1972年ごろに生まれ、わずかな期間のみで生産が終了してしまったペダルでありながら、近代では伝説的な存在となっているアッパーオクターブファズ“Bass Brassmaster“が入荷いたしました。古くから評価が高く、ヴィンテージペダル市場の中でも突出したプレミア価格で取引されている、ヴィンテージペダルファンにとっては垂涎のモデルです。

Bass Brassmasterは一般的なファズペダルを目指して作られたものではなく、ベースの音をブラス(管楽器)の音のように加工するというコンセプトで作られたペダルで、ベース用のファズペダルとしては世界最古の存在とされています。入力された音をふたつに分割し、一方の信号はトランジスタ、ダイオードブリッジ、トランスを使って作るアッパーオクターブファズセクションに、もう一方の信号はバッファーを通り、最後に2つの信号が混ぜられる、そんな回路で作られており、管楽器のような倍音感を持った独特のアッパーオクターブファズサウンドを作り出します。

コントロール類は、3つのノブの2つのスライドスイッチの計5つ。BASS VOL.は原音の音量、BRASS VOL.はファズの音量、SENSITIVITYはファズの歪み量を調整します。原音、エフェクト音それぞれに音量調整があるため、ふたつの音を混ぜる分量を細かく調整することができます。、BRASSスイッチは回路中のフィルターの一部を変更し、主に中低域の質感を調整します。中域、低域の増減ができるスイッチですが、このスイッチであえて中低域を減らし、BASS VOL.(原音の音量)を上げて低域を補完、帯域のバランスを整えて使うことで、特に音楽的なベースファズらしい音色となります。HARMONICスイッチはBRASSスイッチによるフィルター回路を有効 / 無効にするスイッチで、あえてフィルターをかけない、ピュアで太いファズサウンドを作ることもできるスイッチです。

両側面にある2つのネジを緩めれば、裏蓋が上記写真のように開きます。内部の作りは非常に丁寧で、例えば基板上の抵抗の向きが全て揃えられています。そういったことは当時のヴィンテージペダルではほとんど見られません。生産に気を遣われていたことが想像できます。

配線類は緑色のビニタイで綺麗に纏められています。この部分もオリジナルで、後から作業されたものではありません。
ポットデートは1972年。3箇所すべてにCTSのポットが使われています。
フットスイッチはアメリカのAllow H&H製。ベークライト板をラミネートして作られた、特徴的なスイッチです。現代ではまず見ない作りのフットスイッチですので、こういった箇所からも当時の空気感を感じることができます。なお、Clyde McCoyなどに使われていたフットスイッチとそっくりですが、別のものです。
フットスイッチ周りの黒い部分はゴム製のため、劣化や破損が原因で別のワッシャーに交換されていることも多々ありますが、今回入荷した個体はオリジナルの状態を保っています。その他、今回の個体は裏蓋にある4つのゴム足すらもオリジナル。それに加えて、元箱、取扱説明書も付属するという、奇跡的なコンディションです。
「他に見ない回路」、「定格の大きな部品ばかりが使われている」、「当時のペダルとしては明らかに丁寧に作られている」、こういったことからもBass Brassmasterの唯一無二の音が作られているのでしょう。Bass BrassmasterをはじめとするMaestroのエフェクターの多くはATDという会社が製造を請け負っていましたが、Bass Brassmasterは特に丁寧に作られているように見えます。
今回入荷した個体は、本体には多く傷、使用感がありますが、外装、内部ともにフルオリジナルで、元箱、説明書も付属することから、大事に使われていた個体であると想像できます。大事にこの時代にまで残されていた個体だからなのか、音色も特に優れていると感じます。Bass Brassmasterは元々、特段ゲインの高いファズではありませんが、今回入荷した個体は比較的ゲインが高く、圧縮感があるため、弾きやすい印象があります。また、原音、エフェクト音、ともにかなり野太く、簡単に“ロックな音色”を作り出してくれます。この文章を書いている私(CULT 細川)は、過去にBass Brassmasterを2台所有していたことがありますが、それらと比べても音色的に優れた個体だと思います。なお、Bass Brassmasterはベース用に開発されていますが、ギターに使ってもとてもユニークなアッパーオクターブが得られます。
この音色の個体がこのコンディションで市場に出ることは非常に稀だと思います。Bass Brassmasterを探されていた方、ぜひこの個体をおすすめいたします。

