That's looking good, the barrel looks to be the right shape & dimensions, I'll give them a whirl. Cheers chief!
-
They could be an older style I guess, they're definitely not their current "infinity lock" ones
-
Are they? Be nice if they are, they're easy to get hold of. My Dunlops are flared at the end and have a wider channel in them, like these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Jim-Dunlop-Straplock-Dual-Design/dp/B0002CZVXM

What up gangstas, Can anyone ID this straplock? It's on a bass that has passed hands through three forum members now and none of us recognise them. Too fat for Schallers, that much I know. Can get some better pics in natural light tomorrow if needed. Cheers muchly in advance.

Bought Mark's Vintera jazz earlier today in a fantastic deal, he very kindly drove it down to the station to meet me from the train and we spent an hour over a coffee talking all things bass. Mark's a lovely bloke and the transaction couldn't have gone smoother, excellent communications and he responded to all my mithering in a prompt and friendly manner. Cheers Mark!

Bought a Squier Jag off Benedict in a superb deal, great communication and the bass turned up packaged fantastically, effortless transaction. Great little guitar that he's tricked out nicely, he was super helpful and responded quickly to all my queries, cheers Benedict!

"Tone Mallet", they're absolutely shameless lol, at least they've changed the name if not the livery this time tho. What's the build quality like, are there any grounding issues? Some of the DemonFx pedals I've tried felt like they were made out of recycled coke cans and buzzed pretty loudly when the controls were touched.

Bought a Maruszczyk jazz copy off Mac in a shockingly good deal, he'd not only restrung it with a fresh set of rounds but threw in the original set of TI flats to boot. Mac saved me a good couple of hours off my round trip from Leeds by coming into Newcastle to drop the bass off, we had a great chat over a coffee and the time literally evaporated. Mac's a lovely bloke to deal with, friendly and knowledgeable and replied to all my niggling questions promptly and courteously. Cheers Mac!

Bought a Squier 40th Jazz off of Bobby, not just a great bit of kit at a fantastic price but he went well above and beyond and delivered it to me next day to boot. We had a great chat for a half hour or so, Bobby's a lovely bloke with some cracking stories who's worked with some legit legends, well jelly. Cheers Bobby, very much appreciated.

EHX Bass Preacher for sale, nice straightforward little compressor with controls for the amount of compression (sustain), makeup gain (volume) and a choice of three attack/release ratios. There's an internal trim pot (WHY) to set the parity volume, it's a little quiet by default so I've tweaked it so you're at parity with both dials at noon. Does the job well, if you're after an always-on "thickening" type compressor without any additional bells and whistles this is a good choice. Youtube demo: 60 notes posted.

Digitech Bass Driver Overdrive / Distortion - £50 posted
Schlippy posted a topic in Effects For Sale
As-new Digitech Bass Driver for sale, can't find the box but it'll be well packaged. Nice little dirt this, goes from relatively subtle grit at one end of the "Morph" (where's Chas?) dial to ODB-3 style distortion around the middle and full-blown fuzz at the other end. Lots of decent tones to be had from it, and it's not as "fizzy" as the pedals it takes inspiration from. Apparantly has a cab sim on the second output which is accessed by holding the footswitch down when you power the pedal on, but I haven't used that so can't comment on it. Pretty decent demo of the kind of sounds you can expect to get out of it: 50 notes posted. -
Bought a fuzzbox off James, timely & informative comms and the pedal was delivered promptly in great packaging, cheers James.

