  1. Hi all, Here we have my TC Electronic 3rd Dimension. As new condition, in box with all box bumf. A phenomenal pedal - genuinely the best sounding chorus I've used/heard, irrespective of the price. Gives that chorus sound without the *swirl* and weird bass response you get from others. Absolutely bang on for 80s style chorus tones - think 'Too Shy' by Kajagoogoo! £28 delivered.
  2. Hi all, Here we have my TruTone 1-spot CS6 Pro. Here's the bumf from TruTone - they can word it better than I! ; Truetone 1 Spot Pro CS6 Highlights Low-profile, 6-output Power Brick with Truetone 1 Spot "Switching Power" technology Handles up to 1600mA current output All outputs are fully isolated, to eliminated unwanted noise Two of the 9Vdc Outputs switchable to 12Vdc, two of them switchable to 18Vdc Profile low enough to mount underneath smaller, flat pedalboards (such as the Pedaltrain Mini). All boxed with box bumf/cables/power cables/mounting blank. Still PAT test clear for another 5-6 months £80 delivered.
  3. Hi, Here we have my Peterson StroboStomp HD tuner. As new condition (the marks on the photo are on the plastic screen protector). Less than 12 months old. Boxed with all box bumf. This is the *king* of tuners. Will tune anything and everything, including Buzz feiten and sweetened tunings. Tracks instantly and incredibly accurately. Can change the colour of the screen too! £90 delivered.
  4. Hi, Here we have my Seymour Duncan Studio Bass Compressor. Selling as moving over to Multi-Fx unit. Less than 12 months old, so condition is as new. Box and all box bumf included. Awesome sounding unit that can be ran in either 9v, or, as I did, 18v for tremendous headroom and punch. Useful blend feature that allows you to blend dry signal into the compressed, giving you the ability to add body back into your sound. Also has a 3 way position switch to emphasise frequencies in the compressed signal, which adds a lot more flexibility. £110 posted. Thanks for looking.
  5. Hi, Edit - think I initially priced this a *smidge* too high. Now £90 delivered. Here we have my Boss OC-5. Not even a year old. Selling due to moving over to a multi-fx unit. Boxed with all docs etc. 9/10 condition wise. Just one tiny mark on the corner. Thanks for looking!
  6. Hi all, Here we have my Reverend Mercalli 4. Bought new 3-4 months ago at £879. Has less than 10 hours play time on it and is *as new*. Selling as I don't play 4's anymore. I thought I would do, but it's just turned out better to use my 5er for everything. So this is sat around not being used, which is a crying shame for such an excellent instrument. MM pickup at the rear, and P pickup at the neck. Korina body. Roasted Maple and Walnut neck. Hipshot ultralite tuners. Puretone input jack. String-through body. Made in Korea and set/up finished by Reverend in Toledo, Ohio. Tonally, I'd say these are the best pickups I've ever experienced on a bass. Totally full, fat and clear, with tremendous body to the notes. Playability wise, again excellent. A beautiful feeling neck with a nice shallow C profile. weight is 3.8kg. Based in Moreton in Marsh on the Gloucestershire/Warwickshire/Oxfordshire border. Collection or meet up only. I don't have the materials to pack this. I'm happy to travel a good distance for meet up/handover. Quite often in the south west if it helps. No trades please. thanks for looking!
  7. Hi all, Here we have my OLP Tony Levin Signature model in Peach. Bought around Xmas as a relatively cheap way to see if I'd gel with a 5-String Stingray type bass. In short, I did. This is a great playing and looking machine that has barely a mark on it. Previous owner advised me this was a NOS purchase and (aside from the pickguard film slightly delaminating) it looks it. I hesitate to use the word 'rare' as it's become almost meme-like! but it's certainly not an often seen colour for this model, and surely will attain some element of collectability in the future. I've had it recently professionally set up by Dave Smart (man's a wizard), at the same time I asked him to rewire the controls to be the correct way around - a lot of these came out the factory with the bass, middle and treble pots working in reverse. Currently has DR Hi-Beams on it and plays beautifully. The preamp is specifically tailored to Tony Levin's specs, and seems to have a bit more bass/bottom end than you'd expect from a Stingray type bass along with the snappy, bitey top end. Weight is 4.4kg on my scales. The only negatives I can find is one of the B-String grub screws has cross threaded. It's cheap as anything to replace, I just don't have the time (or any tools, believe it or not). The other being the Bass side of the preamp, will distort at the extreme end of the travel - this however isn't a fault per se, most Tony Levin OLPs did this from new. It's been checked over and all seems to be ok, certainly has lots of usable range - it would be ripe for a new preamp if you were so inclined. I'm located in Moreton-in-Marsh on the Gloucestershire/Warwickshire/Oxfordshire border, and don't have materials for packing this bass, so collection or meet up (I'm happy to travel a fairly large radius) only. I'm quite often around the South West/Bristol/Bath area if it helps. No trades please Thanks for looking!
