  1. [quote name='steve-soar' post='469024' date='Apr 21 2009, 09:11 PM']Oh, bum conkers, I want that Malekko but it's too dear for me. It's the bright I want, not the dark. Nad batter. [/quote] Make me an offer [quote name='ritch' post='469133' date='Apr 21 2009, 11:00 PM']I saw on the Melekko website that the 600B isn't compatible with the 1Spot type power supplies, but would it work with one of the AC-DC brick types, with multiple outputs? Cheers Rich[/quote] Those bricks are basically a 1 Spot in a box, so no! Battery, or some kind of isolated power supply will be needed. I'd advise buying an isolated supply like the Pedal Power 2 or Burkey Flatliner, but the cheapest option (aside from buying a seperate wall-wart) is the [url="http://www.thegigrig.com/acatalog/TheGigRig_Virtual_Battery.html"]GigRig Virtual Battery[/url]. It plugs in between your power supply and pedal, and effectively isolates that output.
  2. No matter what rig your using, this thing can become a part of it. I was planning to use this as the patcher between my boards. I had it on my band board, which was OC-2>Cream Pie>Barge(Swollen Pickle clone in the first loop)>Tuner all on a pedaltrain mini. This means I had 2 different blend settings for my fuzz, then all I had to do was plug the send and return into the in and out on my second board, and it serves as the perfect link to put everything in before the tuner, amd also means I can blend my second board at different levels to my fuzz, but also means all I have to do is unplug 2 leads and then I could just grab the small board for grab 'n' go gigging!
  3. [quote name='thisnameistaken' post='468819' date='Apr 21 2009, 05:34 PM']So that Barge box is two loops in series, each with two switchable blend settings? You can't blend the two loops together?[/quote] No they are both seperate. You can blend them, but you'd be running whatever is in Loop A into Loop B as well. It's basically 2 of the same pedals in one. You could place a pedal between loops as they have individual ins and outs. Or you could run different loops/basses to different amps, etc. The possibilities are endless!
  4. Ok here we have a Custom VFB pedal. Here's the original info from when I bought it a few weeks ago: [quote]Barge Concepts Custom VFB - This is a custom made VFB, and instead of having the feedback loop, the pedal housing is slightly larger, but houses two blend circuits. The reason for the larger enclosure is because each of the loops works independent of the other. Each loop has dedicated in, out, send, and return jacks (you can route the two loops in any order on a pedalboard, or cascade them one into another) as well as two blend amount pots that are selected A/B style via a footswitch (with red/blue labels and a red/blue LED to indicate the pot used), there is also a variable impedance pot on each of the loops as well.[/quote] Barge Concepts now make a pedal as standard that performs this, the DVB-2, but this is 2 DVB-2's in one box, with an impedance control for each loop, allowing actives to work with ANY fuzz. I need to fund a new Aguilar cab, so anything surplus to requirements has to go. A standard DVB-2 is $125 + shipping and import duty, so this is a steal at [s]£140[/s] [s]£105 + postage[/s] CHRISTMAS BARGAIN: £105 posted. Cheers
  5. Bumpity! Need to find the camera!
  6. The bass is very light! Lighter than every other bass I own.
  7. [quote name='PauBass' post='466534' date='Apr 19 2009, 08:03 AM']+1 After having owned the EBS Multicomp and the Demeter Compulator, the Compulator is the one for me too... very transparent, low noise and easy to use, it's great bit if kit [/quote] +1 Haven't owned the MultiComp, but I've tried it and definitely prefer my Demeter
  8. I've had 2 Skyline basses, a DJ4, and a DJ5, and my dad had a DD. My DJ4 is HEAVY, heavier than the aforementioned DJ5. It's also very well put together, and plays like a dream! I love it, even though it's heavy. It's not going anwhere! The DJ5 I eventually sold on as it just wasn't right for my current band (now the happy owner of a SR5) but it was a lovely bass to play, and was every bit as good as the DJ4! The DD I had the least experience with, but before I got my JV P, the DD was going to be my bass of choice when I was looking for a P bass, as I loved it so much, especially with a Jazz neck on it, but the JV was cheaper, and now I don't see any reason to get one, as this JV is a real gem!
