  1. Now sold. Now £500 for the vastly upgraded bass, the original parts, a Fender hard case and a Fender gig bag, and UK delivery. I bought a lovely Squier Classic Vibe '60s Precision Bass as a project bass in July 2021 and have about £1,000 in it. I'm still not entirely convinced I want to part with it because it punches well above its weight but I mostly play 5-string basses now and I'd like to know somebody is getting use out of it. The Squier Classic Vibe series is known to be a bargain (I have a jazz from the same range too) but I decided to put all the bells and whistles on the P. I set out the specs below but basically everything barring the body has been upgraded by a trusted local luthier that has looked after about 20 basses for me over the years. The original Squier parts will also be provided with the bass. Specs Finish: Sunburst Body: Poplar Neck: Maple Fretboard: Laurel (frets dressed by trusted local luthier in July 2022) Pick-ups: Upgraded to Fender Pure Vintage '63 Bridge: Upgraded to Kickass Bridge Nickel 4 Tuners: Upgraded to Hipshot HB1s Strap Buttons: Upgraded to Schaller Straplocks Knobs: Upgraded to Fender American Tele Knobs Shielding and electronics re-done with materials from Six String Supplies Case: Will be supplied with Fender American Deluxe Bass Case and Fender gig bag (the Squier usually doesn't come with a bag or case) Weight 4.4kg on the bathroom scales Strings: Currently strung with Labella Deep Talking Flats, if I recall correctly It's been professionally set up by the same luthier that made all of the modifications. I've looked after the bass so it's in very good condition. I switched to 5 string basses around the time I got this so it's barely been used. The only mark I can find is a small slightly white spot on the headstock (it's so small it's difficult to photograph but I've tried to get it in the last photo). I’m happy to take further photos and will do my best to answer questions. Collection in central or SE London is preferred (I can knock £20 off) but I can arrange boxing and posting to most UK addresses.
  2. WITHDRAWN - SENDING TO GET IT REFINISHED As part of a slightly convoluted tale, I purchased a 3 Leaf Chromatron from Talkbass for another BC member at the start of this year. We ended up not completing the sale and I already have one (albeit a lot more beaten up) so I'm making it available here for the price I paid. The Chromatron is widely considered one of the best, if not the best, filter pedals ever. It took Spencer Doren 10 years of refining his existing designs like the Wonderlove and Groove Regulator to come up with the Chromatron. For a long while it was my white whale pedal. To see why it's so highly regarded, it's worth watching Zach Rizer's demo: One of the reasons this was a white whale pedal for me, in addition to it just sounding brilliant and being highly flexible, is that they are extremely rare and difficult to get hold of (hence me having to import a used one from the US, with all of the enjoyable import VAT costs that entails). For context, it's not been made in a few years because there hasn't been a manufacturer able to consistently churn out enclosures to Spencer's high standards (and those standards are very high - I've got several of his pedals and his preamp in my bass and all are absolutely top drawer). 3 Leaf have just moved to a new release model so it's not currently on the website. It was still listed two or three weeks ago and the RRP had steadily increased to $499, notwithstanding availability is currently theoretical. Like many of the units, the lettering had started peeling away, although compared to some others that I've seen the lettering is more intact than average. The pedal works perfectly (it sounds fantastic!) but it's not boxed and it's missing a screw (I have a lead on a new one now). Clear nail polish had been applied over the remaining lettering to ensure the controls remained visible (this is more apparent in some lights than others, as contrasted in the first and final photos). Still, it's in better condition than mine, which is currently away having a facelift having shed the majority of its labels, rendering it a CHRCM^TRON and a question of guesswork as to which cable goes where. Please feel free to contact me with any questions (or to chat all things pedals). I've listed this for what it cost me to get hold of it and I'd probably rather keep it than lose out while trying to do a good deed. It is a lot to pay for a pedal - although I think this is one of a narrow category that is worth it - and I'm still a bit uncomfortable asking that much. Accordingly, I'd be willing to consider a trade for one-off Cog pedals, a Cog T-70 or T-65 plus cash or something Star Warsy. I'm also usually on the lookout for Iron Ether pedals, particularly the Dubterrograph.

It's in great condition and will be supplied boxed with all the bits (internal bag, instructions, all the bumpf).

