GP-Lightstone Tube Bass 2 - £230 delivered in UK - *SOLD* £230 Glasgow

[JohnR]

GP-Lightstone Tube Bass 2. £230 delivered in UK. In very good condition. Includes box and power supply. The power supply is the Euro type but I will provide a suitable adapter. I can also supply the cables required to power it using a CIOKS power supply if needed. 

 

Recently purchased from here and I am selling it for what I paid. I love the tone and the build quality but it's simply too bulky for my pedalboard so I am simplifying.

At its core are two ECC 83 / 12AX7 tubes, which are operated under typical operating conditions (anode voltage over 200V-). Three stages work as voltage amplifiers, while the last stage is used for impedance conversion and sends the output signal to the input of the amplifier with low impedance and thus less sensitive to interference.

What many bass players lacked in tube bass has now been implemented in the new model. For example, the "Tube Bass 2" now has a DI output that can be switched "pre" or "post EQ" including a "ground / lift" switch. As a result, more versatile applications are possible.

In contrast to the old Tube Bass, both channels of the "Tube Bass 2" can now be set completely independently of each other in the pre-amplification (gain) and in the output level (master). This allows a much better coordination between the channels.
The pedal is designed for bass guitars with active, passive and piezo pickup systems, with a 3-stage slide switch (PI - HI - LO) the input sensitivity can be adjusted to the bass used.

The "Tube Bass 2" has a 4-band tone control that is effective for passive circuits, which can shift the basic sound in different directions.
The "Tube Bass 2" has additional "Bright" and "Deep" switches for both channels independently, which makes the sound sound more bass-heavy or even more brilliant, depending on the setting in connection with the tone control. As a result, even more variability in the sound of both channels is achievable.

The tube preamp is designed in channel 2 in such a way that, depending on the setting of gain and master, rich overdrive, distortion and even fuzz distortions can be generated.

The channels are optically displayed through the "tube viewing window", where the tubes are illuminated in different colors. Two status LEDs next to the "CH.1-2" button permanently indicate the set channel for orientation, even in bypass mode.

Another new feature of the "Tube Bass 2" is the type of power supply, which is no longer AC voltage, but via a very compact 12VDC (DC) plug-in power supply. This saves space on the pedalboard.

All inscriptions as well as the logo are made of laminated, light- and UV-resistant resistant adhesive films.
