SOLD Source Audio Soundblox 2 Manta Bass Filter. Highly versatile and well regarded filter. Capable of a wide variety of filter effects. Wet and funky, out-there synthy, or dirty and distorted, it does the lot. It has two separate footswitches to which you can save and assign completely different settings, basically giving you two pedals in one. Highly functional and tweakable, it’s also controllable with a Hot Hand or expression pedal, so loads of creative scope. There are many excellent reviews online, and a ton of forum chat about it, if you want to read about what this thing does and how far it goes. Here’s the corporate blurb ... https://www.sourceaudio.net/sb2-manta-bass-filter.html# And a YouTube demo ... Condition is excellent. No issues whatsoever. Velcro on underside.

Now with shipping option. I’ve got a suitable box, so happy to package it well and get it ready for collection, if the buyer arranges and pays for the courier.

MODIFIED BSY600 Bass Synth The guts of this is a Behringer BSY600, a clone of the Boss SYB-5 Bass Synth. However, these are commonly regarded as the superior pedal. They get more love as they track better, and unlike the Boss there is the ability to cut off the filter sweep, offering a rake of more useable sounds. These have a more finger-friendly control layout too (no tiny awkward stacked knobs). There are many useable sounds on this. Easily tweakable, and it especially comes to life when used with an expression pedal (thoroughly recommended). Good thick synth tones. Clean blend too, no loss of low end whatsoever. The thing that let these pedals down was the notoriously awful foot switch, and the toy-like plastic housing of the unmodified originals, both of which are prone to failure. Hence these modifications... I rehoused it in a cast aluminium MXR-type casing, and fitted a soft-click switch that retains the pedal’s ‘hold’ function. It’s a better pedal than its Boss counterpart, and this modded one has a smaller footprint too. If you want to know more about these, there’s plenty of info online. Loads of discussion about them on Talkbass (including the ‘rehousing’ thread which inspired my modifications). It should also be mentioned that the BSY600 is now discontinued. The price is going up and they’re becoming increasingly sought after as folk learn about them.

Aye Steve. Messaged you

Sold Aria Pro II SB1000, made in 1981 at Matsumoku, Japan. The SB1000 is a true classic with a place in bass history. It was Aria’s flagship bass, top-of-the-line during the famed Matsumoku era, being played by a number of notable players, including Jack Bruce, John Taylor, Cliff Burton, and many others. It’s very versatile for a single-pickup bass. The 6-position ‘varitone’ selector switch (essentially a stepped low pass filter) provides a fast way to access a rake of highly varied and useable tones on the fly. It allows effortless switching from the fat and dubby, through some great modern slap tones, getting honky or punchy for the fingerstyle funk, or bright and open, just by a click of the varitone. It also has a wide tone control, volume control, and battery status LED. Not least, a passive switch so you can bypass the preamp completely for a more classic tone. What these basses are best known for is their strong presence that sits so very well in the mix, punchy and solid, with a good thick low-mid-rich bottom end, massive sustain, and crystal clear harmonics. Loads of growl on tap. The dynamic range is really impressive. The body is made from Canadian ash, the neck is maple/ walnut, and the fretboard is rosewood with 24 frets. Brass bridge and nut. Aria-branded Gotoh tuners. MB1-E pickup. I’ll include a hardcase in the sale. The bass is all original, and in perfect working order. Structurally solid, and in lovely cosmetic condition. There are a few minor surface marks, and the patina of life that one should expect with a vintage instrument, but it’s in fantastic shape for its 38 years. It has been well looked after and is a thing of beauty. There are no dead spots anywhere, the frets show very little wear, the neck is straight, and the truss rod does what it should. No issues whatsoever. It’s set up very nicely, and is good to go. The bass is in Pittenweem, Fife. I’m happy to meet within reasonable distance. I’m also willing to courier at the buyers expense. I’ve posted several basses in the past without issue, and I know the importance of bomb-proof packaging.

Squier Vintage Modified Fretless Jazz Bass. As this forum knows, these are well regarded basses, and are fantastic for their price bracket. Especially these older ones with the DD pickups, and alder bodies (as opposed to agathis). Made in 2008 (Cort Factory). Duncan Designed JB101 pickups, high-mass bridge (Wilkinson, I think), graphite nut, Rotosound SH77 flatwounds. The bass is in mint condition. The chrome plating on the control cover is slightly blemished, but I’ll include a brand-new replacement, as well as the original nut.
