    Had this just long enough to realise that again, it wasn't the compressor for me. In extremely good condition, doesn't look like it's ever seen a single gig. No box, alas, but I printed off a copy of the manual which I'll include with it. £40 plus a fiver P&P, or you're welcome to collect. Blurb from a random Reverb listing: "The Digitech X-Series Bass Squeeze Compressor/Sustain Pedal is a high-quality effects unit designed specifically for the discerning bassist. It features a unique dual-band compression system, allowing for separate control over the highs and lows, resulting in a more balanced and articulate bass tone. With its robust build, easy-to-use interface, and ability to maintain low-end integrity while providing smooth sustain and tight control over dynamics, this pedal is a versatile addition to any bass player's setup, perfect for both studio recording and live performance. The DigiTech Bass Squeeze is a dual-band compressor/sustainer pedal developed in collaboration with dbx and designed specifically for bass guitar. dbx's OverEasy compression technology from the 160A compressor pairs up with controls for separate high and low-frequency compression with adjustable crossover, letting you perfectly tune what frequency ranges get squished, and how hard. Get pumping, sucking bass compression or clamp down on slapping attack by compressing high frequencies with the twist of a couple knobs." Youtube review: https://youtu.be/Aeiq0lEL220

    The wonderful late Mo Foster did something similar, following the publication of his semi-memoir "Seventeen Watts?" (published in the US as "Play Like Elvis!"), which incidentally is a great read and I encourage everyone to grab a copy if you see it for sale. Mo was a lovely chap, and his talks were more in the form of raconteur & anecdotist than stand-up. I had a lovely chat with him following his Hungerford show and he couldn't have been more friendly. One of the absolute diamond geezers of our instrument, and much missed.

    Correct.

    Please stick to the topic subject. If you want to write about a completely different instrument, start a thread of your own.

    Well, that's disappointing. I was hoping the 60B+ would be a more effective live tool than the 60B, not a more fiddly one. So it looks like I'll be sticking with my 60B in its dedicated FX loop. What a massive let-down.

      Retailer tells me that it's being delivered from the manufacturer on the 25th. So I now have probably 3 weeks of agonised waiting. Arrgh.

    Sat would be my preference too, I think.

    @BCH Is this still available?

    Supposed to be seeing my kids and granddaughter today, but thanks to a stinking cold I've picked up I've had to postpone. I know that it's definitely the safest and most sensible thing to do. Doesn't make me any less fed up.

    Best: Novation MiniNova synth. Loads of fun. Love it. Worst: TC Spectracomp. I'm sure it's very clever, but it's impossible to tweak settings on the fly. Very definitely not the compressor for me.

    Nice memento , do you still have it? I remember a mate coming back from an early Maiden gig, clutching a very splintered stick with the phrase CLIVE BURR HIT 'EM HARD printed on it.

    Well I think we can all see the glaring error in that wiring. Tsk.

    Back in 1986 some scumbag(s) stole everything apart from my bass and amp while I was loading out from rehearsal at South Hill Park in Bracknell. Leads (cheap and nasty), AKG mic, mic stand, Arion tuner, shiny new MXR Phase 100, the lot. I sincerely hope the MXR exploded in their face. I doubt it though. I bought replacements for most of it, amongst which were the two Klotz cables that I still use at every rehearsal and many gigs to this day. I suppose it's an ill wind and all that.

    Strangely, I don't like it on their basses, or their solid body guitars. But it's absolutely perfect on their jazz guitars, as they have so many other little art deco cues too. If I was rolling in dough, I'd buy one just to hang on the wall.

    That save is superb. You wouldn't know it was a mend. And the finish is going to look awesome.

    Ok, so it's not a bass... but I absolutely adore the art-deco headstocks on the D'Angelico jazz boxes.
