If I'm honest I'm not quite sure what this is. I picked the bass up a few years ago as part of a deal having no knowledge of it's pedigree, at the time I thought it might be good due to a set-up and fingerboard shoot in the bass gallery plus the kent armstrong pickups and electronics.

It is a great bass although I have to confess that I'm not really a fretless player so it's never go a lot of use with me. The action is low and it plays well, tonally it sounds like a bass from the 80s which, to look at it, is what I guess it might be.

The circuit is passive but quite flexible. I don't have a spec to confirm exactly how it works but I think there are two volumes, two tones and a coil tap for each pickup, finally a 3 way pickup selector. Although I find it a bit unconventional to use it does actually work quite well on the odd gig when I've had chance to explore it.

Currently strung E-C but I'll throw in a B string if required.

The bass is quite heavy but balances well. It's also quite big due to the shape and fairly large headstock.

I didn't pay much for this so I'm passing it on cheap. If you know more than me and recognise that this is worth significantly more then feel free to let me know or make me a better offer!!!

If you want it shipped then no problem but that's extra however I will throw in a gig bag to the listed price. Hardcase is extra.

Cheers guys, mwahhhhhahhh......

These are great basses, I've got the blue version which might have to go soon for the same reason but I'll be sorry to see it leave. Excellent start point for a decent modern jazz bass. I really think you'll struggle to get something that has a decent neck, board, the blocks (which are really attractive if that's you thing), the flame and a pretty damn decent pre for this amount of £$JPYEUR.

Bump you up 'bor

This is an amazing bass, personally I need a headstock but this could almost turn me. I bet it sounds great when it's not being played by someone rubbish like that Hardien Feraud chap......

Very nice bass Don!

Hi,
A fair bit of interest in this already but all needing it shipped.
I will ship it if you like but it might take me a week or so to get it sorted, if you're okay with this then get in touch!
Cheers
Andy

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me!

All change on the cabs front and I won't be needing this.

That said, it's a fantastic cab for small applications. I've owned it from new and used it extensively for double bass and for v.small gigs or rehearsals. Superb sound and rated at 8ohms 250W but the 1x10 speaker will not be demolishing any buildings.

The best thing about this cab though is the size and weight. Very tiny and weighs next to nothing (pic three is me lifting it with my little finger and I'm not Arnold Schwartzeneggereggereggerer). Very quick and convenient indeed.

Price wise from what I can make out these are about $500 new so c£300. It's a series 1 UL so a few years old, well used with a few fluffy bits on the covering but in very good condition. I'm asking £150 as 1) this seems like a fair price 2) any less than this and it's worth more to keep around for contingencies.

I'd really rather not post it as I don't have any materials on hand and am quite busy for the next couple of months. Cab is in Norwich along with PG tips and a warm welcome.

You got pm....

Very very nice......

Cheers Dood!

Bump for added photo value........

You could fly over and slot the cab into the luggage rack on the way back mate.

Oh no, hold on, you probably can't do that !

Anyway, yes it's an amazing cab for the right person and I hope a great deal too. Thanks mate.

Bump as now updated to sale only, I'm now sorted for a replacement for this thanks to the perfect gent who is Dood.

Bit of an hokey cokey with this, up then withdrawn now up again.....

Fantastic cab but even with the assistance of a sackbarrow it's still too much for me. Despite the amazing sound I'm going to have to admit defeat.

It's only had light use and will have seen about 20 gigs with me but the end of next month, I'm asking £580 which is exactly what I paid for it and I think a bit of a steal.

Spec wise it's 4 ohms, 900 gazzillion watts and 3.5 metric tonnes.

Cab comes with the Mesa slip cover which is a bit tatty but still usable. It's done it's job well as the cab itself is in excellent condition.

More pics to follow once I get some time to move the beast during the day. Here is one for now from a recent outdoor radio event:

Due to the size and weight it will need to be collection from Norwich. I can drive to meet within reason if you cover my costs. Shipping is an option but it will take time and be costly, collection would be much better.

Rgds,
Andy

Paul - have pm'd you on the cab already....

I love this but now get what I need valve-wise from my amp, so in the interests of reclaiming some board real estate it's on it's way to another BCer!

I'm sure you can read loads on the site about these pedals, essentially a really great valve drive pedal. Goes from nicely warming or vintaging to out and out filth machine. Has a boost function as well which is to be used with caution - lots of gain. Nice blue backlight to the valve to show when it's on.

This is a plain silver one with the usual DH marker pen scrawl on it, some of which is faded but still readable no probs.

Really needs it's own power supply, which I'm including, or you can get a bit of noise with it.

I bought this from horrowshowbass and have nicked his original pic as it's much better than the ones I took - pedal is in identical condition though.

Asking what I paid for it which is pretty reasonable, always open to trades as well for any interesting noisemakers......

Cheers,

Andy

Geoff,

I used to have an A5 which worked really well as an 'acoustic electric'. Mine was fretless and gave up some very nice round tones when played up from the bridge. It also had the midi system fitted although I found this less useful as there was a fair bit of lag.

Some old story, sold it now I miss it. No idea how it compares to other options but I'd certainly recommend the A5.

Happy hunting,

Andy

awesome
I bet this bass would even make me play better!!

baarrrrrmppp

.......excuse me

Sold pending the usual. Must be the pg tips....

Great amp. Very nice pre, I miss mine but must resist....

Could I just add for those tempted by Dood's Norwich based xl is that I'll also throw in tea and biscuits upon collection!
I have pg tips, be wary as he may use a lessor tea!

I had previously included this an a previous post and suspect it's gotten lost so here it is again.

Hartke 4.5XL 410 cab. Classic 410 (IMHO), 400w 8ohms, front ported. Great depth, mids and highs from the small 5 centre speaker.

It's an older cab but it good condition. The covering is all intact and bar a few scratches to the grill is pretty much A1.

The downside with these babies is the weight which is around 99lbs I think. However, I do think this is party why they sound so good, they are extremly solid. I use a small folding sackbarrow to move this, turns a difficult lift into a piece of cake.

I'm selling purely because I think this occupies a space I just don't really need now with the other cab options I have. As with most of my gear sales, I will probably regret it in due course.

Moving this works in with another Dood deal so the price is £85. Don't need trades thanks and you'll need to collect it from Norwich.

Cheers!!

Hello all,

Qtron plus up FS/FT. Great filter but it's not quite the holy grail of filters for me and I'm in the process of trying a few so this one needs to make some room.

Box with instructions and EHX 24v power supply. It's used but in top condition and fully functional. Has a bit of velco on the bottom.

I would like £60 including shipping for this piece of filter wonder. Alternatively up for trade offers on interesting pedals. I'm sorted for most stuff but would defo be interested in a nice reverb with a blend function.

Let me know....

Cheers guys

You got pm

I've recently got a DB751 and if that's anything to go by it's worth walking to Poland to pick this up. Breathtaking amp.

Pete is a great guy to deal with. Very flexible and keeps his gear in A1 condition. Just drove over 100 miles to meet and help me out.
Deal with confidence!
Cheers Pete
