Big Cali76, bass equivalent of Klon?

[such]

Bass Gallery posted that they have one of the original big Origin Cali76 for sale. Seems to be the then basic version, without the transformer or parallel blend. They put it up for £950. Is this what these sell for these days? Will we mere mortals be reduced to Am*z*n brand pedals soon? 

[Jonse]

Seems a bit much. Most recent big box models sold on eBay went for £325, £510, £540, £588. 

I paid 200 odd for my Diamond and I think even that was a bit much.

A chap on Facebook recently sold a standard big box for over £400 and I thought that was crazy money (even though if I had it, I'd pay it 😂)

Seems itcwas a bargain. I'll stick with my Cali76 CB

aye the prices are now daft. I have the big box with iron core TX wonder what the Bass Gallery would give me for it 😀

Oooh very jelous

[krispn]

Just do what I did - get a Cali CB and pair it with a Hudson Broadcast pedal! Bingo! A transformer based pedal and a killer compressor. I ran that set up for some time but sold them both for the big box TX

Wish I kept my Cali76G now - sort of!

So do I but then we’d never have met 🥰

Trudat - overall the CB is probably actually a better compressor for bass

Heretic alert.

I haven't tried the TX version, but I have tried the regular one and the CB (and a boat load of others).

I take the Boss BC-1X over the lot of them.

Finding you and dishing out justice counts as an essential journey

Anyone follow the JHS YouTube channel? Did a great live stream recently about the klon. 

I suppose once something becomes collectable, it's value as a functional item is no longer the deciding factor

Insane!!

The CB nails the tone of the big box non-transformer version comfortably, having owned both I can't think why someone would spend 4 times more and sacrifice all the board space for the big one.  They're the same!

Transformer ones are different and they do sound different for sure, but still.  Silly money.

And the £950 Bass Gallery one was a standard?  😂

[such]

It was. To be fair I didn't like the transformer version too much, much preferred the neutral tone of the basic version.

That’s fine, you just ran it at 9V instead and it was identical! Save yourself a few hundred quid and buy the TX! 😁

I actually got mine on here for £175, just worried about the future generations 😁

I think this is also starting to happen to a lesser degree to the big box 2 channel Slide Rig
