dannybuoy Posted March 15, 2009 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

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted March 23, 2009 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.
Tom Android Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I concur. Sounds horrid on guitar, but can make some very naughty bass sounds.
dangerboy Posted March 23, 2009 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.
dannybuoy Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) Just spent the evening doing some heavy riffing with this pedal and have decided to hold onto it! Edited March 23, 2009 by dannybuoy

[/quote] I've got one in similar condition for sale for £30 posted, mainly because it does nothing for me tonally on bass!
dannybuoy Posted March 24, 2009 Author 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!
dannybuoy Posted July 11, 2009 Author Posted July 11, 2009 Back up for sale folks, also added a low gain clip and knocked a fiver off the price, so only £30 posted now!
dannybuoy Posted July 11, 2009 Author Posted July 11, 2009 And sold to the man with the pointy Sauron bass!
sturm Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 id like to point out that i dont actually own that bass, i just like the look of it