  8. Interesting that you picked up on them sounding acoustically dull. Every Warwick I've owned (3 Streamer LX's, a Stage One, Corvette) and played (Buzzard, Thumb, Stryker) have *all* exhibited this, too. To the point that when I mentally think of a Warwick it's the first thing that comes to mind.
  9. In terms of outright 'volume' and decibels, it's probably still loud enough, I just find lower powered heads will start to drive the preamp harder to get there, and personally I hate any form of 'hair' or overdrive on my tone, so for me, higher powered heads, just ticking over, is what I look for. You might find this still works for you though? Having taken a look at the manual it's listed as: 700watts into 2 Ohms 500 into 4 Ohm 250 into 8 Ohm
  10. I was interested in one of these, they have a great feature set. However, the power rating is slightly misleading. It's 700watts into 2 ohms, not 4. Seeing as I like clean headroom, I'm not sure this would be up to it for my uses.
  11. Absolutely not. It's disgusting!
  12. I only see adverts at the top of the page, integrated into it as opposed to being a pop up. I have zero problem whatsoever with that. Although I'm a supporting member, this wonderful site, which has been a daily part of my life for 13-14 years has to be paid for somehow!
  13. There's only one I truly regret and wish I could get back - that being my first 'proper' Bass I ever bought. It was a 1998 Yamaha TRB4II in that horrid orange colour. I went to Coda Music in Stevenage after saving £400 all summer (2003) long (as a scruffy 17 year old oik) to be able to buy it. I was stoked beyond belief and it felt like a spaceship compared to my Squier and Aria beginners instruments. I absolutely loved this thing and it's dearly sentimental to me. It's popped up for sale a couple of times since at silly prices (and in worse condition and sporting some truly rank gold knobs and crappy aftermarket bridge), but I never had the funds. Last one from 2 years ago. https://reverb.com/uk/item/37224639-yamaha-trb-4-ii-1998-amber-transparent 8FK2166(?) Where are you now!
  14. I would if it was a neck made of carbon, or aluminium or something a bit different. If it's just bog standard wood, you'd just got to Warmoth.
  15. Having looked at the sales/launch bumf, it seems only the Rio colourway is limited to 82 pieces? And that the seafoam, white and black ones will be general production? (Unless I'm mistaken).
  16. I travel to Bristol every other week (will be there next weekend) and could get the bass up to South Birmingham/ Warwick M40 if needs be?
  17. I've seen some overpriced basses in my time, but this is definitely up there. Laughable. This is a £300-350 bass all day long.
  18. I don't disagree at all. Maybe this prolonged period of wage suppression has a lot to do with it too.
  19. I maintain the Bass/Guitar market is heading for an 'event' (I stop short of saying 'crash'). Prices were already rising very sharply, year on year, before COVID (and that's just accelerated it). My concern, that I often gripe about, is given these rises year on year, if it continues at this rate, as I'm sure it will, we can't be more than 3-4 years away from the average person being unable to afford/justify all but the cheapest options. Musicman stingrays are at 3k. Fender USA Standards at 2k, Warwick Teambuilt at 2-3k (just as examples). We have import lines now breaching the £1000 mark. I just don't see how this is all sustainable.
  20. I was in the same boat recently and bought the Digitech Drop. I played it for about 30 seconds and it went back in its box to be sent back. The tracking was really poor and it was quite glitchy. It was borderline unusable (for me, anyway).
  21. I posted something worse than this a few years ago, a graphic eq where every band was maxed or dropped to the lowest setting - absolutely all over the shop - and sounded like it. I got flamed for posting it, even though it was clearly, absolutely insane! I just want to know, in what situation would an EQ like that ever make sense 🤣.
  22. I'm GAS'ing for a Triad too. Very glad I took a punt on a Reverend. They fly under the radar a bit, but absolutely on par, quality wise with anything I've owned, from Spector, Musicman, Warwick. And, purely from a narcissist point of view, I've never had so many band members AND audience comment positively on a look of a bass, at a gig!
  23. I ordered it online! I was close to pulling the trigger on the Triad, but by all accounts the Mercalli has a bit more going on, on the bottom end in comparison, so appealed to me a bit more.
  24. Merchant City in Glasgow.
