[quote name='Skybone' timestamp='1474101031' post='3135574'] Managed to cut the collection down to a manageable level, but even though the GAS is almost gone, I still manage to acquire stuff. Even 'manageable' means having a backup. [/quote] Same for me, I've cut down a fair bit over the last couple of years as I no longer play bass in a band (I'm more of a drummer these days) and even though there's almost nothing I actually want... I still end u buying things every now and then. It's an illness I tell thee

Figured I'd best start one of these for Sabs4001 as he doesn't have one here yet... I just sold my Zvex Mastotron to him, quick payment, good quick communication etc and no hassle whatsoever. I'd be more than happy to deal with Matt again and hopefully will at some point

Yes! Great band and any thread that prompts me to listen to this: [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zjW-Rut51o"]https://www.youtube....h?v=2zjW-Rut51o[/url] is alright by me

I bought this on here a little while ago, with the intention of getting my amp tech to get it up and running. I put it on his bench and he said "is that a Markbass? Yeah, I'm not touching that" - So it's not gonna happen! He doesn't want to work with the 'switching power supply' - which he thinks is more than likely the problem (I can't guarantee that it is but that's his best educated guess without going any further). It doesn't power on and makes a faint kind of 'ticking' sound when you attempt to power it up According to him, these are rarely 'repaired' as more often than not, the whole board inside is just replaced. I got a quote from another local company to replace the board at £190! I also contacted the official Markbass service guys (real electronics) who quoted less but obviously I've got to ship it back and forth so it'll be about the same all in anyway. So I thought in the meantime while I have a think about that, I'll offer it up here in case any of you need some spares for yours... or know your way around a Markbass LM2 and want to have a crack at repairing it. I'll post some pics later - but it's in generally well used condition

[quote name='lee650' timestamp='1472728811' post='3123700'] replied to on 24 aug, but reply not read [/quote] ooooops! Sorry mate, not sure how I missed that, I'll reply now -
[quote name='James_Taylor' timestamp='1472684326' post='3123364'] I just bought the dolphin grey model from a selling in Japan for about £400, but it would appear it has gone missing in transit :-( Still waiting to hear the final conclusion on its status from the seller in Japan, but if both he and Parcelforce aren't able to find it and declare it well and truly "gone", I'll get a full refund and take this one from you, and I greatly prefer this colour (and the black) anyway [/quote] Ah man, that sucks! I really hope you manage to get your money back on that, what a nightmare!

Yes mate, still available

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1472018008' post='3117642'] Try Lee650 who has posted in the Wanted forum, looking for a cheap, small synthy fuzz. This would be ideal I reckon. [/quote] Cheers, I've bought something from him recently actually so maybe he will return the favour! Thanks for the heads up, I'll drop him a line now

It seems everytime I bump this to the top I get another interesting trade option... so, to the top

[quote name='Mattbass97' timestamp='1468750629' post='3093032'] Before you venture into the world of fuzz. Do yourself a money saving favour and check out the Big muff series by EHX. Some love them and some hate them but the new stuff like the nano bass big muff does the job. Also for Zvex check out the mastotron (£80 in the classifieds) a hell of a lot cheaper than the mammoth but just as dirty [/quote] +1 to this, I'm not sure if it's technically a fuzz or what... but I have the bass big muff and it's the only 'fuzz' type effect I like. I can never seem to get a usable sound, in a band context, from fuzz pedals (and yet I keep buying them!) which is probably down to my lack of knowledge/understanding but the bass big muff seems to work for me... and because of this I currently have a Mastotron and a Fuzz Factory in the classifieds!

The best octave pedal and compression pedals available. ?
kingforaday replied to bubinga5's topic in Effects
I was really excited to try the Bass Octave Deluxe but I didn't get on with it, too much of a synthy/keyboard tone to it, to my ears... alot of octave pedals do though, like a Boss OC2 I guess. I still use a Digitech Bass Synth wah, cuz I can't find anything that tracks better with a really clean unaltered tone. Depends what you're after though of course. -
PM replied, cheers!

[color=#000000][font=Arial]Crafted in Japan and I think now discontinued (?) t[/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Arial][size=4]his is the ‘non export’ version with scratchplate and control plate etc so more of a classic Jazz bass look. It comes with a Fender gig bag, 'F' logo neckplate and a single Fender straplock.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial][size=4]I'm not sure what this version is selling for these days but I've had a search on here and Ebay and the export versions are being listed around £650 so I'll put this up for the same - I'm always up for trade/part exchanges etc for something interesting (I like Tobias stuff, Musicman stuff, Peavey T40's, vintage Burny guitars) but to be honest there's nothing i'm particularly after at the moment[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial]Overall it's in very good condition (I've taken pictures of anything bad) with only a few little dings here and there, there's a dent on the back that I can't get to show up in photos, it doesn't go through the finish but is noticeable if you hold it at the right angle[/font][/color] [url="http://s128.photobucket.com/user/wishlistrock/media/SAM_0627_zpsimdwy1lt.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s128.photobucket.com/user/wishlistrock/media/SAM_0630_zps2uixrq5u.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s128.photobucket.com/user/wishlistrock/media/SAM_0635_zpsqghpfiga.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s128.photobucket.com/user/wishlistrock/media/SAM_0615_zpsvuoih9ir.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s128.photobucket.com/user/wishlistrock/media/SAM_0611_zpspvdppcdt.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s128.photobucket.com/user/wishlistrock/media/SAM_0609_zpsh4fno98q.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s128.photobucket.com/user/wishlistrock/media/SAM_0631_zpsy2vzk1yi.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s128.photobucket.com/user/wishlistrock/media/SAM_0632_zpskibjmdgs.jpg.html"][/url] [color=#000000][font=Arial][size=4]There are some scratches to the finish by the bridge - presumably when the strings were changed…[/size][/font][/color] [url="http://s128.photobucket.com/user/wishlistrock/media/SAM_0616_zpstv9msv71.jpg.html"][/url] [color=#000000][font=Arial][size=4]There's a dent on the back of the neck which you can see in the pics, although it’s small you can feel it when you run your hand over it so it’s definitely worth me pointing it out.[/size][/font][/color] [url="http://s128.photobucket.com/user/wishlistrock/media/SAM_0633_zpsz4nwufjo.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s128.photobucket.com/user/wishlistrock/media/SAM_0624_zpsioywjts7.jpg.html"][/url] The pole pieces on the pickups area little rusty [url="http://s128.photobucket.com/user/wishlistrock/media/SAM_0623_zpsdnyvdpsn.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s128.photobucket.com/user/wishlistrock/media/SAM_0626_zpscfj4puav.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s128.photobucket.com/user/wishlistrock/media/SAM_0625_zpstetojycl.jpg.html"][/url] [color=#000000][font=Arial][size=4]I had a Fender ‘F’ logo neck plate which I put on just cuz I think they look cool (but I will include the original plain one so you can switch back, if you disagree)[/size][/font][/color] [url="http://s128.photobucket.com/user/wishlistrock/media/SAM_0612_zps6otejllk.jpg.html"][/url] One of the strap buttons has been replaced with a Fender straplock [url="http://s128.photobucket.com/user/wishlistrock/media/SAM_0638_zps2yn6jix2.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s128.photobucket.com/user/wishlistrock/media/SAM_0618_zpsn47u2dmf.jpg.html"][/url]
