    Always a pleasure to interact with Pete, thanks for an easy transaction pal 👍😊
  2. Chiliwailer started following *Temp w/drawn* MXR M233 Micro Amp+ (balance levels between basses, or volume boost). - *WITHDRAWN* , MXR M233 Micro Amp+ (balance levels, or volume boost). and DOD FX25 Envelope Filter - £65 Posted

    MXR M233 Micro Amp + These are made in the MXR Custom Shop. Great for setting levels when switching basses, or for a volume boost when you need it. Tone controls are super handy too. Really excellent condition and works perfect. Price includes postage to standard UK post code.

    Big rich tone on this one, really resonant and defined, definitely one of the better Custom Shop basses, and yeah, excellent condition 👍 Sorry you have to sell it bro.

    Original Mike Lull product. Signs of use, not abused though. Selling as I’m having a clear out. £25 posted Thanks.

    Elephant in the room - I feel like a bit of ¥#€@ selling this for £20, but I’ve also seen them sell for way more than this. It’s here if you want it. Albeit, comes from a 1973 P Bass. Has all the mojo of a vintage Fender part, that you just can’t get with a modern neck shim 😉 Selling as I’m having a clear out. Postage via Royal Mail at cost. Thanks.

    ...maybe 'passive preamp' is just a flash way of saying passive circuit?
  8. Chiliwailer
    Your post got me curious - in a good way - as that's not been my experience with various Stingrays modded for passive, I can always notice a difference in the fundamental of the note. So, I took a look at the specs for the Reflex, seems the passive side has a separate volume and tone pot value to the active side which makes sense, but more interestingly Ernie Ball call it a 'passive pre-amp' - never heard of that before! I wonder if that helps 'balance' the volumes (which I always needed a pedal for), or if the passive pre-amp adds some colour? I'm lost now

    Only issue here is that the pickup is going straight to the jack, which will sound quite different as it has no load from the vol tone. An issue with using a regular Stingray volume pot is that the value is meant for the preamp going into it, so it’s not like a passive bass’s value. I have a Aguilar pre amp in mine, whereby the pup goes to the volume pot before the preamp, so it helps the passive mode as it’s a Fender type value pot. But I still use a volume boost via a pedal to help match the signals. With the volumes matched, the passive tone is surprisingly still big sounding.

    I added a passive switch in mine - to me it sounds less compressed, and with more ‘air’ in the notes like a passive Fender if you catch my drift. Not better or worse, just different - but a Stingray for sure.

    Been years since I entered this comp, but just had a week off work and tentatively felt like dipping my toe in the waters here again after a 6 month break in making any music - so hoping to keep it up monthly now all being well 🤞 The tune started as an acoustic thing I was playing last weekend, of which one part is heard in the middle eight type section, but it took a turn after seeing the competition thread and then recording it....I really liked the photo, it made me think of the intensity of chaos caused by GICs and how that'd be spot on for a new pedal I'd got recently - so in this tune the GIC attack starts at around 35 seconds!

    £65 posted to a standard UK postcode With heavy heart, this dirty funk beast is up for sale. These pedals are nostalgic bliss for me, but its not getting enough use and I need funds for something else. They have a phat and funky filter tone, or with the sensitivity right down they give a huge and smooth sub bass. The serial number dating site has this one as 'probably made within a couple of months March 1988'. Includes a PSU lead adapter. The power supply and battery work, and it has the battery cover and the little disks on the knobs are still attached! Cheers

    Going to withdraw this - seems too rare to be so easily giving up on, and is much fun to play on the days I can hold it comfortably, so she stays 😊

    Sorry mate, I’ve not logged on for a while. Still for sale, thanks
