  1. I saw him at a show about 25 years ago.
    An amazing musician, with an amazing band. Got to meet him afterwards, and was struck with what a down to earth nice guy he was. I was about 15 at the time and he was so inspiring musically and personally

  2. I have a fecker pretender bass logo on one I've assembled myself.
    I also have a bass I've assembled that had a fender logo on the headstock when I bought it. It has been mistaken for a '76 in the past. I did confess though but was told I'd done a good job!

  3. Only the distortion side of the m80 is a bit metally.
    The normal side has loads of options and eq available should you need it as well as the colour switch which will scoop the mids.
    The behringer mentioned above is definitely worth checking out, especially of you like the sound of ampeg.
    I've used lots of di / pres over the years for this exact purpose, and always come back to the mxr.

  4. It was really good to see some new faces today.
    Apologies bluejay again. I really must learn to read a name tag!!
    I walked away with a ditto looper ( it was either going to be an rh250 or the ditto). A total departure for me. I'm hoping it will expand my thought process while playing.
    Quite enjoyed Steve Lawson on the markbass stand, and Yolanda as always.
    Briefly meeting Neil Murray was my highlight though. That guy has been such an inspiration over the years.
    I also had a chance to play with both of the new mxr bass offerings - the bass chorus Dlx, and the bass od.
    I don't think I see them in my future, although I will try them again when I can actually hear the sound in the headphones over the sound of people spanking basses loudly

  5. It was ok.
    A fair few of the exhibitors had gone the headphones route, but the trouble was even with the headphones on you still had to really focus to hear yourself.
    There was one individual who spent a significant amount of time on one of amp stands trying a very new range of pedals with his 'homies' and a video camera playing so obnoxiously loud the other exhibitors were getting angry.
    Highlights of the day for me were the ditto looper, the rh250 amp, watching some of the demos, and the cort punisher - yummy!
    Especially awesome for me was the brief moment I had with Neil Murray !

  6. Hi
    After much consideration, I have decided to thin the herd a little. These pedals have not been used for a considerable while, and some have only been tried a couple of times, and in the case of the psu- not used at all!



    First up is a brand new Trex juicy Lucy power tank. This one runs at 12v only. I won it in a raffle and had no use for it, so here it is! Sells for around £100, so a bargain at £50? SOLD

    Secondly, a fender pt10 tuner. A basic model, bit tracks well to an open e, but not so well below that - £20 Sold

    Next up a fender blender fuzz pedal. Beloved of shoe gaze fans and bands like my bloody valentine, it has a unique sound with in inbuilt blend (as suggested by the name!)
    Last one I saw went on eBay for £77 + p&p, so £65 sold

    Moving along, we have an ehx micro q tron.
    A nice greasy filter, but since getting my bass envelope filter it hasn't been used. Someone please show this lovely pedal some love.
    Sells currently for around £60, so £35?SOLD
    Next is my old coloursound fuzz/wah/straight. Working well, and in pretty good nick for an older pedal (20+ years) I have seen these go for upwards of £100 on the 'bay, so £75 sold

    The next two pedals are both offerings from tone factor ( now mojo hand). The first is a fuzzsaw- a vicious fuzz pedal which sounds great with a bass. It has only one knob- volume.
    Please note that this is NOT the bass modified version.
    What shall we say for this rare beasty? £45 sold

    Secondly, is the boomstick bottom feeder.
    A filter based on the old dod 440 filter, but optimised for bass use.
    This has been with me since new, and the newer mojo hand red costing around £100, I'm asking £45 SOLD

    The red monster at the back is an old digitech rockbox. It is a combination distortion and chorus. Running from a single 9v battery or psu, it can cop the digital edged sounds of the heyday of glam and hair metal in the 80's
    Take this off my hands for £ 30? SOLD

    You will also see a dod grind fx 101.
    This is a rectifying overdrive modelled to sound Mesa esque.
    These seem to be becoming quite rare.
    £30?

    Not pictured here is a Mooer hustle drive. Bought it on a whim and didn't get on with it really. New -£59 must be worth £35 to someoneSOLD

    Finally, a Michael angelo batio overdrive.
    Essentially a tube screamer with a tweaked tone control as far as I can tell, it was available at around £100. Someone i'm sure could use a great screamer type pedal for £50?

    I am open to offers of trades. And prices I have given will include postage.
    I am going to be at the bass show on Saturday so if that could work for you lets talk and adjust the price accordingly!

    If you have specific questions abou any of these, please drop me a line





  7. For me, after a lot of trial and error, my chain runs:
    Tuner
    Light always on grit
    Octave
    Envelope
    Dirt
    Fuzz
    Comp if needed ( according to bands material)
    Wah
    Chorus
    Delay

    But a big +whatever to experimenting and finding your own preference
