    The speaker is a 12" Celestion G12-M rated at 8 ohms, I fired her up last night and was reminded how happy I was with the sound! Sparkly cleans, rich dirt, superb!

    my Vexter series ZVex box of Rock, Pristine condition, very occasional use, superb sounding distortion pedal, does a brilliant 'marshall on 11' sound but working with whatever character your amp naturally has! It has worked superbly with my Martamp 18w and also the Marshall DSL50 I had before that! More info: [url="http://www.zvex.com/vexterbor.html"]http://www.zvex.com/vexterbor.html[/url] New they sell for £145 from HotRox-uk This one in mint condition, boxed with all original bits (I'll leave the pedal board velcro on it too), £100 posted [attachment=96878:ZVEX Box of Rock.jpg]

    The circuit is based on the 50's Watkins Dominator and puts out a loud 18w of valve loveliness

    I just tried it on the bathroom scales and they tell me it's 20kg, the cabinet is v solid, all proper ply construction and is 620w x 310d x 460h (mm). Also has a cover that it's only ever been stored and moved in.

    For sale or trade... My Custom made Martamp Roadstar TT Combo... I had this beauty made in 2008/2009 with completion being March 2009, I've only had the chance to use it on literally a handful of occasions but each time it's sounded superb! It's got to go as we're downsizing stuff due to upsizing the family and having to rearrange the house :-( It doesn't do massive gain but with the right guitar/p-ups you can get up to AC/DC type sounds...it's still plenty loud enough though! The clean sound is superb, it doesn't sound like 'every other amp' but has it's own character while still sounding lush! It's made by a chappie called Martin who used to work for Matamp but now builds for himself... [url="http://www.martamp.com/amps.html"]http://www.martamp.com/amps.html[/url] Some pics on flickr: [media]http://www.flickr.com/photos/andy_dye/sets/72157628747082441/[/media] Too delicate to post so collection or meet-up or some other thing I've not thought of yet... Price, hhmmm, I paid about £750 and have hardly used it...£[s]600[/s] 550? (offers?) Still way cheaper than a generic Marshall DSL50 thingy I think... Trades - w.h.y.?

    [indent=1]I got some 'gravity picks' from the USA as organised by evilundead, I think they're [url="http://www.gravitypicks.com/product/classic-standard"]http://www.gravitypicks.com/product/classic-standard[/url] but they feel amazing and sound superb when compared to my previous Jim Dunlop Tortex habits...[/indent]

    lakland

    andydye replied to rixey's topic in Bass Guitars

    Not sure when Hanson bought Lakland but my 2011 55-01 ltd edition has barts in it and is perfect...

    [quote name='shizznit' timestamp='1325673717' post='1485832'] I have a TC-Electronics Nova pedal which I use in my guitar rig which is a lot of fun with a bass. Typically, I hardly use it as the only song I play with it is One of These Days (Pink Floyd)! Beyond that, I can't any other use for it! [/quote] Yeah, I'm thinking it's a limited application but in the right place it should sound sweet...I can always use it with my 6 string set-up too

    [quote name='1976fenderhead' timestamp='1325552543' post='1484414'] I haven't actually tried digital delays in a band setting because I don't like their sterile sound in isolation so I never bothered, but I agree that I always felt with the Memory Toy and the CC that it got a bit muddied in a band. I'd only use them in a situation where there would be very little of the other instruments, like at a song intro or quiet interlude. I just don't think delay belongs on bass other than in situations like these anyway, generally speaking... [/quote] That's exactly the scenario I'm thinking of for using a little delay!
  15. andydye
    [quote name='1976fenderhead' timestamp='1325525044' post='1483960'] I also had the Memory Toy and A-B'd it with the CC, if I remember the degradation is darker and more pronounced with the CC, but the Toy has wider range, a bit more extreme. Depends what suits you best, but they are very, very similar. I sold the Toy and kept the CC. [/quote] Thanks matey, I'll be watching for a good price on a CC then!

    My Lakland 55-01 is comfy all the way up and sounds clear on every fret

    So, the mxr is firm favourite so far but the byoc looks good too...hhmmm

    [quote name='1976fenderhead' timestamp='1325452941' post='1483350'] I had a Carbon Copy and loved it. Then I got a Line 6 M9 and A-B'd the "Analog Delay w/Mod" model in it against the Carbon Copy and couldn't hear a difference at all, even the degradation of the repetitions sounded alike. So I sold it. Now I'm back to single pedals though, and if I need a delay again I'll get the same one. Aqua Puss is bigger and I use a Pedaltrain Mini so... [/quote] Thanks for that mate! Hav you tried a byoc as above?

    [quote name='skidder652003' timestamp='1325452848' post='1483348'] Got a nice BYOC analogue for £70 if you're interested Pm me! [/quote] Oo! Are there any sound samples or vids for them anywhere pls?
  20. andydye
    Am thinking about either an mxr carbon copy or a way huge aquapuss... anyone got/used these on bass? anyone use something else I'd be mad not to consider? I'm looking at about £100 and like analog delay for its character, bucket brigade style!

    Hav had several mm basses and have always used them in the 'passive' hole, I was told that only mega Pokey active basses like alembic etc go in 'active'... This may it may not have been correct info but it has worked fine for me...

    I have pre-ordered my antacid for next year.in the form of a Lakland 55-02 so that and having completely changed my rig in 2011 has exhausted my gas issues... I do totally agree on the gig acquisition though!!! I do really want to try a Wal fretless to see what all the fuss is about though and one day I'll buy a Sadowsky UV70 too
  23. andydye
    Not sure how much a Peavey grind is but I think they're 35" and not too expensive? They're popular-ish I think...

    Jez bought a bunch of picks from me, instant payment, good banter, lovely guy! Recommended!!

    [quote name='M-N-Y' timestamp='1325250108' post='1481300'] Not wanting to cast a shadow on Lakland as I have owned a few of them, but never found the Bart MK pickups to my liking to be honest. Good shout though, they do the job for a great many people and are built to last. Cheers, Mark. [/quote] I love the feel of mine but may one day upgrade the pups to maybe some nordstrand fat stacks, the barts are doin a great job for now though...
