  1. Originally made by Lemsford Cases n Hertfordshire. I slightly modified this one for my needs with internal compartments, including a lift up panel so that I can have long items on top. The compartments are made to measure for my pedal board and for various other items. Has Protex hardware. I tried to put edge casters on it but failed because I used rivets and apparently nuts and bolts is what you need to attach them. I’ll include them anyway. external dimensions 26 x 82 x 42 CM internal lower compartments All 15 cm high larger compartment is approximately 47 x 32 cm Smaller compartments are approximately 18 x 28 cm What is just over 5 kg in my estimation. All internal dividers can easily be removed by undoing the screws through the side. Cash on collection preferred but can meet up in Hertfordshire or Essex.
  2. Made in Italy combo 500w into 4ohms so about 300w through the combo itself. This is my backup amp but I don’t need anything more this powerful and I could use the space and money. I’m its third owner and I’ve used it on around 20 gigs and never got the master above about 9 o’clock. Previous owner said he only gigged a few times at low volume and its first owner only used it for a few church gigs so it’s had a pretty easy life. Full specs here, although it’s the current version which may not be exactly the same. But looks identical to me. https://www.markbass.it/product/cmd-102p/ £475 delivered to the UK, but would prefer collection or meet up in or around Hertfordshire or Essex. Obviously would cost a little less if no couriers are involved.

  3. I'm guessing once the 'recipe' for the resin is finalised, every neck of a specific type will be an identical weight give or take a few grams?
  4. I see what you're saying but it happens when I'm wearing trainers too. If I can easily look down, it greatly reduces the problem but I do a fair amount of BVs.
  5. Does anyone else have a problem with this? I frequently hit the wrong button or more that one together, especially when getting to the back row. Happens most often when I'm doing backing vocals and can't look down effectively. The only way round this I can see it to have my mic pointing so that I'm looking down when I sing, which would look weird IMO. I'm actually thinking of putting my Helix at the back of my board and putting my most frequently used (separate) pedals back on the board. Is there maybe an external footswitch that will work for it, that I can put at the front, so I can continue using to use the Helix for these effects?
  6. Can it get the sounds the MXR can. Moog, etc?
  7. Bought a HB bass body and neck from me. Smooth transaction, highly recommend basschatter.
  8. Yet another positive comment, bought an MM pickup and preamp from me. Effortless transaction.
  9. Bought a lovely vintage modified P from him. Effortless transaction, deal with confidence.
  10. Came on a bass I just bought. Unsure how much use they had, but sound good and silks in reasonable condition. Tension feels like the ones I have on another bass so pretty sure they’re the JF344 cut for a P bass, at least 3 windings round the post. £35 delivered to mainland UK
  11. That's 100% what I want. Like someone else here said, if it nails the sounds we love (don't care how it's achieved frankly), the ease of use of a single stomp, and has the accurate tracking and low latency... Well, that's the holy grail right? It will almost certainly outsell every other synth pedal released recently, combined.
  12. Good to hear. It would be interesting to hear a comparison with the MXR. This is why I'm so baffled that a 20+ year old pedal like the Bass Synth Wah can nail the tracking so well. Such a shame I don't like the synth sounds, I don't find them in the least usable. Can't say I'm crazy about the octave tone either but it was a small price to pay for the tracking accuracy a
  13. I owned an FI for a while. I wish I'd heard your clip before I bought it, because even though you played the song noticeably slower that the original, it can't keep up when playing those octave notes. I actually own them. He's used a combination of pedals to get those sounds, so each one is a scene. Even though I own the Helix (and the tracking is superb), I use it like bunch of stomp boxes (albeit with a 'hidden' Ampeg rig at the end of the chain). I need to hit one button and go. If I were to buy this MXR pedal, I'd probably only ever use one of the presets and stick to it.
  14. Thanks! Chaka Khan's Ain't Nobody.
  15. I've been trying the synths in my Helix Stomp XL but I'm not getting the results I want.... not scratching that itch.
  16. I've searched through this thread but I haven't seen anyone ask how this pedal handles playing octaves in quick succession. The only 2 pedals that can track those that I know of are the the latest Boss Synth pedal and Digitech Bass synth Wah (which I bought from my friend and yours @Al Krow ). However, I'm not a fan of the synth sounds available on those. If this can do that, it will tick all the boxes.
  17. Absolutely 100%. A few years ago, I bought a bass on BC that I then realised had a bowed neck after I tried to (unsuccessfully) lower the action to my liking. The seller not only refused to take it back but completely denied there was anything wrong with it because they'd just had it set up. Which either makes his luthier inexperienced/incompetent or the seller an out-and-out liar. It's only when things go wrong that you find out people's true character. My luthier managed to straighten it with heating and clamping, but I then couldn't stand the sight of it so sold it on eBay. Obviously, detailing the problem and remedial action. Lost a lot of money on it and made me very wary of buying basses here. So huge kudos to @reggieboomboom, you're one of the good ones.
  18. Just over 17 Kg https://www.markbass.it/product/cmd-102p/
  19. Recently bought this but too large for my needs. 4 butterfly clips and lid comes straight off. 3 handles on each long side. Very, very sturdily built with aluminium edging and ball corners. Standard stuff. Would estimate the weight to be around 10kg but can weigh if someone was interested Exterior dimensions: 81 x 61 x 39 cm Interior dimensions Without lid: 76 x 56 x 28 cm The lid adds another 7cm in height. Lined throughout with 1cm thick hard foam. Prefer collection but can be posted at cost. I estimate it would be around £30 with Parcelforce. I would send it as-is; without packaging.
  20. Had the 2x10 and it was amazing. It his is a steal at this price.
  21. Was asked if a standard fender neck would fit on this body. Seems to be one fret longer than a standard fender neck. you might have to move the bridge back a little bit to compensate, but there looks like there’s more than enough room. You might be able to see the side screw holes though. Although there might be enough adjustment in the bridge saddles to allow you not to have to move the bridge back.
