ash_sak Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) Hi, i've been messing about with the idea of buying a new bass for ages now but can't really justify it due to major lack of money therefore i thought fx would be another thing to try out. But again, i'm still low on bass funds so if anyone has any pedals knocking about that they're willing to give away i'll take anything. Please though dont offer any broken pedals cause the last time i tried to fix something i ended up with a powered mixer lying all over my floor and a burn on my arm from getting too close to a light...fun stuff but the mixer was still broken by the end of it. (I have paypal so could send money for postage that way if anyone offers anything) Thanks. Enjoy. Ashok. p.s. i'm new to this site, i spent hours reading through peoples posts this morning wishing i had money to buy some of the stuff you lot were offering but that's about it for 'experience', so please use simple language with me. Took me a while to work out what PUP meant. Edited January 21, 2009 by ash_sak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BR aint particularly hard to use just very labourious though until i gather some funds that's really the best option going. (on a plus note though the BR makes a damn good 4-track) And i would sell some stuff but i still do use all of it, apart from perhaps a mic cable and some spare strings it's all used.

And the built in fx aint much better. As for compressors, all you can do is turn it up or down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPBass Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) Oh dear........we have a live one!!! Thanks for the Warwick Tayste, just wish Id asked sooner. Now Id like a Markbass 3x10 combo with 2x10 ext cab (matching of course) My Ashdown is good but all I can do is turn it up or down and the Eq is bitch to twiddle to get the right sound.

Guest BassKS Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Courier knocked on my door this morning and had a parcel for me. It turns out that someone from Basschat sent me an Akai SB-1 out of their good nature. Well surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynepunkdude Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Come on guys give the guy a break he obviously thought he would try to get something for nothing but has failed and the responses have been funny but I think we should leave the poor bloke alone.

I have in the mean time though been searching on ebay for cheap kit, post christmas and credit crunch is all it took for people to start flogging their whole fx boards cheaply.

CPBass Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) Hey Ashok, No offence meant mate, it did indeed take some bottle and you have conducted yourself impeccably. "He who dares wins" I just had to have a dig. Although, I was laughing whilst replying. Just a heads up for ya, the Biyang range of pedals on Ebay are a givaway for what you spalsh out. Nice n cheap and usable. Good luck in your quest for the elusive tone. Col Edited January 14, 2009 by Voodoosnake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
