  1. "Tone Mallet", they're absolutely shameless lol, at least they've changed the name if not the livery this time tho. What's the build quality like, are there any grounding issues? Some of the DemonFx pedals I've tried felt like they were made out of recycled coke cans and buzzed pretty loudly when the controls were touched.
  2. Bought a Maruszczyk jazz copy off Mac in a shockingly good deal, he'd not only restrung it with a fresh set of rounds but threw in the original set of TI flats to boot. Mac saved me a good couple of hours off my round trip from Leeds by coming into Newcastle to drop the bass off, we had a great chat over a coffee and the time literally evaporated. Mac's a lovely bloke to deal with, friendly and knowledgeable and replied to all my niggling questions promptly and courteously. Cheers Mac!
  3. Bought a Squier 40th Jazz off of Bobby, not just a great bit of kit at a fantastic price but he went well above and beyond and delivered it to me next day to boot. We had a great chat for a half hour or so, Bobby's a lovely bloke with some cracking stories who's worked with some legit legends, well jelly. Cheers Bobby, very much appreciated.
  4. EHX Bass Preacher for sale, nice straightforward little compressor with controls for the amount of compression (sustain), makeup gain (volume) and a choice of three attack/release ratios. There's an internal trim pot (WHY) to set the parity volume, it's a little quiet by default so I've tweaked it so you're at parity with both dials at noon. Does the job well, if you're after an always-on "thickening" type compressor without any additional bells and whistles this is a good choice. Youtube demo: 60 notes posted.
  5. As-new Digitech Bass Driver for sale, can't find the box but it'll be well packaged. Nice little dirt this, goes from relatively subtle grit at one end of the "Morph" (where's Chas?) dial to ODB-3 style distortion around the middle and full-blown fuzz at the other end. Lots of decent tones to be had from it, and it's not as "fizzy" as the pedals it takes inspiration from. Apparantly has a cab sim on the second output which is accessed by holding the footswitch down when you power the pedal on, but I haven't used that so can't comment on it. Pretty decent demo of the kind of sounds you can expect to get out of it: 50 notes posted.
  6. It's got some old school cool for sure. Maybe a little basic / no frills by modern standards but if you want that 80s - 90s hard rock thump it's got you covered. And standing in front of a Marshall stack (even one that's only just over four feet tall lol) never gets old.
  7. Bought a fuzzbox off James, timely & informative comms and the pedal was delivered promptly in great packaging, cheers James.
  8. Bought a couple of basses off Dave in one of the easiest distance sales I've done. Dave was an absolute pleasure to work with the entire time, comms were friendly, quick and thorough throughout. Did me a great deal on two axes, a pickup and a bridge, and went so far above and beyond with the packaging it's not even funny. Like, I'm pretty autistic thorough when it comes to sending guitars through the mail but Dave went even further than I would - both guitars were compress-wrapped with bubble wrap into containers (the original box and a hard case), which were then further compress-wrapped into larger boxes. There must have been a good 2-3 inches of bubble wrap and at least 2 double-walled cardboard sleeves between the outside world and the axes themselves; they would probably have survived a direct missile strike, the lads in the Parcelforce warehouse had no chance of making a dent lol. He put up with my barrage of nitpicky questions with good grace and put a lot of time and effort into the transaction that he absolutely did not need to, I'm beyond impressed. And the guitars are great too, cheers Dave!
  9. Calm down, it's the solid state versions, no valves here I'm afraid. Early/mid 80's (not sure of the exact year, they were in production from 1983-1988 and the 'R' at the end of the serial number would suggest 1983 but can't be sure) Marshall 5520 bass combo plus the 1934 extension speaker that was made for it. According to drtube dot com: JCM800 5520 Bass, 160W 1×15″ bass combo This solid state bass combo was in production from 1983 upto 1988. It was fitted with a 15″ Celestion G15Z-200 T3629 8Ω 200W speaker. JCM800 1934, Bass 1×15″ 150W 8Ω cabinet. These cabinets were in production from 1983 up to 1986. It fitted with a “specially made Celestion” 15″ 8Ω 150W speaker. This cabinet was primarily meant as an extension cabinet for the 5520 Bass combo. Dual channel combo with a built-in compressor, 4-band EQ on channel A along with a pre-shaped "contour" EQ that does the whole boosted bass & treble / scooped mids thing, along with a 3-band EQ with a different mids frequency on channel B. Comes with a non-original PEDL10013 footswitch (they don't make the originals any more, alas, but any dual latching footswitch will work), without the footswitch connected it defaults to channel A with the compressor enabled, which is the most useful / verstile configuration in my opinon. On the back there are two speaker outputs for 4/8Ω speakers, along with a send/return loop and a 6.35mm DI. Both in fantastic nick, no marks or dings on the tolex and everything's in full working order. Last serviced by Marshall in January 2020 and mostly unused since then, I've seen the internals described as "big 'n' beefy and easy to service". Dimensions for both are 57cm wide x 62cm high x 34cm deep. They're pretty heavy so collection only, the combo weighs 33kg and the extension speaker is a further 25kg. I literally can't get these up and down the stairs any more since I slipped a disc so off they go. 250 notes collected from just outside Leeds.
  10. Yeah, these are mint. You can get a zillion sounds out of them, and even if you don't fancy fiddling with the software the stock ones are all great. The desktop / laptop software is much easier to use than the phone app, but that's down to how many things there are to configure - it's difficult to fit all the options onto the smaller screen of a phone.
  11. That's a fantastic price for an M89, surprised no-one's bitten your hand off for that.
  12. Yowza, that's a beauty, incredible price too. I'd wish you good luck with the sale but I suspect you won't need it, can't imagine this'll still be here come Monday.
  13. Bought a guitar & case off Paul in an absolutely fantastic deal, took a little longer to collect than I'd hoped thanks to trains being out but Paul couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful. Great comms throughout and a lovely bloke to boot, highly recommended, cheers Paul.
  14. Have now got a mahoosive roll of large bubble wrap along with an old bike box, so I'd be willing to mummify this and make a double-walled coffin to post it in for an extra 20 notes if anyone fancies taking a punt on Parcelforce not jumping up and down on the neck in transit.