"Racial Capitalism"
Format: Paperback
Cedric J. Robinson’s Black Marxism is first a history of Black people appearing in historical texts as far back as Herodotus (c. 484 – c. 425 BCE) in ancient Greece, and second a history of “the collisions of the Black and white ‘races’ beginning in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.” Robinson’s thesis connects the evolution of capitalism to its roots in racism (racialism) understood in broad terms to comprise the subjugation of one class/group/nation/race by another (the Irish by the English in the nineteenth century, for example). He uses the term “racial capitalism” to express this process—the necessity of opposing classes for the function of capitalism. As a result, “racialism,” he says, “would inevitably permeate the social structures emergent from capitalism.” Keynes attributed the slow change in the “standard of life of the average man” until the beginning of the eighteenth century to “the remarkable absence of important technical improvements and to the failure of capital to accumulate.” Capital is accumulated, in Marx’s view, through the accretion of “surplus labor” which is the extra time a worker “must add to the working time necessary for his own maintenance . . . in order to produce the means of subsistence for the owners of the means of production.” Robinson ties capitalism’s early exploitation of surplus labor to slave labor and the slave trade noting, “historically, slavery was a critical foundation for capitalism.” Robinson traces the forced transport of Black people from Africa (the diaspora) to Europe, as well as Central, South, and North America as a foundation of early capitalism (and slavery as its form of “primitive accumulation” of capital). In his discussions of slavery, Robinson stresses the sense of the enslaved people with respect to their captors in terms of the slaves’ resistance, hostility, and defiance of the masters—their “Black radicalism.” As Robinson’s text approaches the twentieth century and the influence of Marx, his focus narrows to the significance and character of specific Black leaders including W. E. B. Du Bois, C. L. R. James, and Richard Wright and their respective connections to Marxism’s diverse interpretations. Marxism, says Robinson, “has proven insufficiently radical to expose and root out the racialist order that contaminates its analytic and philosophic applications or to come to effective terms with the implications of its own class origins.”

Any socialist movement must centrally address racial liberation to succeed.
Format: Kindle
Robinson's masterwork powerfully demonstrates how the Black radical tradition emerged from the shared experiences of resistance to racial capitalism and colonialism. By tracing this intellectual and political lineage through figures like W.E.B. Du Bois, C.L.R. James, and Richard Wright, Robinson shows that Black liberation struggles were not simply an offshoot of European socialism, but represented their own distinctive radical tradition. A key insight is how Black resistance movements developed theoretical frameworks and modes of struggle that went beyond traditional Marxist analysis. Where European Marxism focused primarily on class conflict within industrial capitalism, Black radical thinkers recognized that racial oppression was fundamental to how capitalism developed globally through colonialism and slavery. This more comprehensive analysis helped explain why racial liberation had to be central to any meaningful socialist transformation in the United States. The book compellingly argues that Black liberation movements - from slave rebellions to civil rights to Black Power - represented some of the most significant challenges to American capitalism. These struggles exposed how racial oppression was not incidental but essential to American economic and social relations. By fighting for racial justice, these movements struck at the foundations of the capitalist order itself. Robinson's updated edition strengthens these arguments by extending the analysis into more recent decades. He examines how Black radical politics evolved in response to neoliberalism and continued racial inequalities, while maintaining connections to earlier traditions of resistance. For readers interested in both racial justice and socialist politics, this book remains invaluable for understanding how these struggles are fundamentally interconnected. It demonstrates why any socialist movement in the United States must centrally address racial liberation to succeed in transforming society.

A Classic That Requires Time
Format: Paperback
This book is for a particular type of reader. Robinson’s writing is beautiful, but not easy. The ideas are complex. It takes effort to get through. But, if you are interested in Black politics, and looking for fresh thinking, I recommend it highly. The funny thing is, the title is misleading. It is more about Europe and the formation of capitalism, and what Robinson defines as The Black Radical Tradition. Marx is critiqued but not rejected, and held uneasily at arm’s length. As Angela Davis wrote, this book needs to be read more than once. It’s like an album or a movie that is so unique and rich that you know you probably missed something on the first go-round. I expect to return to it many years to come.
