Needing other stuff, so i present a rare opportunity to own a fantastic Prunes and Custard. It's a highly Dynamic synthy fuzz/Distortion. It features a two-stage fuzz and wave-shaping distortion circuit. First there's the a preamp stage, the gain of which is adjusted with the Drive control. The preamp stage is followed by a special waveshaping distortion circuit. Together they give you what Crowther Audio like to call a 'harmonic generator-intermodulator'. Essentially higher harmonics are progressively introduced with increased Drive settings and signal level, so a decaying bass guitar note can sound like a filter sweep. Some strong intermodulation effects, rather like those out of a ring modulator, start coming out. But in a more musical and distorted way! -Level: controls the overall output volume The Mix control is a balance between the preamp stage output, (CCW) and the special distortion stage output (CW). For bass guitar, the Mix control would usually be set at around 10 to 12 o’clock. For guitar, a high Mix setting, along with reduced Drive can give some rather pleasant overdrive effects. Where the Drive and Mix controls are set are set to higher settings, the sound can become all harmonics, with very little fundamental signal, and in some situations may sound a bit thin, especially for bass guitar, but setting the Lo Freq.contour switch to the right takes some low frequency from the Preamp side of the Mixcontrol and mixes it back with the special distortion side. -Drive: adjusts the gain of the preamp stage. Of course with sufficient input/drive, the preamp stage can be overdriven. This is a highly unique effect and great for synthy tones (I think the guy from Muse used one,but I could be wrong) Ive had great results running an octave in parallel with this, no extra envelope Filter needed. Anyway I hope this answers any questions, it is in good condition,but it has been used,so there is a bit wear on the graphics. SOLD Justin and Juan give this a review -
like a lot of Oysters you will sometimes find a nice pearl!! Wolfram is fairly new to Basschat, with not a lot of posts to his name. He recently bought my Wonderlove pedal and despite my initial reservations about sending sending parcels to one of our EU cousins, Wolfram was a joy to deal with. Exceptionally good communication, ultra fast payment and a thoroughly lovely bloke to boot. He was very patient and trusting throughout our transaction and was a lot of help, with negotiating through all the pointless Bureaucratic red tape our great nation has created anyway as a long standing member of this forum, I can highly recommend dealing with him in the future. Many thanks Wolfram, until next time

Agreed! Perfect partner to an OC2 -

I'm afraid it's sold 😁 -
Cool!! How do you find the compressore Stew? I've got my eye on one 😁
-
Phew! Thank goodness for that! Ive a C4 coming tomorrow and have been planning having both 😂 -
Aha!! Enjoy 😁 -
PM'D earlier via messenger 😁

Yes it's a one piece body,with a striking grain. Pickup is a MM 4.3 MM4.3 The MM4.3 will drop into a Music Man® Sterling® or other 3-way switched installation, and features a dummy coil on the bottom for silent single coil mode. Like the MM4.2, the MM4.3 features Alnico V magnets and Heavy Formvar wire for an authentic early pre-Ernie Ball® tone—punchy, growly, and fat. Includes black cover (exposed pole pieces). I'm actually not so keen on the single/series modes! They seem to cut a lot of the treble and bass. The paralell mode is pure vintage ray! All i need 😁

While my children are still young, I'll just have my jazz/P bass/Sterling and hope to god no more stinky poo comes up,where I've to sell another one. Is there an ex pro player who never had any more than 6 basses at time section? The one where life keeps intervening, and they have to be sold 😂 I also have a terrible pedal addiction, I'd say this thread is transferable to the effects section too 😁
-
Absolutely spot on!! 😂 Perhaps if everyone learned to love flatwounds, then future GAS could be avoided 😁

She's back with me! And I was the one that named her Rita 😁 I bought her from The original owner Greeneking who fitted the Nordstrand. I also remember seeing her with another basschat owner in Bassist magazine. Recently had a new nut fitted a full setup/electrics check and a clear perspex guard. Somewhere down the line a horrible nut making the strings narrower was fitted! I got that fixed as soon as I could afford it. I've had her back about a year now. I first owned her 12 years ago, I got from Warwickhunt who traded it to me, I part traded it later to a young fella Josh whom I believe sold her to you Mr Wrinkleygit. I recall I PM'D as I followed her adventures and missed out on need a 2nd time to Warwickhunt who can't help himself and sold her a second time 😂 She stays with me and had been doing a lot of recording recently. Small body/slim neck of a sterling and the Alnico vintage balls of a classic ray, and looks amazing Funny everybody loved her, NOBODY kept her😂 I regretted parting straight away,even though It was for a Ken smith.

That Cog gone then? 😁 Not surprised, I've the T70 it's my favourite pedal. Wish Id had the cash for this too. -
Slight digression! I'd this Hot one stuff any good? I'm just looking at their funky looking bit crusher. I assume the build/sound quality is comparable to the Mooer?
-
Lol! That sounds about right 😂
-
I've always thought of the Darkglass to be very "Metal" sounding so I've always avoided it. I'm sure if I tried it,I would like it.nigh on every Demo of the pedal seems to have the same harsh/grainy extreme top end distortion sound. For me the Tech21 VTbass (any version) on the B15 settng does the Motown sound perfectly and a lot cheaper than Darkglass 😁

I must admit as I'm getting older,The temptation to put flats on all my basses is high 😂 My P is currently wearing TI's which I love, but yes they have a very mid/high range to them, I plan to replace them with Labella which have a deep/warm tonewithout much high end Not too long ago,I had a Yamaha BB with EB Cobalt flats they 're fantastic and have a broken in nickel roundwound tone with a nice supple tension. I'm currently considering removing the Badass/East pre from my jazz,and returning it to passive, I'll probably get some cobalt flats for it too. D'addario chromes have a very bright but clanky high mid tone,which is great for Rawk.
-
PM'd you a couple of days ago,not sure if you've received it? 😁 -
IIRC The funk face sounds very like the EHX Bassballs but with a tube drive, rather than a fuzz. Maybe the tube will give it a richer voice, but the Bassballs will give you that sound for a lot less Shackles.

Hi did this sell? 😁

It's a pleasure to start a feedback thread for this fine Gentleman. Derrick is the lucky owner of my 3 leaf Enabler. Very friendly comms and super fast payment. Deal with confidence
