[quote name='topo morto' post='1127685' date='Feb 14 2011, 09:42 PM']This is a really unique pedal and a great deal. You wouldn't catch me selling mine that cheap!

Fun on bass and one of the very best guitar pedals I've heard too.[/quote]
+1 on the P&C - fantastic fuzzfart fun.

Good luck Theo.

Just bought a lovely Lakland Skyline Decade through Shaun's revolving door policy for basses!

An complete pleasure to deal with again - very patient while I sorted out some not-uncomplicated financial shenanigans on my side to make the deal happen. Once everything fell into place, Shaun couriered the bass superquick and I'm now a very happy Lakland newbie.

An absolute gent.

Gawd bless ya guvnor

Great looking bass, not seen these before. Hopefully have an incoming Lakland Decade, so not for me this time. Good luck with it.

I can see a queue forming already.

This thread in itself is worth the £59.95 price of admission.

That really is a whole lot of bass for the money. Lovin' the Sandberg hard core aged vibe.

Great basses for the money these. Good luck with it.

[quote name='ShaunB' post='1102003' date='Jan 25 2011, 12:44 PM']OK, I'm mad. I joked about keeping this for a couple of weeks, but I keep looking at Mick's US JO and would have to flog this to reach the asking...

So, if there's a quick sale out there for what I paid for it, £750.00 + shipping, (bought from here) I can have a suitable birthday pressie!

If you want Fffat - this is it. Nuff said - read the forums/reviews.

Almost certainly - PM'd!

[quote name='Rasta' post='1100545' date='Jan 24 2011, 10:51 AM']Just been looking at these too: [url="http://www.bargeconcepts.com/vbjr.html"]http://www.bargeconcepts.com/vbjr.html[/url] & [url="http://www.xotic.us/effects/x_blender/"]http://www.xotic.us/effects/x_blender/[/url] - look interesting. I've also got a guy offering to build an A/B thats works both on/off or A or B unlike my Behringer pedal and then a Y box to put my signal from my effects to mix with my bypass clean bass sound then to the amp, £73 i think is what he said.[/quote]
It's an old fave, but might be worth looking at the Boss LS-2 pedal, which can do much of this. Often come up in the FX For Sale thread, typically £40-45 secondhand.

No doubt the revenue would love that just a little bit less than I would!

Not a bad idea that, cheers!

Hello

I'm about to leave my job after nearly nine years and am in line for quite a nice leaving pressie hopefully - "jammy git" I hear you say, but I've made these guys loads of money over the years so I think it's fair enough! I reckon they're gonna spend say £500 and will no doubt be looking for hints at what I want.

Now, truth is that what I really fancy right now is a Lakland Skyline Decade, and they ain't gonna run to that! So, I'm wondering what to go for a bit lower down the scale that will hold it's value best if I look to sell it on and put the punts towards the Decade that I really fancy...

What do you guys think?

Cheers!

Used to have a fretless one of these. Nice players, with lovely necks as I remember.
Headless bump.

[quote name='Jamesemt' post='1089148' date='Jan 14 2011, 11:49 AM']Just sorted my pedalboard out and there isn't quite enough room for this XO size pedal on my board...bit gutted actually as it's completely brand new.

Looking for some kind of fuzz/od/dist - I mainly use it with an envelope follower...

Ironically Boss size would be OK. Can add cash if anyone has a modded Bad Monkey![/quote]
Worth a go?....

+1 to all the Bass Merchant love. They're great at letting you explore and pick things up to play, and offering good advice without ever being too "sell-y". Recommended.

[quote name='Wud' post='1084751' date='Jan 10 2011, 08:06 PM']Do you have a specific Fuzz sound in mind ?

The Oxide is one immense pedal!!!
Well worth the wait/additional import VAT & delivery charges incurred on importing any items over from the US.[/quote]
Well, I'm no great shakes on matching particular sounds to particular fuzzes, but I'd say that the Prunes&Custard covers the filter-y / slightly synth-y end of things and the Buzzbomb is crazy but really versatile in fact, from the fizzy end of things to the out-and-out face melting. I like it! The Muff does what it says on the tin as everyone knows.

Sooo, I guess I'm looking out for something that gives me a good range of tone and blendability. I'm after something that's likely to be on on a low blend throughout tracks - and I think the OD and Fuzz sides of the Battering Ram would give myriad varieties of dirt.

[quote name='ShaunB' post='1087556' date='Jan 13 2011, 08:07 AM']I guess we're in the wrong forum for this kind of discussion[/quote]
You're right Shaun - have got a Decade thread over on the bass guitars forum!

[quote name='ShaunB' post='1086760' date='Jan 12 2011, 02:51 PM']...well, it just arrived... and I will let y'all know what it sounds like this evening - plays a treat![/quote]
Lucky devil. Looking forward to reports!

Dave you're a star!

Will have a good root round all those links.

Thanks a million.

Cheers! Not sure I need an active for what I do - hardly ever use the active circuit on my Sandberg TBH. Have seen a new passive one for £900 which is a nicer looking sum!

[quote name='KK Jale' post='1084161' date='Jan 10 2011, 01:13 PM']Like the looks, like the pickups. But check the weight. The only one I tried was a collarbone-bender.[/quote]
8lb 14oz from what I can see. I could live with that I reckon, doesn't sound too bad.

Thanks both.

pee emmed

A recent F/S thread has has reignited my GAS for one of these beasts.

Anyone have experience of them within a fairly 'heavy' psych/rock band set up? I guess my main question is how 'vintage' do they sound?

I love me Sandberg as my main gigging bass and I can get a good P sound out of it which works live (perhaps less so in the studio), but obviously it doesn't have that late 60s vibe that I'm thinking about.

So, I'm hankering after something that gets me that late 60s birth-of-rock edge. Anyone with experience of the Decade think it will cut it?

Or indeed any other recommendations? Remembering of course that don't have the funds for a late 60s J or P!

Thanks everyone

Ian

You guys have got me seriously GASing for one of these.

How 'vintage' do they sound? I love me Sandberg as my main gigging bass, but sometimes hanker after something a bit different from that and my jazz. I'm currently thinking of something that gets me that late 60s birth-of-rock edge. What do people recommend (don't have the funds for a late 60s P :/ )

[quote name='ahpook' post='1082185' date='Jan 8 2011, 03:08 PM']congratulations...

i'm quite partial to the single as well !![/quote]
Cheers sir!
