Quatschmacher

I can attest to Iain’s service on here as I bought a bass from him a while ago. Quite tempted by this (though lower down on the list of finishes I like) as I’m after a 2EQ Stingray but really want to wait until my Shuker P sells.

Trades considered against the following: Cog T-16 Boss OC-2 Markbass Vintage Pre Origin Cali 76 Compact Bass Empress Bass compressor mk2 Triungulo Barbanera PastFX 101 Mu-Tron III or 3x Mu-Tron Phaser III or Baby Phase Chase Bliss Wombtone MKII Crowther Prunes & Custard

Is a lovely filter indeed and may have belonged to me at some point. Does the Mutron thing very well but with greater control over the envelope shape, nice internal FX loop for running fuzzes without sacrificing dynamics, and the envelope follower works way better for slap playing than most other filters I’ve tried.

These are great. I was toying with the idea of selling mine as I usually use my Broughton Fliptop but I had them side by side again last night and this does bring something a bit different, good heft but really clear and articulate with it. (Double stops sound great on it.)

I’d like to buy my old VBO back, please, presuming it’s still in the same condition.

My ruthless cull continues… A fantastic 4-oscillator, dual-processor, stereo synth pedal that also does envelope-controlled filter, octaver, phaser, pitch shifter, harmoniser, sequencer. I bought this new as soon as it was launched and have kept it in pristine condition. As many of you may know, I spent a lot of lockdown writing many sounds for this pedal and sharing them via the Neuro platform, which ultimately got me noticed by Source Audio and got me involved in their pedal beta-testing and development. I’m doing pretty much all of my synth-based stuff on keys now so I’m quite unlikely to use this as heavily as I did four years ago so would like to move it on to someone who will use it rather than leave it sitting in a drawer. It’s chock full of my custom patches and loaded with the latest firmware. Comes with the UK power supply and TRS cable. Price includes mainland UK delivery via Royal Mail Special Delivery.

A lovely bass and a fine example of Jon’s craftsmanship, completed February 2023. A chance to pick one up without the insanely long wait times. (This took 14 months; some folks’ builds are up to 3 years now.) It’s in pristine condition, just a bit of “finger dust”. Now you’re probably asking yourself why I’m listing this. I have 3 P basses now and the other two are the same model as each other (one with flats, one with rounds) and 41.3mm nut width. I’m finding it easier to swap between those as the widths are the same. Also, despite my wanting a narrow-nut P bass again, I’ve finally come to appreciate and enjoy the slightly wider string spacing (only taken me 30 years)! The specs are as follows: 34" scale; 20 frets; 38.5mm nut width; 19mm string spacing; 21.5mm neck depth at 1st fret; 23.5mm at 12th; shallow C carve; Mastergrade quarter-sawn, roasted flame maple neck; rosewood fretboard; Rolled fingerboard edges; 9.5" radius board; 2-way truss rod; carbon fibre reinforcement; medium jumbo stainless steel fretwire; bone nut; 2mm cream side dots; 6mm cream face dots; satin finish on the neck; Schaller BM clover leaf tuners chrome; Hipshot triple string tree chrome; traditional P shape; alder; usual contours; reduced heel with recessed fixings (no plate); polyester basecoat; Olympic White; Tort/white/black/white 4-ply pick guard (traditional P shape); ABM 3704c19 bridge; Fralin (stock wound) pickup; volume / tone knobs (domed chrome, with small, discreet dot markers); Schaller strap locks; Shuker embossed Hiscox hardcase. Currently strung with Chromes 50-105 with super-low, buzz-free action. The in-joke decal is just a transfer and so can be easily removed according to Jon. Still has the cellophane on the pick guard. Collection from Sheffield. (For this sale, I’ll only deal with members who have a verifiable history/feedback record on here - no newly signed-up members, thanks.) I could potentially hand deliver to the Bath/Bristol area (only for a completed sale). The only bass trades I’d consider are these: Fender American Professional II Precision; Fender American Standard Precision (2012-2016 ones with the CS60 pickups). As for non-bass trades, I’d be interested in a Moog Voyager or Muse. Any related questions, please ask.
