Nordstrand Starlifter Preamp Di in virtually as new condition with power supply, box and instructions included. Super clean pristine sound with a really nicely voiced eq section. The unit is reassuringly heavy and oozes quality as you would expect from Nordstrand. £195 posted special delivery tracked and insured next day. These are currently £285 at Bass Direct It does require 12-15v volt AC power, I am using a TREX chameleon which is doing a grand job! blurb from manufacturer added below… Explore galaxies of tone with the new StarLifter bass preamp/DI pedal, offering top notch sound quality with a simple accessible feature set with clear and easy to use controls. It provides a killer clean DI signal that can either bypass the EQ or take advantage of the powerful tone shaping qualities of the carefully designed contour switch and the 3 band eq which features a sweepable midrange control. The line out provides plenty of gain to make any amp or powered cabinet sweat. A tuner out, mute switch, and switchable input impedance add real work flexibility. Get on board the StarLifter and take your tone to the stratosphere.

Hi all Up for grabs is a Creation Audio Grizzly bass pedal. It is a very highly regarded Overdrive/distortion/light fuzz pedal with a variable high cut and variable mid cut. I have been using it for a touch of grit which it absolutely excels at. Built like a tank and reassuringly heavy, all in excellent working order. Requires 9 volt 250ma power and looks pretty spectacular on a dark stage! I am based in Leicester where you are welcome to collect or I am happy to wrap it securely and post it next day insured special delivery to a UK address. These are currently £220 at Bass Direct so this is a significant saving. Possible trade for Darkglass VMT (not deluxe) Overdrive Distortion effects, make your bass (or guitar) growl like a grizzly! Grizzly Bass is a different kind of animal created with the pro player in mind. Like a tube pre-amp but without the fragile tubes or heavy transformers. Drawing from the experience and technological advancements of the Holy Fire, MW1 and Funkulator; Grizzly Bass has untouchable studio specs and rugged aesthetics to match. Clean Boost - from 0dB to +12dB. Overdrive - analog wave shaping tube simulator technology. Distortion - Hard edge clipping circuitry. Mid-Scoop tone shaping control. Hi-Cut filter to shape edges for vintage speaker simulation. Pristine Redeemer buffered output. Buffered bypass is stock (true bypass is optional) Can be used as a DI to plug directly into the line-in of any sound system. Uses 9VDC 250mA* standard center-negative 5.5 x 2.1mm barrel connector. Small footprint 3.1" x 4.25". Typical distortion relies on ridiculous gain and clunky forced-clipping, which creates unwanted noise. Which in turn needs to be filtered out—and that makes for thin, nasal tone. Ever wonder why pedals intended for guitar don’t work well for bass? This is why. But Grizzly Bass borrows proprietary wave-shaping technology from the Holy Fire to achieve tube-like saturation without adding noise or heavy filters—preserving your bass tone all the way down to 20Hz. And it sounds great on guitars too! This technology makes Grizzly Bass a very musical pedal that responds to your touch. Softer attack velocity gives you a cleaner sound, but when you dig in, the Grizzly Bass starts to roar. It's so touch-responsive that it's easy to control the saturation with your playing dynamics alone. When you plug directly into a sound system or use a solid-state amp, Grizzly Bass is a great alternative to a bulky, fragile and expensive tube preamp

Hi all I am having a bit of a clear out, so up next is the Starlifter DI. It is in excellent condition having spent all of its time on my pedal board ( Velcro on back) Built like a tank and very thoughtfully designed with a lovely eq and contour section plus an impedance switch and all the usual DI functions. The lights look super cool on stage and the pedal just oozes class. Original box included. I am looking for £195 posted to a UK address, these are currently £285.00 at Bass Direct. Might consider p/ex on an Origin Super Vintage or a Neve RNDI

I have been using it for a touch of grit which it absolutely excels at. Built like a tank and reassuringly heavy, all in excellent working order although the gain pot sometimes makes a slight noise when adjusted after being left for a long time… not an issue but I like to be up front. Requires 9 volt 250ma power and looks pretty spectacular on a dark stage!

I love a good 4 string Precision but these days only use a 5 string. I am regularly playing for leaders who sing in different keys, and so having the ability to easily transpose patterns without loosing the low notes is great. I also really like to use the B string for a big chorus or bridge section when I have previously been playing E string and above… it can really give a song a big dynamic lift.

Easily one of the best distortion pedals on the market that allows you to run clean boost or a combination of overdrive and distortion that when really cranked will get you into fuzz territory. Not only does this pedal sound amazing but it also looks sensational on a pedalboard. Bought recently off this forum and am asking for what I paid but with the postage included. Postage will be Royal Mail Special delivery. Condition is excellent with a small amount of paint missing from the front edges of the pedal. I do not have the original box but it will be packed extremely well for transit. Am only selling to raise funds after being ripped off on a bass a few weeks ago…

Only a couple of months old and barely used Starlifter Preamp DI pedal in as new condition with box. It has Velcro on the bottom ready to go straight into your board. This is a studio quality Preamp with a very clean musical eq section and a 3 position contour switch. Built like a tank and using the highest quality components as you would expect from Carey Nordstrand. The LED lights change from green(engaged) to red(mute) Also features an impedance switch on the back along with the usual DI ground lift etc… It does require 12v AC power which can be done with the included power supply or I have been using my TREX Chameleon which has been perfect. Special delivery postage to a UK address included. Am only selling to raise some funds due to getting ripped off on a bass a few weeks back…
