Why don't we just club together buy one and pass it on each month? After all we usually end up trading or selling everything with each other eventually 🤓

Hi, I've never really known what midi is. Never needed to really. Can someone explain it in the context of this device?

@stevie Not sure if it's perfect but I think it's pretty close. If I revise it I'll let you know https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XqCLPbExOmZPepVca8bRTQVDMjEf0NmV/view?usp=sharing and here is an mp3 of the bass line played at half speed on what sounds a bit like a cello! https://drive.google.com/file/d/12YMiU_nkQzbzFnJqrBfx9i9chpya3WVZ/view?usp=sharing

I think it looks amazing in green. I was thinking of Trace Elliot green. Maybe even carpet. I like carpet on a cab.

Oh wow, well enjoy. Just as well sell the TV and let the family know you're busy until May. Possibly June.

Whatcha get Bluey?

This is truth

I think it ebbs and flows. Sometimes folk are after something specific, sometimes there's a flurry of bargains. I suppose there is lots of competition from Facebook Marketplace these days although that probably hits Ebay more than BC. Also some folk go on extended buying sprees and end up with 20 distortion pedals *cough* then the day comes when they realise that actually one is enough and suddenly the market floods.

Man I am failing at life today. Twice I've posted on separate threads and twice not read the whole thing. I see now we are talking analogue not digital. Sorry everyone, move along, nothing to see here. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Zoom MS-60B has a pitch shift which does super work in the octave department. Before you tut, shake your head and dismiss it for being too cheap to be worth considering, just hang on. You might not care for my opinion but how about the legend that is @Dood? Scroll to 13.46 and hear what he has to say.

Ah crap, failed to read the whole thread, I see you're sorted. The Zoom pedals are more than good enough to gig with btw

Zoom B3. It's a splendid piece of kit with looper, drum rhythms, multiple effects, Di out, easy to use, also functions as an interface/soundcard for your pc. I don't know if there is anything music related sold anywhere which represents better value for money.

Parking dubious at my last gig so went with a one lift sack truck set up. Old faithful Behringer on top of a BF 15. Zoom B1on sitting on the amp set for HPF, compression and a little dirt - battery powered always on. Stealth Bass, a couple of cables,and a handy little Ammoon clamp on guitar holder which saves carrying a stand.

Wow! What a give away! Would have been worth a very long drive.

No less cryptic

Facebook. Just round the corner from where a bandmate lives too, so ... in fact I bought the overdrive she was selling too even though I have a few more than I need.

Right, so they've arrived and I've had a little play. Here are some sound samples I did for my own reference. Thought I'd share, because, well it's what we do isn't it? All follow the same pattern; 1) no compression, 2) Joyo Dyna, 3) Caline Pressure Point. Recorded via DI through my ABM500 with flat eq. Not like for like - can't see how it could be just getting a flavour of each pedal. It's live and how they affect the bass in the mix that really matters, but this was a bit of fun.

How you getting on with yours Stubby?

Not if, like me, you opted out of Christmas. I did this two years ago , not in a miserable Scroogy way just no presents in, none out, and it's been a massive relief. I now look forward to the time of year as never before. Still take mum to the carols, pop in and see my daughters on the day because they have asked me to, am delighted for those who celebrate it but I have none of the money side of it, none. It's been wonderful.

Everything I hear and read about Ashdown convinces me more that I was right to join the club. As much as anything the sound of their gear - it's just great. If I wasn't insane and convinced that I also need so many other amps I would use their stuff exclusively. For what it's worth my ABM grind control just makes it sound like a valve amp. Not overkill distorted, just lovely.

All very cryptic. What does January bring I wonder 🤔

Also you may end up buying more than one. Not just because Basschat does that to a person, but because they have different characters. Don't be put off if the first one doesn't do it for you. I started with the POG, widely regarded as a great pedal, and I love EHX pedals, but it wasn't what I was looking for. I went through other great stuff until finding a little Valeton octaver produced the sound I wanted. Also the pitch shift on the Zoom multistomp does a fantastic octave down while the digitech ricochet produces a lovely high octave. Dive in and have fun.

Been looking into all manner of pedal based compression options for a while. Lots of good stuff out there but I'm on a tight budget right now so that weighed on my choices. Whittled it down from real world experience shared by people I trust to two. Sold some stuff to raise the funds and began my sniper like existence overlooking the second hand market. Then the Joyo Dyna comes up at a great price and boom its mine. It hasn't even arrived and bam! the Caline appears for an unmissable price . So if course now I have to have both. Ah well, chance to choose a favourite and move the other one on.

I was only teasing! While I don't like the song I'll play anything I'm paid to. And the outro is great.

Yeah that's the way to go then. I do learn from books but without the pressure of a lesson I tend to let things drift.
