CatsAndTrees 1st Year Anniversary

First of all , i did like to thank Glenn for his generous support for the past year and the years to come. Working with Singapore Mint in 2006/2007 as a clerk did spark off a curious ambition to bring in gear from other parts of the globe to Singapore. Subsequently , the opportunity to help WMUM clear the 1000+ pedals did come along before the closure of the shop. But of course , dealing for David from Ebenex was the cornerstone of Catsandtrees, a great joyful experience so far. Thanks David! :D

Lets Party!

Fender 1960s Jazz Bass

"This bass I have gigged with and have been blessed to be able to 'chari makan' with it, meaning support myself through school through the gigs its played for. The fretboard is one of the most seasoned rosewood's (same with the gorgeous maple neck) I have seen and the whole neck and body resonates when played. Big fat bottom for vintage lovers, reggaemen, jazz/blues' men, James Jamersons alike. Unfortunately this has to go to make way for a another 'chari makan' bass."

*A piece of history
*Slim neck for easy fret accessibility
*Rich harmonics when bridge pickup is in use with a dash of drive
*Sweet growl when you dig in "Cut string"
*Professional setup by Malcolm from MTlutherie

***Upper frets (15 fret and above) don't work

I have personally tried this with the MXR Line driver and was astounded with the other hidden tones embedded in this old soul. Though fretted, this bass fills the room with its bell-like clarity similar to an upright bass.

$1200 a steal compared to the other vintage fender basses on EBAY!
Drop me an email if you did like to hear it in action.









*SOLD to Melvin from EIC.

SansAmp GT2

I truly love the GT2 , a distortion swiss knife. Anyway Glenn from Surreal had this with him back in 2006 and 2 years later , i had the chance to mess around with this monster before it was sold to a friend of mine. Often described by me as the AVA ( A Vacant Affair , a major influence in my guitar playing ) pedal simply because it nails the tone of the guitar trio quite accurately on the self-titled EP. And of course , the tweed/clean dip switch setting satisfied my hunger pangs for the strat quack.

Very limited stock available.

$270.


*All units SOLD , thanks and thanks for all the memories.

Sadowsky Bass Preamp

The Sadowsky preamp does add a pinch of compression to the notes. But i did rather use this for a guitar because the bass knob creates this bottom heavy and prominently punchy tone that sound amazing with single coils - think SRV.

$300




*SOLD in less than 30 mins , thats quick!
