  1. "an extra knob for each control..." Ummm what? So a course and fine control? Great sounding pedal but that's one of the stupidest bits of copy I've ever read. Still, it sounds awesome and that's all that matters at the end of the day
  2. That is everything I hoped it would be and then some. It is utterly joyful and bonkers. Thank you again for taking the time to post the pics.
  3. Jimminy Christmas, that is spectacular. In a sea of boutique, expensive dullness it's great to see something fun and special. I really hope you bond with this and make it a permanent part of your setup, because it is a wonderful slab of madness, thank you for sharing it with us. Would it be too rude to ask to see what's happening inside? I'd love to know what's happening behind the curtain. If that's too explicit a request, I apologise
  4. For those on here with a BSII I just wanted to give a positive recommendation for these overlay stickers to update the front panel to firmware 4.14 specs- https://ctrlv.bigcartel.com/product/bs2-overlay-sticker-afx-mode They're great quality, help you remember all those new crazy functions and maintain the look of the synth. Here's my unit as an example- No affiliation with the dude, but it's a really nice quality item and worth getting while available imo. I still don't have a gosh darn clue how to get the afx mode to work, but at least now I know which buttons to press to do it... PSA over
  5. Pretty sure it's the same bass, if not they have very similar s/n with the middle numbers "54" being visible on both, and the exact same wear above the pups. It's a really beautiful instrument either way, so sad that they're not being made anymore.
  6. There are some beautiful basses in this thread, thanks everyone for sharing. I've lightly modded my Harley Benton PB-Shorty. Electronics not finished but it'll have a built in Big Muff because why not.
  7. Interesting, looks like a more affordable variant of the BOSS/ JHS angry Charlie. Very cool
  8. I was looking at this, for me it came down to series/parallel switch of the switchblade pro Vs the third loop of the TPM, which I think edges it out. That's probably all the endorsement I need, I can live with a desk full of cables for a bit while I find out what I like, and the TPM looks to be plenty flexible. Thanks to all, maybe I'll update with a few fun examples of the pedal in use when I sink my teeth into it
  9. I'm looking to get a pedal to allow me to experiment with parallel mixing, and I was wondering if anyone has any words of advice. Considering cost, functionality and availability the EHX looks a no brainer, especially considering this is for an experiment and unlikely to be squished into a pedalboard any time soon. Before I pull the trigger I'm curious to hear anyone's experience with the ehx, boss ls-2, VFE Klein bottle or any of the wounded paw offerings. Hopefully this isn't a completely redundant question, I searched the site but couldn't find much written about the tri-parallel mixer... Thanks in advance
  10. Now sold, thanks Seems like the first question for any octave pedal is "does it do the OC2 thing?". I can, with full confidence, state that this 100% nails the OC2 sound Bought on only a couple of weeks ago because I seem to be trapped in a cycle of romanticising analogue octavers, buying one, then realising I play far too many droning chords for it to actually be any use to me. Pedal is in really very decent condition, one ugly scratch by the output jack which I've shown in the photos. Previous velcro was removed by me, and somehow I kept the label and serial number in tact. I realise now that I stupidly didn't take a photo of the underside of the pedal and I'm now commuting to work, so that pic will be added tonight if it's a deal-breaker for you. The little O-ring around the battery compartment screw is as knackered as you'd expect from a 25+ year old boss pedal. Asking £80 shipped as that's what I paid for it and I think it's a bit of a bargain. No box but will be well packed. Any questions just ask.
  11. Would be really appreciated if you can check your PMs, been trying to get your payment details for a few days now.
  12. Are these the ones that require a deeper routing than standard? Always been curious about them
  13. Really hope this kind of thread isn't the future of this forum. Would be good to keep the YouTube marketing crew from trying to monetise the concept of sharing info and open discussion, this is real garbage.
