    *SOLD* Boss SYB-5 Bass Synthesizer

    in Effects For Sale

    Posted · Edited by TomWIC

    Hi all,

    Up for sale is my hardly used Boss SYB-5 Bass Synthesizer. It's a good, fun pedal and I enjoyed playing around with it but I won't use it in either of my bands and I don't have the pedalboard space for it anymore, so it's time for it to go.

    It has the original box and instruction manual, plus the mode list sticker you can put on the pedal. It's all in pretty good condition apart from a few minor scuffs down the sides. The base is already velcroed with Pedalboard Tape.

    £55 including postage and it's yours. Collection in Essex also welcome.

    Plastic is really nowhere near as weak as internet forums would have you believe.

    This. I used to use Behringer's TU300 tuner pedal, and it was so awful (it struggled to tune a low E) I used to give it quite a bit of abuse and stomped on it pretty hard with steel toe caps. Frequently.

    It still works. As well as it did new out of the box anyway.

    As for their other pedals I've tried, never noticed any big problems with them and their studio gear has always been pretty good. Just stay away from the tuners.

    Guess who !

    The nut on that is atrocious. I feel sorry for the poor person who buys that thinking they're getting a playable guitar.

    I'm using Dunlop Stainless Steels on both of my basses at the moment, one dropped to CGCF tuning and the other BF#BE and they've been brilliant, still sounding as good as they did when I first put them on and I'd definitely recommend them. I need to test out DR Droptune strings and see how they are, but until then I'll only use Dunlops.

    Some of my favourite bands don't have a bass player Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode to name a couple but it still doesn't stop me jamming along to them and enjoying their music.

    As much as there's rarely live bass on NIN albums, they do have a live bassist, bar some songs where the synth bass is too prevailant, i.e. Head Like A Hole and March Of The Pigs. Although, I regularly jam out Head Like A Hole and I can't imagine why they still relegate the bassist to rhythm guitar for that song. It sounds so good played on an actual bass with a bit of SVT overdrive.

    Same can be said for *some* pop music out there, there may be rarely bass guitar on records, but I'd imagine a lot of them still use a live bassist - The Veronicas for example, their second album was 95% synth bass, but all the tracks are played live with an actual bass player.
