  1. VFB-2 - [b]ON HOLD[/b], pending etc. Just two more left: the Tremolessence and... EBS MultiComp - which I thought would be the first to go!
  2. [quote name='JonnyM' post='593054' date='Sep 8 2009, 04:59 PM']W&C Pickle Pie ON HOLD[/quote] And [b]SOLD![/b]
  3. I've just recently done something I never thought I'd do: jack in my pedal board for a multi, the Zoom B9.1ut, a unit that for once has the hallmarks of having a bass player involved in the design Once I'd started making my own presets - some of the factory presets are comedy - it started to sound great and I'm now convinced that I've made the right move! It's dead easy to programme and the sounds are rich and fat. Features include clean blend and ability to eq each effect with an independant eq - hooray. The front end had a crap Chinese valve that I've replaced with a Mullard - nice. Thoroughly recommended and a million miles away from the hideous tone-sucking multi I owned years ago... o
  4. W&C Pickle Pie ON HOLD
  5. Hyperpak sold, pending etc.
  6. Pm replied to!
  7. Sansamp, Octabass & EHX SMMH all [b]SOLD[/b] pending usual
  8. Sansamp added!
  9. Pm's replied to -thanks! George L's all SOLD.
  10. Here are some fantastic pedals for your delectation. All are in perfect working order and have been attached to my pedalboard, so have velcro underneath (Except the Sansamp, which is also nicely "reliced" ) . Definitely have the box for the MultiComp, might be able to find box for the Tremolessence - will have a dig around but can't promise anything [u]All prices include UK postage[/u] - Paypal, Bank Transfer or cheque will do nicely. No trades either, thanks! [b]Dr Scientist The Tremolessence - fantastic TB trem! = £80. [/b] EBS MultiComp = £95, inc. manual & box. [b]SOLD[/b] Mint condition, latest uprated version: 3 dB higher headroom, new analogue circuitry with higher dynamics and lower noise, mechanical True Bypass switching. Barge Concepts VFB-2 feedback/bypass looper = £60. [b]SOLD[/b] Wren & Cuff Pickle Pie w/mid flat switch & custom speckles = £75. [b]SOLD[/b] Pi/Red Llama type fuzz, works well with active or passive basses - no need for impedance buffering. EHX Stereo Memory Man With Hazarai (modded) = £115, inc. manual. [b]SOLD[/b] No box or psu, but will run off yer regular 9volt psu @ 200 milliamps. Has had an extra feature professionally added, which will allow you to continually loop and overdub using the delay time to set the length of the loop. This is the same as the way the old DOD and Digitech loopers worked in the 80's - of course if you don't need to use this feature, the added switch on the side turns the mod off. EBS Octabass (grey) = £60 - dead simple, monster organic analogue octave down, has excellent buffered bypass. [b]SOLD[/b] Well-used-but-working-perfectly Sansamp BDDI = £75. [b]SOLD[/b] 7 x George L's .155 effects patch cables, (that's 14 plugs & various cable lengths ), £35 the lot. [b]SOLD[/b] (Might have extraordinarily good [sfx] modded Catalinbread Hyperpak for sale, but our guitard has nabbed it & I might not be able to get it back! PM me if interested [b]SOLD![/b]).
  11. After some quick research, it seems the Mullard ECC82 is the one to get, so when I'm back from hols & got to grips with the Zoom, I'll give one a try...(I think the 12AX7 is a different valve, ie different specs.).
  12. [quote name='WHUFC BASS' post='565910' date='Aug 11 2009, 02:10 PM']Word of advice mate, if you want to make it sound even better, change the valve out to a high quality Mullard or something like that. I've heard reports from guitarists that doing this makes it sound a whole lot better. I've got a Zoon G2 and its great for recording guitar parts. Zoom do good multi-FX units.[/quote] That's a great idea - any specific valve in mind and also, where would I get one?
  13. [quote name='cheddatom' post='561904' date='Aug 6 2009, 12:28 PM']Cool, I really want one of these. An in depth review in the reviews section would be most appreciated![/quote] Will do one when I get back from hols! And in my crystal ball I see... a stomp box sale in the near future
  14. Many thanks to project_c for dropping this round to my gaff last night. What a piece of kit! Got to bed very late Found myself laughing out loud at the pedal, which can move vertically to change one parameter & horizontally to change another - this will actually be very useful! Yes, everyone should have a "Tube Accelerator", which is what Zoom call the valve - strange people - but it does make a big beefy tonal contribution... So far it's way better than I'd hoped... Hours of fun ahead, then... gig time
  15. You have a PM!
  16. [quote name='thisnameistaken' post='526475' date='Jun 28 2009, 03:28 AM'] It might be worth having for intonation adjustments, although I've got a Boss TU12 that I use for setups which is pretty cheap and it's always been perfectly good. I use a Planet Waves pedal tuner on stage because it's very visible and does the job, I don't think you need especially high accuracy on stage.[/quote] I'm guessing you've accumulated these over time, but I've only got a tiny crap - ie temperamental - tuner and as I said, am looking to get a good one for my board, so for a few extra quid I could get a really good one that'll cover everything. My only worry is that our guitard will want to borrow it for set-ups...
