Bargains: Heads up thread

The single best and coolest expression pedal that ever was. Can control multiple pedals at same time (I have mine hooked to 4).

Not made anymore, Uber rare. Not a bargain but such a cool thing. This is only the second one I’ve seen for sale since I started bass.

Our own @JoshFossgreen has one!

I hear it’s also in charge of finding treasure in the dark :grin:

Honest question. How much do any of you actually use these on bass?

Guitar sure. But bass?

I hardly use any of my pedals… I prefer the set-and-forget approach and having to deal with an expression pedal in a musical way while playing is still too challenging for my brain-hand-foot coordination :wink:

IKR?

Whenever I see either a trem on a bass or an expression pedal on a bass board I seriously wonder if the owners eventually see them as anything but a minor liability :rofl:

Sounds like a neat idea, but unless you really like wah, maybe not so useful on bass

Also, I am just not that experimental in what I play or what sounds I want to create.

You can do some neat experimenting stuff with exp pedals and multi-fx units. In improv I have used exp pedals for toying around with distortion, volume and different effects.

Wah not so much.

I use it quite a bit with the Generation Loss and C4.
One of these days I am going to actually start recording some of that stuff into proper songs. Need my hand back first.

Aw man. @howard is being practical again. Pedals on bass aren’t about all that. I already have plans for a second unnecessary pedal board to go with my first unnecessary pedal board.

I have an outstanding imaginary pedal board.

I still don’t use it.

I was about to order a harmonious monk because playing a dark western figure pretending I’m playing accompaniment to Kill Bill isn’t sounding quite right. But I can see where that isn’t as generally popular as it is with me.

I’ll lend you my imaginary board, @DaveT. It can do it all. I think.

It is colorful, though.

One pedal is small cost to realize a dream, my friend.

I’m on board. I have an EHX Sitar pedal just to play Within You Without You. And just generally trip out.

Hey any forum folks in Japan (which right now is I guess… me and Larry?), decent-ish Yamaha MB-40 up on Mercari for ¥9800. Some finish cracks and a little beat up but for $65 this is a great deal, could use for parts even if junk.

You can routinely find these in very good condition in stores for around ¥20000-30000 so the price is pretty low unless it’s complete junk, which I doubt.

These are neat little basses, I will probably get one someday (been saying that for years).

Just a regular girl needing a date to the prom…I have no room left I’m at the point I’d have to sell to get new and there are none I want to get rid of. Even to the Epi EB3 to the local jam session as anyone’s bass and she was outrageous. She covered everything from Isn’t she Lovely to a 12 bars blues you know the words we are making them up.

Arturia Analog Lab Play (plug-in) is available for free - whether this is only now or for longer, I am not sure:
