B3. I used this as a preamp straight into the power amp of my bass and was fab. Also used it as an effect pedal into front of the amp while pa guy used DI out to the desk.We were both very happy. Like you I have no qualms about TCE kit it's great but I've not used that particular pedal.

Hello Andy, welcome to another West Country low ender. Get yourself along to the Bass Bash next year, it's always good to meet up with fellow travellers.

I am following this with interest as I have long wanted to do the same thing. Never play my semi acoustic because of the hateful tilt. My envisaged solution was the same. Shape a block of wood, hold in place (somehow) pre drill body and block together, remove block, apply glue, reinsert block screw button on thereby clamping the block in place. Just the awkward access putting me off.

Plain silly statements by those who should know better.

it's a great derailment, thoroughly enjoying it. -
It's a beautiful pedal, lovely LCD lights which you can leave on, leave off or have come on when pedal is active. Beautiful finish to the casing. Solid metal body. Pleasing knobs in the way they turn easily but have a little resisitance. Sounds awesome. Tracks well. No audible POP when turned on. Modulation an interesting add on, but not for everyone I guess. Rubber feet supplied but not attached. I've been through a number of octave/pitch shifting pedals but this is the one for me. Does the job without fuss. I love my Valeton for its O2 synthy sound but wanted something clean as possible without breaking the bank. This is it.

It is with a heavy heart I continue my pedal cull. My loss could be your gain. I present to you the Bass Whammy. Stuff of legend. It shifts all sorts of pitches and changes between them with the press of a pedal. It has two chorus like settings and the famous Dive Bomb. I bought it for a project which has altered direction slightly and a straightforward octave pedal (which I've now found) does the job perfectly, so this is leaving home. A couple of minor scratches you'd have to search for and a patch of velcro residue on the back, otherwise in great nick. Don't be scared by the 1300ma rating stamped above the power input, it's nowhere near that and I've run it off a generic power supply along with a bunch of other pedals. Postage on top unless you're local, not sure how much but I'll charege at cost and it won't be more than a fiver. You want to collect I gig in Swindon and Bath fairly regularly otherwise I'm near Wells, Shepton Mallet. Glastonbury. Come on you know you want this and I know my bass tech wants paying before I get my CTM100 back 😩

Just not quite as good as an SVT, right Tone? 😉

That guy is actually one of my favourite youtubers. Never bought anything in his recommendations nor followed his method and been disappointed. My review is on hold as this suddenly happened today. Granddaughter is the only thing takes precedent over music.

Did a charity gig in Swindon. Down to play just 2 tunes ended up playing six, which was great. Love that my band has the confidence to play new material entirely unrehearsed This is our first year together and we've really gelled

This Black Friday thing is becoming sufficiently well known now, I suppose retailers could have a case for saying you choose to buy the week before then that's your perogative. It's a trap for sellers really. People could end up selling nothing the month before then get cleaned out at a discounted price.

I'll start a new thread and do a proper review but the first quick test suggests this is a Holy Grail moment.

As recommended by he who shall be obeyed, I speak of none other than @TKenrick@TKenrick this is absolutely brilliant

I sold a Markbass cab to Nuno, communication was good, arranged a mutually agreeable meeting, and he was punctual and paid the asking price. Nice meeting you Nuno hope you enjoy the cab.

Just got in from gig and it was waiting for me.

Glad its not just me. Well it makes a good case for my spare pedals.

I won't risk a rifle bag in the current climate. They may shoot first ask questions later

So I am not a gear nerd, gear head nor do I claim any useful knowledge about my kit but I do love watching the Rig Run Down series on YT. Idly listening to the ZZ Top episode and began paying attention when the bass and guitar tech was asked what the Micro Thumpinator was for. He said (and I quote) "it filters off everything below B Flat ... because we want the octave down effect on every note except B flat and lower" which use for and explanaiton of a Thumpinator i had not heard before. So thought i'd share it with y'all. Now he'd grabbed my attention the guy went on to show off his custom made wireless transmitter strap clips or holders. He uses old tobacco tins. It's genius. I've been wrestling with how to make something sturdy and dependable and not pay £13 for a neoprene pouch and here is a wonderfully elegant solution. Any road up, here you go

and I cannot afford one Well without selling some stuff first...

This was precisely my thinking. Except... the foam won't allow the lid to close (not even nearly) and the rubber feet are on the deeper part and the clasps work the other way up!
