  1. Bought secondhand this year as I thought I 'needed it' but am now clearing out all pedals except a TU3 tuner and going straight into the amp. The red on/off light isn't as bright as it could be but the pedal works fine.
  2. I bought this brand new earlier this year and it's been used for two rehearsals but I've realised that, unlike some players who 'want their sound', I don't really want any peddles or extra carrying to gigs, so am going down to a TU3 tuner and straight into the amp, and as long as something bass-like comes out of the speakers I'm not too bothered, so here is a £160.00, as new pedal in box, going for a lot less
  3. I bought the darker one on here - I understand it was a one-off made for one of the managers at the factory, and it's been used around the world at some fairly big gigs (before I got it). Soon after I saw the lime green one on Reverb (though then it was plain wood and only three pots. I had to buy it immediately, had it first dyed green and then decided to go the whole hog and get it professionally painted in metallic lime green. Had an extra control fitted and, for the first time in forever, appear to be GAS free
  4. Two early 90's Patrick Eggle Milan V's. Very few made and no others like these two.
  5. I always have an MXR microamp and Rafferty HPF Pre 2 bass preamp/adjustable high pass filter/phase switch between my 5 string db and Phil Jones briefcase. It's not for volume but just to fill out the sound. I wouldn't contemplate playing live without a preamp.
  6. Just bought a Digitech bass whammy from Ben. Arrived straight away, beautifully and safely packed. great guy
  7. Just bought a Realist db docking station from Marc. Arrived straight away. Great bloke to deal with
  8. Buxted, near Uckfield.
  9. Have a look at GUS Guitars. Simon Farmer makes a cedar laminate body and neck with a carbon fibre exo-skeleton. If it's good enough for Prince then it should do for the rest of us
  10. Richard bought a bbom 5 string bridge from me. So easy and great communication. Great guy
  11. I bought this a couple of years ago (secondhand) and have never used it. It's been sitting on my pedal board collecting dust, so it's time to free up some space. They are over £250 plus postage new. Handmade in Germany Input switcher 3 x input gain, 3 x footswitch controls 2 outputs The Palmer TRINITY provides easy switching between guitars without unplugging and the associated noise. Three instruments can be connected, which are selected by footswitch and fed to the output. Each input has an adjustable booster providing up to 12dB gain (4:1), to balance instrument levels without changing the amp settings. In addition, the Trinity features a dedicated tuner output.

    Great guy. Wonderful communication. I will happily buy from again
  13. In a good way or not? Thankfully I'm GAS'ed out at the moment, so no desire to do anything (yet).
  14. I'm not going to be any help at all because anything more than a string change and I take my basses to a luthier. It costs a fortune but I just can't trust myself to get it right without totally f'ing it up. If you manage it I might one day take the plunge and give it a go myself. I watch with interest to see how you get on
  15. I avoid anything with Fender or Squier on the headstock but I do like the look of these. I hadn't realised that they did them passive (my preference). I'm GAS free at the moment, but these will be on my radar (I like the fact that they are lightweight and not a P or J bass) when GAS strikes again (which it will probably sooner rather than later
  16. I had a 22 fret neck made by Keisel/Carvin in the USA. It was cheaper than I could get made for me in the UK (even after import duty etc).
  17. Bought last year, fitted and then never used (except to tune the bass). I just don't use my double bass live, so rather than have £190.00 worth of pickup sitting here I think it should go to someone who might actually use it. Here's the blurb from the website: For Acoustic Upright Bass Does not require a pre-amp or other active, battery powered gear Produces a rich and powerful response that is acoustically true for both pizzicato and arco without adjusting controls The flexible element fits under the bridge foot picking up sound from both the bridge and top plate - Does not include 1/4" both ends cable Designed by Ned Steinberger in association with David Gage The Realist Upright Bass acoustic transducer was designed by Ned Steinberger in association with David Gage. A primary design goal was to create a transducer that would work equally well for pizzicato and arco through commonly used amplifiers, without requiring a pre-amp or other active, battery powered gear. A flexible element fits under the bridge foot so that it picks up sound from both the bridge and top plate. Produces a rich and powerful response that is acoustically true for both pizzicato and arco without adjusting controls. No preamp necessary. Easy installation. Just plug it in.

    Let us know how you get on with it as I too have a thing about Thunderbirds, but the reviews about their weight and unwieldiness have always put me off (plus finding a 5 string version that is affordable - though I have seen one on Reverb so would love to know what you think before I decide
  19. Hi Jules, I sold mine a couple of years ago to a guy in Lewes - can't remember his name. He does the odd spot in the local pubs and plays it like an upright. If I remember I'll let you know.
