silverfoxnik Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) Hi Folks, I bought this [b]Nomad Bassman[/b] 19" 1U FX unit from the Beedster last year in the hope of rekindling my love/hate relationship with all things bass from the 80s, but sadly it wasn't meant to be!! The Nomad seems to be quite a rare piece of kit and I've looked around on Ebay and Harmony Central amongst other places for more info on the company or the unit itself, but I just can't find a thing about either. Here's some pictures of it in my rack unit which is also for sale [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=45755"]HERE[/url], though obviously, the amp is not for sale: [attachment=23325:March_09_003.jpg] [attachment=23326:March_09_014.jpg] [attachment=23328:March_09_012.jpg] It's pretty versatile, with an excellent Chorus sound, pretty good Octaver, an okay Flanger and a very good Compressor, though it's not subtle! The effects can be used independently or in any combination of the four. Soundwise, using all 4 effects together is just a bit too processed sounding for me, but using the Compressor and the Octaver together can give you some great [b]P-Funk[/b] sounds! Anyway, I'm looking for around [b]£45 + p&p[/b]. Am happy to post or it can be collected and tried out first for anyone who's nearby.. Thanks for looking and, any questions, please just ask!

Beedster Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I sooooo miss that baby and would have it back had I not taken the decision a year ago that I would bever use FX again. Yes, the compressor is overkill, but it is such glorious overkill! The funk sounds that I could get out of this unit were incredible making it more of a bass synth than an FX unit. Bootsy eat ya heart out This is a stupid price (I think less than you paid me Nik and that was a stupid price), and it's a very rare piece of kit so well worth a speculative punt. Chris PS goes without saying that Nik is an awesome guy to deal with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, 'more of a bass synth' sums it up well and it does give a good Bootsy/P-Funk impression! It's a very versatile piece of kit for not too much money as you say... Hope all's well with you; how are you getting along with that lovely fretless Wal by the way? Nik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
