Selling my DHA VT-1 Purist valve preamp pedal. Great pedal for adding classic valve drive tones to warm up a solid state amp (it works superbly with my LMIII) or for adding additional boost in front of a valve amp. A quality pedal, hand built in the UK by the legendary Dave Hall, sadly departed. A few cosmetic blemishes but in full working order. Velcro strips on the underside. Needs a 12v centre negative power supply (not supplied). Easily available on ebay, something like this TC Helicon adaptor should do the job https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265191763723. Only selling as I'm now using a VT-1 Pro pedal. Price includes UK postage. Here's the spec and description from DHA: The VT1-Purist-Bass from DHA is a hand built valve Overdrive effects pedal which uses a 12AX7 (ECC83) pre-amp valve to provide true valve tone, the tone generated has to be heard to be believed! The VT1-Purist is designed and voiced for bass players looking for subtle clean to crunch valve tone for blues and rock. There is a “cool blue” back light which acts as indicator for effect on. Overdrive is achieved by using both gain stages in the 12AX7EH valve/tube to generate the classic valve pre-amp overdrive tone It is great with modern solid state amps by adding valve warmth and fantastic with valve amps by overdriving with a true valve signal path. The Gain and Level controls let you select that tone you been looking for! And don’t forget the volume and tone on your bass which will react well with the VT1-Purist-Bass just like a real valve amp/pre-amp. There is an i/p pad pot on the bass version which is useful when using active pickups. There is a true By-Pass Foot Switch. The tone is pure valve/tube, fat and warm and completely different to silicon effects pedals which tend to fizz and compress the signal. Unlike silicon pedals you can use the volume control on your bass to control the amount of distortion you want, just turn it up for the solo. The output of the VT1-Purist-Bass is connected to a standard 1/4" jack for use with an amp, desk or recording set up. The VT1-Purist-Bass runs from a 12VDC 500mA (12VDC 1000mA recommended) supply via a standard centre negative 2.1mm socket. The VT1-Purist-Bass is totally hand built using a quality PCB.

Brand new and unopened set of DR Hi-Beam stainless steel roundwound strings on round core. Gauge 45-65-85-105. Excellent strings but I've moved to a lighter gauge so these are no longer needed. Price at BassDirect is £36 so a decent saving on retail. Price includes UK postage.

Thanks

What does it weigh please and is the body ply or solid wood?

I was going to ask the same question, the Lakland page for the 44-64 pickup doesn't provide any useful technical specs. https://www.lakland.com/product/lakland-p-bass-4-string-split-coil-bass-pickups/

What does this one weigh please?

Unused set of Dean Markley Blue Steels #2679A in original packaging. String gauges 45-65-80-105-128. Packaging is a little dog eared but strings are pristine. These are excellent strings but I've moved to a lighter gauge so no longer needed. Not that easy to find in the UK and quite pricey these days, the cheapest I could find was £44.99 at guitarooze.co.uk. Selling for £25 posted.