Bought a couple of basses off Dave in one of the easiest distance sales I've done. Dave was an absolute pleasure to work with the entire time, comms were friendly, quick and thorough throughout. Did me a great deal on two axes, a pickup and a bridge, and went so far above and beyond with the packaging it's not even funny. Like, I'm pretty autistic thorough when it comes to sending guitars through the mail but Dave went even further than I would - both guitars were compress-wrapped with bubble wrap into containers (the original box and a hard case), which were then further compress-wrapped into larger boxes. There must have been a good 2-3 inches of bubble wrap and at least 2 double-walled cardboard sleeves between the outside world and the axes themselves; they would probably have survived a direct missile strike, the lads in the Parcelforce warehouse had no chance of making a dent lol. He put up with my barrage of nitpicky questions with good grace and put a lot of time and effort into the transaction that he absolutely did not need to, I'm beyond impressed. And the guitars are great too, cheers Dave!

Source Audio Aftershock Bass Distortion - *SOLD*
Schlippy replied to clauster's topic in Effects For Sale
Yeah, these are mint. You can get a zillion sounds out of them, and even if you don't fancy fiddling with the software the stock ones are all great. The desktop / laptop software is much easier to use than the phone app, but that's down to how many things there are to configure - it's difficult to fit all the options onto the smaller screen of a phone. -
Bought a guitar & case off Paul in an absolutely fantastic deal, took a little longer to collect than I'd hoped thanks to trains being out but Paul couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful. Great comms throughout and a lovely bloke to boot, highly recommended, cheers Paul.

Calm down, it's the solid state versions, no valves here I'm afraid. Early/mid 80's (not sure of the exact year, they were in production from 1983-1988 and the 'R' at the end of the serial number would suggest 1983 but can't be sure) Marshall 5520 bass combo plus the 1934 extension speaker that was made for it. According to drtube dot com: JCM800 5520 Bass, 160W 1×15″ bass combo This solid state bass combo was in production from 1983 upto 1988. It was fitted with a 15″ Celestion G15Z-200 T3629 8Ω 200W speaker. JCM800 1934, Bass 1×15″ 150W 8Ω cabinet. These cabinets were in production from 1983 up to 1986. It fitted with a “specially made Celestion” 15″ 8Ω 150W speaker. This cabinet was primarily meant as an extension cabinet for the 5520 Bass combo. Dual channel combo with a built-in compressor, 4-band EQ on channel A along with a pre-shaped "contour" EQ that does the whole boosted bass & treble / scooped mids thing, along with a 3-band EQ with a different mids frequency on channel B. Comes with a non-original PEDL10013 footswitch (they don't make the originals any more, alas, but any dual latching footswitch will work), without the footswitch connected it defaults to channel A with the compressor enabled, which is the most useful / verstile configuration in my opinon. On the back there are two speaker outputs for 4/8Ω speakers, along with a send/return loop and a 6.35mm DI. Both in fantastic nick, no marks or dings on the tolex and everything's in full working order. Last serviced by Marshall in January 2020 and mostly unused since then, I've seen the internals described as "big 'n' beefy and easy to service". Dimensions for both are 57cm wide x 62cm high x 34cm deep. They're pretty heavy so collection only, the combo weighs 33kg and the extension speaker is a further 25kg. I literally can't get these up and down the stairs any more since I slipped a disc so off they go. 225 notes collected from just outside Leeds.

Various FX Pedals - More Pedals Added!

It's only a tiny issue, but on android the notifications sent by the app/site don't get dismissed when they're clicked on. They redirect to the correct page but stay active in the notification log and have to be manually dismissed. Can get confusing if you've got multiple conversations on the go but like I say, hardly a showstopper. I don't know if this is configurable server side, usually it just requires setting a metadata tag on the notification payload but I dunno how much of the internal workings Invision exposes in this regard. Tried on 2 different android phones and happens on both, not sure about iOS.

20 watt Peavey Microbass practice amp, solid state combo with a 1x8" speaker, has controls for input gain and a 3-band EQ as well as a 6.35mm headphone jack for silent practice.

Weighs 8.4kg / 18.5lbs, dimensions are 32cm wide x 36cm high x 24cm deep. Surprisingly capable little amp with tons of low end, perfect for bedroom or garage use. 35 notes posted, or you can knock a fiver off for collection.
