Used to love them. BSSM is untouchable greatness IMO. I struggle with the stuff before. Californication is a very good album, but after that I struggle to find the magic in it. In 2012 I saw them live in Knebworth and I left early. I was really looking forward to the gig but it was just so incredibly bland and uninspiring, no energy, no audible vocals, and I found Flea's crowd chat childish nonsense. Another band I probably saw too late in their career.

There's a synth repair person in Hemel Hempstead, Plasma music. I've used him to service my bass amps recently but his specialty is vintage synths. Might be worth a try if you can't resolve on your own

That's poor by the promoters, we've known for a while it's going to be a bit hot this month. Anyone want to blame Yungblud's dad for the weather?

Something I can't find in the manual but would like to do... If I'm using a delay/ reverb or modulation type effect I'd like the sound of this to continue to tail off rather than abruptly halt when I deselect the effect. Example: playing some kind of atmospheric echo-ey phrase and then wanting to kick in with a distorted but not modulated baseline. Having an abrupt stop to the echo ruins it, but I don't want that echo on the distorted baseline... Is there a way to do this? I know there is in the HX Stomp (trails or something?) but couldn't find this in the Boss manual.

This looks awesome https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/296599352696?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=R_g2gndvTiO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=XRJhsZSpS5O&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

This is awesome.

My Harley Benton fretless has a laurel board and it sounds better than my rosewood board fretless.

I think this would look good with those single string bridge thingies, you know the little round individual part-per-string bridges. Anyhow, glad you're enjoying it, looks great.

My ME90B arrived on Thursday last week. I moved house on Friday so today was the only time I've managed to sneak half an hour with it. Of course, I haven't read the manual... Initial impressions are good. There is everything you could want in one box. Yes, the Fuzz isn't as good as my old Darkglass, the distortion not as good as another old Darkglass... Etc. etc. But there is sufficient quality and control. I haven't bothered with the presets yet, though I remember from my old Boss GT10-B their presets were generally very good so I look forward to playing with that. I've tried quite a few of the different effects and so far I'm very happy. No more patch cables that can slip, no velcro coming unstuck, far less weight, able to save settings... It's just so sensible and practical, which Volvo driving man that I am means it's perfect for me. I need to get used to which effects are on which pedal and really get in to twiddling but with all parameters at noon I am satisfied I've got good quality sounds that I can click on and out easily and that I've got rid of the problems separate pedals unfortunately bring (noise, more points of failure, not playing nicely together...). More detailed review to come soon

Lovely!

Agreed! This amp is great, a really full and authoritative sound and headroom to infinity. The MB Series looks very cheap unfortunately, whereas the DBS looks premium. I had mine serviced and really it was just dusty, no issues after twenty five years, ten of those in storage. It doesn't replace my ABM but it's certainly not a bad backup.

£50 posted or £45 collected. Good condition TU-3 doing all the things you'd expect from one of these workhorses. I'm throwing in a daisy chain power cable too so you can run other pedals off this one, I've hardly used it, just had it while I waited for another PSU to come in stock. -
Fantastic preamp pedal. Two channels so you can either have two separate instruments input or switch your sound. Works great as a DI box too, I've done a few gigs using this and no amp. The EQ set "flat" on channel A is a good transparent sound for you to keep the character of your bass or amp then you can tweak with the Boost etc to shape the sound. It does cab SIM too and has an effects loop that you can blend. A truly great pedal. Only selling because I'm on multi FX now. I will include a right angle adapter for XLR out because it helps save space on the pedal board. £125 with UK postage or £120 collected. -
I LOVE this pedal but for various reasons I'm going back to multi FX. On low drive settings you can get a great volume and presence boost, on high drive settings you can tear down walls. Somewhere in the middle is a nice rock tone for a bit of emphasis. A really great pedal. £125 posted in the UK or £120 collected. -
I recommend the example settings in the manual, especially the "enhance" setting for fretless. Only selling because my multi FX has this effect built in. £45 posted in the UK or £40 collected from St Albans or Welwyn Garden. -
Sorry to hear about your Dad, sounds like you have some great memories together. A guitarist I knew tried to learn lefty for Hendrix tribute reasons and got nowhere. I think it depends how dominant you are in your right hand. The coordination on different sides of the body can be very different. If you can pat your head and rub your tummy, great, now try changing which hand is doing which job. Might be difficult. I guess having a go is the only way to find out. And if it doesn't work flipping the nut and re-stringing is a non intrusive way to make it work for you.

