Price drop - £170 posted -
And for your viewing pleasure - enjoy the wobbly chorus at the end (if you get that far). And yes, I'm reading this, so excuse the flaws. -
Yep, I've seen that a few times. It's an odd one, but glad to have it sorted here. Lovely low action since the repair and no issues at all.

Hi folks - up for sale is an Ashdown Amp - the little amp that could. Fine amps, awesome on a pedalboard. But I have six amps and even I think that's ridiculous, so last in first out. Bought here 2-3 months ago, not gigged since I got it so up for what I paid - £160 including UK postage.-

Hi Folks - up for sale is a Maruszczyk Elwood L 6P bass. Original owner, I had the bass made in June 2017. Here's the specs: 24 fret - flame maple neck with a bound ebony fingerboard, 34 inch scale Passive Volume/Blend/Tone controls, Sadowsky-style knobs Olympic White on alder body Hipshot A bridge - 19mm adjustable spacing Hipshot Ultralite Y-tuners Delano JSBC-HE pickups Weight is 4.3kg Deluxe gigbag included. The bass is in excellent condition, with a few minor nicks on the headstock. The neck originally had a rosewood fingerboard when it was made, but the truss rod was made of cheese and snapped in early 2021. I had the fingerboard replaced with ebony and had carbon fibre rods added at the time. Work was done by Balazs Prohaszka at the Avalon Guitar company in N.Ireland. Here's some of his own work: https://prohaszkaguitars.com/ The same bass spec'd today from Maruszczyk is €2620, working out at £2275. I'm selling this for £1350 including shipping within the UK. Insured shipping at your cost. Bass comes with a semi-rigid deluxe gigbag and will be very well packed. And now the pics:

For perfectly clean, and having a good compressor and effects loop, the Fishman is great. But if I had to choose one between the Fishman and the SH1, I’d go with the SH1 as it works great for both electric and upright.
-
I can’t - after the sound I heard through the amp, and out front (my son was playing while I listened) - I don’t think I’ve any need to replace the Fishman. The Tech21 SH1 - with blend set fully clean - is a great double bass preamp.
-
Honestly - the Tech21 SH1 is turning out to be the best all round pedal preamp I’ve come across. Recently did a gig using it on double bass - blended out the Sansamp circuit and had a great 4 band eq plus tuner all in one. For electric bass it’s a no brainer. I can’t see myself replacing my Fishman Platinum Pro for double bass as the SH1 just does everything righteously.

PM’d.

Which cardboard is best for metal though? -
I have a Fishman Platinum Pro-EQ, and it is a glorious all-in-one (minus overdrive-abilitly) pedal. Works especially well for double bass, with the hpf. Also equally awesome for clean bass tones. EQ points are great, sweepable mid, compressor is great - boost function is great for balancing slap/pick sounds with fingers. My one problem is that my particular unit has developed an annoying intermittent fault where the power glitches on and off momentarily if the wind changes. It’s become too temperamental to take out on a gig alas.
