PETE CORNISH DB-1 BASS DRIVE PEDAL WITH BOX AND MANUAL – AS NEW
Rare and barely used BD-1 Bass Drive Battery Free Pedal made by Pete Cornish , with Original Box and manual. The BD-1™ is not a variant of any existing product but a completely new and original design. Initially designed for Bass Guitar, the BD-1™ has also proved very popular with Baritone Guitars and dropped tuned Guitars when heavy overdrive is required at the lower frequencies of these instruments. With Germanium components for added musicality this new design features full Bottom-End retention and is flat down to below the bottom B on five string basses. The tone controls are very powerful and feature an active boost and cut with a combined range of 34dB at maximum settings. Being active, the two tone bands can be both cut and boosted as desired with the zero or neutral point being 12 o’clock on each control knob. I have included a second linear boost stage after the tone circuit to compensate for any reduction in overall volume when the tones are in “cut” mode. The benefits of this active tone circuit, compared to the usual passive (Cut only) tone circuit is that the two bands are completely independent and there is no interaction between the Bass and Treble tone controls. An output Master Volume is included to allow for perfect matching between bypassed and overdriven and EQ’d signal level and there is plenty of signal headroom available to overdrive amp inputs if required. My well established Class A input buffer and radio frequency suppressor is, of course, included and the output buffer impedance is low to easily drive long cables or other loads without loss of signal or tone. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Overall boost with Gain = 100% and Volume = 100% is +55 dB {Reference: input = -52dBm(V) and output = +3dBm(V)} Overall boost with Gain = 0% and Volume = 100% is +19 dB {Reference: input = -16dBm(V) and output = +3dBm(V)} The above with Bass and Treble set to 50% (Neutral point). Bass Control range +16/-13dB @ 30Hz Treble Control range +12/-18dB @ 3KHz Maximum signal output with Volume 100% is +10dBm(V)/ 2.5vrms/6v Peak to Peak (at clip point) FEATURES: High Impedance RFI rejecting input and bypass buffer. Each unit is hand built, wired and tested by Pete, Lynda and Mingus Cornish. Housed in a Rugged Die-cast box with easy to set Number Knobs. Heavy Duty all-metal footswitch with Hi-Brite LED. Dimensions: 145 X 95 X 49 mm
1985 RICKENBACKER 2030 BASS IN RARE BLUE FINISH WITH HARD CASE
A very clean example of one of the rarest Rickenbacker model, the short lived 2030.
This particular one is a really early example and comes in a factory rare finish too.
Made In the states with serial dated 1985 and pots 1984.
Plays beautifully and it’s in very nice condition, all original with just a couple of superficial marks on the body and headstock.
I have never had the pleasure to play one as they are quite hard to find and this one definitely didn’t disappoint.
Phenomenal player and great collector piece, this beauty is ready to take the stage for the next 40 years.

1969 AMPEG SCRAMBLER FUZZ PEDAL
A Blast from the past, the original Ampeg Scrambler Fuzz from 1969 in amazing condition and with an unreal sound. This is one of those 2000 units from the original run from 1969 . This one is all original beside a new foot switch and an added 9v barrel to easily connect it to your pedalboard power supply without having to munch through too many batteries. 1969 saw two, now classic fuzz pedals make their way onto the scene; The Electro Harmonix Big Muff and the Ampeg Scrambler. Both had a loud and aggressive sound which was perfect for filling up any jumbo-sized arenas, and standing out among all the thin and raspy first-wave-fuzz’s from a few years earlier. Although the Big Muff is probably the single most popular distortion effect of all time, the Scrambler was so unique and forward thinking that it deserves its own spotlight… A little history about these rare and iconic pedals: Already adept at making amplifiers, Ampeg was going for big changes in late 1968 when they set out to build “the most powerful amp ever made!”. Jumping from their usual 50-watt setup to the titanic 300-watt, tube filled machine called the SVT, they were now ready for the Summer of Love. In addition to this monster, they decided to jump on the fuzz bandwagon and release the Ampeg Scrambler in early-1969. It is rumored that only around 2,000 units were produced. Where the Big Muff went for a fatter, thicker amp-like tone, the Ampeg Scrambler boasted a huge upper-octave fuzz circuit. And although similar fuzzes were available by 1969, including the Univox Super Fuzz, the Octavia by Roger Mayer, and the Fender Blender, none had the overall raw character or versatility of the Ampeg Scrambler. With the ability to go from a burly Muff-style overdrive to an all out octave splatter fest, there really was nothing like it.

1983 Warwick Streamer Bass – Rare Paddle Headstock – Serial #103 – With Warwick Flight Case
A real gem and a must have for any Warwick enthusiast, this 41 years old Streamer is one of the early “paddle headstock” ones with the original design, before the german company change the look of it after having issues with Stuart Spector.
Only the first 300 streamer made came out with the paddle headstock and after the first 150, Warwick added ”licensed by Spector” on the trussrod cover to avoid issues with the American Brand.
The serial number on this one is 103, and has a phenomenal neck and weight (3.5kg), making it super comfortable to play and the original EMG pickups have a growl that would make the crowd rattle their teeth.

1984 Fender Squier Bullet Guitar – made in Japan – With original rare hard case
Clean 1984 MIJ Squier Bullet guitar in excellent condition. This 40 years old guitar was made in May 82 and it’s still in great condition showing the amazing quality these 82-84 early Japanese fender are known for. The Bullet series started its life as Fender USA model in 1981 and soon production was moved to the legendary Fujigen factory in Japan where they built the Bullets under Fender’s Squier brand. The Bullet was available with different pickup configurations, this one with the classic Strat 3 single coil configuration with a 5 way switch and a twin Humbucker “H2” version with 2 Fender Humbuckers. Great versatile guitar with nice round neck profile – much fuller than the thin and sharp edged early 80s USA necks. Comes in original rare Fender squier hard case.
1981 Fender Precision Bass in Rare Cherry Sunburst Finish
Amazing finish for this 43 years old American Fender Precision Bass. The ash body shows a phenomenal wood grain and the tone is absolutely monstrous. Great neck profile with frets in great nick and trussrod fully functional. The original pickup and pots are dated 1981 and in perfect working order . Not too heavy, especially for a late 70s, early 80s. The pickguard had a series/parallel switch installed but I have rewired the bass to specs and now is just a “producer switch” like the one from Leland Solar. Bridge has been replaced with a New reissue one and most of the pickguard screws are new but everything else is original . Great player and beautiful looking instrument.
