    Boss OC-2 and OC-3

    mike f replied to mike f's topic in Effects

    Towards the end of a 3 hour rehearsal it cuts out when I switch it on. The battery has been changed and this still happens. The switch becomes noisy when this occurs also. Nothing mechanically looks worn or broken, which is pretty good considering the pedal is over 10 years old.

    Boss OC-2 and OC-3

    mike f replied to mike f's topic in Effects

    Thank you Mr Foxen, I should add that I adore the OC-2, glitches and all. So an additional question would be; how quickly and where can I get my OC-2 fixed?

    Is the OC-3 basically an OC-2 with added features? Will the OC-3 allow me to produce the same sound as the OC-2? My OC-2 appears to be on its way out and I've got a gig next week, and I don't want to risk my OC-2 failing on me halway through, and so I'm thinking about getting the OC-3. Get another OC-2 or get the OC-3? What would you people recommend?

    Over 10 years ago I auditioned, in London, for a band from Richmond. I got there on time, as did the drummer and guitarist. I leant my 1973 Fender Jazz up again the bass stack which was near the door as we chatted and waited for the singer.... ...who, after a wait of about 20 minutes, pushed open the rehearsal room door dramatically with a big "Hello", marched in accidently kicking my Fender across the rehearsal room floor. That was probably the best sound we made all evening. I didn't stay with the band. Mike

    Hello basspersons, I have one of these; Thumb Bolt-on LTD 2001 Only a hundred and fifty Thumb Bolt-on LTD 2001 basses were built, making them one of the rarest and most precious of all Warwick models. This bass, already a Warwick milestone at that time, marked the beginning of a "Limited Edition" concept that would grow every year thanks to the enormous feedback, which prompted Warwick to create a tradition out of it. The contoured Thumb body is made of 3 parts: an Ovangkol bottom, a Bubinga Pommelé top, and a Maple veneer that goes in between to emphasize the coupling joint. The bolt-on Ovangkol neck has an Ebony fingerboard and little dot inlays on its edge. The pickup configuration is as follows: 2 active MEC J-Style pickups, where the bridge single coil is mounted slightly slanted, controlled by 2-band active MEC electronics. You can also pull the tone knob to make it passive. The back of the headstock is signed by the Warwick boss. A fabulous bass in fabulous condition. I've had it since new, it has been very well looked after and it comes with the Warwick certificate and truss-rod tool, strings and manual. Would any one like to make me an offer? Mike F

    Thank you Steve, People of basschat; Steve has been a gentleman throughout the transaction. A pleasure to sell to, more than happy to know that he owns one of my old basses. Good man! Mike F

    Hello Nick, Hazy days indeed! That's very nice of you to say so about my playing, cheers man. It was about 1996. I remember being in awe of one of your recorded basslines that I heard then. Bet I still can't play it! I still have that very 1973 Jazz Bass; gigged it loads since then, all over the place. Anyhoo, back to the thread (ahem). I do recall listening to Squirrel and G-Man, on me Walkman, thinking "that's how I'd like to play bass". And it is, like you said, massively underrated. It was quite an inspiration at the time. Mike

    Kuff Dam off that album is fantastic. Tart Tart too. Indeed there is brilliantly funky playing on the whole album. I was goin go to say I once played one of Paul Ryder's old basses, owned by a guy called Nick..., and there you are! Nick, remember Macfarlane Road in Shepherds Bush? You were in a band with Keith? Mike

    Hello Steve, and bass people, I've added more pictures. Again the quality on some is not what I would have liked. Mike

    I should have pointed out that I won't be after a trade for this. Sorry to have left that out and thankyou for the responses I've had so far. Mike

    Hello there Marcus, It weighs 9lbs. Pictures added now. My apologies for the lack of quality. What looks like a mark inside the lower horn is actually a reflection. The bass is of far higher quality than these pictures! Mike

    This is a wonderful bass guitar. Made in Japan, has a serial number beginning with B which I think puts it at around 1999/2000. I understand that Fender used EBS pre-amps, for a short period, before changing to cheaper Fender pre-amps. I have an e-mail from EBS I can forward which explains the layout of the controls. Basically it is always active with the toggle switch going between two tone settings. The control knobs are pick-up pan, volume, treble/mid shift and bass. The back of the neck has been refinished; the very glossy laquer has been taken back to a more satin finish. It is for sale for £525, open to offers. If you have any questions I'm more than happy to answer them. Thanks, Mike.
