Salt on your Bass?

A week ago now but I played my first overseas gig in Germany at a small doom festival in Leonberg, with Gévaudan.

Really really cool vibe, promoters really looked after all the bands and the crowd were ace both whilst on stage and hanging out during the before and after. we played pretty well and the sound was clear and mainly on point on stage. Good times and lots learned. Felt like a very different approach to live music on the continent. 

I have two of these and have just reshuffled my second board for a different flavour so letting this one go. Outstanding preamp DI pedal with cab SIM, emulating ampeg svt tones. 

Pedal is in great condition. No feet and small strip of velcro on back. Instructions included and boxed.

Looking for £290 (I messed up the price when listing cause I'm a numpty!) Price includes postage (assumes cleared funds), or can discuss if meeting up near me (Wellingborough) or Bedford/ Stevenage way....I could also get it to west London via my drummer.

Any questions let me know. Thanks

Awesome mic, used about 5 times for some bass tracking. Comes with box, leaflets etc. happy to post, or can meet Kettering/ Bedford/ Stevenage type areas. 

Shout with any questions.

Thanks 

I thought I'd post an update here, having read this thread about 30 times in the last year, as well as having messaged @Mertondirectly for a view. 

I picked up a TE1200 earlier this week. Rehearsed once with it but thought I'd share my initial thoughts as it's my first trace Elliot gear. 

Build quality feels so solid, and the knobs are tactile. I use the bag at the moment which feels ok, but understand concerns. 

Sound wise, it sounds big, dynamic and punchy right out of the box and the EQ feels really powerful. I haven't yet worked out the compressor so reserve judgement - I'm in the thinning out the sound space at the moment. I'm after some sustain out of it if possible. 

Overall first impressions are bang on what I'm after - simple to use, spades of power and a light weight alternative to my gt200. 

Gonna take a spin with 8 10s this Wednesday hopefully. ✌️

Loved the stream yesterday. Really awesome day and I thought the sound quality was ace. Bit of an abrupt edit though as I think geezer and Toni brought out a cake for Ozzy. 

Felt like a proper send off, those riffs are timeless and geezer is incredible as ever.

Wilson's a dude. Deal with confidence and I've heard this beast a few times. Wicked amp. ✌️

.....and so with great power comes great responsibility....

we rehearse very very loud. I'd run all night pretty safely, until I tried a different preamp my guitarist had brought along. I wasn't really paying attention and let him twiddle the knobs..... Volume dropped, smell of electrical burn and then nothing. 

The verdict - pushed the amp too far, dropped 1.5k+ of power onto the 410 with a fair level of drive, speakers and amp have failed. 

Solution: barefaced have been great as always. New drivers on their way. Sumo needs a board replacement which GSS are happy to sort. (Obviously all at my cost).

Lessons learned: 1. be careful with more power than the cab is rated. 2. Don't let your guitarist mess with your gear. 3. Maybe turn down on future...(Probably not though)

✌️

Drop to £300

I really want to keep this but have a few projects at home that need attention so looking to shed a few bits. 

Wicked pedal with knight fall, tarkin and T65 Octaver. All with individual clean blends, plus a master blend, and a master on/off switch. Effects stack in parallel for an absolute wall of awesomeness. Controls are really intuitive and easy to navigate. 

Velcro on underside, really wicked artwork. It's a wonderful pedal. 

I'll wrap box and post carefully. Any questions please shout. Selling cheaper than purchased, price includes postage second class. Can meet between Kettering, Bedford, Stevenage, Farnham areas of UK, or pass to my singer in north London...

Drummer west London....

Blurb from cog website: 

Hellraiser" Custom Bass Multi-Effects

Grand Tarkin Bass Fuzz, Knightfall Distortion and T-65 Octave all in parallel. Four level controls for mixing Dry signal, with only one ever active depending on which combination of effects are selected.

This is very much an expansion on the concept of the T-65 Octave and parallel sub octave in general.

