This has been my spare amp for a while - have had it since new for a couple of years, but its seen very little use. It's a really decent little amp in great condition. The passive/active switch is labelled the wrong way round, which is a "feature" of many of these amps, but it works fine. https://www.tcelectronic.com/product.html?modelCode=P0CQS for all the blurb Postage can be arranged at cost. Cheers for looking! -
Saturnworks three way bass splitter - £70 posted
robiredale replied to robiredale's topic in Effects For Sale
Happy to listen to offers on this -
Apologies and well spotted! The packet is correct and these are super long. Thanks, Rob -
As per title - brand new set of strings I don't need anymore! Price includes postage.

It's a three-way active signal splitter - the bass-specific version. It does what it does very well, without fuss. In excellent condition. Given the pathetically weak pound, these are currently bonkers money, not to mention the long wait times. You can skip all of that by buying this one instead! The price includes postage. Manufacturer blurb: Split your signal up to three ways without tone or level loss. The Saturnworks 3-way active splitter uses four separate buffers, one for each output, to ensure that the signal on each of the four outputs is strong and clear. The 3-way splitter can also be used as a 2-way splitter, with the extra capacity there if you need it. The Saturnworks 3-way active splitter is handcrafted in the USA with the highest quality components available. The active 4-way splitter runs on standard 9v DC center negative power with a Boss-type 2.1mm power jack.

Darkglass Vintage Microtubes, great condition. Bought from @admiralchew fairly recently (July?), not made it onto my board long term so moving it on. Does what it says on the tin really! Its a very good unit with some great tubey sounds, but I've other pedals that are very close to it. Comes in its box with manual etc. Free velcro attached to back of pedal Darkglass Blurb Cheers for looking

Here's a lovely, very distinctive Ibanez SR1400, in Mojito Lime Green. I purchased it brand new from Andertons in 2019. It's in very good condition, it has been gigged a few times but always well looked after. Some minor player wear on the pickup covers, no chips, dents or dings that I could find anywhere on the guitar. It comes with a fitted Ibanez semi-hard case. Its really nice to look at and sounds and plays great (neck in particular is great), but I have no need for it currently. Some specs: NECK: Atlas-4 5 piece Wenge/Bubinga neck with KTS TITANIUM rods SCALE: 864mm/34" BODY: Figured Maple top/Mahogany body FRETBOARD: Rosewood FRETS: Medium frets with Premium fret edge treatment NUMBER OF FRETS: 24 BRIDGE: Mono-rail V bridge (19mm string spacing) PICKUPS: Nordstrand "Big Single" 4 neck pickup (Passive) EQ: Ibanez Custom Electronics 3-band EQ w/EQ bypass switch (passive tone control on treble pot) & Mid frequency switch HARDWARE: Gold NUT: Graph Tech BLACK TUSQ XL nut Located in Peebles, Scottish Borders, but open to postage (at cost of buyer). Any questions please let me know.

I bought a Sandberg bass from Graham. Communication was great, he helpfully answered questions before I bought it. The bass itself was exactly as described, very well packaged for transit, and was posted promptly. Thanks Graham!

Thanks for the reply - that's really helpful. I've got the DG tone capsule in a couple of other basses, which is what initially caught my eye with this one. I really like it, especially good for metal but actually it works for a wider range of music than you'd expect. The hi-mid knob is a shelved boost, so as you say, the pre can do trebley tones even without a "treble" pot. It sounds as though the Darkhawk has had a few mods from the Nighthawk to make it even more characterful. I do wonder if this is a little bit at the expense of its versatility though. Maybe a Nighthawk would be a better fit here, since I've already got the two DG-equipped basses. Or something else entirely! Decisions decisions. Thanks again!

sorry to hijack the thread briefly, but i'm wondering about buying a Sandberg. A five string Darkhawk. anyone got an experience with them? there's not a lot of feedback online about them. cheers!

