Best bass chorus there is IMO hands down,

An absolute bargain to be had by someone here - I bought this very recently off another Basschatter and so I am just selling it for what I paid but I could easily have added £100 to the price and it would still have been worth it I think. These have legendary status, and justifiably so! It’s a 3 channel EQ with parametric mids, a bright switch, a colour switch and also a knob to control the amount of colour (essentially a very sweet tube OD) there is also a boost mode but I haven’t really used it. There’s 1/4 out and also DI out, it does a beautiful clean sound - so fat and warm with amazing clarity, and in colour ‘mode’ you can have as much or little of the saturation as you want to dial in. If you already know what this is I don’t have to sell it to you - if you don’t then give them a Google and have a look at TalkBass etc and you’ll see how highly regarded they are. I wish I could keep it but I’m skint and having a bit of a cull! Comes with two brand new spare tubes too! Grab an absolute bargain - £55 shipped!

For sale is my IK Amplitube Tonex Pedal - this is the full version which includes the Tonex Max software. This has amp & cab captures (rather than models) of very high quality, and there is access to thousands of user generated captures via Tone.net, Also recently there is a new “bass edition” pack out which came out with the mini Tonex one pedal which is available to purchase separately for this model This is a super high quality amp capture pedal - there thousand of different amps with all different types of gain stage, it also has modulation, compresser and tuner as well. This cost £399 new - this is a bargain at £130 shipped - it will come with new product codes from IK Multimedia to register it as a new pedal, and it’ll be all de-registered at my end Pedal is in good condition, it’s had some gigs but no dents or cracks - runs off any 9v power supply, only issue is I’ve lost/used the box! I have sleeve from the outside of the box which I’ll send, but I don’t have the physical box (it was plain anyway I think, with the sleeve around it having all the writing etc on) I have factored this into the price. It’s a really great bit of gear that I’m not using much as I’ve slimmed my main board right down, and it’s the time of year where finances start to bite a bit, so as always I’m letting It go to a Basschatter for a very good price I think - you won’t get much better in terms of capture quality and if you’ve always been on the fence about giving Tonex a go, this is the perfect chance without forking 400 notes out! Price is now £110 + £5 shipping! £115 for a £400 pedal with thousands of amp captures available to you in an instant - they sound amazing as well, have a look around online and a lot of people say it too - there’s not many better or more realistic captures than the Tonex!

For sale is my Master Effects Super 800+ Preamp/DI, it comes in the original box and is in ‘as new’ condition. These are handmade in Canada and can only be bought directly from Master Effects, I paid £210 for the pedal, £55 delivery and about £50 in duties/fees etc so you’re looking at over £300 to go and get on along with a 3+ week wait. The pedal itself is in a very solid metal enclosure and the quality of it is excellent The preamp itself is an excellent recreation of the Gallien Kreuger GK800RB amp, it has a 4 band EQ, gain, master volume and 3 contour switches - low cut (this is mainly used when going to the very high gain settings sith the boost engaged to get the “Rails” tone - allows you to go very high gain without the bass frequencies being overwhelming) mid contour (mid scoop with slight boost of lows & highs) which is a very nice funk/slap tone and high boost (boost of frequencies over 1khz adding ‘presence’ and definition). It runs off any normal 9v power supply - no special high output requirements or anything like that The boost function is a second gain stage which I think is after the preamp/eq - I think that’s what it is anyway! But what it does is basically recreates the famous “Rails” tone made famous in the 80’s & 90’s - you can dial in just a bit so you have a nice biting clean tone with a touch of hair to it so it cuts through the mix, all the way to HIGH gain which sound absolutely epic, and in conjunction with the low cut, isn’t ‘too much’ at all - it really does sound good I’ve had the original GK Plex preamp and a couple of others and this is far and away the best one of the lot, however needs must at this time of year, I’ve got things to buy and I’m using the GK amp sim on my stomp now and running a very small pedalboard on a nano+ and although it’s nowhere near as good as this, it does the job for now, and finances don’t allow me to keep unfortunately as I’ve got bills to pay and Xmas to sort! I am selling this for a very good price as I need a quick sale - this is an absolutely fantastic sounding preamp, genuinely A+ with the added boost function meaning you have the GK Rails flavoured OD on tap as well Price now reduced to £130 shipped!! (This is less than half what it cost me to import it from Canada in October!) Grab a real bargain Video Demo👇(Demo is of the Super800, not the 800+ which I’m selling here - the sound is the same, but on the 800+ you have a footswitch for the ‘Boost’ function which is where you can get the famous ‘Rails’ tone)

