If postage ever becomes an option please DM me @Lozz196 and let me know, this would have sold within a week if it had been I think -
I had one of these for a while - fantastic DI box, run a stomp into it into IEM’s and you could ask for a better sound 👌🏼 -

No you can only order direct from sushibox

I’ve got a 3 over 2 Lakland 35” - would these go on do you think or are they going to be too short? -
This is probably my dream bass - absolutely love them. I played a 5st P version (rather than pj) at bassbros and honestly it was the best bass I’ve ever played, and it wasn’t even close! Bit rich for my blood right now, but I can dream - I could maybe cancel Xmas this year tho? 🤔

I’ve seen some lovely Pau Ferro boards - like the one on the ACG build on the first page of the thread, on some of the MIM Fenders (among others) it can look & feel a bit dry, I got some of the Montypresso relic wax which darkens the wood as well as conditioning it and it came up lovely for me, if you don’t want to darken it then just get the normal one. As for how it plays, I thought it was a bit snappier than rosewood if pushed for a difference but nowhere near the difference between something like maple and rosewood (and even then the differences are overstated a bit IMHO)

Ibanez UB805 Brand New Bargain REDUCED - *SOLD*
Paddy777 replied to vmaxblues's topic in EUBs & Double Basses For Sale
I’ve been humming and haa’ing about getting an EUB recently - for the price this is extremely tempting! It would be next month before I could get it tho, obviously if it goes in the meantime then not much I can do, but I’m seriously interested in this! -
Just depends what you’re doing with it. If I’m doing a dep gig and there’s stuff like Thriller/Another Part of Me by Michael Jackson or I just can’t get enough by Depeche Mode (these are examples that I’ve used this pedal for in the last month) but you’re just hired as a bass dep, then nobody will expect (or want!) you to turn up with a key synth unless specifically asked for, but it’ll almost certainly be better received if you can play the bass part sounding more authentic with this. If you’re in your own band and have the time and willingness to do all that then I don’t think anyone would argue that an actual bass synth like a Novation or something would sound better, but where its not practical or where you need to just play bass I think this is excellent, but you have to ask if it’s really necessary to carry/setup more equipment when you could get 80-90% of the way there with a pedal, and just use your bass. For me if I turned up at a Dep gig (or even a regular gig) with a keys synth to play a few synthy parts I imagine I’d just be told not to bother, and told nicely to stick to bass 😁

Oof I’ve always fancied one of these since I watched the video ‘The Wetter Bass’ did on it (I’ll link it below👇) the sort of secret sauce pedal I love to have a mess about with 😁 I am absolutely potless atm, but if this is still about when I’ve got more cash again you’ll be hearing from me! -
Just done a bass + cash deal with Dave for his Dingwall - great guy to deal with, and super understanding when there was a delivery issue (DPD’s fault!). Would be happy to deal with him again anytime and recommend him highly to any other bass chatter looking at doing a deal with him - he’s a top man who can be trusted 100%

So is it basically just a PBass Reggie? -
Sorry - even owners of the full fat TONEX have to buy the bass pack separately for €99.99 if they want it. I wasn’t implying that owners of the Tonex have to buy the bass pack or their unit self destructs. Crikey 🥸🙃

Even owners of the full fat TONEX have to buy the bass pack separately for €99.99 - it’s not a free update for anyone I don’t think
-
Exactly. With regards the Tonex, I’ve said for ages I rate it highly - I sold mine and tbh regretted it. I’m likely going to buy the small Tonex One pedal with this bass pack pre loaded on it — £179 in Andertons and you can use some pretty cheap midi pedals to get more functionality from it that you do the big Tonex (like so) 👇 I’ve got the Stomp which has acceptable amp/cab sims, I’ve got a great analogue preamp which I only really bought so I could run it into my amps fx loop on gigs with backline but use for everything currently, however the Tonex amps are streets ahead of either really if you’re going direct or recording (Just IMO ofc)
-
The reverse P sounds so much better in a PJ setup too - plus it’s Nordstrand pups! I struggle with the string spacing on these, which is a shame cos they’re blinding basses especially for the money! It’s still possibly tempting tho Just a question - in passive mode is there a tone control (like traditional passive tone control on a fender etc) I know some Ibanez’s the treble works as the tone in passive. -
IMO the Sire P5 is a better quality bass, it’s less versatile as it just has the one pickup and you’ll not go far wrong with either, but a second hand BB434 is what I’d be looking for if you want a Yamaha, the Sire P5 is really good tho - the Sire P5R is outstanding
-
I’m back in the club again - got this BBP35 with Nordstrand pups last week, plays beautifully and has a great PBass sound on the front pup. I can see what all the fuss is about with these now I’ve got it in my hands, an amazingly comfy neck and the quality is ridiculously good all the way through. My main bass is still an active J but this is a fantastic alternative when the P Bass is needed, gonna stick some TI flats on it once I’ve got a spare £80 😖

