    Hi All, looking to sell or swap my synth for either a bass station or drum station. rack version only please. its great synth for not alot of money, totally underrated with loads of options for a 1U rack unit, perfect working order and sounds amazing, i have two of these, but only need one so one can go. some info here. https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/novation-a-station British synth makers Novation take their now classic Bass Station Rack to the next level. The A-Station is polyphonic, adding 8 voices of polyphony to their 1-unit rack-mount synth. Unlike the original Bass Station and Super Bass Station which were real analog synths, the A-Station gets its voice architecture from the SuperNova synths, which use analog sound modeling. The A-Station has the layout and shape of the famous Bass Stations, but its guts are basically a slimmed down SuperNova. It has 25 knobs for real-time control, and all knobs transmit MIDI controller messages. The A-Station has three oscillators which provide sawtooth, triangle, sine and pulse width modulation. There's even a simple FM synth engine which can be dialed in for sharpening the sound. Oscillators may be set to Unison or Sync'd operation and a Noise source is also included in the waveform engine. There is a nice lowpass resonant filter with switchable 12 or 24dB/oct slopes and ADSR controls. A second ADSR envelope is available for the oscillators, as well as two LFOs with sample-and-hold and MIDI sync. On-board effects include reverb and delay. Their send levels can be controlled by the Mod wheel which is a nice effect. A 12-band vocoder is also on-board for processing external mono sounds such as drum loops or vocals. The A-Station's pads sound great when vocoded with external sounds. External sounds can also be used as an oscillator, run through the filters, envelopes, etc. with much better results than were possible on the original Bass Station. There's even a built-in Arpeggiator whose speed synchronization and sweep range can be stored with the program for instant recall. Unfortunately, some of the older Bass Station's problems still have not been addressed in the A-Station. Namely, the lack of a power switch, a puny 2-digit LCD screen, and it's still not multitimbral. But for clean analog sounding synth bass, punchy leads, pads, filter sweeps and more - the A-Station is certainly a great piece of kit to have around! For a cool compact keyboard version check out the K-Station.

    Old topic i know, just wanted to point out thats his G&L L2000 series E with slot pole pieces, thats the reason i got mine, he used that alot, check out paul weller live, but not sure what was going on with the control plate so im thinking this was pre production that he might have got in the early 80s because of rock school, maybe a push by G&L for promo in to the Uk, or may be he ripped out the old electrics and made it him self ? no idea, as said i did try and contact him to find out as i have always wanted to ask him about this, so if anyone see him maybe ask him for us all ? its interesting

    funny you should mention the Furman, i got out bidded on the ART version not long ago that had the digital meter on the front for Volts and more importently Amps, as i wanted to keep a check on what current i was drawing through the main plug. iv got that many transformers now that i have to have remote control switichs on banks, cus as you know when some units are just turned off at there own switch the transformer is still on and will just warm up. so yea a good call on that for a start, and one thats just reminded me to go looking again, Amek 9098 MMMMMM now theres a story, great bit of very usfull gear,, i too have the 9098 eq, which ihave found to be not just good on vocals, but if i put my bass through it, it will suck out every bit of info right out the pickups and a very wide eq to choose from, i love that thing, what do you think of the compressor comp to what ever else you have ? and what do you use it on ? master mix ? cheers @BigRedX what digi mixer did you have ?

    have you checked all the ground wires ? you could while its on get a bit of wire and try jumping the earth points to see if it stops. and you could try taking the battery out and see if it still does it, and then again try jumping the earths also try jumping an earth point to the ground nut in the input of your amp, that will tell you if its the solder joint on your bass output jack, or dodgy earth in the lead. good luck

    Ahhhh.... cards on the table, im abit of a rack junkie, always looking to see whats in peoples studio racks, purly a learning curve thing. but then i get to wondering why ? based on my limited knowledge of it all. why have that and not this, and just why do you keep that old unit when there is new stuff out now thats suposedly better, or so they say ! and thats what worries me, only based on what i have found and use, i dont think that some newer stuff is better, its different ok, but better ? surly must just depend on what and how you use it. and that leads to another whole new argument, the "which is better", software against hardware argument, which you can google till you are numb, so that can be opend in another topic if wanted. But ... if we can just focus on mainly talk about hardware or rack gear, ok, if you have it in your rack because you dont like some software then fair enough lets have it. ahhh ..that just sounded like a contradiction didn't it, 🙂 im sure you know what i mean. so whats in your rack and why ? compaired to anything ? fave bits you would not be with out, cheap or expensive it matters not. please post a pic... i am sure a few people on here will get something usefull out of this topic. iv been checking out and buying some hardware reverbs lately, so have some good info here, some old gear i think is still very useable. but im going to start with this, The Electrix warp factory. https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/electrix-filterfactory-warpfactory ok the Electricx warp factory, .......basicly a Vocoder on crack ! i got this because im doing funky music and latly disco stuff. i tried the korg Micro that a friend clarky on here has, and its ok, just not enough control, i also have an expensive in its day a TC Fireworx with a vocoder built in, and i found that to be as good as it was, just a bit fiddley to get right. The Warp factory has a waveform built in to it so you do not have to connect a keyboard in the back to to use it, just connect a mic and you are good to go, and it does sounds good, that basic sound has become iconic and been used by many. But once you do connect a keyboard..... it opens up a whole new world, as soon as you play it you just know where jeff lynne gets his sound from, as its like a ready mix packet of instant ELO. check this so this one is in my rack to stay i think, al post the tracks when i have done them. worth looking for if your after that sound.

