, second as this is a relist as the previous purchaser went AWOL - ebay I might add), so here goes! I bought this from glassmoon last November. I've had my fun with it, but it's a bit surplus to requirements now I've moved to a DI preamp and monitors solution (only play at home anyway). Cosmetically this amp has lived a life, but it still sounds brilliant, with great Ashdown features like the (real) valve drive section, built in compressor and sub-harmonics. The built in DI works really well, and there's a substantial and powerful EQ section. If you get the optional footswitch, the drive, EQ and compressor can be switched easily whilst playing. Features: 500W RMS through a 2x10 speaker setup Tube/valve overdrive preamp Active/passive switch to suit any bass Input volume control with meter to correctly set up the preamp 7 band switchable EQ Switchable compressor Switchable sub-harmonics Line out and DI XLR for connection to additional amps or a PC for recording, or PA for live use Line input for playing along with tracks from an MP3 player or similar Tuner out & mute switch for silent tuning 4 ohm minimum load Hopefully the pictures convey the case's condition, which is structurally very sound, but has taken a few knocks as you'd expect for a gigged amp. The top corner protectors are missing a couple of screws, and the tolex/covering has a few patches knocked away. The front grille is likewise not quite straight any more (although difficult to photo), but still does its job and looks presentable enough. Collection only from Maidstone, Kent. This amp is a sizable and heavy beast so not really suitable for postage without the original packaging. I am happy to arrange a half-way meetup or local delivery within reason - contact me for more details.
