    [b]Digitech Whammy WH-1 (original)[/b] Most people will know what this does. The original and best sounding whammy! Works great on bass, with a very warm sound and IVL Technology that no-one (including Digitech/Harman) has been able to reproduce... Very well looked after, in great cosmetic condition. Velcro on base, which can be removed by request. Fully functioning, and will come with replacement 9V AC adaptor. Also, if you're a g**tarist after that Gilmour or Morello sound, nothing will get you closer! [b]£175 including shipping[/b] [url="http://s66.photobucket.com/user/albakio/media/20140904_091323.jpg.html"][/url] [s][b]True Bypass Looper[/b] I bought this off andydye last year, and it I have literally never used it! Passive operation, a very simple fx loop, power is only required for the led.[/s] [b]SOLD[/b] [s][b]Neunaber Wet Mono Reverb[/b] Incredible Reverb pedal! Only selling as I'm changing to the Stereo version for the studio. Has only seen indoor use, so it's still minty with box, etc. Great demo on bass [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pe-AJ0skFqY"]here[/url] (watch from 2:07 onwards for the really good stuff )[/s] [b]SOLD[/b] [s][b]Idiotbox Blower Box[/b] Fantastic Rat clone (and Fuzzrocious Rat Tail killer!), see what people are saying about it over on Talkbass [url="http://www.talkbass....er-box.1069509/"]here[/url]. This has never left the house, only very light use, and comes complete with box, sticker, etc.[/s] [b]SOLD [/b]

    I'm pretty sure the Markbass Super Synth can do a DX7-esque sound. The Akai Deep Impact is about the best for this I reckon, if you can find one second hand, but they're expensive!

    The latest...Have to say that the stacked COG TK-421/Blower Box combo is the BEST distorted sound I've ever had! [url="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h241/albakio/20140706_172042.jpg"][URL=http://s66.photobucket.com/user/albakio/media/20140706_172042.jpg.html][IMG]http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h241/albakio/20140706_172042.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/url]

    Unless it's a COG TK-421, Idiotbox Blower Box or Fuzzrocious Rat Tail, forget about it. Why have a RAT and a blender/LS-2 when you can have everything you need in one pedal, with no low-end loss, for less money!?...

    Pmd!

    This sounds beeeeeeeautiful! Exactly how a classic Jazz should sound, and perfect in a soul funk setting too. Growley! :-)

    [quote name='lou24d53' timestamp='1403869286' post='2487256'] And 14 pages later........ [/quote] I say lock the thread!...I was very harsh earlier and I regret it and apologise :-s There are clearly fundamental differences in opinion on the matter though, and it's likely to go round in circles. I don't think either "side" in this debate will ever really empathise with the other or come round to their point of view! ...

    I'm not completely sure how different it would be with the buyer applying a F****r decal, rather than the builder. Considering the majority of Mark's orders are custom builds anyway and not advertised on the site, they would surely be under the radar?... [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1403862798' post='2487164'] And I think somebody kicked off a controversial subject, with their own agenda. [/quote] Definitely this. Especially annoying when somebody pretends they had the interests of the builder in mind all along, when in reality they've been stirring s**t for no conceivable reason.

    [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1403690046' post='2485247'] What point am I missing exactly? Please clarify. [/quote] I would say the main point, by focusing on that detail. It's about the quality and sound of the instrument. Mark's blatantly not trying to make standard or cheap copies of old Fenders, just quality, hand-made instruments that allow people to have the sound and feel of a vintage bass, without risking losing something with value equivalent to a small house every time they take it to a gig!...The fact that the Fender decal is on the head stock is neither here nor there, and to the vast majority of people it won't mean a thing. It definitely contributes to the look but it's the sound of these things that matters, and that's one of the main reasons why people here are buying them! And sorry everyone else, I'm leaving it there! Discreet and WoT, your basses are beautiful, and I am incredibly envious!

