So, after sitting in its case mostly since I purchased on here earlier this year, I’m thinking of letting this beast go. This is a stunning unique little bass, built by Chapman for Dave Hollingworth from Toska. It’s a 4 basically designed to be drop tuned, fanned fret 35 - 32.75 (same ratio as a Dingwall, just shorter (more sensible!) scale length overall). Obviously, due to it only being 35 max, it’s fantastic in E standard too, indeed that is how it’s currently tuned! It’s very Warwick esque in its build, fancy woods and a wonderful curved body. Sounds really nice, super articulate. Full specs below. Looking to pick something up more traditional so I’m moving this on. It’s in great condition, just a nick near the bottom shown in the pics. Comes with its full hard case. £1,500 new, now discontinued, not sure how many were made in the end but they are hard to find.

Darkglass / NeuralDSP moving into hardware???? UPDATE: The Quad Cortex
Kev replied to fretmeister's topic in Effects
Yup. Although as ^^ said, Tier 2 will quickly follow I should imagine, providing the parts issues they have is resolved fully enough. -

Snap! Seeing stacks and stacks of them in the Darkglass factory on Dougs Insta earlier made me happy. So close now 😁 -
Incredible noise gate pedal, has to be heard to understand how good it is. Key input crucial for a tight gate based on a dry signal, but works as a regular gate does as well. Seems to follow the natural decay of a note, whilst still gating white noise around it. Works fantastically well under normal conditions but it really excels when you're stacking noisy dirt pedals. Other gates i have used the signal still sounds messy when the gate is lifted, but not with the Zuul. Excellent condition with box. Selling due to an impending switch to a multi effects processor. New price £249 https://www.andertons.co.uk/guitar-dept/guitar-pedals/noise-gate-pedals/fortin-amplification-zuul-blackout-noise-gate-pedal £200 now £180 shipped.

Trace Elliot Elf Insane little amp, it’s power to size ratio is just bonkers! Power: 200 watts at 4 ohms and 130 watts at 8 ohms Input Level with signal level display Ultra-high input impedance precursor especially for passive basses 3-Band EQ filters for classical trace-sound Post EQ XLR DI output Ground Lift switch Headphone output: 6.35 mm Dimensions (H x W x D): 3.4 x 17.1 x 10.4 cm Weight: 0.73 kg Incl. Trace-Elliot nylon carrying case Amp is in perfect condition, it’s hardly seen any use at all. Bought as a safety net following my switch to IEM/DI only. Comes in the box with its carry case, although the case has a seam coming away, bizarrely since it hasn’t been used! £178 shipped!

Continuing with the downsize, I am now selling my pedalboard and case. included are (with lowest prices new): Mono Tour Case 2.0 (£149) https://www.andertons.co.uk/guitar-dept/electric-guitar-accessories/cases-bags-for-electric-guitars/mono-tour-20-accessory-case-black Temple Audio Duo 24 in Gunmetal (£109) https://www.templeaudio.com/shop/product/duo-24-312 12 or 13 Medium Temple Audio Plates (~£39) https://www.templeaudio.com/shop/product/tqr-m-medium-pedal-plate-325?search=Medium For those not familiar with Temple Audio, check It out as it’s a great system. Rather than Velcro pedals to a board, you instead effectively screw them on with the plates, which are attached to the pedals. You can also add loads of modules underneath the board if you like, such as power supply adaptors, routing boxes, di etc, quite a large range. The case and board are in excellent condition, only actually saw two gigs before the live music world ended in March. The Temple Audio plates have been fitted with Velcro and I have been attaching them to pedals with Velcro, which has worked well. However, if you want to use the adhesive pads on them then DV247 sell them I believe. £300 odd worth of pedalboard all in, but I’ll let this go for £150, plus a few quid for shipping. I’m not splitting really for the moment, as I’d need more if selling things individually. (Pedals not included!)

Absolutely, I really enjoyed being able to wire wool out grime and small dings and reapply the hot wax, with no damage to the finish 🙂

What Mr Hunt said Most of these repairs are structurely sound (I've had two with the crack and both were fine throughout my ownership) but they can look at bit ropey. Last one wasn't so bad as it was under a white gloss finish, so you could feel but not see!

Darkglass / NeuralDSP moving into hardware???? UPDATE: The Quad Cortex
Kev replied to fretmeister's topic in Effects
I guess Neural have literally given people nothing to talk about so far since the initial announcement. Videos are promised in the coming weeks demonstrating the Neural Capture, so I'd expect things to pick up then. -

Depends where you look I guess, lots of talk in the Neural groups on the gear page. -

Sadly, bands are already saying they will play for free. A post on a midlands music group on FB got torn apart last week because a band proudly announced they were going to play for free for the foreseeable to support venues (raise their profile). The more bands that make such announcements, the more venues are going to expect bands bending over to perform. It’s so wrong. it’s a pandemic. For my function band to get back on the circuit, our fee will increase due to the risk, as opposed to decrease! Bands are doing favours by playing in the first place, not the other way around.

Finally gave in and going to an all-in-one digital solution so my guitarists can control me via Midi! These are the best pedals I've had for the job, all are being sold only in the interest of being a typical modern prog metal bassist! Selling in stages, here is Part 1. Shipping should be £5 or so. New prices are current prices from Andertons. Source Audio Nemesis Delay PHENOMENAL delay pedal! You need to check out the Source Audio website to see what this thing can do, but its crazy. It does all the usual digital/analog/tape/reverse etc delays, but also it adds all kinds of modulation effects to the signal, include octaver, envelope filter, phaser/flanger sounds and much more. The Helix mode is particularly bonkers. I will leave a few of my presets on there as well! Perfection condition, in original box with candy and power supply. New Price: £259 My Price: £200 Darkglass Alpha Omega Ultra The Jon Stockman (collaboration) preamp. Incredible and versatile distortion, quite different character from the stereotypical "metal" tone of a Darkglass B*K pedal and the like, with two distortions with different characteristics on the Alpha and Omega side. Amazing as a clean preamp too, very useful quiet EQ and comes with a headphone out jack. Last but not least, it has an IR Cab Sim loaded DI, configurable via the Darkglass Suite on PC/mac. Invaluable for live and studio use when micing a cab isn't practical. Perfect condition with velcro on bottom, in original box with candy. New Price: £369 (V1) My Price: £SOLD Boss TU-3 Tuner You know what it is. Industry standard tuner, AB'd against the TC Polytune it replaced and it appeared to tune quicker and was more stable. Great rock solid pedal. In very good condition, velcro on bottom with just a couple of marks shown in the photo, in box with candy. New Price: £65 My Price: £40 ON HOLD Thanks for looking!

If you're physically unable to rehearse at home (drummer with no electric kit I guess), then I'd agree. But otherwise, rehearsing alone is more than enough to keep your chops up, honing them in with the full band when a gig is actually on the horizon.
