Those polarising figures over at DemonFX have done it again - this time they have cloned the fantastic Aguilar Tone Hammer preamp, and done a pretty good job so have to say. I bought this online on a whim just because I wanted to see how close it actually is to the real thing - and it’s a very close, however once my curiosity was satisfied I really don’t have much use for it, I’ve got a Jad Freer Capo as my main preamp and although it might be decent - it’s never going to replace that 😁 9v or 18v power supply, Parametric mids, bass & treble all boost & cut, and 2nd channel with distortion that goes from very subtle to full on etc - you probably know all this, anyway it does a pretty good impression of a Tone Hammer and if you don’t want to spend Tone Hammer money then this will do a job for you Basically brand new in box, £45 inc delivery I would trade for a Spectracomp or I also need an octave & a chorus pedal or owt else - try me! I can take a photo of my actual pedal if you need me too, but it’s currently far too cold for me to be getting out of bed to start taking photos! That is what it looks like though!👆

BOSS OC2 (Made in Taiwan) Octave Pedal - £85 inc U.K. Delivery I don’t know much about the different versions of these that are available, but this is a made in Taiwan version that says “Octave” (rather than ‘Octaver’) on the front - does the whole ‘Oc2 vibe’ really well 😁 Works great, decent condition but obviously used and gigged - has some Velcro on the bottom that can be removed. I’ve been running it using a 9v battery, but can also run on your generic pedalboard 9v power supply Priced for a quick sale! - **£85 inc U.K. Delivery** PICS: 👇

Lusithand Alma Compressor (v1) *£99 inc UK DELIVERY - absolute bargain - top end boutique compressor for under £100!* For sale is this awesome compressor by Lusithand, this is the 1st version that came out with the side input jacks. It’s a very highly regarded optical compressor inspired by the Diamond BCP-1 and new they cost £239+ and sits alongside other top end boutique compressors like Empress, Cali76 etc - this is a professional top end Compressor It has fantastic reviews, and has a number of features including parallel compression and the unique “EQ Tilt” feature which can brighten up a bass that is too dark/dull or tame the top end of a bass that is too bright, using a dial for the amount and a switch to choose the frequencies being attenuated. This means it can be tailored to suit multiple different basses - this is a separate feature on top of the compression, and the parallel compression - it’s pretty much impossible to get a bad tone from this pedal, it significantly improves how you sound Excellent Condition, has Velcro on the bottom which can be removed - comes in original box, which is as new, and original instruction sheet from Lusithand Priced for Quick Sale - absolute bargain: Reduced - **£99 including UK Delivery** I’ve overstretched myself this month and although I have two fantastic new basses coming in, I haven’t quite managed to make ends meet and so I have priced this pedal at a ridiculously good price (IMO!) so it goes quickly and I can keep the wolves from the door! You will never see a boutique compressor like this for under 100 quid! REVIEWS: - Chris Tromp - ‘Compressor Pedal Reviews’ https://www.compressorpedalreviews.com/post/lusithand-alma-comp-review - Bass The World: - The Bass Channel - Rumblin Man (There’s loads of YouTube videos on this compressor but I’ve just picked 3, it’s difficult to get a proper feel for the flavour of any compressor on YouTube, but you definitely get some idea!)

Bass Centre been around for 40 odd years I think and they’re pretty legendary as far as shops go and that’s probably why, I can’t recall ever having heard a bad word about them tbf - they know what Bass players want and they know how to look after their customers 👍

I want to get the “Powerhouse” as I want to try the Sims pickups - they sounds awesome, but yeh I’ve never heard anything bad about the Bass Centre’s own brand ‘Bass Collection’ basses. If you don’t mind used and you’re after one then ‘Sell Us Your Guitar’ has some in: https://www.sellusyourguitar.co.uk/shop-bass-guitars They’ve got a ‘Speakeasy PJ4’ for £450 (similar to the Nanyo basses they used to do) if that’s your thing. They’ve got a good deal on a Bass Collection “Power Bass” (P Bass) for £315 https://www.sellusyourguitar.co.uk/product-page/bass-collection-power-bass-fresh-cream-4-string-bass-guitar and also a 4 string jazz bass the ‘Jive bass’ (basically the same as the Betsy but without the EMG’s) reduced to £288 which is really good value for money IMO https://www.sellusyourguitar.co.uk/product-page/bass-collection-jive-bass-china-white-electric-bass Im not shilling for them or anything lol, but as they’re being mentioned I thought I’d post them up as they’re great value for money

Blimey - you didn’t half take your time thinking about it 🤣 Ive played a couple of the Bass Centre ‘Bass collection’ basses and they’re really good, especially for the money, I’m sure it’ll be excellent

**Reduced to £450 including delivery** For sale is my Lakland Skyline 55-01 five string bass with Bartolini Mk1 pickups & preamp. Excellent condition - £495 inc UK delivery Edit: Weight (digital bathroom scales method as that’s all I’ve got!) is 4.3Kg which is 9.46lb - it’s not a prohibitively heavy bass at all (I’ve had heavier 4st Fender Jazz’s!) but it’s a 5 string bass, and so unless they’re chambered or something they tend to be north of 4kg This bass is super comfortable to play with the awesome neck you get on all Lakland’s, and the 35” neck gives a great sounding B string. It sounds excellent - you get a decent approximation of a P bass towards the front pickup, more of a PJ sound at centre and then you can go towards the back pickup to dial in some of that funkier sound or all the way back for a Jaco type tone. Decent 3b preamp too which is pretty hot, you don’t need to boost or cut it much to get what you need, but the more extreme end is still useable - full treble cut sounds like the rollback on passive tone etc. This bass is basically a super clean 5 string you can take to literally any gig and make it work - it’s a real quality bass (with fantastic mod potential too! Some great pickups such as Nordstrand Big Stacks & Aguilar Big Singles etc slot straight in!) ***I bought this bass recently from another BC’er and he gave me a really good deal on it - I am only selling it because I have the opportunity to buy an absolutely top end, amazing dream bass at a ridiculously good price and I need the cash. If that bass sells, or I manage to sort something else out in the meantime I’ll take this down, as I would prefer to keep this! I’m listing it for what I paid plus postage, but it’s not going to be up for ages - it’s either going to sell or be withdrawn in a week or 2, and for this sort of bass it’s a genuine bargain!*** ***REDUCED TO £450 (Inc Delivery!)*** (No Trades!)
