  1. Exactly what I was going to say! However, there may be other alternatives around. For example, I tried one of these - https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07KPBTBZL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and although it didn't quite work for me (the drive was OK, the compressor was great, but the chorus didn't have enough controlability) it may be perfect for you. Buying from Amazon also allows you to return it if you don't get on with it 😎
  2. It would have sold months ago if the seller was prepared to drop the price slightly... 🤔🙄
  3. Until I read this thread, I had no idea that so many of the awesome players who influenced me so heavily were Rotosound endorsers!. I know other people have said that too, but it is such a surprise. Foxton, Burnel, Pastorius, Paton, Squire and Sheehan were all big influences; Mark King, Stanley Clarke, Herbie Flowers and Steve Harris helped to shape my tone and style in ways that I could never have imagined without hearing them. But the daddy of them all, the sound I hear in my head when I think of Roto roundwounds (apart from his awful Wal and Superwounds era!!), and the reason I picked up a bass in the first place back in 1979 has to be Sir Gedward Leee. A tone that can knock down wals (sorry, WALLS) and yet caress the knickers off the Queen. Or even Freddie Mercury. Same thing perhaps? 😎 Aye. Geddy Lee. He'll do for me.
  4. And heading north as we speak... 😎
  5. Seriously tempted to buy this back... 😋
  6. Another top deal involving Mark. The chorus pedal he sold me was exactly as described and posted out to me extremely quickly. No hassle at all. Recommended 😎
  7. I was just about to say something very similar! Impressive, but something about him leaves me slightly cold. Give me Bobby Vega any day!
  8. Neil just bought my (well, his now I guess!) Bass Pod XT. Excellent communications and fast payment made for a seamless and pain-free deal. Highly recommended!
  9. Very interested, but won't have the cash for a couple of weeks. If this beauty is still here then, would you still be prepared to package it for a courier?
  10. Nice! Does this have three-band eq? What is the string spacing, and are you prepared to ship it within the UK?
  11. Outstanding basses these - not just at this price point, but at any price point! They just ooze class and quality
  12. Can't believe it took till half way down the third page to mention them! Tight as a gnat's chuff, whether you like their music or not
  13. Thanks a lot for the quick response! One more annoying question (sorry!) - what is the fingerboard radius?
  14. Is it passive? What are the controls - looks like a stack pot nearest the bridge... And could you measure the string spacing for me please? Looks a little tight for my fat fingers...
  15. Having tried a few, I am coming to the conclusion that bass multi-effects units are great in theory, but just too complex for my limited brain! I only ever use the chorus and compression on them, and I have a decent tuner already.... So if anyone can make better use of this, it is priced to sell. It has a phenomenal range of features, but I just don't need them, or have the time (or interest) to explore them... Boxed, with user manual and all cables. Excellent condition. Recently bought from BC member hestan (whose photos I have shamelessly recycled!), and hardly used. Located in North Tyneside. Local delivery is possible for petrol money, and postage is available at buyer's expense and risk. Happy to look at trades for separate chorus and compressor pedals.
  16. What an odd bridge! What's the string spacing please?
