Back up for sale

As with my other For Sale post(s), this is a reluctant one that family pressure has finally brought about. I've kept this unused for a number of years Just In Case I ever needed backline again, but nowadays pretty much everything I do is inears/DI, so it has to go. It's the first bass cab design Alex went with, and for a lot of environments, it's still very very useable. Very light, sensitive and very clear for a 15, I've used it with my 300w Walkabout and it's warm and loud. Comes with a cover, both are in great condition, possibly a few small cosmetic scuffs, but I've hardly used this one (I had one back in the day, sold it, regretted it and bought another) as my backline gigs dwindled. I'd much rather meet up (let's say a 75 mile radius from Oldham) than post.

As with my other For Sale post(s), this is a reluctant one that family pressure has finally brought about. I've kept this unused for a number of years Just In Case I ever needed backline again, but nowadays pretty much everything I do is inears/DI, so it has to go. You all know the score; stupid light for a 1200w rated cab (wheels, too), very sensitive (I've used this with my '300w' Walkabout, and it will drown any unmiked drummer without breaking sweat), and plenty for any stage in terms of volume. In great condition (a few very minor cosmetic dings, but nothing remarkable), and woefully underused, really. I note these are £1300 these days, so £750 is a bargain for the only cab you need for anything and everything. Would be a PITA to post, I'd much rather meet up, and I'd do a 75-mile radius meet from Oldham.

Financial squeeze means it's time I clear out gear I'm not using at the moment, and as all my gigs nowadays are inears, the backline can go. I've held onto this unused for literally years (I think 7 this year) because it's just the best amp I've ever used (and anyone who's read any of my relevant posts knows that's a lot of amps), in a Just In Case kinda manner, but now family pressure has won out, and it can't sit under the stairs any more, so it has to go. I'm sure anyone who knows amps knows the deal with these: the most valvey, warm amp this side of a 50lb box of bottles, and don't let the 300w fool you; with the right cab(s) - see my other For Sale Posts - this thing is more than capable of holding a stage, and can keep up with any drummer. The EQ has a secret weapon, too: the bottom of the para section can be dialled in as a very effective HPF, because you can cut 15db from 30Hz up, which I've found very useful. The mids are the best I've had on an amp, so it can keep the bass present in the mix without overpowering or harshness. The case is one from Maplin (remember them?) and fits the amp snugly - I also used the foam from the top lid to sit the amp on top of the cab. Very secure and tough, without being heavy. Anyhoo, I'm talking myself out of this sale, so that'll do for now, but any questions, just ask. I'd much prefer to meet up if poss, tho with the case I could post, but I'd have to get a price. I can drive maybe a 75 mile radius from Manchester to meet up, even with the tough case I'd rather do that than post.

The one that should leave tomorrow... 😉

Bump for added sale option. Would consider trades for Fender P / PJ 5 string or Sandberg Basic Ken Taylor 5.

We wants it, Precious, but we can't affords it. We wants it so badly!

Great set up. Ran exactly the same rig for a few years pre covid. GLWTS

Selling my Bergantino Forte D amp, all the specs are out there if you need to know about this amp. Has a little wear on the outer casing where the front edge has rub off a little, see pics. It’s a great amp with a lovely tone and loads of power. I’m selling this as I’ve upgraded my rig. I have the original box, manual and you can have the soft case I bought for it. Can deliver at buyers cost, thank you.k