**price drop** £45 posted or knock off a fiver if collecting. Excellent pedal and so flexible. Currently with the Duff McKagan toneprint loaded on but does so much more for guitar or bass. Only selling as I move back to multi FX. -
**price drop** £100 posted in the UK or knock a fiver off if collecting. Absolutely awesome fuzz pedal. Original four knob version. This combines two distinct fuzz types, from a ragged rock bass fuzz to a more synth/ modern type fuzz sound. Loads of flexibility, utterly excellent. Selling due to switching back to multi FX. More pedals for sale soon... Cosmetic condition is ok but the pedal works fantastically well. -
Well, that was a LOT of bass!!! First proper gig pushing this amp, scrap that, it never felt pushed at all. Sounded phenomenal.

I love this

I had seen a few of these lovely little tweed reissues come up and started to investigate. Completely wrong, because I'm trying to reduce gear drastically and raise cash for my upcoming house move but I have no self control. I've had the amp for less than a week and it got two gigs this weekend. My usual rig is an Ashdown ABM600 with two fifteen inch cans but I fancied something more portable and with a distinct character. The TV twelve is an ok one hand lift at 20kg though more modern 12" combos will probably be half the weight. The tweed is a bit worn in and has dulled a bit and got some patches of light wear but is in good condition as is the brown speaker cloth. There are two things I love about this amp: the gain dial, I generally crank it most of the way up which gives a gorgeous, round and full woollyness to the sound, proper valve preamp. It's great with my jazz bass and stingray but comes into it's own with the P bass. The other thing is the volume control. At four or less it's comfortable home practice levels. Above that it's gig levels. Last night on an outdoor stage I had the amp at seven (out of twelve) and could hear it beautifully on stage, even with a full drum kit and stage monitoring. I ran the amp at lower levels the night before for a private party in a small room with electronic drums and a sub for the PA, again really good projection. So, this doesn't replace the ABM but I got a bit sick of going to festivals and having to use some really awful provided bass amps, where there isn't switch around time to bring out the ABM rig I can just bring the TV twelve and everything is fine. It's really got its own character, and sounds as good as it looks. They aren't cheap second hand but they really are a great little noise box.

**Open to offers** £150 Excellent quality little combo amp. Note this is from the Working Pro series, not the Working Man series. 10" speaker, fantastic EQ options and wedge shape allowing for tilting back to hear it better. Serious volume out of this as well as fantastic tone. A proper pro quality bass amp for recording and gigs. 100 watt output is deceptive. This is LOUD and EQ'd properly it cuts through. I have used this on big stages with a DI to the PA and had it either in front or behind me. There is a jack input at the side to take a feed from the PA so you can use this as a one box solution for monitoring and Bass amp, very clever. The amp has had a recent service (I will provide receipt to buyer) and everything is in good working order. The less good points: The carpet is a bit rough on one side and I've covered a rough part of the carpet with duct tape. The tweeter gives a low hiss, I never bothered using it. Note this amp is a few years old and has had a working life. Though it's not pristine cosmetically it's still a fantastic amp for recording, gigging and rehearsing. It's a tough decision to sell but I managed to buy something quite unique and need to make space. Collection preferred from St Albans/ Welwyn Garden City. Delivery is possible. -
My Boss ME90-B will arrive at some point before the end of July, at which time all of these pedals will become available. Listing now to give first dibs. Boss TU-3 tuner £45 Boss LMB-3 Limiter Enhancer £45 EBS Microbass II DI/ Pre-amp, boxed £125 Darkglass Duality Fuzz, old style £90 Darkglass Alpha Omicron overdrive/ distortion best pedal ever, boxed £125 TC Corona Chorus, boxed £55 Could also be available... Harley Benton iso-12 power plant £60 Harley Benton Spaceship 60 with case and loads of pedal mounting accessories £50 So, I won't take money or post until I've got the replacement in my hands but if you can wait up to two weeks then message me now and I'll set aside whichever items you like. -
I'm happy with the deal. I'd looked at a few different versions online in varying conditions and I'm happy with what I've paid. Thing is, I just paid for a service on my SWR practice amp... Can't justify keeping both. Need to thoroughly check this amp out. Two gigs this weekend so it may get both of them.
