    The octave has much more gain available due to the passive mixer being replaced with an active one, true bypass, 2 octaves down removed, and can run on 18V for even more headroom.

    Broughton Subsonic gets my vote. All the best bits of an OC2 with some upgrades.

    What can I say about this pedal that hasn't already been said? Super cool and unique filter used by Flea and lots of other people. No other filter I've come across sounds quite like this little green beast, and it also does the famous "dub trick" of turning your bass into a subby monster by turning off the sensitivity so the filter doesn't open. It's been well used in it's ~30 year lifetime with a few bumps and scrapes in the finish, but all is working as it should. Somehow the notoriously "difficult to keep hold of" battery door is still intact on this one! No velcro, and rear sticker with serial number still intact also. Really cool pedal that I owned a number of years ago, and wanted to revisit it out of nostalgia! I've had my fun with it here at home, and now it's time to pass it on. Boss to 3.5mm power adaptor included. Looking for exactly what I paid for it from here a few weeks ago: £60. Add a £5er for delivery, or can be picked up from Ickenham NW London.

    Hi all, I bought this on here in July 2024 to use on an upcoming tour, then decided on two separate signal chains (upright and electric) instead of using this as an A/B box. It has sat in a drawer in its pouch ever since, so is immaculate, and has probably only had a few hours use by me. It’s essentially the same pedal as the Basswitch DI (more well known to us electric bassists) but with a couple different features, namely a notch filter, and the ability to mix both inputs (for those using mic and pickup on their upright). It’s mainly aimed at upright players, hence the name and variation from the Basswitch, but it’s a lovely and very capable electric bass preamp, and has 2 effects loops, and a DI out. A real swiss army knife utility pedal. Perfect for running 2 instruments into a common signal chain and sending a single DI out. Comes with velcro attached (can take off if needed), it’s detachable rubber feet, and its protective pouch. Looking for what I paid for it - £150 + postage, or can be picked up from UB10, London.

    Hi all, up for sale is most of my Morningstar stuff. These are either hangovers from my big board days, or in the ML10X's case, absolutely brand spanking new, bought for a rack build that never happened. Never even passed a signal through it! I powered it up to make sure it worked, and that was it. Now that I'm using a Quad Cortex, the MC3 pretty much covers all my needs, and this stuff is redundant. So, up first: Morningstar MC8 - £220 In good used condition, with original box and accessories, including USB cable that has never been used. ML5 MIDI Loop Switcher - £125 *SOLD* In good, used condition. Small scratch on the "T" in the logo on the top. A fantastic bit of kit. 5 true bypass loops that can be switched on/off via MIDI. Alongside the MC8, this was the core of many of my pedalboard builds. ML10X REORDERABLE MIDI LOOP SWITCHER - £340 Literally as new. Still got the plastic on the screen. This is the above ML5 on steroids! 10 mono/5 stereo loops (as well as stereo ins and outs) with the rather nifty feature of being able to re-order these loops however you like, as well as splitting the signal as many times as you like, so you can run dry signal alongside pedals, or have all 10 loops running in parallel if you so wished. When I had my big board, this was my DREAM piece of kit. I was going to put all my pedals in a rack, with this bad boy, and control the lot from an MC8 out front. Sometimes you want distortion into your filter, and sometimes you want your filter into your distortion...Being able to reorder your pedals with a click of a footswitch is the feature i'd ALWAYS wanted. But it wasn't to be - by the time I had a tray holding my REDDI, a sliding tray full of pedals, a 2U drawer, my 2 Sennheiser Wireless units, a power conditioner, 2 Rockboard MODs for the IO, and all the cables I realised that I would very quickly get sick of dragging all of it to a Motown function and using a clean signal all night 🤣 Add £5 for postage or can be collected from Ickenham, NW London. Happy to meet on my travels, if not too far off my route.

    Shameless plug but I have a GigRig Generator and a LOAD of adapters and stuff i’m going to put up for sale shortly. @FretsOnFirePM me if you’re interested.

    Another vote for the QC. I’m not keen on the Nano due to form factor and IO, but the full QC (and now the Mini just released at NAMM) are definitely worthy of consideration. With the new V2 Capture process, the captures are closer than ever. I’ve captured my REDDI, Khan VTDI and Sushibox Neptunium into my QC and it’s great having all of them available, even multiple times in the same preset (ie on 3 or 4 outputs so different instruments can run through them separately with different settings). With the amps/cabs/IRs, plus all the captures you can download for free of almost any DI/Preamp/Amp/Cab/Overdrive Pedal, and then all the effects on top, for me it is worth the price of entry. I should caveat this with the fact I haven’t sold the actual DI units (The Neptunium won’t come off my small grab n go board because its easily the best little tube preamp/DI i’ve ever had with it’s form factor, 9v power, and versatility EQ-wise), but i’m at the point where i’m wondering if I would ever need the others again now I have them captured into the QC.

