I'm downsizing to one board and I don't need two compressors and two preamps; details of the Studio One below. Empress Bass Compressor - blue sparkle £185 including postage to UK SOLD It's in good condition but has a few scuffs and a scratch between the input and output knobs. Photos show all the blemishes. Broughton Audio Studio One preamp and DI. £350 including postage to UK. SOLD Much sort after unobtanium preamp from Josh. This is easily the best non-tube preamp I've used (I'm keeping an Arkham Oracle tube preamp), it is largely a clean preamp with excellent EQ, LPF and HPF but crank the gain and you can get some sweet hair. It's supposed to replicate a Neve 1073 console. If he had new ones available this would be £356 shipped to the UK ($325+$40+VAT+Duty+Post Office fee). It's in excellent condition with one small blemish on the side near the level knob. Details from Josh: The Studio One authentically captures the character of the Neve 1073 console preamp. This high fidelity transistor preamp adds a touch of studio magic to your bass or guitar, without imposing ugly artifacts on your tone. The gain knob provides up to 20 dB of boost. The bass and treble shelving EQ provides 15 dB of boost or cut. The mid EQ also gives 15 dB of boost or cut with a dedicated variable frequency knob. The frequency varies from 300 to 3k Hz. The HPF cutoff frequency varies between 25 to 190 Hz. The LPF cutoff frequency varies between 20k to 330 Hz. The master knob controls the volume of the 1/4" and XLR out. The 1/4" unbalanced output can drive other pedals, preamps, instrument amps, and power amps. The XLR out can drive long cable lengths to feed a console or mixing board. The soft touch bypass switch controls a relay. When bypassed, the input signal is buffered and sent to the 1/4" and XLR out, with no signal processing. When active, the outputs are both affected by the gain, EQ, filters, and master volume. The ground lift switch allows the ground to be connected or removed from pin 1 of the XLR. The Studio One requires a regulated DC power supply. The voltage must be no less than 9 volts and no greater than 18 volts. The supply must be rated for at least 200 mA. The supply must use a 2.1mm barrel connector with center-negative polarity. You should choose a supply that is intended to be used for musical devices to ensure it will be low noise. There is no difference in performance when using 18V compared to 9V. Dimensions: 4.77" long x 3.6" wide

Fake Plastic Trees preamp/drive pedal SOLD Excellent condition One of the best, if not the best, overdrives I've ever owned; it can get very gnarly too or just used as a touch of hair. I'm downsizing my pedal collection (there's quite a bit on eBay too), hence the sale. Blurb from their website: The Fake Plastic Trees (FPT) is a scrupulously engineered, solid state homage to the array of euphonic joy available on the *‘line out’ of our much loved The Big Trees (TBT). ‘But what’s inside?’, I hear you cry! The following are a few of the elements: Class A, hand-graded JFETs, a discrete stage modelling the EL84 grid-clipping profile, a custom Mumetal output transformer, TBT speaker load, and a Class A line driver. The combination of those components, plus the painstaking refinement of each element have crystallised into a pedal which has the ultra-dynamic feel and irresistible playability that have become Audio Kitchen hallmarks. As I type, there are very few of these out in the wild, but in the same way as TBT has spread its canopy of application further than I could have imagined, I’m eager to see what you all make of this new addition. Gain – This controls the level of preamp signal presented to the output stage and as such will control the degree of break-up. Root – This controls the level of bass frequencies present in your tone. Branch – This controls the level of treble frequencies present in your tone. Volume – This controls the level of signal present at the Out jack when the LED is lit. Footswitch – This selects whether FPT is in circuit (LED on) or bypassed (LED off). 9VDC Connector – Standard Boss type supply, centre negative, 100mA. - Class A Guitar/ Bass Preamp Pedal - FPT will NOT drive a speaker! - Nominal Output Impedance: <1KOhm - Controls: - Gain, Baxandall-based EQ – “Root” (bottom), “Branch” (top) , “Volume” master volume) - Power Requirement: - Standard 9VDC @ 100mA, 2.1mm, Centre-Negative. - Durable, die-cast aluminium enclosure - Dimensions Approx: - 116mm x 91mm x 55mm (W x D x H) 4.6" x 3.6" x 2.2" (W x D x H) - Weight: 500g (1.1lbs)

Mono Vertigo Bass Guitar Case in excellent condition. Sold: Price £150 delivered (UK address) Hasn't been used in ages and it's not needed. Very solid and comfy bass case.

Sure, it's a Gold series evolution 4, 32" scale, Bart split P and dual coil pups, walnut top. Very light and comfortable and a superb neck. I'll try and take a photo later.

I'm torn between a love of P-basses and 32" scale basses and the 32s won out. It was a bit of an impulse buy but if nothing else it helped me realise that 32"scale is my preference (all my others are 32: a Serek, Elrick and Mensinger). The Elrick has a Bart p-pup in the neck so it covers the p-bass sound too.

I was! I bought it direct from Pandamidi. Good luck with the sale!

