    [quote name='jonsmith' post='733253' date='Feb 2 2010, 06:17 PM']Haven't you got a reissue one on your CS?[/quote] Yes - and it sounds lovely. I want a backup though! I also really want a stereo output - I may resort to re-wiring my 4001cs....

    [quote name='Bassassin' post='732239' date='Feb 1 2010, 09:19 PM']I think this is one of the earlier ones - it's got a different bridge too. Never noticed it's a bolt-neck, either - the ones on the Bach site are neck-through: <snip> These are through-neck, not bolt-on:[/quote] The one on eBay is definitely bolt on:- [url="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y263/maceachern/ebay/IMG028.jpg"]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y263/mace...ebay/IMG028.jpg[/url]

    [quote name='Bassassin' post='731980' date='Feb 1 2010, 05:58 PM']Not sure what postage from the Czech Republic would be, but they're somewhat cheaper new, direct from [url="http://www.bachmusik.com/en/p101036/rbb-2-trd/"]BaCH[/url] That's about £240. I like these, quite a lot... :brow: J.[/quote] Different pickups on their own website, aren't they. The example on eBay has (what look like) toasters. They are rather pretty aren't they? Rather chunky bolt-on necks though. I am sure they feel and sound quite different from a Rick.

    [quote name='AttitudeCastle' post='731522' date='Feb 1 2010, 11:58 AM']ok thanks! i am very interested in this but £100 is a little steep for me right now, but that is an AMAZING price, i'll see what money i can scrape together but i am interested, can this take a standard BOSS power supply or? also what are the dimensions? as my pedal board is currently BOSS only + a big muff, and with this things connectors at the north end i'll need to re-arrange, maybe drop the muff from the board etc Many Thanks! Note: How would you want payment? and would it be posted or? (sorry! i sound like i've bought it! count this as a feeler offer i guess)[/quote] Thanks for your interest. The pedal takes a standard Boss power supply. the approximate dimensions are 4" x 6.5" and 2" high. Payment by Paypal. When that has cleared I could post or the buyer is welcome to collect. I could post however you want (at your cost), but it would have to be signed for on delivery (e.g. Royal Mail Special Delivery). I think that'd probably cost about £8. Okay?

    [quote name='AttitudeCastle' post='730969' date='Jan 31 2010, 07:07 PM']what is the difference (minus cosmetics, and i must say the new one looks very very cool) between yours and this? [url="http://www.buyanalogman.com/Bass_Octave_Fuzz_p/bc-bass-octave-fuzz.htm"]http://www.buyanalogman.com/Bass_Octave_Fu...octave-fuzz.htm[/url][/quote] I think the only difference is the case and the addition of a status LED on the newer version.

    Hi folks, I need to upgrade by delay pedal and get a tremolo. Up for grabs is my Black Cat Bass Octave Fuzz. I will take £100 for the pedal - but would prefer a swap/trade. The Black Cat is a replica of the Maestro Bass Brassmaster (similar to the Melekko B:Assmaster). This is original Black Cat pedal. No longer in production and very difficult to find. Near mint condition (but for some very minor cosmetic scuffs on the front - see the pics attached). [list] [*]True Bypass switching [*]AC adaptor jack (Boss PSA/Ibanez style) or internal 9V battery [*]Normal Volume, Effected volume, and Drive knobs [*]Two toggle switches: filter and Harmonic for various tones [*]Fuzz with octavia sound with excellent low end response. [*]Heavy duty steel metal enclosure about 4" x 6.5" and 2" high [/list] These are the pedals I am interested in:- [list] [*]Lovepedal Babyface (tremolo) [*]Lovepedal Echobaby [*]Catlinbread Semaphor (tremolo) [*]Boss DD-7 [*]TC Electronic Nova Repeater [*]Retrosonic Analog Delay [/list] Open to other suggestions!

I find arranging and rearranging pedals and adjusting the settings a real pain in the arse. I want it all in one box and with presets, dammit![/quote] He'll be back!!!!

    mosfet

    The Twickerman replied to Bucket Head's topic in Effects

    [quote name='Silent Fly' post='728148' date='Jan 28 2010, 09:48 PM']Mosfet or not does make a difference sound wise but using mosfet does not necessarily make a bad pedal sound good or vice versa. I would suggest to not consider the presence (or not) of mosfet transistors when you buy a pedal. IMO, sound, connectivity, interface, construction and customer support are more important elements.[/quote] The question arises I suppose because Fulltone decided to label the redesigned pedal as the "Bass Drive MOSFET". This suggested it is a selling point. I have no idea why they would - all that matters is how it sounds.

    mosfet

    The Twickerman replied to Bucket Head's topic in Effects

    [quote name='Bucket Head' post='727719' date='Jan 28 2010, 03:52 PM']what is mosfet in relation to pedals? wat does it do ect and what difference does it make cheers[/quote] MOSFET is an acronym for Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor. It's a type of transistor. They are often used in amplifier or buffer design (and make good switches too). They are quite linear and relatively easy to design with. Unlike bipolar transistors (which they largely displaced in amplifier design) they are not susceptible to catastrophic over-heating. That's about all I can remember now (it was a long time ago I did my degree). In am amplifier, MOSFETs can be used to provide oodles of clean power (think of Trace Elliot). In relation to pedals, it just means the circuit designer used MOSFETs in the circuit and, in itself, doesn't really mean very much at all! Why do you ask?

