  1. Owned by me from new and has served me very well over the years, I'm only changing it as I find myself needing a separate volume control for the headphone socket.

     

    It's in great condition, the sale is for the unit only, no box, cables, manuals....

     

    £38.00 £35.00 including delivery to mainland UK

    If there's no interest I'll stick it up on eBay on Sunday.

  2. Picked this B stock Andertons own brand Strat up just before Christmas as it was an easy way to get a white body for a project guitar but I'm having second thoughts as it's rather good! I find myself playing it more than any of my more expensive guitars.

     

    I'll change the strings and put some Lemon Oil on the rather dry (12" radius) fretboard and live with it as is for now.

     

    Amazing what you can find for little money these days.

     

    Excuse the window reflections in the main head on pic.

  3. I picked up a pearloid scratchplate for my Squier Classic Vibe Mustang and whilst fitting it this afternoon I found this mess under the pickup! Silicone sealer holding what appears to be a magnet or plate and some bolts for the mounting screws, I can't seem to find a picture of the underside o f the standard pickup but I'm pretty sure the bolts and plate are additions? I'm not too fussed as the bass sounds very good indeed, I just re-soldered a couple of bits and put it back together for now.

    A very nice, free Spring Reverb from 'Klanghelm'. It's a direct download, no email address or sign up required. Also, not a download manager in sight.

    👍:D

    Thanks for the heads up, I've just downloaded their free saturation plugin IVGI and I'll give it a try later.

  5. Very sturdy but tiny bass amp head, it's rated at 20w but isn't particularly loud through an 8ohm speaker, I mostly used it as a bedroom practice amp with headphones,  it would probably be a whole lot louder through an 4ohm cab,  sounds good with guitar as well and the built in chorus is handy.

     

    It's in good shape but things to note, I removed the rubber feet from the bottom and added Velcro so I could put it on my guitar's pedal board, there's a small mark on the top left hand back corner, there's also some Velcro on the power supply.

     

    You can find more details and reviews by looking it up on Amazon.

  6. Bit of a rubbish picture but it shows I'm back owning a short scale again 🙂 no going back this time!  I got this messed about with Squier CV Mustang in a trade, I can get a really nice recorded sound with the tone rolled off a bit and it plays really well so I'm more than happy, if only it was white 😄

  7. I recently got a Squier Classic Vibe Mustang in a trade for a Precision, it has round wounds on it but I fully expected it to be a dull thumper, it's nothing of the sort! I love the recorded tone of them, according to the guy I got the bass from the standard pickups have been wax potted, I have no idea if that changes the tone but thought it was worth mentioning.

    And the EBS Valve Drive DI is powered with just 9V DC!

     

    Absolutely nothing to do with what kind of plate voltage the tubes in these units operate at, a lot of pedals, including this, ramps the voltage up or down internally depending on what the different components need to operate properly, as long as there is enough ampere to do so.

     

    Also preamp tubes works fine with so called starved plate voltage, they just work a little differently, not worse, when fed with less plate voltage than what they were originally designed to run optimally at (optimally here means distorting and coloring as little as possible, since that was pretty much unwanted artifacts in the original tube powered units these tubes were used in).

     

    Thank you for that information, much appreciated.
