[b]Aphex 1404 Punch Factory Optical Compressor[/b] Two knob optical compressor. Works really well with bass, but I understand it works equally as well with guitar. Nothing much more to say other than its very natural and transparent. Includes a studio quality DI out on XLR with ground lift and dry/wet switch and active/passive switch. Blurb from the Aphex website says: [i]“The 1404 gives clean, transparent compression for all instruments, from subtle to extreme amounts of compression without altering your tone or breaking up. Punch through the mix, live or studio, with enhanced tone and total dynamic control.”[/i] Available on the web for £90, sadly no original packaging with this one so yours for £40+pp. Note: Original rubber feet have been removed and Velcro added. Replacement self-adhesive rubber feet are available from Maplins for £1.50 for four. Is also advertised locally and will be on eBay early next week if no interest either here or there before then.

[b]Akai Unibass UB1[/b] No longer in production and highly sought after, this bass distortion pedal includes a built-in octaver with octave up. In addition to the higher octave you can also add a lower 4th or upper 5th to the wet signal and you can run the wet distorted octave signal through a separate out with or without the upper 5th / lower 4th, whilst running your clean or dry bass signal through its own output. Blurb from the original Akai website: [i]“You know the feeling - you play in a traditional guitar, bass and drums 3-piece but when the guitarist takes a solo, your band sounds empty. Enter the UB1 UNIBASS. The UB1 allows you to add an octave above whatever you play on your bass to keep the rhythm sound full while your guitarist wails away on lead. You can also add a 5th above (or a 4th below) the octave to retain the feel of guitar 'chords' underpinning your guitarist's deft pyrotechnics. Furthermore, you can add distortion to the harmony to complete the illusion.” Operation is simple. Set the controls as necessary and, at the appropriate moment, engage - your bass will not only drive your band along but it will also generate unison and/or chordal guitar accompaniment filling the hole left by your guitarist's solo. [list] [*]Add an octave above what you play so you can simulate the sound of bass and guitar playing in octaves [*]Add a 5th above or a 4th below the octave sound [*]Powerful distortion for the sound of an overdriven guitar [*]Seperate outputs allow you to route direct bass signal to a bass amp and effect signal to a guitar amp [/list][/i] Comes with original packaging. No longer available, highly sought after, yours for £150 + PP. Note: Original rubber feet have been removed and Velcro added. Replacement self-adhesive rubber feet are available from Maplins for £1.50 for four. Is also advertised locally and will be on eBay early next week if no interest either here or there before then.

[b]1Spot Combo Pack[/b] 9V power supply with multi-snake connector with 8 standard pedal outlets. Also comes with additional: [list] [*]2 x 9V battery clip style converters; [*]2 x 3.5mm Electro-harmonix style converters; [*]1 x Line 6 style converter. Still in original packaging, Available on the web for £35, yours for £15+PP. [/list] Is also advertised locally and will be on eBay early next week if no interest either here or there before then.

[quote name='NJE' post='583497' date='Aug 28 2009, 01:04 PM']Hello I am no longer playing in my band and am thinking its a waste having this laying around not being used a lot. I have been playing my new Jap Jazz reissue a hell of a lot and have another 5 string Jazz bass for backup so I am thinking about letting it go. Its a superb bass and many say one of the best passive 5 string basses out there. As you probably know the tonal flexibility is amazing and has so many options for a passive bass. The B is awesome unlike a lot of fenders and the fact I used to tune to B flat and still sound clear is a good indication of the quality. Its in mint condition and I still have the tags etc but not the original case (always kept in a hiscox and would sell with it) I am in no great rush to get rid of this and just wanted to see if there was some interest in it really. I have seen these go for a huge range of prices over the last year or so as I was going to buy a second one. I have seen them go for anything from £600 - £935 in poorer condition than mine. I have no idea what to ask on price, I got this in a trade, so please if you are interested make me an offer via PM I may also be interested in trades for Warwick Streamers (5 strings) MTD 535 (not much chance but worth a try) or Sei Flamboyant or Overwater (not a jazz) Basically something 5 string maybe with 35" scale and active to have a change from jazzes. I dont have access to a camera until monday but maybe Mr_Russ wont mind me linking to his old post for now, as it was once his: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=20252&hl=roscoe+beck"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...;hl=roscoe+beck[/url] Many Thanks Nathan[/quote] Lovely basses and quite sought after, especially the five strings. Quite like the look of them myself but those six string pickups Fender opted for put me off. First time I've seen pickups with the pole pieces between the strings

John, Two pieces of advice; 1) Don't plug it in before eBay'ing it, its a tone monster and will probably leave you wanting more; 2) Take a big lad with you when you go to pick it up. There's none of your light weight neodyminium going on here

Stu, I'm sitting typing this with my Overwater J sitting on my lap and believe me, I'd be feeling exactly the same way if I was in your position. PM me a price for the fretless mate, I might be able to muster the cash if the price is right.

Oops I've read down a bit further now, and yes, I cant afford it. I hope your back soon mate, after all, Mr Bucket will be off snowboarding again before you know it and the peppers will need you!