    [quote name='mancunianfox' post='727478' date='Jan 28 2010, 12:32 PM']I ordered the parts to make a simple true bypass blend pedal this morning. Might take a few photos as I am making it as well. I use www.musikding.de for all my pedal parts. Its a German site but Klaus' service is usually excellent. Parts cost me £18 including shipping, ordered 8.00 am and shipped by 9.30. He also does some kits with PCB's for pedals like fuzz face, tube screamer and distortion plus which are about £25.[/quote] Oooh - thanks for that link! I may be making some purchases!!!!

    [quote name='robocorpse' post='727176' date='Jan 28 2010, 12:54 AM']3x jack sockets, .0047u cap, hammond style metal box, neutrik TRS plug and 2m of cable. Total cost £11, labour 20 minutes. Rub in the magic snake oil and add vintage looking logo. Result £79. I shall look into making identical units, advertise them on ebay, and wait for the insults to start flying when they claim I have "stolen their design". I hasten to use the word "stupidity" lest I annoy the mods, but really... [/quote] You think you're clever? Why aren't you doing it then?

    [quote name='Bassassin' post='727118' date='Jan 27 2010, 11:43 PM']Keep watching the "For Sale" sections on RickResource - both C64s & stray horsies do come up fairly often. You'd probably get a decent deal, as well.[/quote] ...if only I had the money now...

    [quote name='Bassassin' post='726741' date='Jan 27 2010, 07:32 PM']I don't think any 4001 copies pre-date 72/73, when these features were phased out of real Ricks, so horseshoes wouldn't have been on the basses the Japanese factories were imitating.[/quote] The horseshoes have been available on stock Rickenbackers for years now. Only with the recent demise of the 4001C64 and C64S have they passed into history again. Damn shame! I should've picked up a 4001v63 whilst they were still around.
  16. The Twickerman
    If one of these replicas included a replica of the horseshoe bridge pickup, then I'd be interested. Especially if it had a stereo output. Know what I mean?

    [quote name='robocorpse' post='725894' date='Jan 26 2010, 11:23 PM']I beg to differ. Do you not agree that these boxes go for far in excess of what they are actually worth, purely because they have the magic "R" on them? If I started knocking up "Rob-O-Sound" boxes and advertising them on ebay for more than a tenner, I would be laughed off. I say good luck to Twickerman, the more money he gets the better, if people are willing to get into a bidding war for it, thats their lookout. How is that an insult?[/quote] Correction. You'd probably get about £50:- [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bass-Electric-Guitar-Stereo-Sound-Box-4-Rickenbacker_W0QQitemZ290394400569QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Guitar_Accessories?hash=item439cdae739#ht_4836wt_935"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bass-Electric-Guitar...9#ht_4836wt_935[/url]

    I have the head version. It is wonderful. Someone should snap up a bargain fast. If I had the cash and the room I'd have already clicked "buy now".

    [quote name='SS73' post='724625' date='Jan 25 2010, 10:10 PM']Used for all stereo sound rick's, plug the stereo jack into stereosound on the rick, now you have the neck pup and bridge pup at the end of each mono jack, now plug each one into two separate amps for a more tuneable sound. This is an unbelievably over priced item, for a lot of cable and some jack's. You can make this at home and if you use quality components and it will be far superior. I hope no one on BC is stupid enough to be bidding on this [/quote] Remember - no-one forces anyone to buy. I agree that they are overpriced. It's cute to look at though (imo), but people will always pay extra for originals. I must say, I AM surprised what some folks are willing to pay. Just for once, I am not complaining. Still wish I didn't have to sell it though. :-(

    I don't use an envelope filter at the moment - but when I did I was VERY partial to the Boss AW-2. I tried the Maxon AF-9, but it didn't inspire me. You can hear the AW-2 (together with a Boss OC-2 octaver and Sovtek Big Muff) on a cover of Robert Wyatt/Phil Miller's "Nan True's Hole" on myspace page. Don't expect hi-fidelity - it was recorded using only two small condenser bugs in the rehearsal studio.... www.myspace.com/meanwhilegardens Get the idea?
