  1. Funny enough I was just watching a video on 4 cable method which said modulation and delays to be in fx loop. I’m going to try it. After I try the chorus at end of chain - though if I go ampless it’ll have to go back into before mxr Di
  2. Nah keeping it. Be a good back up Lovely looking and good playing 2021 SX vintage style p bass with SX gig bag very light - no scales but about 7lbs much less than my jazz. Full scale 34 inch. nut 42mm chunkier neck but not baseball bat. Absolutely no fret sprout - this Chinese factory are going the extra mile for SX - amazing quality for the price. Strung with flats but probably can find some decent rounds too Possible great mod platform but pretty good as is. Make a good spare or knockabout was in need of a good set up when I got it. Cleaned and Have tightened everything up, given truss rod half a turn, intonation 98% there now. prices to sell at £135 plus £12 postage to uk. Or possibly trade for jazz SX or Squier Jaguar or maybe a semi but 34 or 32 inch
  3. Thanks sir I'm getting noise after chorus which is after compressor - which when i add the MXR at the end (so boss tuner/ Seymour Duncan compressor/ EHX chorus/ MXR preamp di) then i have hiss from treble on the chorus - without the MXR it's great no hissing - the MXR was an afterthought and doesnt hiss on it's own - but i need chorus for 80s stuff i'm doing at mo -
  4. Hiya I meant about going into the balanced line in on the top of the MB (it's a CMD121 combo) from my pedalboard to reduce noise then use the amp's DI to go to front of house - that is when i'm using the amp - i was just wondering if using a Preamp into XLR in on MB would cause any problems? ta
  5. Hi All Mark Bass manual isn't clear - but the balanced line in - i take it it's for double bass inputs but could you take DI output from MXR Bass DI into balanced input - i'm guessing this doesn't bypass the power amp - instead you'd need to use the FX send and return to bypass the power amp I think i answered my own question but wanted to check the bass brain whats best as i want the pedal board to be the source of my sound and the Mark Bass to be a monitor which i can use or not use if i choose ta in advance - my tiny brainand lack of MB details on manual doesnt help
  6. Great pedal as you'll all now, it's only about a month old - just going down different route - so surplus to requirements - has velcro on bottom Here's what MXR say about the Bass Preamp The MXR Bass Preamp combines a pristine bass preamp with a studio-quality Direct Out in a Phase 90-sized box, providing clear tone without hogging precious pedalboard space. Use it to add a new voice to an old passive bass, sweeten up any amp, or put some special sauce on a particular song. Dial it in just the way you want it and send it straight to the house-pre or post-EQ-with the built-in Direct Out. The Bass Preamp features separate INPUT and OUTPUT level controls and a 3-band EQ section with sweepable midrange-from 250hz to 1khz-for extensive tonal flexibility. It's all delivered super clean with high headroom thanks to our own Constant Headroom Technology, and you can use the PRE/POST EQ switch to set whether or not your Direct Out signal is affected by the Bass Preamp's EQ section. And of course, the Bass Preamp features a GROUND LIFT switch in case you encounter ground loop hum. The Bass Preamp is factory preset to operate in 1/4" out buffered bypass and Direct Out active. For players who only want to use the 1/4" out, there are two internal switches that disable the Direct Out and 1/4" out buffered bypass for true 1/4" out bypass mode. £125 posted in original box plus bubble wrap and outer box to UK
  7. Yes certainly one of best pedal compressors I’ve used.
  8. Cheers yes. Very useful and quality
  9. Going the Katana head route new MXR bass preamp -£130 new bass clone chorus £40 Semour Duncan studio bass compression £120 board £15 Bag £5 PSU with daisy chain £10 Or all for £250 plus £10 post to uk - no offers please as priced to sell individual pedals boxed and posted £5 each
  10. I’ve gone with MXR 81 as although I use my mark bass the time controls will be handy to go ampless - or just di to desk from MXR and use amp as monitor
  11. Thanks but have bought the MXR new from PMT as it’s the one I chose and surprised Gwiz did too
  12. The Getz helping out here. Insane amount of pedals think just going to get the MXR in my price range and that, the radial and the Sushibox sounded great to me. In any near me price range
  13. This looks interesting too https://www.withbassinmind.com/the-pedal Phil Mann endorsed
  14. I saw the Radial in a shoot out with Noble and others that American lad did - that looked good but Tonex One sounds good to check out.
  15. Great I’ll look at Tonex definitely
  16. Howdy DIs seem to now have all bells and whistles- I have a very simple board - tuner, Seymour Duncan Bass Compressor, chorus - I’d like a decent very simple DI - I can’t afford a Noble, I don’t do enough gigs to justify but I like it’s simple 3 button unit - but in studios I’ve used Reddi DI - so does anyone have any recommendations? up to 100-200£
  17. New pedal - has led lights and multi functions to sculpt compression
  18. This has got a nice feeling neck - it’s got some heft to it - I played the JMJ and I prefer this neck - but I put Alnico 5 pups in this to get the bite the JMJ has - but no worries a JMJ is a good bass - though I think this is better but short scale isn’t for me hence sale
  19. Hi it’s 38mm. Balances nicely on a strap - I usually use a suede strap so just found an old embroidered strap and balances perfectly
  20. 8lbs - nice and light and yes it’s a cracker
  21. Reluctant sale but needs must-ang ha CIJ Fender Mustang bass - serial number comes up 1994 (and was bought by me advertised as 94( but CIJ started 1997 - so Q should be 02-04. Then again apparently there were some CIJ used as a crossover- so It’s either 22 or 30 years old - anyway it’s a cracker. Sanded and waxed body (bought like this) gives it a really beautiful aged look and very resonant, set up with brand new TI lightest guage flats - so very low tension - I’ve also had the neck gloss sanded off and olied by luthier pal - super fast to play. I’ve had him install hand wound Northern Pickups vintage Alnico 5 pickups (like the JMJ) which came on a parchment guard (original tort guard will be included but not original pickups)- 7.6 k - lifetime guarantee- which has given it a bit more bit than old stock ones - please note that the thumbrest isn’t installed on the new pickguard Has a kiog0n solder less loom bought on here from the man himself - with wooden knobs (original blank ones will be included) I first reported an issue where I thought shielding might be needed. Turned out to be a faulty bass pedal as issue was with jazz bass too - now it’s fine again Comes with fitted gig bag which is a good fit. Price is lowest I can let go for to claw back what I paid plus the money I’ve thrown at it. Easily better than the JMJ neck and feels very much like the 76 MIA I had. Collect from Clitheroe or will meet up within 30 miles for petrol or £20 posted to UK only
  22. Sold some strings to Dave - fast payment, good communication 👍👍👍
  23. A couple of days old - I play flats and just not for me. Super zingy and harmonics for days - The E string has been cut with about 5 inches of wind left - rest not cut £25 posted- grab basically a new set for half price I don’t want to think about the money I’ve spent on new strings esp TI flats 🧐
  24. Long scale 43/56/70/100 (packing is from my new short scale light age) Cut for a Gibson style headstock with 2-2 configuration will also for through body short scale or should fit medium scale top loader price including postage
