    I sold and purchased on Ebay but don't understand how BassTalk works, Interested on item. Can you send a private message so we can talk? Had one of these years ago "Loved It", any issues? How Old is the Tube?

    I don't know how old the tube is. It's the same one that was installed when I bought the preamp a few years ago. I have not used it very much, but I don't know how old it was when I got it.

    Bump for some new info. I just plugged in the Demeter and confirmed that everything is working properly. There is some slight scratchiness on a couple of the pots, which could probably be fixed with a squirt of Deoxit. Also, a few of the screws that hold on the top are missing. If was that way when I got it. The top is totally secure without the screws and there are still plenty of remaining screws, but they are just standard sheet metal screws available at any hardware store if you wanted to replace them.

    Also, I've sold a few other things so am now somewhat open to trades on this, though probably not anything that would require cash from me. I could use a Darkglass VMT and/or a Pedal Power 2, if anybody has either of those to trade (would obviously require some cash from you).

    I've had some interest but this great pre is still here for now. Somebody come and get it while the gettin's good!
