    Warwick Dolphin Pro 1 - withdrawn for now

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted

    Thanks Kev.

    Just been playing it this morning and it is wonderful. I have started praying to the god of bass to magic a 5th string onto it (and a 6th perhaps!).

    To anyone interested I'd just like to point out that I will not be around so much for the next couple of weeks. I will do my best to reply to pms etc as soon as possible but please don't take offence if there are not the usual prompt ABD coms! Normal service will be resumed later in June!

    Cheers

    RH750 and RC4 - now sold

    in Amps and Cabs For Sale

    Posted · Edited by andybassdoyle

    For sale my RH750.

    Great amp. Super clean, powerful and very flexible. There is nothing not to like here but I've had the chance to pick up something a bit more rare, fruity and to my liking so this will have to make room.

    The amp is in mint condition, still under warranty (purchased from bass direct late last year). The RC4 was purchased separately second hand but is also in excellent condition. Long connection lead is included.

    Don't know what else to tell you really, I'm sure most of you know all about these and there's plenty of info on the web.

    There is one issue which you will see immediately from the pics. In the last two weeks 5 of the 7 control knobs have broken. The amp has not had an impact or anything, they have just come loose due to the fins inside the knobs breaking off so the knobs loose their grip on the pot shafts. It's rubbish and I've told TC this, some replacements are on the way. I've been using some high quality rubberised bass control knobs instead. These work like a dream, don't obscure the illuminated display and fit much better than the originals. This said I fully appreciate that they are not the 'right' knobs and the colour does not quite match. I'll be sending the replacements onto however buys the amp.

    There is no gig bag but the amp fits really well into a standard laptop sleeve. I've been using a cheap neoprene one which has kept the amp in great condition. The amp will ship in the original packing with manual etc. I'll include a power cord if you need one.

    I think that's it!

    The amp is priced to move quickly given that I have incoming, I'm also trying to reflect the 'knobgate' scandal into the pricing. Please no offers or trades. I believe the prices are now around £700 for the amp and the footswitch probably £50-80 so this is hopefully a good price for an amp which is essentially new. UK shipping is included, overseas would be extra.

    Cheers!

    I've only very recently completed a trade for this marvellous bass but have come to the realisation that 4 strings are just not going to work for me.

    This had always been the most desirable and sought after Warwick model for me and whilst I've got great love for it I'm not minded to just leave it hanging on the wall.

    Kev, I hope you don't mind I've borrowed the specs and photos from your original post:

    So the bass is valued at £1,800 which I understand to be a fair price. Cash sale is fine of course but I'm also very open to trades for basses of comparable value, just not 4 strings please.

    If anyone has an identical 5 string version of this bass and would would like to lose a string get in touch!!!

    I'm in Norwich and you are welcome to try the bass. I can't overstate how wonderful this is and frankly I'm very disappointed that it's just not going to work out.

    Thanks all,

    Abd

    in Amps and Cabs For Sale

    Posted · Edited by andybassdoyle

    Hi all,

    I've got three tecamp cabs to move. This is something of a feeler - the sale is to fund a barefaced S12T and depending on how this hangs together (or not as the case might be) I might have to withdraw some or all.

    The cabs have been on here before and in fact I've just bumped a previous post of mine for the 6x12. There are three all together:

    [attachment=162917:DSC_0475.JPG]

    An XS112, M212 and XL612

    The 112 is 8 ohms, the other two are 4 ohms. This is a quick post I'm afraid but all of the details and specs of the cabs are on the tecamp website, of course pm your questions as well.

    Prices are £500 for the 612, £400 for the 212 and £375 for the XS112. If you would like the whole family £1200!

    I'm in Norwich and am not looking to ship the cabs at this stage although I would be prepared to meet within a reasonable radius subject to diary and petrol costs.

    Cheers!

    Kev's Feedback

    in Feedback

    Posted

    Traded my Sei for Kev's Dolphin. A good experience all round, good coms and dialogue throughout, a reasonable deal for us both and a quickly and safely executed at the end (despite my courier leaving the Sei outside Kev's house).

    With regards to the Dolphin Kev:

    I'll make sure I play a tuna day on it
    It's probably unsuitable for practicing scales
    Hopefully will be a keeper, I'll try not to flipper too quickly
    Looking forward to trying my fav tunes on it; like a sturgeon (Madonna), pick up the pisces (average whitebread), cod bess the child, mack[i]rell [/i]the knife, and of course anything by Thelonious Monk (fish)

    As you can tell this deal was no accident, it happened on porpoise

    ....and spent

    :-)