  7. I just sold my Broughton Fliptop to Peter. The whole experience was a very pleasant one: the initial email exchanges were nice, payment was prompt, and the post-transaction conversations were nice too. A thoroughly nice bloke and very well thought of at Basschat for a reason. I would very gladly deal with Peter again and would recommend him to any BCers.
  8. I'd be keen on a mini T-47 too. Admittedly, that's not that helpful a statement though because I'm keen on basically anything Tom produces. I think today's release sold out after about a minute, so a similar time to the Grand Tarkin release. It's great though just to see multiple different pedals in the shop and, while they're sold out, knowing that at least they represent recent releases and continued production. I'm happy Tom's pedals are getting the commercial recognition they deserve too. 3 Leaf released a batch of Doom 2s on Sunday too - I didn't think I'd ever see that and an R-1 available in the same week.
  9. Not that I’ve seen. Facebook contained updates for the last few drops but I’ve not seen anything since the end of March. Hopefully there will be more pedals on the way soon.
  10. I’ve had four signature models, and only one of them was specifically bought because of the artist. That bass also has some features that I really enjoy that aren’t available on the standard model. The other signature models I’ve had are all just excellent at what they do, offered the specs I wanted, and had been well-reviewed on the playability and tone fronts. I likely wouldn’t let the artist’s name put me off unless they’d done something awful (in a non-musical context).
  11. Another cracker. I dread to ask whether you’ve had to hire stablehands to help manage your stable. I always like seeing your basses on here though; fantastic taste. Highly recommended seller. Good luck with the sale!
  12. The Element is one of the most useful pedals I’ve used and, because of that, I have three of them on different boards, including one that is just the Element and an HX Stomp. I find the ability to Bluetooth in music to practice too and the XLR out extremely useful at the end of a chain. I’ve got an ADAM too with similar functionality but the Element is the pedal that gets the most use.
  13. I’ve run my Element directly into a Fender Rumble as it’s the last pedal on my board (and used for headphone practice when I’m not using an amp). I didn’t have IRs on when I used it like that but can’t say what they’d do if engaged (maybe applying to XLR only?). I asked DG a couple of times about running into an amp as there are some funny rules about wattage etc. If I recall correctly the in cable goes in the bottom 1/4 in, and the cable to amp from the upper 1/4 out.
  14. A very fair point! It comes in at 3.2kg (on bathroom scales which overstate my weight considerably 😉). I’m also selling a Hofner that weighs about 2.3kg.
  15. That is absolutely stunning. Good luck with the trade.
  16. Thanks very much; I'm already enjoying it! I actually liked the finish on the website and was initially a bit disappointed when it arrived darker and with a more creamy finish. I don't know what I was initially thinking though as it grew on me almost immediately, and I'm not sure a lighter shade would work well.
  17. I recently sold a bass to Oliver and the whole process was great. Communication was enjoyable, payment was quick and collection was smooth. Highly recommended.
  18. I recently bought a pedal from Dan and the whole thing was a breeze. Communication was good and the item described quickly and as described. Great!
  19. I recently bought an item from Gavin and the whole process couldn't have been better. He's a joy to chat to and an interesting guy. The item arrived quickly and perfectly. No hesitation in recommending.
  20. I recently bought a YYZ Shapeshifter pedal from Bill. What a lovely guy. The transaction was simple and Bill was a real joy to deal with and chat to. One of the nicest people on BassChat and highly recommended.
  21. I recently took delivery of my CLF L-1000. I’ve been waiting a while for it and I’m thrilled with it. I expect the colour won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but I fell in love with it.
  22. I think Magic has done a great job. The DA-120 has always had similar graphics but now it’s got the full colour version of Arik Roper’s Illustration for Sleep’s Dopesmoker album. For what it’s worth, the pedals Magic is producing at the minute are all fantastic. Playing them has got me into doom (rather than the other way around, oddly). I’m glad I checked the settings when I plugged this one in though as everything was set to max!
  23. I thought it would be a shame not to showcase the new DA-120 finish from Magic Pedals. I’ve been excited about this for a long while and it turned up today with a few other pedals that Magic had been kind enough to batch for me. It may well be my favourite pedal finish ever.
