  1. [quote name='Tom_Strutt' post='1248221' date='May 28 2011, 01:37 PM']If I hadnt just got a 78 this would be mine.... Its a beaut. the guy that buys this will be so scared to put the first mark on it !![/quote] Thanks! It does look beautiful indeed...and sounds great too!
  2. Good work! I'm really liking the Darkglass B3K too! I'd love to hear what it sounds like when playing fingerstyle, do you have any clips by any chance, please?
  3. Great overdrive the BB Preamp, I've used mine for a long time, many pedals have come and go but this one has always stayed on my board... Good price too...Good luck with the sale
  4. [quote name='tayste_2000' post='1245635' date='May 26 2011, 02:22 PM']Not to get into a debate about this, but this was custom built for me and I feel the urge to bring up the quality of the item in question, yes you are correct on the laws of physics in relation to the electronics. I can only speak from my experience with it I used this box for many years probably over 500 gigs (I had it for the entire time I used my 400+ live and then some time before that in a dual EA amp rig) and never had a problem. I have no reason to lie, I sold this ages ago, I'm not getting anything out of this and I know it's nots caused Paubass any issues either. As far as I know there are no units on the the market that are an A/B/Fx Loop/A/B/Y Box, yes you can buy a Morley for £70 (I assume you're talking about a Quadbox which appears to be £90 everywhere, not even sure if it's buffered I know the basic ABY box isn't buffered) on top of this you also need an A/B box to allow you to switch between the inputs. That in a Morley unit would be the best part of a Pt Mini if not the whole bottom row of a Pt Jr. When comparing it to other units I was thinking Lehle as Morley are crap. I didn't however consider Radial. But that aside lets compare. To achieve this using a buffered pedal such as the Radial you need 2 Twin-City's thats around 280 (over 5 times the asking price and nearly 3 times the new price) quid from what I'm seeing and also gives you the issue of now being able to ABY the input into it. Also takes up more room and 2 power spots. Using Lehle you need 2 Little Duals these range in price but lets call it £300 (again over 5 times the asking price here and still 3 times the new price on this unit) for the pair to be on the low side, again you can a/b/y the basses, you need to press 2 buttons to use the Y function and again 2 pedals, 2 power supplies etc etc. Now Lehle buffers are flawless, stack a million of them in a line it's all good (basically this was the route I was taking just before I moved away from 2 channel amps), Radial pretty good but do I want 2 in my chain? all the time? what about ground loops when daisy chaining all these multi buffers etc. Further more buffers are all well and good unless someone kicks the power cord out on your pedal board and bear in mind anyone buying this pedal will be a hardcore pedal user most likely using true bypass pedals, power goes off and you can still get sound out with the minimal of effort. Unlikely as it seems, it happens and when you have a setup with multiple amps and multiple pedal chains you want to have a quick way to bypass everything asap and carry on playing. Is it possible to build a pedal like this at home, yeah sure same way you can build an amp or a bass or most fx on the market. Is it possible for me to build this at home, hell no that's why I buy things pre made things from people that know how to. There are benefits to having a buffer don't get me wrong (unless you have a Morley) but that doesn't mean to say passive is instantly awful and unusable. I stand by this pedal so much that if you have an issue with it I'll buy it back for whatever you paid Paubass (whom no offence, is not a friend, he's a guy I sold a pedal to a year ago who asked me some simple questions). Hope this reassures whoever bought this and they haven't read the above post and suddenly panicked about their purchase Hopefully /thread[/quote] Thanks Tayste. I don't know about the technical side of things but I can also honestly confirm and assure this box is superb, it does what it's supposed to do and it does it very, very well. I have used this box for a long time with a Mesa 400+ too in many, many gigs in many different venues and I've never had a problem. It has also been used with a two amp setup and again, no problems at all...I think it's a great bit of kit. Also used in studio and by my guitar player mate who's always mentioned what a great thing it was.