    [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1403680499' post='2485123'] Apart from the Fender decal on the headstock! [/quote] You're missing the point. [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1403680499' post='2485123'] Don't get me wrong - I'm not particularly bothered [/quote] Why bring it up then?
  11. bakerster135
    [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1403605177' post='2484301'] I'm confused... (it doesn't take much, I realise!). Is that a Fender, relicked by Limelight or a Limelight J bass with a snidey Fender decal? If it is the latter, isn't that a tiny bit naughty? [/quote] It's the latter, but definitely not "Snidey". He's not trying to make anyone believe that it's actually a Fender bass.

    Just to update on this, had a great experience at The Bass Gallery this week. Took my Jazz in for a setup, and my Stingray for an electronics fix. The guys (Martin and John) couldn't have been more helpful! They did a fantastic job on both, for a great price, and we had a long chat about all things bass! Amazingly, despite having lived in London for six years now (and in Camden borough for one and a half) I had never heard much about, nor was particularly aware of the existence of The Bass Gallery! Will go there all the time now though, and all the beautiful basses! Good lord...Like a kid in a sweetshop!

    [quote name='bakerster135' timestamp='1403521072' post='2483433'] If such a thing can play any part in [b]cutting down[/b] (especially illegal) rosewood logging, then it's fine by me! [/quote] In the context of the sentence, definitely no (terrible) pun intended here!
  14. bakerster135
    I think this looks great, and like that it's available in other colours. I wonder how it feels, and more importantly whether and how it contributes to tone?... If such a thing can play any part in cutting down (especially illegal) rosewood logging, then it's fine by me!
  15. bakerster135
    Could it just be that tortoiseshell doesn't go with anything!?... :hides Seriously though, give me white parchment or black over tortie any day!
  16. bakerster135
    P.s. You can probably partially blame Justin Chancellor of Tool (and his legion of gear-copying fans) for knocking up the prices on these!

    [quote name='visog' timestamp='1403289678' post='2481602'] Exactly... you're paying for the name, the trendy make. Don't get me wrong, they're great basses and have that swoopy tone thing happening but at the end of the day, you're still faced with dishing out Em on the plank just get something that works and hit the 'shed... [/quote] Not sure I 100% agree with you there visog, having played a few MK2s I must say that they are really noticeably high quality. You can feel the quality and resonance of the wood, and the tone acoustically. The eq is also ridiculously versatile (I'd describe as slightly more than a "swoopy tone thing happening" myself tbh! ). Personally reckon they're a lot nicer looking, better sounding and more versatile than any Fodera I've played, and those go for this kind of price!... Regardless of all this though, I wouldn't pay £3600 for it, it is a bit too expensive for a second hand bass. Knock about £1k off it though, and the bass would already be at my house!

    If you think that's pricey, you should see Pino Palladino's old midi Wal at the Gallery!... http://www.thebassgallery.com/BassProductListingTemplate.cfm?Brand=Pino%20Palladino&type=Bass%20Guitar&Cat_ID=1

    [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1403180447' post='2480525'] Ah I didn;t realise you'd already asked him about it.... Thinking about it, as he buys the necks in I doubt anyone is making dot and bound necks? [/quote] He may have a problem getting the "lollipop" tuners too, to complete the look. They seem pretty rare...

    [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1403044446' post='2479297'] I have to bring attention to [url="http://youtu.be/6np-PCYITrw?t=4m10s"]the slide around 4m12s[/url]. And that's with flats on it. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6np-PCYITrw[/media] [/quote] That is a very sexy slide, like a growling panther I am definitely going for one of Mark's creations!...
  21. bakerster135
    An EHX Micro POG would do this perfectly. If you're on a budget maybe a Mooer Pitch Box?

    [quote name='AttitudeCastle' timestamp='1402702089' post='2476249'] At the time of that live video that was Dingwall Combustion 5 into B7K for all tone shaping into an Axe FX II with a tube DI model and some EQ, he switched to using the B7K as just a preamp after that tour and when they went back to using real cabs. The tone on that video is the DI feed from his rig with a small blend of the Go Pro mic. [/quote] You've probably seen it, but this gives a very good indication of how Nolly gets his tone. Not sure if he was using the Cali76 at the time of that live video, but it makes a big difference to my ears. http://youtu.be/lMxbP1V3WBo