This is my old pedal - it’s ace. If it’s still here month end I’ll have it back, no better envelope filter on the market unless you want to drop a mortgage payment on a Proton - great pedal

No probs, they are a big of a marmite brand tbf. GLWTS

Funny you should say that, I’ve just played 2 different musicals on this, and a whole variety of different pub/function/wedding gigs - it’s a bass that fits in perfectly anywhere tbf. The weak point was the electronics - or more specifically the preamp, pickups were fine but single coils don’t work for me - once that’s addressed it’s a monster bass and I don’t think you’ll find a better jazz bass under a grand anywhere

For sale is my outstandingly good Lakland Skyline 55-AJ 35” scale Active Jazz Bass. This is one of the best playing & best sounding basses I’ve ever had, I’ve had numerous comments on how good it sounds, particularly since the pickup & preamp mods,’which has turned it into an incredibly versatile bass giving you the option of everything from thumpy, tone down passive P-bass to Marcus Miller slap, to rear pickup focused funk and anything inbetween. Condition-wise the bass is in good condition - it’s been gigged and isn’t a dog by any stretch but it isn’t a brand new bass - it’s a working bassists bass, supremely high quality and it will not let you down. The only thing that I have to mention is it did get a knock underneath next to the back strap button - this caused a couple of cracks in the lacquer that went around from the stacked knob to the rear control panel. It was taken to a luthier for professional repair and it was fixed & the lacquer was redone, you can see the mark if you look, and if you tilt it in the light you can see where the lacquer was cracked, but it has been repaired and it is smooth to touch. There’s no structural damage and you only notice it if you look for it, however I have to mention it as it’s there and I have factored it into the price SPECS: It has a swamp ash body with a beautiful figured maple top, 22 fret rosewood fretboard & a 35” quarter sawn maple neck with a reinforced head and 2 graphite reinforcement bars. It has the option to string through the body or through the Lakland custom bridge, and 5 hipshot tuners in a 3+2 layout. This bass has one of the best B strings I’ve ever played, only bro g beaten by my Dingwall, but you can get the same clarity on the B string all the way up the neck. MODS: Preamp: The original preamp on these is the cheap Bartolini-licensed MK1 that is also in the 55-01. It had no Passive mode and sounded pretty rubbish. The preamp was replaced with a Nordstrand 2 Band preamp (2B-4C) with Tone control & push/pull for active/passive mode, so the layout is now: Volume/Blend/Tone/Stacked Bass & Treble. Tone control works in both active and passive mode, and if you open the rear cavity there is gain trim pot, where you can have the preamp so it is exactly the same volume in passive as it is when active and totally flat, or it can be turned up by up to 15db. Bass is +\- 12db @ 50hz and the Treble is +\- 12db @ 4khz - I t’s a very musical preamp, not one of those where if you boost it more than 30% it sounds horrendous Pickups: The original Lakland single coil pickups that were in the bass were pretty good, however I don’t play a jazz bass at centre detent very often and find single coil him annoying, and I thought I may as well do it whilst I got the preamp done, so after a lot of researching decided to go with the Anaconda AC5-TN stacked coil pickups, and they sound really great. Loads of clarity and a fat low end - if you give Anaconda basses a look on YouTube it gives you an idea, but they do old school/vintage just as well as modern if you EQ it for that - and they look ace with the big pole pieces too 😁 I am including a nice padded Ritter gig bag with the Bass, and I can post within the UK for £20 with DPD (I have a Bass Direct box & packaging from the last bass I bought from them & it will be extremely well packaged). I am selling as I have seen something I want, so I am putting it up for a very good price with a view to a quick sale, however I’ll likely pull it and keep it if what I want to get is sold Reduced Now £750! (inc Gigbag +£20 for UK shipping)

Medium scale or medium gauge?
