    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.

    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.

    That is absolutely stunning. Good luck with the trade.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Absolutely brilliant pedal! Good luck with the sale!

    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!

    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.

    Congratulations! That’s beautiful!

    It dropped around 1.12pm but they were gone in less than a minute. Hopefully we’ll see more. It’s great that there will at least be more Grand Tarkins in the world.
  15. admiralchew
    They sold out in less than a minute it seems. It’s great to see more of Tom’s designs though.

    Anyone manage to get one?

    *Price drop to £320 + free UK postage* Ibanez SRH500 semi-hollow body fretted bass in dragon eye burst. Comes with a gig bag. I bought this gorgeous semi-hollow bass from Bass Direct last summer and it's a real beauty. It's super light (3.2kg) and has a wonderful upright-bass sound through its piezo pick-up. It's easily the most mellow-sounding bass I have and it's easy to get lost in its silky tone. I’ve just moved though and I need all the space I can get and, if I’m honest, I’m spending most of my time playing 5ers at the moment. It's been professionally set up by a luthier at the same time as the Schaller strap locks were installed. It's currently strung with a set of D'Addario ECB81 Chrome Flats, also installed by the luthier. I've looked after the bass so it's in good condition but there are the odd marks which I've tried to capture in the latter three photos. 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.

    *Price drop to £200* Hofner Ignition HI-BB Violin Bass. Comes with official Hofner H64/VB violin bass case worth £95, Rotosound black nylon strings and Schaller strap locks. It's in absolutely fantastic shape and, following the addition of the official hard case, is very well protected. It's also been professionally set up by a luthier. 2.3kg on the bathroom scales. I’m happy to take further photos and will do my best to answer questions. I’ll knock £20 off for collection in central or SE London but I can arrange boxing and posting to most UK addresses. Inspection possible in SE London.

    Gretsch G2220 Junior Jet II in Tobacco Sunburst. Comes with official Gretsch G2168 gig bag. The bass is in great shape having barely been played, is strung with D’Addario EXL170S 45-100 strings and comes with chrome Schaller strap locks that were fitted by the same luthier that carried out the professional set up. I also own one of these in shell pink, bought from @Happypants, and it rocks. I can’t justify keeping two though and my partner prefers the pink! This is the type of bass that Mike Kerr in Royal Blood used and is strung with the same strings he uses. I reckon I've played this half a dozen times at most so it's in great condition; as far as I can tell, the only slight nick is on the bottom of the bass which I've tried to capture in the final photograph. The original strap buttons will be provided or, on request, can be refitted in place of the Schallers. I’m happy to take further photos and will do my best to answer questions. Collection in central or SE London is preferred but I can arrange boxing and posting at cost. Inspection possible in SE London.

    Interesting! I’ve not heard that before. It sounds a little like a PLL, as ably played by Nate Navarro here:
  22. admiralchew
    Thanks for the kind words, all. @Shaggyand @TrevorR, I’m enjoying the tales of recognition and non-recognition. @TrevorR, the guitarist picked just the right person to chat to you about it. That’s interesting that the guitarist was knowledgable. I rarely expect anyone to know anything about basses.

    Thanks for the tip! I’ll give it a try. I’ve enjoyed using the OBNE Procession for reverb duties. It’s not that flexible compared to, say, an Empress or Strymon, but it’s great at what it does. This thread is not one for avoiding GAS. Thanks guys!

    I think that’s a great shout but they are extremely rare. I’ve been on the lookout for one for about a year and a half and have only seen about three in the wild.

    Oh yes! I think I may even have commented on your dual-channel Moose! That looked amazing! Have you got any demos you’d be willing to share? Why did you go for what you went for and are there other pedals/brands you’d recommend? I’ve only tried the Nomad octave fuzz but I really like it and I’ve been considering trying the Sledge Hammer or something similar. The Sledge Hammer appeals as some of the early architecture seems to have been based off a collaboration with Nick from Dunwich. I like Nick’s circuits, and bought Nightowl, Doesitdoom and Magic Pedals pedals because of his involvement in the design. The Nomad is earmarked as my next IG post. You’re the second person this week to recommend the Lusithand Alma to me and I’ve only seen positive things. The Wetter Bass Channel did a feature on it, I think. His reviews are great, as are Hondo Felder’s. Other companies I’ve got pedals from recently that are a bit more off the beaten track but worth checking out are Kink, NRG, Mask Audio and EAE (popular on here I think). Good comment on Warwick. I still love them though!
