Open to sensible offers. I'd much prefer a straight sale but I can always be tempted but the right trade!

Great bass at a great price

Time has come to let go of this great bass rig. Had this for gigs but only got through one before the band had issues again. If I play again will be going to a power amp/modelling pedal and In ear setup as most of the places I can practice are quiet or have cabs available. Head was a purchase through Ashdown as a last chance with the warranty etc it has some dents scratches on it but all works great and is a powerful great sounding beast. I love Ashdown have had many over the years ABMs/CTMs/LBs this one is brilliant has all you expect from an ABM a professional level amp. 600w 9 band Eq Dual UV for input and output Speakon outs Foot switch option (not included) Size 135mm x 474mm x 320mm (£400 Ono collection preferably but could post at cost) Markbass MB58R 104 PURE Bass Cab 4ohm 800watt version This is a light exceptionally portable bass cab With great bass response which is surprising after you have carried it in. Has an adjustable tweeter and is just a great cab. Weight is around 16kg so an easy one person lift. Sounds great is great would keep it but is just taking up spare room space. Crossover Frequency: 3.5 Khz Frequency Response: 40hz to 20khz Sensitivity Db Spl: 103 Db Impedance: 4 Ohms Reflex: Rear 578mm x 600mm x 470mm (£500 on its own but collection only on the cab as wouldn't have a box etc) Any questions feel free to ask. Would consider a Nice Jap Pbass or a PJ of some sort as a trade /part trade

Apparently, the Modulus made early necks were a myth (rrp of a modulus neck was almost as much as the rrp of the G Bass), and they are not actually carbon necks as marketed, they have a maple core with a carbon wrap. Still cracking basses for the money of course, but really interesting marketing choice from Peavey; the manual literally says it's a Carbon Graphite neck with no mention of it being mostly wood. Crazy but there you go. Still want it!

Finally time to move on my Squier 40th Anniversary Precision in Lake Placid Blue. The bass is stock with gold hardwear and anodised pickguard, and in excellent condition. Hex Keys will be included as well. I bought this a couple of years ago as I was gigging more and wanted a solid backup to my Stingray at gigs, rather than take my old Harley Benton Jazz. I never needed it at a single gig and didn't even take it out of the case and put it on a stand (not enough room at gigs). I periodically take it out of the case to make sure it is in tune and working and then it goes away again, and the D'Addario strings are still in great shape. It really is a great bass, better QC than a lot of more expensive basses I have owned. I also think it is the prettiest bass I have owned, which has been verified by my wife and kids. One of the best things for me though, was that it is a really comfortable weight at 8.2lbs (according to my scales) which is an absolute joy for my ageing back. lt sounds and plays like a Precision should, but therein lies the issue for me. This is my third Precision now, I keep convincing myself I need one, and then realise ust don't get on with them. After so many years of playing Stingrays, I am just used to a certain hand position and sound, and I just need to give in an accept they are not for me. It is also such a shame to have it sitting doing nothing and I am not gigging much. I am located close to Tewkesbury, in Gloucestershire for collection. I am reluctant to ship it as I don't have many packing materials to hand and I don't really want to risk couriers. I think there is a chap on here who will pick up and deliver and I do have have an old Hiscox case which would be suitable for transportation if you want to go down that route. Please send me a message if you have nay questions.

Forgot to add pictures of original electrics etc. And forgot to watermark, so at least I've done this one!