  5. Sorry but the amp is only for sale, no trades this time.
  6. I got in touch with the seller asking if it was still available and yes, it was. I said I was also based in London and that I'll be collecting in person and paying cash....guess what?....No reply
  7. [quote name='molan' post='1245183' date='May 26 2011, 08:38 AM']Where did you see it in the first place? Was it up for sale? I'd love to know how much something as nice as this would sell for![/quote] Not a '69 but a '66: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170643772323&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_1156"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...T#ht_500wt_1156[/url] Or you could go for a Japan Vintage Reissue like this one: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250813212524&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_5514wt_905"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...T#ht_5514wt_905[/url]
  8. All PMs now replied, sorry about the delay
  9. Interesting, that Akai was sold yesterday on Ebay for....£665! and a day later it's selling on Gumtree fro £200? ....Something is not right here [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Akai-Deep-Impact-RARE-Bass-Synth-pedal-/260785889437?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item3cb80ce09d#ht_500wt_1156"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Akai-Deep-Impact-RAR...d#ht_500wt_1156[/url]
  10. [quote name='Ou7shined' post='1242687' date='May 24 2011, 10:22 AM']It's so when you split the signal in the Y position you don't get line loss (caused by, in the most basic of terms, half the signal going one way and half the other) and also it provides a separate earth so you can send the signal into two different amps.[/quote] Thanks for the info. I have just sent a PM to Tayste asking him about it. I can tell you when I used it I didn't notice any loss and yes, the signal can be sent to to different amps with no problems. I'll get back to you as soon as I've heard from Tayste.
  11. [quote name='Ou7shined' post='1242666' date='May 24 2011, 10:00 AM']Ooh. Is it buffered?[/quote] Sorry, not sure about it. Let's see if Tayste can tell us.
  12. A bit heavier but I love the intro on Karnivool's "Simple Boy"
  13. For sale is this Pedal Junction AB/ABY Custom Box made for Tayste and that I bought from him a while ago. Basically its a box that has 2 inputs that you can switch between and 2 outputs you can switch between or have both on at the same time. It als0 has an fx loop between them. It has 4 jacks on the top (Input/Output) and 2 on the side for the fx loop. See photos and it will all make more sense. It's a very useful tool and very well built. Ideal for Bi-amp systems or amps with two channels so you can combine them, I used it with my Mesa 400+ and it was great having so many options. £55 delivered or collection from Hove welcome too.
  14. [quote name='Wilco' post='1242368' date='May 23 2011, 10:15 PM']The Gedster is my bass playing hero & I do love my Jazz, however it's not been without its problems..... The tuners are very average - looking to upgrade them to Hipshot B-2's shortly. The paintwork doesn't seem to be that durable - a few more minor dings than it should have for its limited use to date. And then there's the neck - a shocker. Took my local guitar shop an age to adjust the truss rod as it was very stiff even though it wasn't fully tightened if you get my drift, EVERY fret end was sharp - now all very carefully filed back by me, & the D & G strings choke at the 15th fret which my local shop forget to address last time it was in, so it's going in there again. I bought this new in 2006 & won't bore you with the details of why I am just getting this bass sorted now. I bought it from The Bass Centre by mail order & it's the last thing i bought or will buy from there!! Thing is, it does sound bloody good though...........[/quote] I might have been lucky because I have no problems at all with the neck on mine, frets are fine, no sharp ends, it plays beautifully, action as low as you want to go with no fretbuzz. Trus rod works well too, I have mine tightened so there's just a tiny bit of neck relief.
  15. [quote name='Balcro' post='1239846' date='May 22 2011, 12:09 AM']Hi PauBass, This link might help you decide on a choice of strings - just scroll down and try the 4 "flats" sound samples. [url="http://www.atkinsonbasses.com/library/"]http://www.atkinsonbasses.com/library/[/url] Balcro,[/quote] Thanks for that link, it's very helpful. Is it me or the La Bella have the biggest sound? I've been playing for the past two days a set of TIs and I'm very impressed with the strings, I prefer them over Chrome's, both sound and tension, if tension perhaps a bit too low.I Some of you have mentioned La Bella's tension sit in between the Chrome's and the TI's so I'm tryng them next. I just want to make sure I'm going for the right set, please advice me: - The 760FS have much higher Tension than TI's? - And the Extra Light set of La Bella's, the 760FX?
  16. It's been my main bass for over two years now! I upgraded the tuner machines to black hipshot ultralites, replaced the Badass bridge for a black Badass II and replaced the pickups and installed Dimarzio Model Js...the bass sounds superb and the playability is awesome. I'll post a pic asap.
  17. Rotosound Monel Flatwound strings, SM77 40-100 only used for an hour. Only thing is I painted the Red Silks with a black marker as my Fender Geddy Lee has hardware and pickguard all in black and I wanted the strings to match too. The strings have been cut to fit Fender basses and have only been played for an hour, honestly. They sell new for £26. I'll take £15 delivery included.
  18. I sold Mart my Boss CE-5 Chorus pedal. He made the transaction very easy and he was a pleasure to deal with. Thanks and I hope you enjoy the pedal.
  19. [quote name='andyg_prs' post='1238786' date='May 20 2011, 10:21 PM']PM'd you - thanks![/quote] And back to you.