If you like the B7K sound its a great pedal and very easy to dial in that tone. But if you don't like that B7K sound, you're a bit stuffed with it. The XU is way more powerful and versatile than the B7KU, but less intuitive based on my experiences with both. If your XU is for sale for a good price I'd expect you could punt it on easily enough if it didn't work for you.

I've got one of these. I mostly use it for playing metal. The EQ points (which are fixed) are typical of most Darkglass products, so aimed at a more modern sound. However, like many Darkglass products, whilst its marketed at heavier genres, its really versatile if used correctly. The key to using it as you're suggesting is to reduce the input level. They're super sensitive to this, and with most basses I've tried (fairly modern, active ones from Dingwall, Ibanez and Yamaha) going straight into it gives a signal that is too hot to access the low gain and clean capabilities that the pedal has. It has the ability to increase output by up to 12db to compensate for reduction in input gain, so any loss of volume on the way in shouldn't be a problem in that sense. The cab sim can only be run through the XLR out, its off all the time from the main jack output. If you're still not sure you could try downloading a free two week trial of Neural DSP Parallax. Its essentially a software emulation of this pedal (not quite 100% faithful, but close), and gives you a very good idea of what the pedal is capable of. Hope that helps!

I was going to suggest Quilter too, I've got a Bass Block 802 and its excellent. Nice tone by itself, but also plays very well with external preamps if that's your thing. Pretty sure I got mine from Wembley Music Centre.

Ibanez SR500... different sound - new pickup or preamp?
robiredale replied to ReeV0's topic in General Discussion
I've got an SR 5 string, a 655 maybe? It's got the Nordstrand-licensed PJ pickups. I replaced the stock Ibby preamp with a Darkglass Tone Capsule - night and day difference. But then those pickups are decent to start with in my opinion. I have another SR bass, a 4 string with Nordstrand big singles and the stock Ibby preamp. Sounds good too, but out of the two, I prefer the bass with the upgraded pre. Totally appreciate what you say about the £ required to replace both. -
Bought two Darkglass pedals from Mike, a VMT and a Harmonic Booster. Communication was excellent, postage prompt and the items well packed and exactly as described. Would not hesitate to deal with him again. Cheers Mike!
-
big fan of DG stuff. one of the things that makes me like their pedals is the amount of adjustability on offer, and therefore flexibility for different tones, guitars, genres, playing styles etc. this makes that more difficult to access. so of no interest to me. but this is clearly aimed at someone who doesn't adjust settings often. i guess they keep making distortion pedals because people keep buying them! not the first company to do that...
-
Morning, if the Harmonic Booster is still available I'll take it please. Also, notice you've got a few other pedals for sale. If you could do a combo deal on this and the Vintage Microtubes I might be able to take that too - let me know. No problems if not! Cheers, Rob -
I bought a Boss LS2 pedal from Peter. He's very friendly and quick to respond to messages. He posted the pedal exactly when he said he would. The pedal is exactly as described, and very well packaged. I would not hesitate to deal with him again. Thanks Peter!

Scott's Bass Lessons technique accelerator
robiredale replied to nekomatic's topic in Theory and Technique
i did it last year, a bit monotonous some weeks but got a lot out of it. i also refer back to the material from time to time. some of the exercises are really very good. as someone above said, im sure most of it can be found elsewhere for free, but i still think its decent value. -
happy empress bass compressor user here. it does transparent compression extremely well, is very adjustable, has two colour circuits if you'd like a bit of, well, colour, and packs in some other features that some other pedals don't (the sidechain hipass filter is extremely useful for me). also the leds on it are very easy to read so you can exactly what its doing. they're bloody expensive though, and you can definitely get something very good for less. the mxr seems to be very highly regarded. i have a TC spectracomp and its a very unique and interesting pedal with a massive bunch of tricks, including multi-band, which is really cool. but i just prefer to have knobs on the pedal.
