Bass Culture

And now SOLD - thanks, Lyn.

Thanks for the link, Si. I thought I'd bought a lot earlier than when production switched to Taiwan! I don't know what happened to the box for it, I think our guitarist binned it when I lent it to him for a while, but I did have the original receipt tucked in there too.

And SOLD

ON HOLD, pending the usual. 20 minutes - something of a record for me!

About every 12 months or so I find myself seduced by the idea of owning a multi fx pedal. I convince myself such an item will be the answer to all my fx needs and also provide me with hours of fun, fun, fun. It arrives, I spend a couple of hours pratting about with it, I put it back in its box and never take it out again, having reluctantly acknowledged to myself that my fx [i]needs[/i] amount to a big, fat zero. Hence, I have this nice, spotless Zoom B1on for sale. It does a hell of a lot of really interesting things, the vast majority of which I've long since forgotten, so please forgive me if I just cut and paste this rather more comprehensive information: [color=#333333][font=Verdana,]The B1on offers 100 bass effects, including a variety of distortion, compression, modulation, delay, reverb and amp models. The B1Xon offers 5 additional pedal-controlled effects. [/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Verdana,]Up to 5 effects can be used simultaneously, chained together any way you like. In addition, there are 68 built-in rhythm accompaniment patterns, and you can connect headphones to the output jack (as well as portable music players to the auxiliary input jack) for silent practice sessions. An onboard chromatic tuner supports all standard bass tunings, and a Looper feature enables you to record up to 30 seconds of CD-quality audio. Loop length can be set either manually or to a preset number of quarter notes, and you can loop to any rhythm pattern, with automatic quantization that ensures seamless start and end times. [/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Verdana,]Programming is simple and straightforward, thanks to a streamlined user interface and the large backlit LCD screen. Advanced editing features such as Swap, Auto-Save and Pre-Select make it easy to organize your patches for live performance and allow you to scroll through patches silently while keeping the current patch operational. In addition, the B1Xon's built-in expression pedal enables you to control input level, output level, or any selected effect parameter in real time. [/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Verdana,]The B1on allows you to choose from 100 different onboard DSP effects. (The B1Xon offers 5 additional pedal-controlled effects.) [/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Verdana,]These include compressors, noise gates, filters, equalizers and octave dividers, as well as boosters, overdrives, fuzzes, phasers and flangers, plus chorus, pitch shift, tremolo, vibrato, a sub-octave generator and an intelligent bass synthesizer that plays along in key—even a DeFret effect that changes the tone of a fretted bass into that of a fretless. There are simulations of both classic and modern pedals such as the Aphex Punch Factory, MXR DynaComp, dbx 160A, BBE Sonic Maximizer, Moog MF-101 and Z. Vex Seek-Wah, as well as the Xotic EP Booster and Bass BB Preamp, Electro-Harmonix Bass Big Muff, SansAmp Bass Driver DI, MXR Bass D.I.+, Avalon Design U5, plus the ADA Flanger, tc Electronic Corona Tri-Chorus and BOSS ODB-3, DS-1 and Metal Zone. Original effects include Zoom's Noise Reduction (ZNR) algorithm, a bass frequency-specific Auto-Wah and a "talking" modulator. You'll also find more than a dozen delays and natural-sounding reverbs here, including rooms, halls, plates and an emulation of the Line6 M9 Particle Verb. [/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Verdana,]The dozen amp models include emulations of classic tube amplifiers like the Ampeg SVT, Ampeg B-15, Fender Bassman, Marshall Super Bass, Polytone Mini-Brute III and acoustic 360, as well as the contemporary sounds of the Hartke HA3500, SWR SM-900, Aguilar DB750, Gallien-Krueger 800RB, Eden WT-800 and Italian Markbass Little Mark III, each with its own distinct cabinet modeling that can be used to further alter the tonal quality. What's more, you can pair any amp model to any cabinet model for unusual, and often striking, effects.

I have for sale my Korg Pitchblack pedal tuner, boxed and is as new condition. Apparently this is the 'Limited Edition Black Chrome' version, though God alone knows why anyone would issue a limited edition of a tuner - what will they think of next, hey? Anyway...we all know these, I'm sure - variety of display modes available, built like a tank and utterly reliable. This is boxed, had very little use and in as new condition. Asking £30 which will include delivery within the UK. Payment by bank transfer or paypal gift preferred.

As part of a small pedal cull I have my sfx-modded Digitech Bad Monkey tube overdrive pedal for sale. It hasn't had much use and is in as new condition. sfx (our very own Silent Fly) make their own high quality pedals as well as offering modifications and custom orders too. The Bad Monkey is already a great and highly regarded overdrive pedal but the modification elevates to another level. I've pulled the text from the sfx website to explain what it consists of: [i]"This mid extends the frequency response of the Bad Monkey to better cover the lower notes of the Bass Guitar. Not only does it allow the tone of the bass guitar to be faithfully processed but, thanks to the high quality components used, it increases the definition and creates a more organic and tighter sound.[/i] [i]sfx: mid.control mod[/i] [i]With this mod the Bad Monkey can be switched in 3 different modes:[/i] [i]BM Mode (switch in the middle). The pedal works as the original[/i] [i]Warm mode (switch on the left). The pedal has a slightly less pronounced midrange response. It is ideal to cut some of the frequencies that clash with the guitar.[/i] [i]Deep Mode (switch on the right). The pedal has a more pronounced scooped tone that is great for very solid low tones."[/i] [url="http://s120.photobucket.com/user/Myrtle2014/media/P3280043_zps608nbekz.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s120.photobucket.com/user/Myrtle2014/media/P3280044_zpsf1onyzlu.jpg.html"][/url] So there you have it - an already great sounding pedal now voiced specifically for bass. It always sounded terrific to me but I've little knowledge of effects otherwise so I can't say how it compares to others out there. This is boxed and in as new condition, having received nowhere near as much use use as it deserved. Looking for £35, which will include delivery to the UK. Thanks (Just adjusted asking price as unmodified ones appear to go for around £20, and new ones with the modification from sfx are £72 + delivery, but can't edit the Price or Trade Value at the top of the post - sorry.)

These come up pretty rarely, I know, but I'm selling my Boss CE-2 Chorus pedal. The Japanese ones appear to go for crazy money on ebay. This is Made in Taiwan though. For those who are interested I found this informative vid on youtube which covers the difference (or lack of it): [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3En5gl8Vh9g"]https://www.youtube....h?v=3En5gl8Vh9g[/url] For people of a certain age (me!) this is pretty much the classic chorus sound, that underpinned much of the 80's chart music. This one is in very good condition for a 30 year old pedal,with a couple of slight chips on the corner. Other than that it's had only limited use over the years. I'm looking for £40, which will include delivery in the UK.

Now SOLD, thanks.

BUMP for final price drop. I've had a couple of inquiries and had agreed a sale but that's now fallen through. Really can't go any lower than this, folks, so speak now or forever hold your peace.

Sorry - quick bump for update to original post.

Okay, potential buyer appears to have gone off the radar so these are available again. Now at a REDUCED price too.

ON HOLD