  17. [quote name='odub' post='526213' date='Jun 27 2009, 07:34 PM']I have one, very quick very well built, after customs was too much money, can't turn on without muting which is a shame because I got it to help with fretless pitching, have you use my tuner out function. Can't power other pedals like the korg can. It's pretty cool though I'm glad I got it[/quote] Hmmm, doesn't sound [i]perfect[/i] for you though so if you ever want to sell...
  18. [quote name='BottomEndian' post='525965' date='Jun 27 2009, 02:26 PM']If you get it [url="http://www.turbo-tuner.com/"]direct from Sonic Research in the US[/url], it's only US$153.99 including shipping, which works out just under £95. Even if you get stung by customs, it's still not going to be more than about £120. Not a huge saving on the £135 option, but it all counts.[/quote] Ta fer that - guess the £ is improving so this could be an option...
  19. [quote name='rslaing' post='525784' date='Jun 27 2009, 10:39 AM']This will be interesting.........after the war that broke out in the [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=49834&hl=best+tuner"]thread about tuners[/url][/quote] Oops, I fear I've re-opened a can o' worms... and in the wrong category too! Mods please move to Misc Accessories, I was thinking "stompboxes...something extra on my pedalboard..." when I posted. Thanks for that link rslaing, will wade through it later
  20. Anyone own or tried a Sonic Research Turbo Tuner? (The ST-200 stomp box version). Talkb***-ers seem to rave about them Is it worth the extra £££ (approx £80 more than a Korg Pitchblack!) [url="http://www.theguitarstoreonline.co.uk/stockfx.html"]ST 200 (about 2/3rds down the page!)[/url] Have used a true strobe tuner in a studio recently and it was very fast & accurate...quite nice to have one on my board, but at that price, I could get a Pitchblack and a bunch of other stuff... Any opinions?
  21. So, have had a reply from Barge: "Adding the vari-Z circuit is not an in-the-field modification. Just adding the impedance circuit is a fairly complicated procedure., modifying the stock feedback option to manipulate impedance is even more complicated - traces would need to be cut from the board, a significant amount of off-board wiring would need to be added to use the stock pot to control the vari-Z circuit, plus adding the additional components needed to make vari-Z possible, etc. Having us mod your current unit is possible, but not necessarily cost-effective - modding a unit after the fact usually ends up being more labor than building a new custom unit from scratch. Our recommendation would be to either add a GLZ to your current signal path (which would have the added benefits of being footswitchable, as well as having gain and level controls, options that wouldn't be feasible when modding your stock unit); or to replace your VFB with a VB-jr and GLZ or a custom built DVB with the vari-Z option." But having chatted with another forum member - which I should have done in the 1st place, DOH! - I now know that the Hyperpak & Pickle Pie don't really mind what impedance they are given, so that solves that then!
  22. [quote name='beerdragon' post='518062' date='Jun 19 2009, 06:10 AM']Three ladies who are suppose to have a line up of two basses and a drummer, although i can only see one in this vid. [url="http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=46667579"]http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...ideoid=46667579[/url][/quote] I've seen them live and they do have 2 bass players - they just don't play at the same time! The band do the "all change instruments thing" during their set and sound...exactly the same! They're getting a ton of press at the moment and live are - IMHO of course - jaw-droppingly awful Now, if they DID have 2 bass players playing at the same time, they'd be... no, they'd still be terrible... So yeah, not really a big fan
  23. [quote name='umph' post='518523' date='Jun 19 2009, 04:09 PM']the pickle pie would see the same impedence if the hyperpak was off[/quote] Ah-ha... the only problem is that directly after the Pickle Pie in the loop is the SMMH, which I believe needs a low impedance signal... Thanks for that link dannybuoy - interesting...
  24. [quote name='umph' post='518491' date='Jun 19 2009, 03:39 PM']ever consider making a little impedence box?[/quote] Not until now! But wouldn't I need 2: one for the Hyperpak and one for the Pickle Pie? Sorry, am not sure how impedance works in a pedalboard, but if the impedance box was before the HyperPak in the loop, but the Hyperpak was off, would the Pickle Pie "see" a high impedance, or does going through a pedal knock the impedance back to low again?
  25. Thanks for all the replies! Yes, Higgie's custom Barge would indeed work, but it's too big for my board (see pic) and I think kinda overcomplicated for my needs - unless I can be convinced otherwise - what the heck would I do with all those knobs n stuff in my set-up As for the dirt sounds, I did some recording recently and plugged straight into the Hyperpak - sounded really great and figured it must be to do with the impedance of the signal it was getting. (I usually run my bass in passive mode, so the signal goes from bass to MultiComp into the VFB2 and the Hyperpak & Pickle Pie. I'm guessing that the signal from bass to MultiComp is high impedance, but by the time it gets to the Hyperpak it's low impedance?) I'm pretty handy with a soldering iron, but wouldn't know where to start here, unless it's nice & straightforward