Now £105 shipped!! -
EBS Microbass II - 2 channel preamp, which can be used for 2 basses/instruments (can be used for upright as well) or having two different settings on the same bass Loads of tone chalking capabilities including drive, tube sim, speaker sim, enhance filter (very useful and effects the frequencies of the mids in a really useful way) as well as normal bass/treble & parametric mids. Also has an FX loop Fully working in excellent condition, selling as no longer needed Well priced for quick sale Price Drop: £105 inc UK shipping
-
That’s the one! 😁 It’s nice, I’ve played the legit one and obviously the snide version and there’s basically no difference to my ear, thing is all it is, is a 4 band EQ with a slight low &,hi boost option that can be operated by footswitch - that’s IT?! Yeh it definitely sounds nice enough but every preamp has its own “special sauce” - ToneHammer has the AGS,’ VT Bass is the Charcter knob, some impart a very particular sound etc. This just has the EQ and that’s it - it’s super transparent and so I guess you get the sound of your instrument and can make some tweaks with what is a very musical Eq but for £300+ it does really do much. This Chinese copy is absolutely fantastic tho - for £50 I was very impressed, if You liked your AG but returned it cos of the price you’ll not be dissapointed with the Clone IMO
-
I ordered this just for a bit of fun when I spotted it on Ali Express last month when I was buying a load of other bits This is a clone of the Aguilar AG Preamp - it looks identical except there is no “Aguilar” logo on it in the centre It has a 4B EQ - Bass (40hz), Low Mid (300hz), Hi Mid (800hz) & Treble (4khz) as well as footnswitchable “Bright” and “Deep” switch which can be used separately and together. Use 9 or 18v power - normal pedalboard power works fine, top jacks and DI at side with pre/post eq button - everything is identical to the Aguilar version I have had the Aguilar AG and I liked it - super clean with great EQ/Q frequencies that it’s very difficult to get a bad sound out of, and this clone sounds identical. It’s a sturdy metal enclosure and honestly if it had an Aguilar logo on I would 100% believe it was the real thing. I probably should keep it as it’ll definitely come in useful, but I’ve managed to spunk an absolute fortune this month on basses & pedals and Now the bills are due l am doing my usual trick of selling things for half the price I paid 🤣 I’d very happily keep it but it’s not on my board right now so I have to list it. It’s a really clean preamp that sounds great flat, but the EQ points are sooo good - you really can dial in any tone you want with it Absolute bargain - £35 inc shipping! -
Demon FX Sim Amp Bass Station - Preamp/Cab Sim/DI. Bought from Ali Express last month just because I was ordering other things and wanted to try it out! Paid £58 for it It’s a clone of the DSM Humboldt Bass Station. It had 3 band preamp is based on an Ampeg SVT, can be clean or crank the gain for SVT/tube OD, there is also a parallel ‘clean’ path which gives you a really fat low end (which can be enhanced with the LPF @ 500 or 100hz and blend in as much or little as you want) - I didn’t really get this until I played with it, but it works fantastically well to give you fat clean low end underneath the effected signal. There are two fx loops - one for the preamp side and one for the clean side, so you can run OD pedals on the preamp side and then blend in clean signal from the parallel path into it and so it makes any effect pedal you couldn’t use due to losing low end useable again!. There is also an effect loop on the parallel path - there’s loads of yt videos of the DSM version showing how thes fx loops can be used creatively/best Lastly there is the Cab Sim which is outstanding, offering 3 different cabs (115/410/810) and controls for resonance, mic position and wet/dry blend with the preamp/parallel side. It also has two DI’s - one for the effected signal and one that is the clean parallel path only. ALSO - this can be used just as a cab sim by plugging your preamp out into the FX loop return on the preamp fx loop, and honestly the cab sim is really very good. Quality is good - sound and build, and if you look on Google etc there’s a fair amount of feedback from people comparing it to the original DSM version positively Paid £58 for it last month and I’ve played with it for a few hours at home, but that’s all. Happy to give someone a bargain here - it’s a decent little unit, plenty of stuff to play about with and it’s sounds spot on - also you don’t have to wait 3 weeks for it to turn up from China 😁 Absolute bargain - £25 shipped!
