Ah, good to know, I spent ages trying to research that and find threaded inserts for the mute screws to go in to. If you ever find some that fit, I’d love to know, I’d fit them. And if you like what I’ve done..well…you can probably do it cheaply yourself if you wait for stuff to come up secondhand…there are no shortage of secondhand Ray4s out there… -

Sold Ian my Zoom B3. Extremely straightforward transaction, quick messaging and quick payment. What more do you want? Thanks and enjoy the pedal mate. Pete

Just dropped in to say thanks to all on this thread. I’ve worked my way through the whole thread and the manual and a bunch of videos, and between them, I feel like I finally have a grip on what the Stomp can do. Thanks to everyone who chipped in over the years, I have used your links and presets and IRs, if only to experiment and understand. Still have to experiment a lot more. But for my current main purpose, recording, I have figured out at least 4 ways to get an output into my interface and another simultaneous one to my amp, plus reamping through the USB input should I wish to. This thing is crazy powerful! I feel lucky I picked up one cheapish secondhand.

Hi all Bought a Stomp, so selling my previous multi-fx. Little blurb is needed. Great piece of kit, mine was mostly used at home for recording. Fully working, ships with the PSU shown. I wish I had dusted it more before I took the photo, lol. £100 shipped in the UK and it's yours. Pete

Open to offers.

Thanks, I'll head over there now!

Just nabbed a secondhand Stomp here on Basschat, so I guess I've joined that particular camp. I've seen about the Dr Tone FB group/website and the work he does on presets. @AlphaK I think you have a Stomp as well? Any recommendations for presets or general usage? Pete

Meant to say, foot switch and bag included in sale price.

Good evening Basschat Picked up this lovely little amp from Paddybass to have for the power and the built in effects, but just got lucky and bought an HX Stomp, so this has to go to fund it. I’ve linked to Paddy’s original thread and pics for ease; it’s not been out of the house yet since I bought it and remains in excellent working condition. The app for loading is pretty sweet and the FX are quality. I’m looking for £310 £250 plus shipping. Bargainous for this much power and flexibility!

The tone of the Reverse P: when is it a Good Thing? when is it not?
funkle replied to a topic in Bass Guitars
Great question. Overall, you can definitely tell the rear pickup is not a Jazz pickup when both P pickups are blended 50:50. The mid cut is in a very different place to a JJ setup. However, compared to a PJ setup, it is not a million miles away sonically, you can tell it’s different but in a mix no-one would hear it, I don’t think. Soloed rear P pickup - definitely different to a Jazz, I guess best way to put it is an ‘angry Jazz’, lol. You can roll the tone off and do Jaco. It’s thicker than a bridge Jazz pickup sound. IMO on the whole a Jazz pickup or other humbucker there is probably much easier to install and make it work well, though, and you can buy basses like that easily. I found the DG coil near the bridge too clavinet-y after a while, so flipped the pickup orientation, which made the issue much better. However, in some ways, I simply transferred the problem to the EA strings, which tolerate the issue better, but still imperfect. IMO bridge P pickups should be, for whichever coil is the rear one, no closer to the bridge than a 70’s Jazz bass spacing. I think it sounds better reversed as well, with DG closer to neck and EA closer to bridge. -

Yes, I referenced that thread extensively when making my dual P. Great thread. I still managed to make the rear pickup too close to the bridge though, lol! -

Very cool. Very expensive too!!! -
Wow, a retro dual P. Have a free bump! -
Just sold a Fender neck to Paul, painless transaction with easy communications. You can be confident dealing with Paul! Pete
-
The roasted maple Fender necks are really nice. I have one on a project bass and it feels and sounds fabulous. Nice job!

Good response back from John. The J Tone does no active buffering of pickups, but the J Retro and Uni-Pre do (in active mode). Guess I'll maybe have to think about a version of the Uni Pre.
-
Yes, I think I will. Funnily enough a J Tone would probably be perfect for this bass - simple, passive roll off, bass/treble boost if needed, and full passive if needed. If it actively buffered the pickups in active mode, it would be ideal.

A little note of interest. I noticed that the Seymour Duncan SBP1 at the front position sounded a little less bright than once I had the SBP3 in the rear position installed. This seemed to be the case even if I turned the SBP3 all the way down. I have alluded before to how pickups load each other in a passive circuit, but decided to test my ears again. I removed the SBP3 out of the circuit by unscrewing its wires out of the solderless circuit, and lo and behold, my high end improved to what I remembered the stock SBP1 sounding like. Same in reverse when I unscrewed the SBP1 for the SBP3. Clearly the pickups still 'see' each other in the circuit even when turned fully down. I knew this already, but it was useful to hear what it sounded like. John East did a great post on this many years ago - https://www.talkbass.com/threads/isolated-buffered-pickup-blending.82099/#post-935299 I think this effect accounts for some of what people call 'the passive sound', as I'm used to hearing it in e.g. passive Jazz basses. So....I am contemplating another change. I think I might try out a John East preamp with active pickup buffering, at least at some point. The Uni Pre does this, as does the J Retro. Not sure if the J Tone does as well, though it might. (Can't tell from the literature...)

Sold. -
Deal pending. I’ll mark it off as sold once I have payment received, but on hold.

@Ricky Rioli It looks expensive! Lol. You could get 4 out of 5 of those coils by using a modded Nordstrand MM4.4 or a newer Sims Super Quad pickup...or some of the Bartolini MM quad coil pickups too now that I think on it... The Super Quads look really interesting but are so outrageously expensive even I have never ventured near them. Lol