  14. Brand new never fitted. Never taken out of the packaging. 45 quid posted for both seems a bargain.
  15. Asking price is 325 posted, plus any PayPal fees. I know for a fact that I will regret selling this, but I want to invest in something synthy and I'm really trying to commit to a policy of one-in, one-out with music stuff. No introduction needed really, this is the best sounding gear I ever had. However, I'm making more electronic music than stringed instrument playing. Condition is pretty much mint. I'm the original owner and it's probably not seen more than 25 hours use. The stomp switches have never been stomped as it's been sat on my desk the whole time. It did briefly have 3M dual lock on the bottom, but that came off no probs. It does mean it doesn't have little rubber feet at the moment though, so I'll include some foam rubber 3M pads which are suitable. I have taken a close up of the closest thing I could find to cosmetic damage which is a ~1mm nick to the paint on the bottom edge which I'm 99% sure was there when I got it. The screen protector is still in place (though I cut off the edge with the tab on it because it annoyed me) so the screen will be mint for the next owner. Will be updated to latest 3.01 firmware and all presets reset before shipping to new owner. Comes with original box and power supply. Annoyingly I cannot find the manual or the cardboard sleeve for the box. I know they're somewhere but I haven't seen them since moving house. If it turns out to be a deal-breaker I'll renew the search later this week. Due to the cost of this I am not looking to sell to any brand new members with no feedback. No disrespect intended to anyone, but I am cautious about such things. Obviously in this post brexit world shipping internationally is pretty pointless. If I've missed anything or if you have any questions please ask. Kind regards Frank
  16. I have two brand new, untouched Retrovibe 32" bass necks with blackwood fretboards, bought for an unrealised project. "What is blackwood?" I hear you ask. No idea. It's sort of a... blackish... wood. Looks pretty cool though. Check the Retrovibe site if you're curious - https://retrovibe.co.uk/product/retrovibe-bass-neck-32-medium-scale-20-fret-maple-blackwood/ These are out of stock on the Retrovibe website and usually £65 + £10 delivery. I'm asking £50 each with free delivery which is a bargain, but I want to buy a synth. Will be sent in original packaging. Photos added as requested. Lighting doesn't do the fretboard justice, they look quite chocolatey irl. But I'm a horrible photographer with a very average camera. Final pic shows a slight streak in the grain which I was thought someone might mistake for a crack in the wider shot. Just wanted to make clear that both necks are solid as can be.
  17. Buy anything overdrivey/ distortiony you see in the for sale section for £40-£60, try it for a few weeks, flip it, keep going. You'll need to try a few things to get an idea of what you want. You'll only lose a few quid postage each time you roll the dice. Demo vids and other people's advice are nothing compared to giving stuff a bash with your equipment/ style/ technique/ ears. Personally I love any generic tubescreamer style effect on bass, but it's not a very popular choice in general for bassists.
  18. I was just about to add an extra "pro" to the HX as an edit, and that is that you can access every effect, every parameter, every option without hooking it up via bluetooth to a tablet, phone or computer. The PC editor is nice to use, but if you just have the unit in front of you you aren't being limited. Honestly that's why I would never want the Plethora or any of the new Source Audio pedals. The idea of not being able to use my gear to it's full capabilities without extra (quite expensive) toys really bugs me.
  19. I recorded and gigged with a Zoom B3 for a few years, and about a year and a half ago upgraded to an HX Stomp. B3 Pros * Dead simple to use with the pseudo individual pedal layout * Cheap as chips * Seemingly indestructible * In a band mix it's hard to pretend that anyone listening would be able to tell the difference between a DI'd B3 and a rig costing ten times as much B3 Cons * Ummm... I guess a few things sound a touch "lifeless" when playing through headphones at home? Still, if you can't enjoy the sound of a B3 then I can't relate HX Pros * Sounds better than I have any right to * Parallel routing options are a lovely bonus * If you ever play one of those awful squeeky six string basses in the wrong octave it's still amazing * For me it replaced every bit of sound processing gear I have except my WMD bitcrusher * So tiny it is crazy HX Cons * Expensive * A touch fiddly to use until you get used to it * Though it's not happened, I worry that those multi-function encoders could be killed in action one day, and impossible to fix for a reasonable price. To conclude, if you have the money I would highly recommend the HX. I love it to pieces and it's killed my GAS totally for 18+ months. If you don't have the money, buy a used B3 or another modern Zoom product and get to playing. They're more than good enough for anyone.
  20. Afraid I'll not be packing this up and sorting a courier, so first to PM me to arrange local collection gets it. Totally understand that's unlikely given the new lockdown but I thought I'd offer it up. I'll hang onto it until after the weekend
  21. It's pretty flat heeled, no idea other than it's meant to fit a flying V kit which is being built up as far from the intended spec as you could imagine
