Yeh of course, I bought this but then shortly after got the chance to buy back my old Lakland 55/60 which I couldn’t pass up as it was the one bass I have always regretted letting go. Since I got that back it has basically been by number 1 gigging bass and nothing else is really getting a look in. I’d rather keep the 735 as backup, and for an alternative sound with the PJ config, but in truth I can’t afford to do so, and I’ve over stretched myself a bit buying the Lakland back (TL:DR - I need the money!)

Aguilar Filter Twin envelope filter - great condition and super easy to use & get very useable sounds from. £120 inc UK delivery Blurb 👇 Boasting two filters in one compact pedal, the Aguilar Filter Twin dual envelope filter will give you both iconic '70s funk sounds and entirely original tones. Its two filters sweep simultaneously in opposite directions, one up and one down, for an incredibly expressive filter pedal. And with a simple layout featuring blend, threshold, and two velocity knobs, the Filter Twin is a breeze to play with.

*Was looking at this last night and noticed it said 9-12v by the power input, so I’ve checked & tested it and it runs on a normal 9v pedalboard power or 12v, presumably there is more headroom at 12v, however I didn’t notice any difference - I know some were put off by the odd power requirements but I was mistaken! So there you are - run it the same as any other 9 or 12v pedal!* Trades? Yes, just fire over what you have and I may be interested, need a few things currently Fantastic and practical little pedal this - massively boosts your volume and immediately creates a slap tone via a mid scoop and low & high end boost - works really well. This is used but in excellent condition and comes with original 12v power supply - tiny too so will squee onto most pedal boards no problem! Reduced to £40 inc UK Shipping! Official blurb below: The MB Mini series of pedals from Markbass is made to the same high quality level as our standard effect line, but uses an ultra-compact, lightweight chassis. Smaller than other stompboxes, these incredible-sounding pedals will fit onto even the most crowded pedal boards, and the 9-12V power requirement means you can use them with any standard power supply. Give your pedalboard a “boost” with the MB Mini Boost—which also features our Variable Preshape Filter (boosts lows and highs, and cuts mids). Input: mono ¼” jack Input impedance: 1 Mohm / 6 Vpp Output: mono ¼” jack Output impedance: 470 ohm / 6 Vpp Boost Gain Level: from 0 to +20 dB Power requirements: DC Input +9/+12VDC* Dimensions: 48.4 x 38.2 x 105.2 mm / 3.23” x 1.5” x 4.92” Weight: 0.51 lbs / 230 gr * 12VDC power supply included

Harley Benton Block-800B vs bugera Veyron 1001M

Ah well there you go, some very good amps! -
Harley Benton Block-800B vs bugera Veyron 1001M
Paddy777 replied to KinkMaster's topic in Amps and Cabs
The HB 800 Block is a cracking amp, I’ve read somewhere (probably Thomann haha) that it uses the same power amp as some amps significantly more expensive than it - I don’t know how true it is, but I have used it with a preamp in the return and it was excellent, sounded excellent flat too going through the amps preamp normally, for £299 great value. I don’t know much about the Bugera’s altho I almost bought one in the January sales a couple of years ago as they were like £120 or something ridiculous, I’ve actually never heard a bad thing about them - people who have them seem to like them, although I think most people agree that the whole “1000w” thing is stretching it a bit -
Anything with the Sadowsky preamp in - and for extra top end sizzle Dimarzio Jazz Ultra or Bartolini B-Axis pickups 😮💨 🔥

The Anaconda is night and day better than a standard Sire V5/V7 - and I’m a fan of Sires too, they’re my favourite ‘budget’ bass by a long shot, but I’ve owned about 6 Sire jazz basses (not a V9 or V10 - they may be closer to Anaconda standard) and I’ve just bought an Anaconda and the difference is massive. The Anaconda is up there in quality with the Lakland Skyline’s whereas a Sire quite noticeably isn’t - there’s nothing wrong with them for the money you pay, but the Anaconda is a big step up. Also the Sire preamp is pretty poor and notoriously unreliable, but I suppose the perception of value is subjective and YMMV etc, for me I’d be looking at Anaconda’s along with Fender Japan/US, Lakland and Sandberg etc in terms of build quality, hardware and sound

I never played one of the older ones, so I can’t compare it to those, but it’s a very good B string - I’ve not given it a lot of thought which is a very good sign, I generally only think about the B string on a bass when it’s farty and dull every time you play a note, and this definitely isn’t the case here. Like everything on the bass it’s absolutely spot on, a proper working bassist’s bass. I use the B string a lot, I pretty much live between frets 3-12 on the B and then moving across the bass, and when a B string is crap you can’t do that.

