Need to pay for new bass and have no money, therefore this is for sale. If I say it's my regular gigging bass, don't be put off -- only done a handful of gigs since I got it.

Anyway, here's a 2018 RockBass Streamer NT 5-string, made with something approximating love in the People's Republic.

The useless RB preamp has been switched out for a proper 3-band MEC job from the Warwick shop, along with the proper Warwick chrome knobs. The work was done by the legend that is Bernie Goodfellow, who also did the setup (Low E to high C). The "inlays" on the fretboard are stickers, as are the glow-in-the-dark bits. I'll take them off before sale unless you like them for some reason.

The only mark on it is a scratch in the varnish, which looks like this:

Here's the back:

The bass is in Hove and will be supplied with a RockBag (it didn't come with one, so purists can feel free to decline it!)

I'm not mad keen to post, as I haven't a spare hard case to post it in -- as you may know, it's pretty much impossible to get any courier to insure basses for the correct value, especially in a gig bag. And you'll want a cup of tea while you test it out. So pick up is hugely preferred, but if that's the only hurdle let me know and I'll see what can be done.

Sorry, I won't send it overseas.

Price is firm. Trades-wise, only thing I'm looking for is a Barefaced BB2 but cash is still very much king.

Hit me with your vexed questions.

It’s always time for this.

You may laugh, but if there's just a trace of the fab four's DNA on there, you could potentially one day create Jurassic Beatles. Or at the very least reanimate the Bovid whose skin went to create their shoes. Doesn't seem so expensive then, does it?

Second of a couple of pedals that are also up on eBay for a few quid more ...

Manufacturer's description

After listening to suggestions and request from the many artists who have enjoyed our previous octave effects, the "Tender Octaver Pro" from MOOER expands on the micro version, bringing together a whole host of cool new features and options with very easy to use controls. With these added features the "Tender Octaver Pro" becomes much more than just an octave pedal making it possible to do harmonization, pitch shifting, wammy and detune chorus effects.

Like before the dry, sub and upper voices each have their own dedicated, independent level controls. Unlike before the Sub and Upper each have their own tone and pitch controls too, giving a lot more customization options for shaping your sounds.

The Pitch controls are infinitely adjustable between unison and +1/-1 octave making it possible to create all kinds of interesting harmonies and special effects. Connecting a standard expression pedal to the "Tender Octaver Pro" expands on this and opens up the possibility of real time pitch shifting.

As if this wasn't enough we have added a smooth control for automatic ambient volume swells.

This is all put together into one of our twin series pedals with stereo outputs and 4 storable user presets which can be easily scrolled through live using the dedicated footswitch.

Features

• Separate volume, tone and pitch controls for both sub and upper octaves
• S.LEVEL：Adjusts output volume of sub octave
• S.TONE：Adjusts tonality of sub octave
• SUB：Adjusts the pitch of the sub voice. Can be set anywhere between -1 octave and unity with the dry signal
• U.LEVEL：Adjusts the output volume of the upper octave
• U.TONE：Adjusts tonality of upper octave
• UPPER：Adjusts the pitch of the upper voice. Can be set anywhere between +1 octave and unity with the dry signal
• DRY：Adjusts output volume of the dry guitar signal
• SMOOTH：control for automatic volume swells
• Store and recall up to 4 user presets
• PRESET FOOTSWITCH：Press this footswitch to change the selected preset (Left most LED is Pedal mode in which all parameter values are depicted by the pedal controls)
• STORE：Used for saving presets
• External connection for expression pedal to control octave pitches
• EXP MODE：Depicts which voices the expression pedal will effect

What it sounds like

Not my video but here's someone else using it on bass. Me, I prefer the outrageously large-footprinted Bass Whammy.

First of a couple of pedals that are also up on eBay for a few quid more ...

BOSS RC-20XL Loop Station

Loop pedal / phrase sampler, little used and never gigged. Comes with the correct power supply, original printed manual and Boss Sound Library CD. I don't have the original box but will pack well in a suitable package.

It's a versatile device with 11 slots to save loops and a built-in rhythm box. There's a 1/4in mic input as well as the standard instrument input.

Now £100 collected from Hove (BN3) or postage on top at cost.

UK buyers only, sorry. Shout if you've any questions.

Try contacting Ashdown or Celestion? I've found both helpful in the past.

Also hoping to get my crowdfunded unit one day. How are the effects themselves?

Last bump, then it goes on the tip (or possibly Gumtree)

Spendy Christmas means I am forced to up the price. This is now free again. Sorry guys …

Does anyone know if there are any tuners that are a direct drop-in replacement for the standard Warwick units. I've had 5 fail on my 2002 Infinity,  2 of which were replacement Warwick units. They're just made of really soft metal and keep stripping themselves during tuning. 

 

Ideally good quality- Schaller, Hipshot etc.

This sort of thing? https://shop.warwick.de/en/parts-for-instruments/warwick-spare-parts/machine-heads-parts/21093/warwick-parts-schaller-m4-machine-heads

they can probably advise on drop-in-ness

OK, seems I've priced this a bit high. Minus £1 anyone?

Free but collection only from Hove. It's a "Bristol by Blueridge" BD-16, which came from Hobgoblin at a vastly inflated price (£200?). Other than the severe damage to the headstock, it's in near-perfect nick.

Had it as a campfire guitar but managed to slam the headstock in a van tailgate. I'm led to believe that this apparently catastrophic damage is in fact repairable with glue and clamps.

First to turn up on my doorstep and say the magic phrase "I've come for the broken guitar" can have it for nowt.

Drop me a PM if you're at all interested, but please note I will not be beaten down on price.

Yeah, but ... Antigua!!!!

(except the pickguard)

I used to like the guy from Culture Shock who left after two albums to get a proper job. 

Bit late to this thread but as I am waiting indefinitely on the slim possibility my Mod Dwarf will ever be built, here's what I think is lacking in multi-effects generally:

* Really bloody good-sounding effects. I've used a few of these and none really does that basic thing. 

* Intuitive UI.

* Able to use any plugin format -- VST, AU, LV2, all of it. Including ones from my DAW.

* Complex routing, and outputs to allow for bi-amping.

* Unlimited effects per patch (within reason obvs)

* Octave up. That works and doesn't sound like a robot bee.

* Stretch goal: looper with three loops and MIDI sync.

* All the other stuff I'm too dim to realise I need ;-)

Sadly I have no bloody idea how to make any of it happen but I look forward to seeing what you *do* come up with.

Neither the head nor the cab have been gigged unless you count that thing at the village hall.

 How are we who weren't there to judge? Do tell!

Scratched my head over many a game of name-that-tune picture quiz with Shaun, and he sold me a Stingray too at one point (bass not fish). Sorry to hear this sad news.

Right Sad Fred, as we say oop north

I thought changing 'A-ha' to 'A hat' was good, but apparently it's been done in real life:

Have we had Extreme Nose Terror yet?

Well, I waited three years, guess I can wait another three or thirty or whatever. Not sure I feel like chucking any more money at them. Hope they do manage to get back up and running, though.
