  1. It's basically like a passive tone control, but it just scoops the mids out, leaving the top end intact. Makes it sound like an active bass, as cutting mids sounds like boosting bass and treble. Really cool idea, and very effective!
  2. It really is. I guess I'm biased, but these 2 basses are a steal at these prices. You don't get attention to detail like this in this price range!
  3. Up for sale are my gorgeous Shuker Jazz basses. I picked up the 4 string on here, I believe it to be built in 2008. I commissioned the 5 to be as close as possible to the 4, just with a Low B, and it was completed in 2013. Woods, pickups and electronics are the same. The Villex electronics are insane! These are the 2 most versatile passive Jazz style basses I have ever played. Everything from Jaco to Marcus is in these basses, and all without a battery! The 4 string has reverse wind tuners and a Hipshot Detuner. There are a couple of very small dings on the 5 string, as it's been all over the world with me, but these aren't visible from the front. The 4 string has a ding through the lacquer on the back of the neck at the 12th fret. I can take more detailed pictures if needed. The 5 string weighs just over 10lbs, and will come with Schaller straplocks and it's original Hiscox Liteflite Case. The 4 string is an even 9lbs, has Dunlop straplocks, and will come with a standard Fender style hardcase, or if you want to knock £25 off, a standard Fender style gig bag. Ok, pictures available: HERE *PLEASE NOTE THE 5 STRING PRECISION IS NOT FOR SALE* Basses are both located in Chingford N.E. London. Would prefer collection as opposed to a courier, but one can be arranged at your expense if need be. Payment by bank transfer or cash on collection. 5 string Jazz £1100 4 string Jazz £SOLD £1750 if you want both! Here are the specs from Mr Shuker himself when I had the 5 string built: 5 string J bass classic 34" scale 21 frets 45 mm nut width 18mm string spacing 20.5mm neck depth at 1st fret 22,5mm at 12th Maple neck Maple board Two way truss rod Carbon fibre reinforcement Medium frets Black f/board dots (standard layout) Black 2mm side dots Satin neck lacquer (vintage tint) Bone nut Normal wind tuners, Chrome - Gotoh Alder body (traditional shape) Polyester basecoat Olympic White colour coat Villex 5 string J pickups Vol, balance, mid, treble cut Brown Tortoiseshell pickguard Chrome Gotoh 5 string bridge
  4. Maxon AF-9. Closest thing I've found to an original Mutron III. Currently pretty cheap at GAK and Anderton's too. They used to be around the £200 mark!
  5. If you have 2 daisy chains connected Lee, that sounds like you have 8-10 pedals hooked up? I don't think the Diago Micro is up to it! I had the same issue with mine, powering any more than 4-5 pedals introduced some noise. Also if the loose daisy chain ends are contacting anything metal (pedalboard, pedal chassis, etc) that could cause a short or maybe introduce some kind of unwanted artefacts also. Good luck with your issue pal!
  6. I didn't receive one mate! The amp is on hold pending payment anyway, but feel free to send again just in case anything changes!
  7. I have an Avalon U5 in exceptional condition in a seperate rack case I will sell with it for £1600 all in.
  8. I withdrew this last time I put it up for sale, but the reality is I need to let it go. It's in excellent condition, hardly been gigged since I bought it. It comes in the Aguilar headcase and has the padded cover to go with it, both also in virtually MINT condition. 450W at 8ohm, 750W at 4ohm, 975W (!!!) at 2ohm. Tube Preamp/Solid State Power Amp £1200 collected from NE London. Will deliver for free within a 20 mile radius. Part ex considered, but cash definitely is king!
  9. How has this not gone? I have too many 5 string J basses at it is, otherwise I'd have pulled the trigger long ago. Please someone take this soon so I can stop looking at it!
  10. Bought a REDDI from Roman. Pleasure to deal with, product as described, in full working order. Highly rated for sure. Thanks again pal!
  11. I've got one of these, and it's a hell of a cab! Bargain!
  12. It's not necessarily on other loopers. Definitely works with the Boss though!
  13. You could pick up a couple of Boss LS-2s fairly cheaply, and get a DI Box with a 'Thru' out and you won't need a splitter after the Meatbox. LS-2 set to A<->B for switching between Synth and Bass, with a Volume control for each instrument, and then another one after your FX set to A+B Mix, and have the post-DI wet Meatbox signal into the Return of Loop A, then the Dry output run through the rest of your FX into Loop B Return, and use the volume knobs to blend to your liking.
  14. The Xotic X-Blender has a Phase Invert switch too. With the big Blend knob, adjustments with your feet are possible. It also has a 2 Band EQ and a boost switch, and a seperate footswitch to go from blended to 100% wet. Very useful pedal.
  15. I assumed that too. You have to have it hooked up to the amp.
  16. Russ bought my Tonehammer 500. He drove to my door, we had a nice chat, and paid cash. The perfect buyer - enjoy your amp mate!
  17. Traded my PT-JR and Mono case with Al. Top bloke!
  18. [quote name='lowdowner' timestamp='1494793388' post='3298594'] How are you finding the Darkglass? I wondered whether you tried the Bergantino B|Amp as you have their cabs? [/quote] I'm loving it. I've only done a couple gigs with it (both of which were fairly small so didn't really get to crank it) but my initial reaction is that it is superb. I've never used/tried the B|Amp sorry!
  19. Wow - How things have changed since 2009! Bergantino AE210 and AE410, and Epifani UL410 My two Darkglass Microtubes 900s (main and backup) Pedaltrain Nano with the bare essentials L-R Sadowsky Metro RV5 P/J, 1st run Musicman Stingray 5 String Fretless "Dargie Delight", Modulus Flea J5, Shuker 5 String Precision 1982 Fender Logo Squier JV Precision (modded to P/J), 1982 Squier by Fender JV Precision with Dimarzio Model P pickup, Shuker 4 String Jazz, Shuker 5 String Jazz
