    I keep coming back to this, but just a little too heavy for me! Someone is going to love it though!! Si

    Got a weight handy? Cheers Si

    Anyone around the High Wycombe/ Bucks  area got a rectangular guitar box that would be suitable for shipping a bass?

      I've got 2 rectangular guitar boxes I need to get shot of. One is 122 x 52 x 20cm, the other is 125 x 50 x 18cm. I'm a little further away in London N4, but if either are any use to you give me a shout.

    I'm looking to move on my Elrick NJS 5, I love this bass but realistically don't play enough 5 string to keep this amount money wrapped up in it. This is NOT one of the cheap Korean built Cort NJS’s, this is one of the European (Czech) built Elricks (think Spector Euro), then setup by Rob in Chicago, so extremely well built, with US Bartolini Pickips and Preamp, as well as the following: Features: - 35″ scale - 24 frets + zero fret - 9.1 Lbs. - Gloss Piano Black Finish - 3-piece Quarter-Sawn Maple Neck Ebony Fretboard - 2-way adjustable truss rod - Bartolini Jazz pickups (Made in the USA) - Bartolini 3-band pre-amp w/2-way mid and active bypass (Made in the USA) - Fully shielded control cavity - Black Elrick Hipshot Ultra-light tuners - Black Finish Elrick bridge – by Hipshot (Made in the USA) - Dunlop Dual Design strap buttons (Straplok compatible!) (Made in the USA) - Currently strung with La Bella RX Steels 45-130. I think I have a couple of spare sets too. - Original Elrick hard case The bass is in excellent condition, with only a tiny little nick in the finish on the top edge of the body, see the very last photo. While cash is king, I am potentially up for trades or part-ex's along the below lines in no particular order, all 4 string and no heavier than 9lbs. I could potentially add a little money for the right bass: - Elrick NJS4 - Spector Euro P/J - 70's Fender Precision or Jazz - Lakland Dual J, 44-60 or HB-30 - Zon Sonus - De Gier Soulmate - Fender Japan Precision or Jazz - Rickebacker - Guild Starfire II Try me on other stuff for sure. Sold You can hear one of its slightly more livelier tones on this track: Cheers Si

    Yeah, that’s primarily how I’ve used it for the past 5 years or so, as a headphone amp practice tool, so will be fun to get it out on some gigs. The ‘colourful knob’ pedal is a Fuzzdog DIY Tall Font Russian Fuzz with clean blend, mids & diode lift. I wanted something that kinda did what my custom Cog Tarkin does on my main board (similar feature-set, but with an added Gate). This is very cool, but really quite different sounding to the Tarkin, even though that is also based on a Green Muff. So we’ll see if this stays, will gig it and see. Keen to try the MXR Bass Fuzz too. Cheers Si

    The way I have the SOL fixed to the underside (Velcro and a long cable tie), it does sit a little further down than the stock Nano feet can cover. So I bought some larger feet from B&Q for about £2.50 (pic 1 below). They actually fit perfectly over the stock feet (pic 2), pushing on nicely (pic 3), and then popping off to go back in the bag. Gives you a slight rake/angle when in use which is nice (pic 4). In this setup you may well find a ‘naked’ 1590a would fit, I don’t think it would with just the stock feet. Cheers Si

    Made a few changes to my small/‘fly board’. Off comes the CAPO and on goes the Enabler and Cog 66. All on a Pedaltrain Nano powered by a Cioks SOL: Cheers Si
  8. Sibob
    That’s fair! 🙂 Si

    Don’t suppose there’s any interest in a trade for a Serek 4 string? 😅 Si

    I’m in this year from the perspective of spending ‘new’ money (baby daughter arrives in 2-3 weeks!!), but I’m not ruling out buying something after selling something……I’ve got a couple of ideas haha. Si
  11. Sibob
    Lakland have had the HB30 body shape for around 10 years now, they were just sunburst and introduced the black colour around 3 or 4 years ago. I’d love to gig one! Si

    Counterfeits are gonna counterfeit 🤷‍♂️ Si

    Probably, plus a wish to try and create some kind of design branding…..but hasn’t gone well IMO 😅 Si

    Finished my back-up/‘fly board’ last night: Tuner -> Fuzzdog Tall Font -> MXR Octave -> Corona Chorus -> CAPO All powered by a Cioks SOL on a Pedaltrain Nano. Sounds great, and a purposefully smaller package (less pedals tbf) than my main Noble board. Si
  15. Sibob
    It genuinely boggles my mind that someone at an approval level went “yeah that’s fine, let’s run with that”. Si
  16. Sibob
    Those lower horns are a swing and a miss aren’t they. Also goes to show that not everyone can design a decent looking single-cut. G-series could be interesting though, Godin vibes probably. Si
  17. Sibob
    Are the dots on the ‘frets’? Or between as per a fretted bass? Si
  18. Sibob
    Great pedal, but I’ve been using it with a Chorus toneprint and so just replaced it with a Corona Mini instead. Great condition and boxed. £50 inc UK postage. Open to trades….but not really wanting for much at the mo….so I dunno….try me? Haha Cheers Si

    MXR M80

    Sibob replied to JosephMartyn's topic in Effects

    While it would end up being a little extra space, you're probably better getting an MXR M81 and a decent overdrive to sit next to it! Si

    I don’t suppose anyone has any of the following Davies 1510 knob colours going spare? 1x Pink 1x Transparent 1x Violet Cheers Si
  22. Sibob
    Agreed, him and Liam Wilson of Dillinger Escape Plan/John Frum/Azusa/In Flames Si

    Does make me wonder how long I should hold on to my 3Leaf Enabler lol….gonna be worth loads in a few years 😂. Si (It’s not for sale, sounds great!)

    Hey bud, Mine is a custom shop job from Ryan at Fuzzrocious direct. Cat Tail + Clean Blend in a 1590B enclosure. When he did mine, he also built two others to the same spec, but they got snapped up pretty quick: All that to say that I’m sure Ryan would build another. The Cat Tail are a tweaked Rat pedal ‘on steroids’ with variable clipping in the Highs and Lows (the 1 & 2 controls), Diode switching, and then the standard Rat controls (plus clean blend in my case. They were previously called Rat Tails before Pro Co threw a wobbler. Probably loads of band recordings of them, but none that I know of specifically, other than I definitely know Brian Cook uses a standard (ie no clean blend) Rat/Cat Tail as an ‘always on’ for Sumac, so you can hear it in the various vids of them live (such as below). That said, he’s tuned down to low G or something, so might not give you an accurate impression of what you’d be getting with your setup haha. 50 minute set….4 songs 🤘 Si

    Boss would clean up if they would just do what I say (😆) and release a OC2W (Waza) and expose that sub-only function via a double-tap or EXT footwitch out. Si