    What’s weird about it? Seems pretty logical to me when the pedal is based around the screen.
  12. Higgie
    I wanted it specifically for this tour, as it is what was used on the show in the west end and I loved the sound of it!

    Just finished soldering the last few cables for this board for a new tour that starts in Feb. Signal chain is: Instruments > Quad Cortex MC3 handles instrument switching and muting. Grape is in one of the QC’s FX Loops. The Peterson is on the Send from the other FX Loop in monitor mode so it’s always active and gives visual feedback of instrument tuning/intonation at all times. All Ins/Outs are fed through the Mod: Ins: Upright Bass mic > Mod XLR in > QC Input 1 (XLR with Phantom power) Upright Bass piezo > Mod 1/4” > QC Input 2 (1/4” Jack) Electric Bass > Mod 1/4” > QC Return 1 Outs: QC XLR 1 (Electric Bass) > Mod XLR Out 1 QC XLR 2 (Upright) > Mod XLR Out 2 QC Output 4 (TRS) > Mod 1/4” (mix of all 3 signals (mic/piezo of upright and electric) to feed my Porter and Davies Gigster) Power: Everything powered by a Cioks DC7, with the Crux powering the Quad Cortex. I bodged the drilling a little bit, but I installed one of these nifty Powercon In/Out units allowing me to daisy chain power from my board to the rack with the P&D Gigster in it. All jack plugs are Squareplugs

    Thanks mate, it is lovely, and I wish it was destined to be mine! Replied. Yeah - by far the best looking 69 Jazz I've seen. Just the right amount of "authentic" relic'ing! You can just tell it's been played in pubs and clubs all of its almost 60 years of life! Have edited the original post with some more info from the owner.

    Hi all - selling this for a family friend. If you are a collector looking for a time capsule bass, this is NOT it. It’s been played to hell and back and it looks like it! It’s an almost all original 1969 Jazz bass. 2 owners from new, the latter of which has had it in his possession since the early-mid 70's. It's been gigged in a family band all it's life, and has been pretty much unplayed for the last 10 years or so. Here’s what is NOT original: - A single intonation screw on the bridge - output jack - truss rod nut* - 1 strap button Body, neck, pickups, tuners, pickguard, tugbar, pots, bridge ashtray, frets all original. The frets are in bad shape and it will definitely need a re-fret, however it plays surprisingly well in spite of that! It sounds GLORIOUS - exactly that sound you think of when you think of a 60s jazz bass. It’s lovely and resonant, and with some TLC will be a fantastic instrument - I wish I could afford to buy it, I really do! *Some more info from the owner for full clarity: The truss rod is almost maxed out. A luthier has replaced the original truss rod nut for a new one, and it plays nicely aside from the need of a re-fret. The relatively low price for a bass of this vintage is indicative of the condition it is in. Can take more pictures if required.

    Hi all, Absolutely mint condition Peterson tuner up for grabs. The best tuners ever! I bought this brand new last year to take on tour, where it was always left in monitor mode for checking intonation, therefore has probably only been stepped on a handful of times. Mint in box with usb cable, and unused rubber bottom plate. Velcro that came with the pedal is attached. £90 posted, or can be collected from Ickenham.

    Jim responded to my wanted ad for an Aguilar Grape Phaser, and sold it to me. Very reasonable price, fast shipping, and great communication. A stellar chap all round! Thanks Jim!

    Also included is a rather nice K&M Stand that works well with the bass. It’s this one: https://www.thomann.co.uk/km_14160_electric_upright_stand.htm?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=1581404047&gbraid=0AAAAADuDMCWN9-N_bCN0f7j3ehXSykyJd&gclid=CjwKCAiAmePKBhAfEiwAU3Ko3EQuOboVDJyltmkq23uACEXoDLLFnNhf0fAi8oeoWR4MssJNVB46FBoC5L0QAvD_BwE

    Hi all, up for sale is a pretty rare beast. I bought this from this very forum a few years ago as an initial foray into Upright. Dan's original for sale thread here has some detailed info on the instrument. It's in exactly the same condition as when I bought it, as it did just one gig with me and has otherwise only been used at home for practice. It's strung B-G and has a piezo pickup in the bridge, with a single jack output on the side. As mentioned in the original FS thread, it's the most authentic sounding and feeling EUB I've ever come across, and was precisely the reason I bought it. The shoulder is detachable, and fits into a pocket within the gig bag. It weighs very little and so can easily be worn on your back with the shoulder straps on the gig bag. Only selling as I need the space! £1000 - Would definitely welcome collection on this as I wouldn't want to post it, but I could also meet somewhere reasonable for a contribution towards fuel.

    £150 now includes postage bump

    Boss LS2 patched in before your DI Boxes, set to A+B Mix mode. Take the output to one of your normal DI boxes. Done!

    Raz bought a Sadowsky Metro from me - the deal went very smoothly, with fast communication and payment. Wouldn’t hesitate to deal with him again! Enjoy the bass Raz!
