I've used tecamp cabs for a while now and picked up up a Bonafide head earlier this year. Hands down the best amp I have owned in terms of clean power, tone, portability and flexablity. Time will tell if it's durable but so far so good. Over and above this waffle though I'd point out that the taste control on these amps is fabulous for controlling 'room boom' in your sound. It's great for bass guitar but it is fantastic for double bass which I find can sometimes be difficult to tame. Other than that the EQ is helpful but to be honest you set it flat and you get a really clean and natural representation of whatever you put into it. I can genuinely say that it has been a revalation for me after 20 years of trading amps... If I had the readies I'd snap this up as a spare. GLWTS

Hi BC, Strictly a feeler at this stage and priced at what I paid for it. I seem to have a compulsion to go for basses with maple boards only to the end up feeling that I'm not comfortable with the sound of a maple board. This STR is pretty wonderful, I was looking for a more comfortable 6 and this is most definitely that. Bassculture pickups. maple/ash, wenge top and Aguilar pre. I may well hold it but there are one or two instruments out there that I would be interested in and whilst there are many things about this bass I love it just doesn't 'fit' as well as some others do... People say that these basses are 'fodera-esq'. I've never owned a fodera so I don't know but it certainly has similar style hardware, also a very well made professional instrument. I'll let you be the judge... Here is the STR site if you need more background on the firm, there don't seem to be many around in Europe: [url="http://www.str-guitars.com/"]http://www.str-guitars.com/[/url] Now gone

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 -

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. [attachment=163557:DSC_0484.JPG] 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! Abd

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: [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Bass: [/font][/color][color=red][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Dolphin[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] Pro I 4[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Year: 2010[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Month: January[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Machineheads: Warwick Machine Heads[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Nut: Just-A-Nut III Brass[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Neck Wood: Ovangkol neck with maple veneer stripes, 3 laminations[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Fretboard: Wenge fingerboard (fretted)[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Inlay: [/font][/color][color=red][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Dolphin[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] Inlays[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Fingerboard Radius: 20"[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Scale length: 34" (long scale)[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Fret quantity material and size: 26 Jumbo Bronze (extra hard) frets (width: 2.9 mm / height: 1.3 mm)[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Body Shape: Curved Bodyshape[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Bodywood (Topwood / Backwood): Ovangkol body[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Pickups: Active MEC J/TJ pickups[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Electronics: Active MEC 2-way electronics[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Pot layout: Volume P/P & Balance stacked / Treble & Bass stacked with P/P for splitting the TJ pick ups[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Bridge system: 2-piece Warwick Bridge[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Strap system: Warwick security locks[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Construction: Hidden Neck[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Right Handed[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Natural Oil Finish[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Hardware Colour: Gold hardware[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Weight: 9lb 4oz[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]included accessories: Warwick User Kit, Hiscox Hardcase[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'm happy to provide some current pics but life has not moved on since these and it looks like Kev is a much better photographer than I am.[/font][/color] [attachment=163155:IMG_1591_zpsc1932d34.jpg] [attachment=163157:IMG_1593_zps290ce939.jpg] [attachment=163156:IMG_1589_zps1f435ec6.jpg] [attachment=163158:IMG_3985_zpsa01f9a99.jpg] [attachment=163160:IMG_3987_zps5025de8a.jpg] 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