    i was selling something on ebay, and a guy got intouch saying he could not buy from ebay for some reason, and would i sell it on reverb as he can buy from there, so i signed up just to sus it out and was a bit woried of the payout system in that i had to send the stuff before i was paid, i didnt like that, so i left it, but seems thats the way it works, can anyone explain how it works more clearly and the pitfalls if any please ? cheers
  16. funkgod
    I would put a hoop in my pants, stick a red ball on my nose, and ware size 30 shoes, if it helped put sausages on the table. i dont care, i will play anything if im paid to do it, its that that funds the stuff i really like to play, but does not have the same income 🙂 some times you have to sell your self. and im proud to do it 🙂
  17. funkgod
    ooo yea, yea, thats for you ped... i think you should fund it by selling me that rubbish L2000E you have tucked away 🙂
  18. funkgod
    yea, its defo not for people with stairs, you could put the wife at the bottom and say "CATCH" 🥵 Honest m' lord,,,,, it was an accident. what ? well yes i did up her insurance, from £1000 to 2 million only last week, did my ex wife go the same way ? what, squashed by bass cab ? god noooooo pfffffff.. that was just a rumour....... and anyway... i was acquitted. so.... if you do buy it... dont forget to up the wifes insurance, you know... just incase 🙂
  19. funkgod
    hi, its no lightweight thats for sure, its a quality solid build, if it fell down stairs it would prob take your wall out, but hay the combo would be fine 🙂 i too dont mind the weight of bass gear, i will always go with sound over weight so if it sounds good i dont care if fact i pref heavy basses also, my wal iv had since the 80s is a ton in weight, and when i retired it cus its battered now, i could not find anything to replace it untill i tried the early G&L L2000 E. and i have a few of them now and all of them are very heavy, in fact doug wilkes has just made me a fretless jazz bass because i could not find an early G&L fretless, PED snapped up the last one i had hopes on and i missed the auction, ( come on ped youve had it long enough now 🙂 ) and i said make it using heavy woods, his reply was " be carefull what you wish for" and he was right, that too is a tank, but man the sound of it, so yea i dont mind heavy, regarding the sound, its just killer, tried all sorts of combos over the years, and for my tone and recording the swr is just hands down the best for lots of reasons. check this out... really interesting read about steve rabe. https://bassmagazine.com/artists/true-genius-remembering-steve-rabe-and-swr oh and anything good is worth travilling for 🙂

    its found out its for sale and its not happy, its turned around and is facing the wall, it just wont turn around and look at me. oh well, iv got a gig coming up and when i went to ask it, i was met with this...
  21. funkgod
    not exactly living my best life, just doing what im good at, i still have to earn a crust, and sometimes it does not put steak on the table, mostly sausages at best, which i dont mind cus i like sausages 🙂 shame you had to pack in the band, i use mine as therapy, without it and music i would crack up too, as i hate tv, not watched tv for 20 years, so that extra time i try to use to create. if you decide to get back into a band let me know, because i taught bass for awhile and i do get a few bands asking for bass players, have got a few local bass players on here back into bands, infact i have got one right now on the wirral looking for a bass player, so just pm me when you feel the need. lets get you back playing again. you know you mis it 🙂 keep well
  22. funkgod
    AAAHHH i remember that gig, Nantwich Jazz fest. the mother of all sh!t gigs, not the fest, just the band, theres one i just knew would never go away, someone, somewhere, would have evidence of it to use later on.... and hay presto 🙂
  23. funkgod
    im good thanks, hope you are too, spending as much free time as i can doing a 5 track ep for release for my funky band with a more disco vibe. some sounding very good at the mo, even if i do say so myself and some abit soso that im not too sure about, but all great fun, esp looking for some old disco sounding studio toys, just aquired a nice "Electrix Warp Factory " yeeeee ...we will see. so that, and the 80s tribute band, and still fixing mixing consoles in my workshop with a few beers down the local at the end of the night, makes for a pritty good day. What you up to ? tell all....and dont skip bits 🙂 🙂
  24. funkgod
    its a great price, and to be fair to him its only what he bought it for 🙂 its alot of amp and cabs in very good condition for not alot of money, £300 ! ! he could if wanted almost double that. so a more than fair price from an upstanding guy not wanting to make cash on it. not often you get that these days.
