Hi, I’m selling my Aguilar Octamizer version 2. Well looked after and very little use. £185 price includes UK Postage. Here’s a bit of info from Aguilar: AN ALL-ANALOG OCTAVE PEDAL THAT CREATES A WIDE RANGE OF MUSICAL SOUNDS AN OCTAVE BELOW YOUR BASS SIGNAL. Modeled with old school and new school needs in mind, the Octamizer features independent volume controls for both the Clean and Octave sounds. This makes dialing in the exact amount of each a cinch. The two discrete signal paths also have their own tone controls that were specifically designed to enhance and expand their musical possibilities. The CLEAN TONE control uses a full spectrum tilt EQ, allowing for the boosting of treble while cutting bass or boosting of bass while cutting treble. This unique circuit allows you to create a clean sound that creates an octave doubling effect or to blend the sounds together for a great thick, snarky synth tone. *Pedal powered by universal 9-volt power supply only. Not included. Proprietary detector circuit for superior tracking Continuously variable multipole low-pass filter for Octave sound Dual filter architecture Full spectrum tilt EQ for clean sound Pedal powered by universal 9-volt power supply only. Not included. Cheers! Michael

Hi, I’m selling my Darkglass B3K. Well looked after and sounds great. I’m just not using it anymore. £160 price includes UK Postage. Here’s some info from Darkglass: An intuitive format that contains brutality and clarity at the same time is what the B3K delivers. A defined and powerful overdrive, with a simple layout, it sets no boundaries or rules to unleashing the desired tone. Blend Mixes the clean input signal with the overdriven signal. The clean signal remains at unity gain while the volume of the overdriven signal is set by the Level knob, allowing for fine control of the blend ratio. Tone Controls the high frequency content of the sound. A variable low pass filter from 3kHz (ccw) to 8kHz (cw). Level Sets the volume of the overdriven signal. Drive Sets the amount of saturation in the overdriven signal. Grunt When engaged provides a massive low end boost to really thicken your sound. Mid Boost Gives a subtle 6dB boost from 300 Hz to 1kHz to help you cut through a bit more. Output Connect from the ¼” Output jack to the input of your amplifier or another effects pedal. Input Connect your instrument or output from your pedal board to the ¼” mono jack. 9V DC Only use a regulated 9V DC adapter with a center-negative plug. Dimensions Width: 75 mm / 3″ Length: 111 mm/ 4¼″ Height: 43 mm / 1¾″ Weight: 250 g / 0.55 lb Warning The Microtubes B3K has a current draw of 20mA. Only use a regulated 9V DC adapter with a center-negative plug. Unregulated power supplies and/or higher voltages may result in suboptimal noise performance and even damage your unit, voiding the warranty. Thanks, Michael

You are a bad man Eude 😄

The body is rather large and probably a bit of an acquired taste, buy they do sound awesome. GLWTS

Need to move this on now to make space. Make me a SENSIBLE offer and it's yours.

These are great basses. Looks superb in teal 😍 Paddy's a great guy to deal with as well. Highly recommended. GLWTS!

Hi guys, in my search for the right vintage Tobias I ended up buying 2 so one needs to go. This one has got a history so I’ll try to represent to the best of my knowledge. Serial number 1784, which places it post Gibson buy-out but pre handout which means still built by Michael Tobias and crew. Walnut with a Wenge tone block and stringers. Original Bartolini Tobias split coil pickups. More on the preamp below…. Weight is 4.3kg as far as I could see on my kitchen scales which is great for a 6 string. This bass was acquired by previous owner as a restoration project. Didn’t have the original TCT preamp and apparently was very scratched and worn. He did a refinish (and he’s done a great job as far as I can see) and converted it to a 5 string - new nut and replacement bridge. Apparently someone along the line decided to install a 13 pin midi connector on it which I was intending to use and install a GK3B pickup - might as well turn the flaw into an advantage - just a thought if someone interested in it is also into his synth sounds. I have restored the bass to 6 string - it came with the spare parts that were removed for the conversion so bridge and nut are original. Bits needing TLC: When refinish was done, they didn't cover the slot where the nut rests so the original nut was sitting too low when I put it back on. I’ve shimmed it with a couple of veneer strips - but it’s something that can be redone professionally at some point. Bass has a couple of holes drilled for mini switches. More on that below. As mentioned, bass didn’t come with the original preamp. I have installed a reissue TCT (which in my knowledge and opinion is VERY close to the original, I have examples of both and have done a lot of A/B testing). The control cavity has been copper shielded - again not the neatest work I’ve seen so this can be professionally redone at some point too. On the photos below the wiring isn’t at as neat as it should be but that is because I did a temporary installation of the new TCT. I’ll clean that up once a potential buyer decides what do they want inside. Case it came in is old and battered - I guess it’s been toured. So I have an option to sell it with: Original vintage TCT and mid module wired to spec (managed to source that from abroad) - £3700 Reissue TCT and mid module wired to spec - £3600 John East Uni-pre (the one it came to me with) - £3700 The two TCT preamps are currently wired with a passive / active volume pots which leaves the two mini switches unused - I could rewire it with a normal volume pots and wire one of the switches to active / passive. The John East comes with 2 mini switches - I guess that’s why they drilled the holes in a first place - one is active / passive, the other one is a kill switch. I am not going to post this bass as a potential buyer needs to try it and make sure they’re happy with it, plus don’t have packaging materials and don’t want to live in anxiety for a week with all the shipping horror stories. Happy to drive anywhere in the UK for petrol costs or have it checked out at my place in Ealing, west London.
