Up for sale is a recently acquired 3leaf Octabvre mini. Exceptional octave in as-new condition having barely been used since purchase! This is a newly released pedal and is a smaller version of the Tim-Tuned 3Leaf Octabvre. Octave pedal that nails the OC-2 and Mutron Octave Divider tones, with a whole host of cool stuff in-between! Blurb:- [color=#000000][font=open-sans, sans-serif] The Octabvre Mini is a modified and miniaturized version of the Octabvre that was designed for bass player and effects guru Tim Lefebvre. It starts with the popular Tim-tuning mod from the original and takes it further with a reworked tone knob that runs the gamut from classic OC-2-inspired thump to all-out sub fuzz.[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=open-sans, sans-serif] The new tone knob blends together two independent tone circuits. With the tone knob fully counterclockwise, the Octabvre Mini is a functional equivalent of the classic Boss OC-2 Octaver. As the tone knob is turned up, a fuzzy square wave version of the octave down circuit is introduced.[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=open-sans, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=open-sans, sans-serif] Comes boxed of course, price includes shipping to UK.[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=open-sans, sans-serif] Trades? Try me [/font][/color] -
Grabbed a pedal off this rather splendid bloke. No complaints whatsoever, cheers bud!
-
It's been turned down now, the first song was insanely loud, literally couldn't hear the guitar in he chorus! Love em or hate em, they are tight as a gnats arse.
-
Anyone listening? I never thought I would say this, but the bass needs to be turned down! I can barely hear Matts guitar!

[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1466705924' post='3078085'] The only people who get picked on are those jumping into perfectly friendly threads and making inflammatory posts like you. If youve got something constructive to say and BF cabs (good or bad) then bring it, if not then take your negativity and cynicism elsewhere. [/quote] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Thank you for proving my point [/font][/color] However, if you read my post again, you will see my constructive comment. You have deleted this from your quote, for some reason!

Oh good, another one of these threads! Opinion is split, I know a few who daren't say anything negative due to the way any negativity against these cabs always gets jumped on, and somehow the attackers make it seem BF is being picked on!! I would take them up on their trial. Take it, see if it can truly keep up with a 4x10 in a live environment, crucially in tone and the balance of the output (as opposed to simply volume as this is what I see most of the complaints are about) and if it doesn't, give it back Win win really!

Dingwall After Burner 1, 5 String Fan Fret Bass Guitar.
Kev replied to Andy Holland's topic in Basses For Sale
Lovely looking bass, bargain too!!! Looks like this has an upgraded flamed maple top and is one of the older models with the fancy passive tone switch?? GLWTS Quick question though, why are we calling Gary and not Andy? -
^^^ He's trying to steal your thunder, Dad!

Fender. There are obviously loads of companies that make P Bass copies, some for reasonable costs and some beyond insane. There is no right answer to which of those is best! For the general image though, definitely can't beat a Fender logo on the headstock

Owned one for a couple of years, best practice combo going. Sounds like a proper bass amp, just at a lower volume. Useless for anything other than home practice of course, but very decent indeed. Cool thing about it is the speaker handling is far higher than the amp could ever produce, so you can boost it etc and it wont break up. You can get a lovely thick low end out of it. Its struggles with highs, if anything!

[quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1466441389' post='3075824'] I struggle to think of any track on IWY which doesn't sound like an active MM pup. [/quote] I struggle to think of any that do! Factory of Faith certainly the jazz, Raindance Maggie, Ethiopia etc all stand in my memory as being jazzy sounding too.
-
No, I was not speechless that you had bought it! I'm sure its a great bass, and certainly rare if for the wrong reasons. Enjoy it! I was speechless about how a signature series instrument built to a high and very specific spec could possibly go out wrong, be accepted by the dealer wrong, and be sold to the initial buyer wrong! But more than anything else the QC at Fender, even at instruments of this level. Crazy.

I want the rat tail....... Why they change to cat tail, Proco??
-
Crazy bargain.

[quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1466519392' post='3076447'] OK so I got a reply from Fender - they confirmed that it is indeed a factory mess up, the bass was built while the special run of crimson red ones were being made and someone has put a neck for a crimson red bass onto a black body. That makes it 'one of a kind' in my book. I'm having it. [/quote] Speechless.

[quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1466339902' post='3075041'] By The Way was all Modulus. Stadium Arcadium was the stack pot Jazz for I think every track bar a couple which had the Modulus on (possibly Stingray). I'm With You was an upgraded version of his own company Flea bass with artwork done by Damien Hirst. SD or Lane Poor MM pickup, Aguilar preamp and carbon fibre or (gasp) rosewood necks. The Getaway most likely this white MM hybrid bass. [/quote] Agree with By The Way and Stadium Arcadium. Not so sure about I'm With You, I was fairly sure that was the Jazz bass too? The bass your describe I thought was the bass he toured with. The Getaway definitely has a different tone from the previous two albums, so I guess you are probably right.

The "Viewing On Mobile" posts - Is "Full Version" not available??
Kev replied to bagsieblue's topic in General Discussion
Basschat has not been designed using RWD techniques and as such is not optimised for mobile usage, hence the mobile version being available with a design that does fit. -
Slab body and binding kills it for me, the bridge pickup/cover design is just mental and entirely unnecessary. Why that has never been redesigned, with the same aesthetics but completely removable, escapes me. The 4004 interests me much more, but I have never had chance to try one.
-
I know Fender QC is awful at the best of time, but surely a signature series bass of the price point could not simply come out of the factor looking aesthetically entirely different in error???
-
Cheers for the heads up. Doesn't look like it works very well with the iRig interfaces, or the mic for that matter, very choppy and jumpy. Nothing has come close to the Strobosoft App for me, its more accurate that most bloody tuners!
-
[quote name='Spoombung' timestamp='1463669727' post='3053258'] They're lovely. If only they made the nut width smaller and made the 4-sting pickups like the 5 string and got rid of those plastic surrounds! [/quote] Yup, two reasons why I sold my MK2. Stunning bass, that claro walnut one!
-
Do we know what bass Flea is using on the new record? I'm not much of a fan of the tone really, to be honest. Nothing will beat BSSM, but I enjoyed the Modulus tone. I don't think he has used Modulus extensively in the studio since By The Way?

[quote name='Subbeh' timestamp='1466256545' post='3074458'] I don't blame him for doing it [/quote] Why? These instruments were sold to him as Spares or Repair (equivalent), he is selling them as New Other, which whatever way you look at it is not correct. It is used, at best, as he is the second owner. Iv reported the listing posted, but doubt it will do any good.
