Up for grabs is my immaculate hardly used MXR Bass Blowtorch Effect Pedal. This is what Jim Dunlop have to say about this evil brick: The M-181 MXR Bass Blowtorch bass overdrive pedal is made to deliver the hottest sounds this side of Hades-from a tube-like growl to full-blown distorted madness. Because the Bass Blowtorch's overdrive is focused in the midrange frequencies, you'll retain your low-end thunder and high-end sizzle while the overdriven mids cut through any mix. An active 3-band EQ with a mid shift switch provides precise signal balancing, while the Blend knob lets you balance the distortion with the direct signal for the exact tone you're after. 18-volt performance equals increased dynamic headroom, clarity, and low noise no matter the volume level, and true bypass circuitry means it's really off when you want it off, leaving your signal completely unaffected. MXR M-181 Bass Blowtorch Overdrive Distortion Pedal Features: From traditional tube-like growl to full-blown high-gain distortion 18V performance for increased dynamic headroom and clarity Low-noise performance at loud volumes Active 3-band EQ with 3-position mid shift for precise tone sculpting Distortion and direct signal blending Real-world tested by world-class touring bassists Tough die-cast housing True hardwire bypass Comes with original box (no power supply) Offers around £80 considered. Will accept paypal or postal order. Let me know if your interested Cheers Col -
[quote name='OldGit' post='70136' date='Oct 5 2007, 08:16 PM']ha ha actually some accordions are worth a packet, easily as much as a classic bass .. You should be able to buy quite a few with the proceeds, and I'm sure he'd rather you used the legacy to actually make music .. yes, of course he would What's the difference between a melodeon and an accordion? The accordion will burn for longer ... [/quote] LOL, like the punchline. Well, I'll be honest, he's already given me one to try (hes a softy really)and its a tough instrument to grasp, maximum respect to all players of the awkwardest of (wind??) instruments. Most certainly aint my thing. Hadnt thought there may be a market for them, may even be enough to buy the Triple Omega purple heart Alembic ive had my eye on!! Who knows????

Lovely story. My grandad is miserable old git and insists that he is leaving me his musical armoury. He plays the 'kin accordian!!!!!!!!!! I'll be up to my boxxocks in the things. Wanna trade Grandads? Apart from their choice of instrument they seem quite similar. I'll chuck in a set of strings for that nice MM of yours If your ever lookin for an accordian...................................

Bought in 2000. Regularly serviced, Large casters fitted, some slight surface damage from gigging. I really dont want to change as she has been the unfaltering foundation to my sound for 7 yrs. Shes been consistent through my musical peaks and troughs, but being a 4x10 she is 'kin heavy. Im looking to downsize due to health reasons (not caused by the amp, hee hee). If you fancy getting your hands on this MONSTER bass combo and have a 2x10 combo or head / cab set up to trade let me know. Im interested in. Ashdown ABM 2x10 combo or head / cab set up Ampeg B500 2x10 Mesa Boogie Buster This amp is AMAZINGLY powerful and the Sub Harmonic Generator is a truly superb addition to an already stonkin amp. If she goes a tear will be shed but I wanna keep musically active so........................ Sadly Col =(

Just a shame your fountain of knowledge is delivered with such poor attitude. Be nice man, it costs nothing to respect your fellow fatstring plucker. These sites are all about camaraderie and helping each other, might I suggest a visit to www.angermanagement.com Lesson learnt?

A rather harsh and unecessary comment there Mr Ferret. Did god die and leave you in charge? Id hang my head in shame if I were you! Your reply indicates towards a very superior view of oneself and ones knowledge. Mr Evans is a good friend of mine and a damn fine bass player, why on earth would you want to respond in the manner you chose? Unless, you have internal submodalities that indicate a negative self image and poor interpersonal skills. If I were you Id recheck my internal belief hierarchy and make some changes. just let us all ask whatever question we like in whatever manner and forum takes our fancy, its our right you know. Ah fxxk I aint got anymore time to give you. Get over it big boy

[quote name='MoJ' post='54505' date='Sep 2 2007, 11:39 PM']Mind if I ask where abouts in your sigal you put this? is in between your amp and bass or in after the amp/eq (ie effects loop)? ANdy[/quote] Hi Andy, She is the last pedal in my chain. That goes straight into the preamp. I dont use the FX loop. Cheers Col

Just bought one of these and have to say its breathed a whole new dimension into my tone. No undesirable "breathing" side effect and not only tightens the sound right up but adds a very nice only what can be described as "sub-growl". The sustain is STONKIN. Not sold as a bass specific comp but really works a treat. Its well built and takes a little time to test for your sound but well worth the outcome. Power supply a bit fiddly but not worry. Ive tried loads of comps and this one has more than won out. Check one out if you looking for a good quality compressor for your fatstrings. They aint cheap but VGVFM. Cheers Col

Hi Guys, I use one of these regularly and find the 18 v requirement is best served with 2 x 9v batteries. Ive had her a year and gig a few times a week as well as rehearse and im only on my second set of duracell. I changed them because I thought she was powering up from some supernatural source. A great sweep of sounds available, take the time to test her and she'll become you best mate. I hate power cables everwhere, shes more than fair on batteries. Just my thoughts Keep Groovin Col

[quote name='Mokl' post='53575' date='Aug 31 2007, 08:08 PM']Not quite up my street, matey, thanks for the offer though. Gad you like the bass - it's a special instrument. When you play and hear this you can understand why Wals are so in demand.[/quote] I had to ask, Cheers for the reply. If I sell the Gibson I may very well come knockin with some dosh. Ive had similar experiences with 5 strings and find a D tuner the best option for a middle ground. Have you tried one? good luck C
