  1. A used Yamaha BB414 in an off-white/cream colourway. Bought as my backup bass but I never really use it, and would like to upgrade to a 5 string. The good: - Great neck, I love the grain of the wood. It does look like it has some dings but they are just spots in the wood, not dings. - Recently set up with a good action, and new Ernie Ball Cobalt strings - 45-105 - Relatively few dings for a used bass, but please see pictures for the few that I could find The bad: - The 3-way pickup selector does not work. So at the moment, you cannot switch between pickups. This will need replacing. I've done some reading (on this here forum!) and it seems this is a fairly common issue with these 414s, and I don't really want to go to the trouble of fixing it in a backup bass (nor do I know how!!!) hence price. On further inspection, the switch DOES work. It was just loose, and wasn't selecting between split and bridge pickups. Having now packed the back panel with some parcel paper to ensure the switch stays firmly in place, it does successfully switch between pickups - I've just tested it. This is a crude solution admittedly, so I'll keep the price the same. - A few cracks in the lacquer near the pickups, and one near the truss rod. I have pictured these. The ugly: - None! There's nothing ugly about this bass, I love the matching colour of the body and headstock. Collection only from Portsmouth please.
  2. So this is the board currently. A lot of new pedals I haven't tried in the rehearsal room yet: the OC5, MBD2, 420 Fuzz, BF2 and DD3 (so nearly all of them then...) Had most of the Darkglass preamps (B7K, ADAM, AOU, Photon) before, then got the Bass Butler. Sold it, tried a few more (including multifx) and realised that the Bass Butler really is the sound I was looking for. Just sounds brilliant, and the extra distortion stage comes in handy. I also just like buying and trying different pedals. 😅 Had an HX Stomp and just got frustrated with the menus, didn't have the patience for it. Love the simplicity of the BB. Really looking forward to pairing it with the MBD2 and the 420. I kind of know what to expect from the BF2 and the delay, but interested to hear how the MBD2 and 420 work in a real space.
  3. Woof. And just over the water too! I wish I had money. Have a bump GLWTS
  4. Has the Fuzzrocious been relegated to the drawer, @Ander87? I would consider buying it back off you 😅

  7. Hi all, Ive given it a go and I'm just a pedals guy. I like buying pedals, I like stomping pedals. So this HX Stomp I bought off Reverb last week is up for sale.

Does not include PayPal fees. Earliest I can get this sent is Monday. Thanks!
  8. Darkglass Alpha Omega Photon Preamp, EQ, Compression, Distortion, DI, Cabsim, Headphone out...it's got everything. Bought second hand and while I do like it, it's just a little too much bells and whistles for me. Original box and goodies included. £350 £320 posted in UK, payment via PayPal F&F or add for fees.
  9. Just checking into this thread as I am now an HX Effects owner, but also very uncreative and lazy so need some inspiration. Will be giving it a thorough read shortly!
  10. A handful of pedals up for grabs: Fuzzrocious Lil Fella - £110 Line 6 Verbzilla - £SOLD TC Electronic Vortex Flanger - £SOLD All in excellent condition, though I'd describe the Verb as just 'good' - it's a little discoloured but that's it. Postage included, but not PayPal fees. Or feel free to use Friends and Family.
  11. Orange Bass Butler A great pre-amp with bi-amp capabilities. So split your signal into dirty and clean amps. A really really awesome preamp that I am only moving on as I'm taking a different direction with my playing. Original box included, and includes a plug. Please note this runs on 18V only. https://orangeamps.com/bass-butler-preamp/ £190 includes postage in UK and Friends and Family PayPal payment. Add fees for Goods and Services payment please. Orange Fur Coat Fuzz A gnarly fuzz that also has an octave up. In good condition save for a few scuffs on the decal. No box. £SOLD Boss TU2 tuner 😅 It's a tuner. In a roadworn colourway. It works as you'd expect. No box. £SOLD
  12. Gallien-Krueger MB115-II 200W Bass Amp. Loud and surprisingly lightweight for the power. Used but in good nick. Comes with Thomann protective case, and power cable. Collection only from Portsmouth please. Blurb: The Gallien Krueger MB115-II offers unmatched high end bass tone that is flexible, portable and powerful. All from a 200W, 1 x 15 combo. A longtime favorite of the biggest session artists in the industry, GK’s MicroBass remains the standard for high quality compact bass amplification in and out of the studio. Used alone or with the 112MBX extension cabinet, this little powerhouse delivers a surprisingly large and articulate sound. Digital power amp Four band EQ XLR direct out Chain out Aux. in Headphone output
  13. I can now join this thread as I'm the proud owner of a BB414. First time Yamaha owner, I was originally after a low-to-mid range Squire/Fender P to mess around on but after spotting this for ~£150 delivered, I pulled the trigger. Couldn't be happier, neck is nice and slim and it feels great to play. Needs a setup and a clean so will be doing that before properly putting it through its paces. Has some cracks in the lacquer by the pickups but I'm not fussed about that all - in fact I'm dead impressed overall for the notes spent on it.
