[quote name='JTUK' post='1358507' date='Sep 1 2011, 10:12 AM']Buy another one... one is ok-ish...two are in a different league, IME[/quote] I agree - Was recording over the w/e and the guys wanted to mic one cab - told them to take the mic' back a little rigged up both cabs and told them to mic somewhere in the middle. The sound was much better. These definitely work better as a pair. Kinda like boobs in that respect - one is grand and all but two! Boom!

Never seen one of these before. Looks like a more balanced alternative to that TB sound!

You interested in any trade options? I could probably use an extra fist an octave down!

Only two nightshifts left bump

Bump for added fuzz pic Demeter is a very well made quality pedal. Just been used for some recording on guitar (and with the boost engaged for some bass parts) Not using the drive with bass and for boosting I just got a W&C PPB which takes up less room on my pedal board. Willing to listen to trade offers or p/x plus cash my way- Ideally I dont want to be adding cash to any deal.

Yam hand sold....... Interest in the fuzz and for the guys requesting pic's & video I'm on night shift until next week. Won't realistically be able to get and sound samples until then but I'll update this post when I do. Or you could take a punt if you think a monstrous facebleed fuzz would suit your needs

Bushy Bison sold.... The other are still up for grabs - avideo demo of the Yam Hand is on youtube - search for fulltone bass drive ernie earplugs and you should find my video - quality is reasonable but the playing "Oi Vey!"

I would have that ElectroniX off ya but I too shall be the proud owner of a w&c PPB in a day or two. ElectroniX make great gear bump

OK some stuff for sale Basically got these pedals for some recording with the band for different tones and textures for bass and guitar. Don't really do a lot of pedal hopping live so have my basic two pedal set up sorted and wont be needing such a huge array of options live. Demeter FOD: distortion and midboost pedal. Got this recently more for recording than anything else. The mid/phat switch is a great feature- kinda an 'always on' type boost can be sutble or OTT but adds nice presence to your sound. Drive is very valve like but doesn't do crazy. Both drive and boost together can really give a huge sound but not menatl fuzz/filth. Also has a two way mode switch - £102 posted UK Fuzz- modded DODGrunge pedal. This is a much more aggressive pedal than the FOD. It starts out mad and stays angry! The Grunge was always know for its huge amount of low end output and works well with bass. Stripped back finish on the casing with custom pink LED. £47 posted UK Ernie earplugs yam hand feedback regenerator: SOLD Bushy Bison: SOLD Pic's available from next week as the band are experimenting with varying combinations of these and other pedals and I don't have them to hand. Cheers!

Big Al's are one of the best basses out there - I'd put the feelers out on mine a few weeks ago but only cause a USA dark star p/u bass became available but really I don't wanna shift the BA. The neck is too nice plus it really does get every sound you could want. I'm recording just now and I have tones for every possible part I need. In one song alone I have experimented with a Big old school neck pick up tone for intro and verse. It's not so much mudbucker as full bucker. Got the definition but that big warm neck pick up sound. For the chorus I switch it to p bass just to poke up in the mix a little and the same for the break section. In the odd meter proggy bit it's classic p bass and for the little lead sounding bass part I go for MM modern punch. Its not as much of a mess as I make it sound but fun experiment. Once it's all mixed down I'll try and get a clip up This is one of those basses everyone should play at some point. Totally fab! Good luck

MM20 How's the neck on the 5 string? Is it still quite petit or more classic mm5 string size?

Just back after jammin' with a covers band and I got every sound I needed. Upfront humbucker tone, classic P bass, even bust out a bit of slap with all pick up buttons in the down position for some Big Luth/Marcus Miller on Never Too Much. Smokin' hot! Get in touch for more info or any questions needing answered.

More pictures as requested including the neck pocket and the lovely curved heel at the base of the neck. Bass can be demo'd if your local or able to get to Edinburgh. You may struggle finding one in local guitar shops - very few in the country. The neck profile is like a Sterling though so if you can get your hands on one of those you'll have an idea of how it plays.

Post surprise shindig bump. More pic's going up later - I'd post a you tube link but the Ed Friedland video does a better job than I ever will. Apologies to you guys who have been eagerly waiting on the pictures - it's been a busy weekend! G

Noted but I was hoping the innate sense of curiosity in most of the guys and gals on the forum would lead people in I'll update all details when the pictures are up.

I can honestly say this bass is amazing. From the neck profile and finish which is to die for (especially if you like a jazz style neck) to the sheer quality of the build. The pick ups are silent and the eq is more flexible than an Olympic gym team! As for the styling that's an individual thing but this bass is very comfortable to wear on the shoulder - they basically cut around a standard bass so the position on the shoulder is not affected by the shape of the Big Al - at its core it's just like wearing any other well balanced bass. It's actually better balanced than a lot of basses out there with no neck dive. Tonally this has one of the best P bass tones I've played (especially for a rock band with round wound strings) and the passive tone knob woks beautifully and just like you'd expect, it's a slap machine and you can get a huge jazz bass bridge p/u tone especiallyin active mode with just a smidge of eq tweaking. With flat wound strings the BA in the neck p/u sounds delicious (and once you add the middle p bass pick up it gets BIG) - great for playing acoustic gigs (with the bass amp'd/di'd of course) providing a deep rich tone, very supportive and for the classic rock tones that made us all lust after an EB-0 at some point and play Sunshine of Your Love endlessly . The with all buttons either up or down its a classic MM style sound - not identical, it was never meant to be, but sonically, unmistakably coming from the EBMM stable Say what you will about 'Big Poppa' but EBMM continues to push the boundaries of bass manufacture in terms of design and features. Thank Christ some one is...no wait thats unfair Fender just released that 70's block neck P bass (that they never released in 1970 and the jazz pick up'd p bass and p p/u'd jazz bass??? I'll get pic's tomorrow promise but it looks just like the one in the links posted in the original post and in Turk's. Both the links posted give a really good insight into what this bass is capable of but I'm hunting down a Darkstar'd bass in an exotic, distant land! Thanks
