    I sold a set of LaBella Flats to Cliff a little while back. Very good communication throughout meeting up for the exchange and a nice chap to do business with. Cheers, Ed

    Great transaction with Pete for his TH500. Arrived very well packed and dead on time. A pleasure to do business with and highly recommended. Cheers, Ed

    I have done three transactions with Chris over the last few months, selling then buying back a Yamaha TRB5Pii and selling a MarkBass CMD121P. Each time it was an absolute pleasure to do business with him - great communication, travel costs refunded without asking when I dropped stuff off by train, always a good chat when we met up. A top bloke and completely trustworthy, I would recommend him to anyone buying or selling. All the best, Ed

    Tim bought an Octamizer from me recently - good communication and top bloke to deal with. Cheers, Ed

    Excellent condition Pickle Pie B available for sale at [s]£120[/s] £100. No trades thanks. There is plenty on the web about these, but the demos aren't great and don't show the range of tones available, focusing on the full on fuzz distortion with Shape and Saturation up. It also does a really nice Shape-down subby fuzz and a few points in between. What does make it stand out is the Blend. It isn't what I would think of as a Clean Blend, as rolled all the way back it takes some of the highs off your natural bass tone (whereas in bypass it is pure); but whatever they did to the Blend circuitry it does mesh incredibly well with the fuzz at all settings rather than having that two-layer blend that so many pedals seem to do. Anyway, happy to meet up in Central London, or can post for £4.30 (1st class recorded insured to £50 only) or much preferred £7.15 Special Delivery (fully insured). Velcro on the bottom for your pedal board - I don't have the original box but it will be well packed. [attachment=180351:DSC09033.JPG] [attachment=180352:DSC09034.JPG]

    [b]OUT[/b] Yamaha TRB5Pii [b]IN & OUT[/b] Fender Roadworn Precision [b]IN[/b] Fender Roadworn Jazz Squier JV '82 Precision Also in: TH500 and TKS S112 with MarkBass making way. Plus too many pedals to mention. What I've learnt: 1. Just like Painy, after 30 years of playing I finally get what Precisions are all about, although it helps that my JV has a super slim neck. 2. I spend as much time on this forum as I do playing which has to change this year. 3. All that matters for me kit-wise is what makes me want to play (but then I'm just getting back into it so band-mix isn't important right now).

    Prices for these are interesting. Pretty sure I sold mine for £400 just after they stopped making them when there was still plenty of hype in the bass world (Nick Fyffe etc), and fewer other options. Crazy prices need rarity plus GAS catalyst (eg Muse and that Akai thingy). There are just so many more good pedal makers around now. But you certainly won't lose money and main thing is if it's making you want to play.

    Did you try out the GR1/2 or Wonderlove, they're supposed to be simpler copies of the Meatball? I had one of these years ago on an extended odyssey through the envelope filters of the day and just found it too complicated for my needs. In the end I settled on a Mutron as it had the sound I was after with much less scope for error, but I'm sure with patience the Meatball can do that and plenty more besides.

    Maybe this is Fender specific but I find their active Ps and particularly Js have a very different fundamental sound to passives. Not something that can be replicated by amp or pedal EQ. In fact I wanted to get a bit of the pumped up active J sound for a couple of tracks with my passive J and bought a Sadowsky pre pedal for the purpose but it didn't get close. The comment above about a more 'compressed' sound with active circuitry is interesting, maybe that's the difference I'm hearing... I'd appreciate any insight into this.

    Perfect condition Aguilar Octamizer in box. There are plenty of discussions on Basschat about these and they get plenty of praise. Built like a tank and tracks accurately. The octave filter is probably the coolest feature taking it from a dubby sound right through to fuzzy synth territory.

    This combo is basically brand new - I bought it a couple of months back from Wunjo's and it's only been played a handful of times at low volume in my living room. I paid £675 but prices have dropped recently to £595 so I'm looking for £500. I will provide the receipt as photographed which backs up the warranty. There have been plenty of threads and reviews on here about how great these combos are and given the LM3 head installed, how easily it can be paired with a NY121 cab for a super-portable rig for bigger gigs. As described in another thread (link following), the piezo is the combo's only weak point and I have disabled it which gives a much sweeter sound. It's a simple matter of switching a couple of wires on the crossover so I could put it back to how it was, but would recommend it as it is.

Would much prefer to meet up within a reasonable distance, or collection. [attachment=179649:DSC09024.JPG][attachment=179650:DSC09025.JPG][attachment=179651:DSC09032.JPG]

    I bought the Diamond comp some time ago but think the seller has been unwell recently which explains the lack of replies to queries.

    One Diamond BCP-1 Bass Compressor boxed and in as new condition. There are plenty of recommendations on here and Talkbass, and a useful review on ovnilabs here l[url="http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/diamobass.shtml"]http://www.ovnilab.c...diamobass.shtml[/url]. I only have the US power supply, although I may have one of the Diago red adaptors for use with standard Boss type PSU by the time I ship (needs centre +ve). Apparently these run fine on 9v with the adaptor. I have also run it perfectly well with a 12v Maplins centre +ve which are available for £10. Could send 1st class recorded for £4.30 but that only covers up to £50 so would prefer Special Delivery at £8.45 to get it to ensure quick receipt with full cover. The only trade I would consider is a 3Leaf Groove Regulator [attachment=178893:DSC08963.JPG]

    Don't be put off by the tweeter - if you don't like it it's easy to disconnect. I'm a complete novice when it comes to these things and was able to follow the instructions in the thread elsewhere. Simple to disconnect and simple to reconnect should you want to in future. That said it might not bother you. I can't comment on gigability as I haven't used mine in anger yet, but it sounded pretty sweet cranked in the shop.

    I was wondering a similar thing recently. Have a Roadworn Jazz and wanted to be able to pump it up to a more active vibe for the odd track. I bought the Sadowsky pre-amp/DI despite the guy at Bass Gallery telling me that it wouldn't do what I wanted, and it didn't. There was no magic transformation of my lovely vintage passive Jazz into a modern super-J. So I sold on the pre-amp and am buying back my Yamaha TRB which is a proper pumped-up active bass through-and-through. As to putting a pre-amp into a passive, I'd personally be very wary of doing that if I liked my passive in the first place, even with an active-off switch. I've yet to play an active bass that has as good a passive sound as a straight passive P or J.

    Classic flatwound set - 45, 65, 85, 105. I bought these a month ago from Wunjo's to A/B against a set of TIs. Pretty torn between them - the differences have been well aired in the Forum. These DTBs have a solid bass thump which the TI can't match, but what has won the contest for me is the looser tension as I'm getting the odd bit of tendonitis from work, so need to be careful not to aggravate it. That said, I didn't find the FS to be more effort to play than a normal set of roundwounds. Given a set of flats will keep going for years, these are basically new, just played in past their sticky phase. I had them on a P, so they have been cut for a 34" scale neck. Enough rambling, £30 includes 1st class within the UK.
