I"m Michael "Doc" Ray. I'm a(n Alembic) bassist in Redwood City, CA. I play custom fretted and fretless Alembic 5 strings. Both Alembics are powered via an outboard DS-5. It's located on a pedalboard along with various stomp boxes. Here's my problem: I designed a very nice new pedalboard. A guy in New York built it. He placed my pedals, and the DS-5 on the new board. He shipped it to me via FedEx. FedEx lost the board! So, I need at least one replacement DS-5. Mica suggested that I use this discussion group. Does someone have a DS-5 they're wiliing sell? |

Doc, I don't have a DS-5 to offer you, but welcome aboard and happy hunting... they do show up here occasionally and I've seen several change hands through this forum over the last couple of years. ~Toby |

Hi Doc; welcome to the board. I went to your Tres Mojo band site; you have a pretty cool bio! And I'm listening to the tunes now; real nice! |

Thanks to all for the welcoming remarks. I have good news. Fedex located my pedalboard in a dusty corner of their facility at the Oakland airport. They finally delivered my board with everything intact yesterday! But, I still want to search for another DS-5. I'd also be interested in a "hobby box," as Mica called it. (It's a less elegantly constructed, and smaller, version of a DS-5, usually only mono.) So, if anyone has a lead on these items, I'd appreciate a shout. -- doc -- |

Congrats!!!! I would imagine that there may be a few members here who would like to see pics of your board, if you are so inclined. |
