A gold one? Beautiful.

Oh hang on, looked online and it’s a faded silver!

As much as I have bad, bad want for the Neve desk, it would be sure to result in less, not more recordings given the endless soldering/contact cleaning/component replacing that would follow the purchase.

places bid

Adding on the additional fees and the postage makes the prices look way less good.

That’s why you need to win 17 things at once

#7269

Or one pedal + one Neve

#7270

Always

Still, if I can get a Minimoog & a 63 Jag for what I’ve bid + hammer fee and delivery I’ll be happy

#7271

26.4% is pretty hefty too.

Can highly recommend the (two) JHS Spring Tank reverbs that are on there too. Mine is always on at the end of my chain. It’s a bit more low-fi than “proper” spring reverb but it’s got loads of useful features - boost, treble boost, second “tank” (so you can toggle it on to go from subtle always on niceness to actual big reverb effect), and an FX loop for the reverb only.

I have made the terrible mistake of telling a pal who owns a big studio on the Somerset/Wiltshire border about this auction house & these auctions

Oh no

It’s alright, he’s promised not to bid on any of the items I’m bidding on

#7277

I’m confused by this - am I correct to think after the winning bid you’ve got to pay 26.4% on top to the auction house?

#7278

Yeah

#7279

Well I didn’t get the Ricky, or the Gibson acoustic :disappointed:

A few of the Martin acoustics went surprisingly cheap though

0/2 so far

#7280

Didn’t get the '63 Jag either

0/3

#7281

@Epimer how’s the Mojo pickups holding up?

#7282

tempted by a bunch of pedals on that auction but can’t work out the deal with shipping costs on top of the 25% fees

#7283

They’re good! The gold foil pickup in the neck is a fair bit brighter than the stock Squier one, so I’m glad the rhythm circuit is there to tame it. Even with the tone all the way down in the rhythm circuit you wouldn’t call it dark though. In exchange you get a load of dynamic control, it responds so nicely to picking hand variation, so it plays super nicely with light overdrive.

The bridge P90 is very honky and shrill clean, but does a brilliant job driving dirt pedals hard. That’s what I got it for, so that works for me. Don’t understand why the middle position is dominated by the neck pickup sound given that the P90 is noticeably higher output, but I’m chalking that up to my ignorance of how things work.

So giving them a 9/10. If I needed a mega dark clean sound I wouldn’t be able to get it anymore, which is why it’s not a 10.

i’d be going for a standard set (maybe overwound bridge) and possibly changing the pots down to 500k, so quite diff from what you have - but still good to hear :slight_smile:
