  1. I much prefer and pretty much only buy pedals that take a battery. I don’t use them much and when I do I only use a couple and I don’t want to faff around with adapters etc. there’s no point in a pedal being small if it needs a wall wart too (granted that’s different if you use a pedalboard which most people probs do)
  2. I put up a wanted ad for a Boss OC2 and Aidan messaged me. He sent the pedal before I had paid, making sure I was happy first. Excellent guy to deal with, thanks a lot
  3. Hopefully they don’t sell or he’s in for a long wait at the very least! I saw the Proton. Mental price. I couldn’t get rid of mine fast enough!
  4. I just took delivery of an MXR Phase 90. I prefer it to the 100 - sounds fuller and then n between the super liquify or slightly janky 100 settings. I’ve also been a bit naughty and bought something pretty special that will be here on Tuesday or something.
  5. The pic doesn’t work, is it the black five string you were thinking about respraying? I’m not surprised, my Atelier Z was amazing. It’s been interesting to see you try out so many basses, as I think we probably have a similar taste in 70s jazz type basses.
  6. Just to complicate things, it also depends hugely on how you’re using your compressor. For peak limiting I always have mine right at the end
  7. Yeah it's fine - fairly thick plastic leather and decent padding. Good for the price and comfortable to wear. I think Fame are. budget brand who put their name on a number of budget items, like Harley Benton etc.

    DOD FX25 £50

    Any funkateers tempted for £65 posted?
  9. Every time I listen to a pre-amp demo I always think the bass sounds better before they switch it on!

    Bongo to try?

  11. Thanks but my wanted ad was answered already!
  12. Someone mentioned there about installation and how it should be properly done... I think there was more to it than drilling it on, although I'm pretty sure my SR5 was and it seemed fine although the relief didn't go completely flat despite truss rod adjustment (not caused by poor installation mind you)
  13. I had one on an OLP Stingray 5. It was fantastic and the whole bass sounded amazing - but I'm not really a 5 string player (or a player at all!). IME graphite necks make everything about the bass more even and clearer - for better or worse, depending on what you want to achieve. Buying used, make sure the neck as been properly installed.
  14. Thanks but I like my jazz basses 70s spacing and I’m all set in that department! I’m only selling this to concentrate on my Stingray
  15. Anyone in York or passing through is more than welcome to come and try this (and my other) basses!
  16. Some really interesting history about G&L here if you're keen to read up on it. I really enjoyed going down the rabbit hole with this bass. I will keep my SB1 forever and fully believe that the USA and Tribute G&L basses are one of the best kept secrets in the business. Those that know how good they are know!

    Little bump for the FX25 - bargain price!
  18. No basses I'm afraid, just some amps and pedals (and maybe a case or two!)
  19. For sale is this beautiful 1982 G&L L2000E. There's every reason to see why this bass was at the top of the evolutionary tree of Leo Fender's run of successful instruments. This bass is outstanding in many respects, with a fantastic EQ and switching system. You can read all about the bass and my research into the evolution of the L2K itself in this thread It comes with it's original case (which is a bit battered, but, like the bass, it's been used not abused - perfectly functional and looks great. The bass is strung with Elixir 40-100 strings and is set up for a low action with dead straight neck. The bass weighs 10.3lbs (4.6kg) which is pretty good for these mahogany bodied early E series basses. It balances really well and has a deliciously smooth and gently worn neck which has slowly turned a lovely dark amber colour over time. The electronics work perfectly and are incredibly flexible, whilst offering some great core sounds with very little fiddling. You can read more about them on the thread or the document I've added below which is also inside the case. Everything Is 100% original and unmodified (though I contemplated doing the 'K mod' to offer the addition of outer coil only mode, any tech can do it quite easily if you want to!) Any questions let me know. I'm in York and would prefer to meet halfway and deliver however postage could be an option if fully insured and added to the price if you're massively far away. I'm only selling because over xmas I had a real decent amount of time to compare and contrast my basses and rationalise what I have accumulated over the last few years. There will be more sales to come in a few days! Cheers ped
  20. The various amp models, effects and the way they work are as near as identical as I can tell to my VB99 - the difference being the headphones themselves (the WAZA have a slightly less flat response to my main headphone setup which is easily compensated for) I’ve never tried any other boss or Roland multis though at least not recently. I assume the core processing and COSM technology is the same. You can’t Improve on perfect!
  21. In fact, the very few people who are technically ‘banned’ are so because they asked to be!
  22. I’m in York if you’d like to try my SB1 at some point it’s my favourite P bass by some margin!
