    Very good. Shame about the cat that wandered into the recording room at the 29 second mark but at least he's in time

    [quote name='peted' post='986953' date='Oct 13 2010, 12:58 PM']Though I do attribute my ability to pick up a cheap X3 Live on ebay to the announcement of these new pedals to Line 6 - Thanks!!![/quote] You tried out the M9/13? I was wondering how they compared.

    Sansamp Bddi - 2 (if the deluxe counts) Boxx chorus ensemble - 1 Way huge swollen pickle - 1 Digitech Whammy - 1 Guyatone MD-3 delay - 1 Boss TU2 - 1 I've only done pedals from my bass board, the guitar board has lots more. Surely the Boss DD-3 or TU-2 are sure-fire winners!

    [quote name='Beedster' post='1013338' date='Nov 5 2010, 02:13 PM']I had the misfortune of rehearsing through a Behringer a couple of weeks back. I was shocked at just how bad it was, and no amount of EQing made the slightest difference. Truly bad C[/quote] I used their bass cabs a few years ago, the ones with aluminium cones. The cones came away from the surrounds after very modest use and continued to disintegrate very quickly until one went bang and took my Warwick head with it. Wouldn't ever touch their stuff again.

    [quote name='Twigman' post='1009855' date='Nov 2 2010, 05:59 PM']I was wondering about that.......I get the impression the seller knows nothing about what he's trying to sell![/quote] I thought you could still get buzz on a fretless, I presumed this was what he meant.

    Visual Sound Double Trouble or Jekyll and Hyde?

    Right, I'm definitley selling this, the jack has been given a good blast of contact cleaner and I'll test it tonight to make sure the crackle has gone. A few signs of wear and tear, the worst of which you can see in the last picture. It will also be given a good clean before handing it over. Pics:- [attachment=62985:IMGP0211.JPG] [attachment=62986:IMGP0212.JPG] [attachment=62987:IMGP0213.JPG] [attachment=62988:IMGP0214.JPG] [attachment=62989:IMGP0216.JPG] It's a very clean sounding bass, not a lot of growl but very refined, it had a compliment on the nice sound when we recorded so bonus. £200 OBO, I can deliver, you can collect or I can meet you halfway for a few quid towards petrol (not if you collect obviously). Please check first, I'm fairly central UK but I hate driving.

    Now with pictures! The Mad Dog is in really good nick, only a couple of very slight scratches. The Marshall is a little dusty and has a couple of marks on and the Digitech has some paintwork scratches which you can see in the picture. [attachment=62981:IMGP0203.JPG] [attachment=62982:IMGP0205.JPG] [attachment=62984:IMGP0207.JPG] Again, open to trades or offers.

  12. GarethFlatlands
    I'll also consider trades. Nothing particular in mind.

    [quote name='andy67' post='1005953' date='Oct 30 2010, 12:04 AM']Oh the Corsa challenge seems to good not to try!! I'll try it in the Yaris.[/quote] I've seen one go into a Corsa, required the front passenger seat to be tilted forwards so the cab could rest on top of it. Amazing sounding cabs but taller and heavier than I am so it's a no for me!

    I'm having a bit of a clearout at the moment of some pedals that I'm not using. They've all been on my pedalboard at some point so aren't in perfect condition. Photos will follow once I've got the pedals from the pracice room. All prices include postage. Toadworks Mad Dog Fuzz - no box Simple 2 knob original design fuzz. Youtube vid [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jb7dlY_xCds"]here.[/url] Takes battery or standard 9v adaptor, instructions are on the inside of the backplate and a pain to get to, but if you need instructions for a 2 knob fuzz, you're in the wrong place! RRP about £70-80, sell for £40. Marshall ED-1 compressor - boxed w. instructions 4 knob compressor. Mainly for guitar, Not tried it on bass, any opinions or comments from people who have welcome. RRP £40-50, sell for £25. Digitech X-Series Digital Reverb - boxed w. instructions Video demo [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knfYPBzyaVI"]here.[/url] Decent and versatile pedal, but I'm upgrading to the Hardwire version so I'm selling this on. RRP around £70-80, sell for £40. Paypal is fine, if you want them, grab them quick as I'm off work this week so I won't have to wait in a stupidly long post office queue!

    [quote name='mcnach' post='1006219' date='Oct 30 2010, 12:32 PM']I find the Big Al extremely ugly... but I hear good things about them. And... there was a day when I thought the Stingray was hideous [/quote] You'll be saying the Bongo is a beautiful bass next.....

    [quote name='guyl' post='1006248' date='Oct 30 2010, 01:13 PM']I bought a new Streamer around that time and it didn't come with a gig bag or case. On a slightly unrelated - I also have owned 2 Warwick Rockbags. Straps have come off on both after a while. They were nice and cheap and seemed good value, but the sound of your bass hitting the pavement as it "breaks" away from your shoulder is pretty sickening. I won't be buying another![/quote] I've had mine since 2003 and it's not failed me yet! Cost me £35 which I didn't think was particularly cheap.

    Shielding protects the electronics from picking up radio noise. Maplin do adhesive foil tape for your scratch plate, though it could take a while. Your pickups shouldn't need touching.

    [quote name='markstuk' post='1002710' date='Oct 27 2010, 05:06 PM']Is the T-Rex Squeezer a very large pedal then? :-)[/quote] Yeah, they only stock Catalinbread, EHX Nano and Guyatone stuff. Anything larger and the city will slide into the river Dee.

    [quote name='Michaelg' post='1001850' date='Oct 26 2010, 10:40 PM']even chester![/quote] Chester being the Mecca of pedals obviously! Both guitar shops I can think of there have very little pedals in stock.

    Thirded, get a reasonable multi-fx, see which effects you like and consider getting separates after that if you want. Then spend years trying and selling on all the ones you loved, then fell out with!
  22. GarethFlatlands
    Cheers, will do. I reckon I might need some help on component changes for switching NPN and PNP circuits, adding a blend control and improving bass response. Got 4 boxes coming, 2 * 1 knob, 2 * 2 knob and a 5 knob. I reckon a couple of fuzz faces, (1 AC127 germ and one BC108 Si), a couple of one knob fuzzes (ie colorsounds) and either a fuzz factory or a wooly mammoth clone, although I'm open to suggestions. Edit:- here's a list of the transistors I've got so far to play with. 8 * BD139 (possibly useless for fuzz) 4 * gain selected (2 pairs) AC127 20 * BC108 6 * BC109B (might use a couple of these for modding my Crybaby) 2 * gain selected 2N404 6 * AC176

    I'm building a few pedals next week, I'll try and put a step by step build diary up if it helps anyone thinking of trying a DIY build for the first time. As for soldering, buy some stripboard, wire, solder and a cheap iron and practice. There's plenty of guides online and it's a useful skill to have.

    [quote name='LukeFRC' post='999214' date='Oct 24 2010, 07:48 PM']or this might be fun to make too [url="http://i19.tinypic.com/4zde9ly.gif"]http://i19.tinypic.com/4zde9ly.gif[/url][/quote] Got a load of boxes coming from Umphs bandmate soon, might have to bagsy one of the 4 control ones for one of those bad boys!
  25. GarethFlatlands
    Looks fairly solid if unspectacular, I'd be worried about the socketed transistors coming loose instead of being soldered in but that's my only worry really. Not enough of an expert to comment on the quality of components or the value. If you're paying top dollar for it, I'd expect it to be better build quality, like DAM pedals. [url="http://stompboxes.co.uk/fuzzsound.html"]Like so (2nd to bottom pic)[/url] If it's reasonably priced, go for it.
