    The Hartke 410 - has signs of wear and tear (few dings, nothing major) but is still in good condition overall. £200

    It's an amazing piece of kit, it sounds great! Only reason i'm looking to sell is to fund something I have my eye on. (GAS!)

    Ill be happy answer any questions or provide more info

    i used this for my clean tone.. it gives a real nice boost to your sound, i didn't often use the distortion function.

    the distortion is quite versatile though, so it suits most peoples needs. when i used it, i just used a hint of it.. nothing some would class as being to much.. lol

    check out some reviews etc,

    hope this helps

    General advice for use of Dirt/distortion/OD

    in Effects

    Right to cut a long story short,

    (need help mainly with a dirty/overdrive/distortion sound?)

    I'm not a huge effects guy.

    Iv'e had the me50b, ODB3 etc.. but always found myself just using a clean sound because i cant seem the find that right gritty tone for me, in the current band i play in.. i know in places a nice bit of grit in my sound will go a far way. So on the weekend i went out and brought the Blackstar HT Distx, tonight when i got to rehearsal i couldn't stop messing around with it. I just can't seem to be happy, so like before i went back to just using my clean tone on my MXR Di+ (the mxr also has a distortion effect that i can't seem to get right)

    So i'm wondering, Is it me doing something wrong? am i not setting the things up correctly. i need advice!

    The sound im after is, nothing to OTT just a little bit of dirt to give me that "edge" when I feel the need for it, i could always double up the distx and also use the distortion on the mxr if i ever feel like going that one step further. But may i also add, i still want to be heard... when i found an OKish tone, i was getting drowned out by the guitars.. i may aswell of gone home...

    Gear im using..:

    Spector Legend 5
    Hartke LH500 - Settings (taken from tonights rehearsal: Bass - 7, Mid - 9, Treble - 4, Bright and Limiter - Both OFF)
    Hartke Hydrive 410's
    MXR DI+ - Settings (taken from tonights rehearsal: Bass - 12 o'clock, Mid - 3 o'clock, Treble - 10'oclock, Color - OFF - i used to always run this with the color function on, but tonight it sounded a little muddy)
    DISTX - Obviously don't have settings for that, i was trying everything with pretty lowish gain.. as i said, i only want a nice touch of dirt in my sound!

    I have it set up like this... ( Bass -> Boss Tu3 -> Distx -> Di+ -> LH500 )

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Many thanks,

    Alex

    Bass is in mint condition.

    Looking for something with a shorter scale length. Starting to feel like i stretching for the 1st fret, i hope im not shrinking.. im only young :(

    Things that tickle my taste buds are stingrays and jazz style bass's (fender, lakland etc) but it would have to be a 5 string.

    I can add cash to a trade but will still consider a straight up sale.

    Try me!