Artwork is an adaptation of the Puzzle Box from the 1987 film Hellraiser, with oversized Moog-style knobs to finish things off.

Good fun last night in Nottingham at the Tap and tumbler. Wasn't sure how we'd go down but seemed to be really well received. I had a bit of a wardrobe malfunction....accidentally wore a random black shirt somehow....I won't go onto detail. 

Anyway, sound was great and and a good night all round....

I think today’s the logical day for showing this one. May the 4th be with you, and all that!

 

 

I’ve added a delay since last year and a more fully-featured drive pedal. The drone, a multi-chorus and a fuzz have made way. I’m happy with the functionality of what is essentially a novelty board though. In particular, the bass chorus and reverb both sound right up there with some of the best of that type of pedal.

Dude that's incredible! Top work!

Playing the Tap in Nottingham this Friday with Gévaudan. First time playing Nottingham, even though I was at uni there. Free entry...lots of riffs! 

Managing to get reasonably similar outputs across both boards now for songs, but also different flavours which is cool. 

I've owned and like them both. You're only way to find this out will be to try both imo....there's a few different algos between the two, but both really solid choices. ✌️

Late night wiring of my “Essentials” board. Saw a 3leaf Audio “Youre Doom” in Ebay. Couldn’t let it pass!

 

Love this 💜✌️

That’s what I do too! It’s great, but I re bought a hx stomp - and while the h9 sounds nicer and fits together nicely with midi  it seems overkill!

I keep looking at the h9 but sticking with the bassrig for now with h9. I like the h9 app in rehearsals to adjust on the fly, and the tuner seems pretty good so far. 

Couple of immediate thoughts would be something darkglass flavoured would probably get you in the territory, or an ampeggy drive type pedal for some hair/ drive (beta V in the classifieds or something similar.....that's what I kinda associate with those bands at least... Might be off base. 

Pedal on my board that kinda gets that territory is the damnation audio MBD - wicked pedals and nice clean blends function. ✌️

See I’ve got to the place where my h9 is on the chopping black - then see someone on here using it and get tempted to hold keep using it! 

Yeah it's a weird one....I have similar flashes from time to time. That said, for the footprint and amount of effects, including massive reverbs, there's not much else that compares imo. I was looking at changing it with a meris LVX but decided form factor was more important at this point. 

Just trying to sort out a limited number of effects in preset bank now to limit to 5 or so that I use. 

Sold a reverb to Ben. Great transaction, would deal with absolute confidence in the future. 

✌️

'finished' my new home/mini board. Covers loads of ground and intention is to drive either my own power amp or use when I need to travel light. It's a rock board 2.1 and powered by gigrig.

I may change the muff for an mbd 3 still in time, depending on how my feet fit the gaps on the board.  See how it goes anyway.... 

Sale offers welcome. Happy to post. 

Selling now but still open to trade. Postage excluded. Thanks 

Not owned long, velcro on underside, all PSU and gubbins on the box. Looking for a trade with a crybaby 105q mini wah....with a bit of cash your way. Pretty specific, but that's my ideal. Might sell separately....trade preferred. 

Cheers

Great photo. What bass is that?

Cheers dude. It's a custom built thunderbird by Feline guitars. 5 string, neck through active. ✌️

Played effectively a home town show last night at club 85, hitchin. 

Really cool line up and first gig since November for me and Gévaudan. Outed a new song, new drummers second gig and it all went off really well. One of those gigs where it just all clicked in and sound was great...although maybe a touch bass heavier would have been cool. Managed to pull some stupid faces as well which was cool. So good night all round.  ✌️🧙‍♂️

Been using this quite a lot at rehearsals now and got it dialed in pretty well with my preamp. 

I've finally got round to getting a case as well - made by Lykis, purchased via Amazon and it's a nice snug fit by customising the foam inserts. I'll likely gig it soon, but I do still love my valve amp, but stoked with this set up.
