Bandive Great British Spring
Bandive Great British Spring
Brand: Bandive
Sorry it's gone. We may have another in stock or on the way. Please enquire below (or check our weekly Gear Update for incoming rarities).
Serviced, excellent condition and full working order. Vintage Great British Spring dual channel reverb made in England by Bandive. This is the stereo version with XLR ins and outs.
A feat of British ingenuity - a pair of Accutronics spring tanks housed in a length of plastic drainpipe...
It has the XLR in/outs (please note that for some reason on these units, inputs are wired pin 1 hot so may require custom-made cables to interface correctly with some equipment) and input level can be adjusted by a small screw dial (some crackling can occur on adjustment after long periods - use or Deoxit will rectify this).
It's been tested, serviced as required and checked for safety and comes with an original 240v Bandive/Accessit power supply (the one that can be used to power up to four Accessit units)
As it is a UK 240v model, it will require a step-up transformer for use in countries with 110/120v mains supplies. We do not recommend using cheap generic Chinese mains transformers and can supply or recommend a high quality UK-made transformer if required.
The GBS has a good long reverb tail and sounds great with guitar - but we've found it really shines as a studio effect with whatever you put through it: keys, synths, vocals, loops, beats... We have one in our studio permanently hooked up to an aux send: has a character that is very had to replicate digitally and sounds great in the mix - almost plate-like (and of course you can always give it a little kick if things are getting too polite during the mix...).

"Excellent equipment, wonderful service. I fully recommend Soundgas to anyone in the vintage gear market and I will definitely be a return customer. The gear itself was exactly as advertised and in great condition."
DAVID WRENCH
“I’ve bought a number of items from Soundgas recently, and have been really impressed with their service. It takes the stress out of buying vintage gear to know it’s been properly (and faithfully) serviced or restored. Their after-sales service has also been exemplary. Highly recommended.”
TOM JOHNSTON
Fantastic. From initial contact to the product landing at my door the service provided was outstanding. Safe and secure shipping, quality serviced product.

"Finally, a company that tracks down all those brilliant curiosities that bring so much character and personality to a studio."

“Imagine the perfect eBay.... with everything you never knew you wanted… and you can rest assured that your vintage and rare wobbly sound device will turn up on time and in one piece and possibly in even better condition that when it left the workshop. Soundgas - literally amazing."