For sale is my Tech21 VT Bass Deluxe. 6 programmable presets (either 6 for one bass or plug 2 different basses and have 3 for each). It’s a preamp, amp/cab sim, fx loop, dirt pedal & AB Switcher and DI all in one and can make several pedals redundant. It runs on a standard 9v pedalboard power supply or a 9v square battery which I thought was pretty impressive for such a powerful unit - great if you’re always running out of inputs on your power supply like I am You get really excellent sounds from it, Ampeg SVT to B15 through to RATM and plenty more - if you’re looking at this you probably know all about the pedal already and don’t need me to explain it to you Works perfectly, I’ve put some duo-lock on the bottom since these photos were taken. I paid £199 for this inc postage on eBay the other week but I’ve decided to stick with my smaller footprint VT Bass v1 as I don’t actually need the DI function or FX loop Comes with insert card that has the Tech21 presets on, will be sent well packaged and wrapped in bubble wrap/boxed etc Reduced to £150 inc postage - May accept trades or PX’s (or even PX + cash to you for something I really want) Preamps, Compressors, Lo-gain dirt maybe, but you’re welcome to try me - I’m fairly easily tempted 😁 £160 is the cash sale price but trade value is probably a bit more

For sale is my Yamaha BB735a 5 string PJ In Fired Red (one of the new colours out) - this bass is less than a month old, I’ve played it a handful of times and gigged in once - still has the plastic wrap on the battery compartment Comes with a very nice padded Yamaha Gigbag which is fur or velvet lined (something like that anyway - it’s nice and soft ha) The bass is incredibly high quality - same pickups as the BBP range, 6 bolt Miter neck joint which makes for an extremely tight fit, the body is sandwich of Alder/Maple/Alder, the neck is amazing to play - the quality of these BB700 series is just crazy Its active with a 3 band preamp, and an active/passive switch - in passive mode the treble control works as a normal tone control would on a passive bass, which is a really nice and useful touch and the preamp has a red led battery light This link to the Anderton’s page for this bass which has all the info and specs on it: https://www.andertons.co.uk/yamaha-bb735a-bass-guitar-in-fired-red/ *19/5: Back up for sale* **Reduced to £550 inc.

Fantastic (and very light) 800w Markbass TTE800 Tube Amp with built in Tube Compressor. This is the better quality Mk1 of these amps that was still made in Itsly Preamp & Compressor is run on 4 tubes - 3x ECC83 (preamp) + 1x ECC81 (compressor) and a class D head meaning it’s still sub 5lbs! Also has a fantastic quality DI giving you an excellent recording device rivalling anything out there at 3-4x the cost, and as it’s a Class D power amp you can run it alone without a speaker just as your DI live if you wanted to, it doesn’t require a can connected like full tube amps 3b Passive EQ and also ‘Colour’ knob which is like a tone control on your passive bass or like the MB ‘VLE’ function. This amp is insanely loud if needs be, and gives you an amazingly thick, dense sound that remains clean. This isn’t like your Ampeg’s etc that you can overdrive, it’s a clean tube amp, altho with some real effort and the gain cranked you can OD it with a boost but it’s not really that style, it’s just an authentic vintage tone with heft you can only really get from a tube preamp I have recently got a tube DI that fits on my pedalboard, and I go ampless on stage 95% of the time, and so I am getting a power amp that I can drive from my board if I need a cab, rather than introducing something else to my signal if I need an amp. This is an amazingly good amp - and for the money it’s an awful lot better than some of the others out there (an 800w Harley Benton amp is £300 currently, so this is miles ahead of everything else in this price range, and most above too) It also looks absolutely great - including amber lighting on the circuit board giving you a nice amber glow through the enclosure which looks ace on a dark stage Info on Markbass Website: https://www.markbass.it/product/tte-800/ I have price this to sell specifically at the price I need it to sell for to buy the power amp I want, so I’m not going to reduce it, if it doesn’t sell I’ll keep it, it’s a beauty (or if the amp I’m after goes I’ll withdraw it) Price is £360 - postage can be arranged, will be packaged very securely and it’ll arrive in one piece.

Bought a VT Bass off Joel for a reallY great price, fantastic pedal (although I probably need to give Tech21 some credit for that too 😁). Superb comms/packaging/delivery, couldn’t be happier!

I haven’t read the replies, just the OP’s post so it’s likely already been said, but Ernie Ball Cobalt Flats are definitely the brightest flats I’ve played. Chromes can be pretty bright to start with, but they get pretty thumpy before long and they’re also quite stiff IMO, whereas the Cobalts are relatively low tension for flats
