Thanks, hand on heart I only liked this because it’s close by and because it looks cool. I don’t think I actually want or need an SVT.

Awesome video! You’ve inspired me to try making one too. Board sounds fantastic, all very useable.

Let's call it a misunderstanding and move on, shall we?! Have a lovely weekend

Hi Nick, Putting everything else aside, which we really do take into consideration given the chance, 'I'm trying to assess the desirability of these precisions among the bass community as I only need one of these bases now' or '(I'm) asking a question to start a debate to try to get to know how to go about achieving my goal' (which is to sell) ...are clearly attempts to ascertain value which isn't allowed, which was made clear. The 'What's it worth' section is only visible to supporting members so there was some confusion over that; I can't see any way around that to make the section more useful without it becoming a place to list things for sale without paying (also an issue with Wanted ads) but we make do and have been doing so for many years without a problem. Cheers

Hi folks There’s an Ampeg SVT-VR for sale near me. Refinished in white vinyl, with matching 1x15 cab. £1400. It’s on Facebook. I’m really tempted but just don’t think I could manage it or need the power. Having struggled in the past with moving other tube heads I’m not sure I want to go back, but man does it look cool. May be of interest to someone, which will stop me buying it! Happy to go and check it out if useful to anyone. It’s in York. https://www.facebook.com/share/Cw5cNxZrkiu24Sd5/?mibextid=79PoIi

On mobile there’s a ‘follow’ box at the bottom; on desktop it’s at the top of the page. Let me know if you can’t find it.

The thing is, that's exactly what we did. Everything is laid out very clearly in the 'warning' - which appears as a notification which you have to acknowledge before you can carry on. It was ignored. It was not us who 'went public' which I agree is a shame, and we have been painted as the bad guys somehow, despite, if you read the 'warning' a genuinely friendly offer to help do some research, which we're happy to do (and is really easy in this case). A similar situation recently resulted in the poster sending me a PM after reading the 'warning' note, we got talking and I ended up sending him a free membership. The system works if you follow it.

Can anyone tell me why this is petty/unfair/prickly please or shall I lock this now everyone is clear of the (easy, well communicated and helpful) rule? I’d seriously like to know feedback if you think there’s a better way to run the forum
-
I don't really see why - if there was no rule, nobody would pay for an advert, and BC wouldn't exist. As much as we'd like to, we can't make any exceptions, can we? Every post/thread that alludes to an item being for sale is removed and the poster receives a very nice detailed and courteous reply as to why: See, we even offer to help you research! Tell me how that's unfair?

For sale Shin-Ei wah/vol/surf/hurricane pedal reduced £150

Shall I move this to effects? -
You could get about six Sweepers in the space one of the Russians takes up. Maybe I should try it!! I keep thinking about making a mini board as an excuse to buy one 😂
-
Same, I had one (actually the USA version) and a mini Q tron. I think I didn't use them properly at the time, relying on them to make cool noises for me without appreciating how to ‘play’ the pedal, so I’ve come back to both and appreciate them anew. I didn't know about the adjustment either until I saw a mod where someone added external pots to adjust in the fly (a cool feature of the little Mooer Sweeper as mentioned by @Jean-Luc Pickguard). Judicious use and experimentation can yield results way beyond the factory settings, which I tend to find lean too much towards the top end and the bass end of the filter can slam open and whistle in response to a bass input)
-
Thanks! It’s a really flexible pedal actually, it responds very differently to dynamics - even more so than a conventional filter I think because the actual envelope control is only half the story; the distortion (more like a croak) adds another element which responds dynamically. Generally I like to use it palm muted and open up for certain notes or accents. I use it in one song where it goes under a keyboard and playing long notes which sound like a fretless!

I just found a pretty rare version of the Bassballs - this came directly after the (very limited) run of green ones - it's the same tall box as the green one but has the circular graphic in blue, and the big chunky switch before they changed it for a smaller one (then reduced the height of the box). It has a more conventional footswitch. After tinkering with it last night (adjusting the two filter sweeps by opening up the case) I have found it's sweet spot. It sounds quite different to the other; slightly more raspy and less punch, so like the filters are moving more slowly. Sounds great for synthy lines. I don't think it'll fit on my pedalboard though, which only has four pedals on it but they're all huge!
-
Sounds amazing by the way, I had the pleasure of trying it a while back. -
The Sonic Research Turbo Tuner ST200 takes batts and doesn’t drain when not engaged, even with a cable inserted. Maybe worth a look. Wish more pedals did that. -
Are short scale basses really as bad as they say?
ped replied to Cheeto726's topic in General Discussion
They often get pigeon holed as 'dead' and 'muddy' or lacking sustain, clarity - not always detrimentally. However I have found that my Mustang with rounds sounds super 'alive', piano-like, with tremendous clarity and punch. I sold a Celinder J-Update because of how much I like mine. They're cool. I think the neck on mine is fantastic, and although the lighter weight is welcome on my (perfectly fine) left shoulder, my right shoulder does have some nerve damage and I think the smaller body and hand position is more comfortable. -
I wish Roland would do away with the Katana moniker, even Boss is a dilution IMO. Don’t really understand why they do that. Amp looks great though, possibly a tuner will be added with a firmware update?

Cheers they’re Elixir 45-105 steels. Bass is in drop D tuning. Should point out that it’s not a standard mustang though (full story here if you haven’t seen it! https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/471651-modding-a-66-mustang-really-really/page/5/ -

Thanks! I'm dragging at the start but I'll spend longer on it at the weekend and do a better one. -

Recorded a bit of my 66 Mustang today. Backing track is my band, used Moises to remove the bass and put mine over. Backing track is only a demo so not 100% full quality but it gives you some idea. Love the sound of this bass, it just sits and pokes out when needed. Blue Horizon snippet.mp3