Broughton Always On High Pass Filter (https://www.broughtonaudio.com/product-page/always-on-high-pass-filter) £80 postage to UK included A standard Broughton high pass filter with the bypass switch removed. This design allows a more compact layout, fitting on a single pedal board rail, or even mountable underneath a pedal board. The high pass filter is a 12 dB per octave low frequency filter. The knob controls the cutoff frequency and ranges continuously from 25 Hz to 190 Hz. It has the same frequency points as the switched version, but it does not have the frequencies printed around the knob. The stock input impedance is 1MΩ. If you have an acoustic pickup that requires a specialized input impedance, write it in the notes during check-out, and we will accomodate the request at no extra cost. The output impedance is 100Ω. This device will work with active or passive instruments, as well as with other devices such as pedals, preamps, or effects loops. The High Pass Filter requires a DC power supply (not included). The DC supply should be a standard Boss style connector, center negative polarity. It can accept 9 to 24 volts. Higher voltages will provide more clean headroom. The current draw is approximately 10 mA. Dimensions: 3.64" wide x 1.75" long x 1.06" tall Broughton Audio Messenger Jr preamp, eq, HPF, LPF and DI (withdrawn)

Sorry, just looking to sell

Mint Fender American Vintage II 1960 Precision Bass - Daphne Blue. Price £1275 including UK postage. (sold Bought a few months ago, 2023 model. Played a few times only and in as new condition. Weight: 8.6lbs Posted insured with UPS. The Fender® American Vintage II series presents a remarkably accurate take on the revolutionary designs that altered the course of musical history. Built with period-accurate bodies, necks and hardware, premium finishes and meticulously voiced, year-specific pickups, each instrument captures the essence of authentic Fender craftsmanship and tone. The late '50s to the early '60s was a watershed period in the development of the Precision Bass®, a time of transition that would see the introduction of many new appointments that would become synonymous with the P-Bass®. By 1960, the design of the P-bass had eclipsed the earlier cues culled from the Telecaster® - now the P-bass had a Strat®-style headstock shape, comfort-contours, pickguard mounted electronics and 4-saddle bridge. Adorned in 3-Color Sunburst and topped with a 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard, the 1960 Precision Bass represented a more refined, enduring aesthetic for the model. Featuring a premium alder body, Pure Vintage '60 Split-Coil P-Bass pickup and a substantial "C" shape hard rock maple neck mated with a 7.25" radius slab rosewood fingerboard, the American Vintage II 1960 Precision Bass reproduces the quintessential tone and feel of the original. The instruments in the American Vintage II series are direct descendants of the original Fenders: designed for players with a fine appreciation for vintage Fender tone and feel and built with unmatched quality, down to the last screw. These are Fender electrics in their purest form: Fender American Vintage II, the stuff of legends.

For sale, mint condition Fodera Emperor 4-string 33” scale. Withdrawn This was supposed to be my dream bass but I’m not 100% in love with it and it’s an expensive bass to keep when you’re not fully committed. I ordered it in December 2021 and it arrived in April this year. I was determined to keep it but alas, we’re not to be…. No fault of Fodera’s, they surpassed my expectations (particularly with the weight), it sounds superb and plays like you’d expect from a Fodera. I’ll doubt I’ll ever own a better bass. It’s in 'as new' condition; I've barely played it. I’ll post it with UPS fully insured to a UK address; contact me for delivery overseas. If you're near to Edinburgh, you're welcome to try her out (Demeter amp & Barefaced cab). Anyway, the specs are: 4 string Emperor Bolt-on. Semi-hollow (chambered) Alder body 33” scale, 24 frets (large) Buckeye/Holly F on headstock MOP side dots Alder body Walnut curly top 3-peice maple hard rock Ebony board Classic 2+2 headstock, matching Satin finish Hipshot ultralite tuners 17.5 mm bridge spacing, Fodera custom bridge 60’s spacing Fodera/Duncan dual coils, plastic covers Electronics, Emperor 3-band Black straplocks Weight 3.7kg / 8.2 lbs

Effectrode PC-2A Tube Compressor: £210 - sold I’m selling this (again…) as I have four compressors and I really don’t need that many…. 🙄 It sounds lovely. Not much more to add than that really other than it has picky power requirements (12VDC @ 600mA - Centre positive) but comes with a power supply and it can also be powered by most Cioks pedals (with the red centre positive flex cable they provide). https://www.effectrode.com/products/effects-pedals/pc-2a-tube-compressor/ Any questions please just ask.

Shift Line Olympic MkIIIS tube preamp; SolidGoldFX Beta-V preamp & overdrive; Effectrode PC-2A tube compressor. All three in excellent condition, never gigged. Price for all three includes postage to UK address. Photos for all three below the text. Shift Line Olympic MkIIIS: £395 (sold) First up, the Shift Line Olympic MkIIIS tube preamp. Lovely tube sound which can get gnarly with the gan turned up. I love it with a dirty boost running before it (Spaceman Saturn VI) and a compressor in the loop (the Cali76 was the perfect combo here but honourably mentions for the Empress Compressor and the PC-2A below if you really want a pillowy sound). I powered it with a Cioks with two outputs doubled to provide the requisite current (650mA). It comes with an unused power supply too though. There’s a tiny nick on the back highlighted in the photo with the arrow. More info here https://shift-line.com/olympic SolidGoldFX Beta-V preamp & overdrive: £145 (sold!) For me a huge improvement on the older Beta versions, certainly more versatile and allows you to find a less dark OD sound too. Only selling as I prefer the Saturn VI and OE DCX Boost in my current set-up). https://solidgoldfx.com/products/beta-v Effectrode PC-2A Tube Compressor: £210 I’m selling this (again…) as I have four compressors and I really don’t need that many…. 🙄 It sounds lovely.
