silverfoxnik Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) Hi Folks [b]**SOLD**[/b] This is a bit of a reluctant sale because this is such a great sounding piece of kit, but with a Hughes & Kettner pre-amp in my rig now and a Hughes & Kettner amp coming my way, I need to make some sensible bass-related decisions for once!! The short story is that I bought this on Basschat last August from stevie. with a view towards linking it with a power amp and my SWR Triad.. But for various reasons, that hasn't happened. However, I have used it for a few gigs in front of the valve channel on my Eden Metro and it's fabulous; particularly with a passive bass like my Roscoe Beck. It gives you real control in terms of matching input volumes & also, really fine control when e.q.-ing, which is why it's probably seen more often in a studio set-up (like it is on this page [url="http://www.whitewaterrecording.com/equipment.html"]here[/url]). The eq on the Eden is pretty comprehensive but I actually think this is better and more transparent. There's a link to stevie's original For Sale thread [b][url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=99075&hl=pre+amp"]HERE[/url][/b] It cost me £90 including shipping plus I had it looked over by my amp chappie when I got it, so I'd like to get that back if possible, hence a price of [b]£110 ono + p&p[/b] Here's some pics: [attachment=74519:Enable_M...ures_150.jpg] [attachment=74520:Enable_M...ures_152.jpg] [attachment=74521:Enable_M...ures_155.jpg] And some stuff about it on that there inter-web: [url="http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=263031"]The Gear Page[/url] [url="http://www.globalbass.com/archives/apr2001/ed_friedland.htm"]Global Bass: Ed Friedland[/url] [url="http://ccmixter.org/files/thespiritoflight/18845"]Soundclip[/url] [url="http://acapella.harmony-central.com/showthread.php?1875918-Furman-PQ-3-Parametric-EQ"]Harmony Central discussion[/url] The nearest thing I can find in terms of similar products on Ebay is this [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TC-Electronic-1220-Parametric-EQ-/260744906043?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Outboards_Effects_MJ&hash=item3cb59b853b"]HERE[/url] Any questions, please PM me and just to say that I'm happy to post anywhere though I'd recommend insured and recorded mail..and if you're local and want to try it, then you're very welcome to come and do that and have a cuppa!

Kiwi Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 what a fantastic piece of kit, literally a swiss army knife. I'd have your arm off if I didn't already have a stereo parametric eq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're never going to have more control over your tone than one of these babies will give you. The Bandwidth pots just gives you so much control. I remember being knocked out at how I could completely change the sound of the bass I tried it with, over and over again, but it always sounded great! Good luck!

I'm okay thanks...just got divorced though so had less time (and money) for all things bass and for Basschat.. But looking at what's happened in Japan, you have to have a sense of perespective about life really don't you?

Yes - it really is a fine piece of kit and IMO, especially for this sort of money.. I paid more for an Aguillar Tone Hammer than this is going for and yet this does so much more for your actual tone!

silverfoxnik Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Chimike was the chap in question. Have to say that I much prefer selling something face to face (as opposed to posting), so you can have a cup of tea and a 'bass chat' as it were..