  9. Who wants to lend me £800 then?
  10. Really nice build there. We must have similar tastes as my Warmoth build (which has been sitting in the corner of my room for a while also!) is nearing completion, and it's very similar to yours! Same body, same colour, with a Bad Ass II, but mine will be fretless (got a fretless ebony/maple neck), have Nordstrand NJ4SV pickups and a Sadowsky Pre-Amp. Again, lovely build, looks like a great bass, just can't wait to get mine finished. It's my first fretless, and I'm lookin forward to rocking some Pino, Jaco etc
  11. [quote name='karlthebassist' post='457781' date='Apr 8 2009, 08:24 PM']Ooooh lovely! This is making me very very excited - my GS112 cab should arrive at the Bass Merchant this week, then I'll get it next week! Been waiting for what feels like forever. Has been a couple of weeks. Was so tempted by a White Hot DB112... Nice to hear that a few people on here are using Aguilar 1x12 cabs with Markbass heads and liking the results...[/quote] I hear ya. I've been in contact with the Bass Merchant about a DB112NT in Chocolate Thunder, and the only one they had left in stock was sold just before I was ready to buy it. They told me they'd have a new shipment in 3 weeks, about 6 weeks ago. I'd keep your fingers crossed if I were you - I know that'll hinder your playing for a bit but it will be worth it when the cab turns up
  12. Wow. Some serious amplification there. An Original Whammy AND a Bass Whammy too, respect to you sir!
  13. Bump
  14. I've already got a Stingray 5, but this is gorgeous. Trade for my Stingray 5? It's Trans red, maple neck, and a Nordstrand 5.2 pickup
  15. I said I'd never sell it as it's the first bass I ever bought with my own money, but at the end of the day, I need cash, it's not getting used, and it's taking up space. Anyone who's played these basses knows they are cracking instruments for the price, and they are ideal for that backup bass that you don't have to worry about when you don't want to take your pride and joy It's the blue one above - Obviously as you can see I liked the bass so much when it was my main bass I bought the 5 string version of it too It's in pretty good condition, the only issue is the volume pot has come loose. It still works perfectly, but it just wobbles in it's socket. Couple of dings here and there, but nothing noticeable from more than 3 feet away Looking for [s]£120[/s] £SOLD. Can arrange postage at buyer's cost!
  16. Ok haven't managed to take a pic yet but the guitar I'd like to buy is finishing on eBay in 2 hours. £80 for a quick sale! It's in fine condition, only been used in my room since I got it a couple years ago, and used sparingly at that!! Cheers
  17. Most probably a TU-2
  18. I want to upgrade to a strat of some kind. It's in very good condition, as I don't play much guitar. It's a blue Les Paul Copy. Ideal for a beginner, but it's also fine just for the occasional dabbling and song writing, as I've used it! Pics coming soon. Was thinking of offers around £90 Cheers
  19. £5er and a mars bar? Just kidding, but a lovely looking bass you got there! I'd have it if I had the spare cash, I need something with 24 frets to diversify my collection!
  20. That is my dream rig! I'm halfway there already, got a chocolate thunder DB112 and an AG500SC - Just need the NT cab now!! Glad it's working out for you, and I hope to have the same luck

    Drummers

    We're kicking the drummer out of our band because he simply cannot bring a fill back in on the 1. Fortunately we have a replacement! Just as an aside, my dad is a bass player, and our new drummer is my dad's drummer's son, so we're effectively the next generation of the same rhythm section, lol! Weird how things turn out!
  22. In which case, the AF-9 has no such control. It's got sliders for Sensitivity (how easily the filter triggers) and peak (how much it sweeps) and then a few swtiches for LP,BP and HP filters, Hi or Low range, and Up or Down filter sweeps.
  23. It's an envelope filter, rather than an auto-wah, so I couldn't really say how "slow" it goes.
  24. Everyone knows Blue LEDs give you a better tone...Add a white one in there and it's tonal nirvana
