dannybuoy Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) I have a Boss HM-2 for sale. One of the best distortions Boss made in the 80s, now discontinued. It's a fairly high gain distortion that sounds great with bass and keeps the lows well. With the gain up high it does a meaty shredding distortion, and with the gain at minimum it can sound a bit like an old bluesy tube amp ([url="http://www.box.net/shared/uyxppilibz"]as in this clip I made[/url]). Here's a couple of threads of praise for it from Talkbass! [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=404636"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=404636[/url] [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=485234"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=485234[/url] It's in reasonable condition, with the odd little chip and scratch here and there like most Boss pedals of this age exhibit. It's in far better condition than most I've seen anyway! NOW SOLD Edited July 11, 2009 by dannybuoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I have one of these that I used to use in the 80s for recording guitar. I never thought to use it on bass though, I'll have to dig it out of the loft & give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Android Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I concur. Sounds horrid on guitar, but can make some very naughty bass sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerboy Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I have one that is broken in some weird way, and paradoxically sounds RUBBISH on bass but amazing on guitar. Someone should buy this off Danny, ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 By itself, through a clean amp like my Markbass, it sounds pretty harsh. But running it into my VT Bass pedal or put through a dirty Ashdown/Ampeg rig it sounds wicked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerboy Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 "pretty harsh" = perfect sound, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
