  2. Price drop to £380 - I could really do with selling this soon as I'm facing having to replace my clutch this week, which won't be cheap.... It's a lot of guitar for the money but it's got to go I'm afraid.
  3. Hi scrumpymike Yes you're exactly right - it's 300w into 4 ohms. Ive found that running it on about half full volume into a good cab gives plenty of volume for most gigs. I'm not a quiet player at all (ask my piano player...!) but this particular amp has always had plenty of welly. So yep, your two 8 ohm cabs will get full amount of juice out of this.
  4. Hello Here's the medium sized carrying bag for Markbass heads. I have a Littlemark ll and as you can see, the case is meant for a larger head. It's easy enough to make it fit (in my case using rolled up bubble wrap) but I've just picked up a correct sized bag on this very forum, so passing this one on. As you can see its in good condition, all the zips work perfectly, strap and clasps all solid and working. A few small surface marks on the cloth but nothing serious. I've pictured it alongside my Littlemark ll to give an indication of the size difference - the bag is perhaps 4inches deeper and and 1.5inches wider than the amp. How does £23 posted sound? I'm in Leicester if anyone would prefer to collect and get a free cup of tea and a biscuit thrown in.... SOLD
  5. now sold thanks [color=#000000]Hi all[/color] [color=#000000]I bought this a few years ago when I was doing a lot more acoustic gigs - I don't do any now so letting this go.[/color] [color=#000000]These are apparently fairly rare - made by Fender between 2001-2004 only, it's a grand auditorium guitar with AA grade spruce top, solid mahogany back, Grover machine heads, abalone dots and soundhole rosette, tortoiseshell binding etc. [/color] [color=#000000]It's had an LR Baggs M80 active sound hole pickup and an end pin jack professionally installed. The M80 is designed to respond to vibrations and percussive styles played on the soundboard itself, so it's a very responsive and clear sounding guitar, with a slim comfy neck. [/color] [color=#000000]It also comes with a near perfect condition Hiscox hard case.[/color] [color=#000000]There's no noticeable fret wear or any significant dings. I've used it for a handful of gigs at most, and some guitar teaching sessions. [/color] [color=#000000]Sound wise its a little more precise and clean sounding than a dreadnought, with really clear, crisp note definition that makes it lovely for finger picking.[/color] [color=#000000]Price wise I was looking at ------- I think fairly reflects the cost of the guitar itself (which originally cost me £300 s/h, without the pickup or the hard case.)[/color] [color=#000000]I'm in Leicester, so collection is always good, but I'm happy to post it too, though I'd have to work out costs etc.[/color] [color=#000000]Fire away with any questions. [/color]
  6. Hi all I used to use one of these as my rig - I installed it in a cheapy old GK Backline cabinet. It was an eminence delta 15 LF 500w 4 ohm thing. Worked brilliantly. Plenty of welly, loads of bass and a good all round sound. As someone else pointed out, you ain't gonna be Marcus Miller or Mark King with it, but I found it great as a single cabinet rig - warm, fat and smooth. After the GK cabinet bit the dust I pulled the speaker out and put it on our bassbins, where it also sounds great. Good speakers imho.
  7. Yeah they're very good and really helpful too. Ive used them for loads of stuff.
  8. Hello all, I'm finally getting round to selling my Ashdown Mag 300 head. Pics now added. Its from 2007, so its not the current Evo II model. Black carpet covering rather than the newer vinyl. Been gigged regularly and up until the last couple of years, when my Markbass LM3 head has taken over. It's been well-cared for, and kept in a pet and smoke free home. I've added four small rubber feet to the base of the case to stop it slipping too. I bought this Ashdown new in 2007 as a back up to my ailing Peavey head which was playing up at the time, and was impressed enough that it became my main amp from there on. It's actually very good, and really loud for the 307watt rating (regularly used it with a P bass and GK cab with a loud rock band and it always had plenty of juice left). Been reliable the whole time. Cosmetically the only blemishes seem to be a few marks like fingerprint on the silver face and back panel, which I've tried to show in the pics. I really can't kid myself that I'm going to use it anymore having acquired two Little Mark heads over the last few years, along with various other guitar and bass related stuff which has left me a bit short of cash! That's the only reason I'm selling it. Pricewise, I was thinking about £120 ono plus postage. I'm in Leicester and happy to post but I'll need to check the prices etc.
  9. P basses rule - that is why you feel this way. I've played something P bass shaped for most of the last 20 years. Recently I've explored other things and come to conclusion that P basses are really what I needed all along. I've been at gigs where I've taken another bass and thought "I wish I'd brought my precision" but I can't think of a time I've brought along my P bass and thought "I wish I'd brought something else". For me a good P bass ticks a lot of boxes. Enjoy!
  10. Whoa what an amazing guitar. My bro had a blonde one of these a few years back and it was stunning to play. The big neck certainly translated to some massive sustain and tone. Completely off the point - but that's an extraordinary looking rabbit you've got there too! Is it like a professional model rabbit or something? Wow.
  11. Oh well - I ended up buying one! Gave it a blast thru my hot rod deluxe when I got home and it sounded great. Hopefully a bit more time to plug in, play and analyse it a bit more over the coming nights. Looks beautiful, lighter than expected considering it's a fair thickness, neck is far more comfortable than I'd expected too. So far so good. Expect a NGD post to follow!
  12. I'd have to say worst (i.e. most disappointing) were a couple of different faulty Ashdown ABM heads I had about six or seven years ago. They kept breaking down and were really quiet for the rating, so I eventually sold them. Though in defence of Ashdown, the little Mag300 head of theirs I'd bought a few months beforehand was great - very loud for the 300w rating, smooth and nice sounding and plenty of juice in it. I used that for a hell of a lot of loud gigs without any problems, and I still have it as a spare.
  13. Just bought a Korg tuner from Nige. Top man, easy to deal with, good price, and it arrived well packaged and on time. No complaints at all.
  14. I've got a Schroeder 1210R I got from Basschat a few years back - and I've used it for almost every gig since (paired with a Little Mark III). Its not lightweight, but its the best single cab rig for me. My Aguilar GS410 is arguably better and bigger sounding, but it a lot, lot bigger and heavier. I love my Schroeder. Brilliant cab.
  15. Had a wedding gig in Leicestershire last night. I honestly don't know how we got thru it - both myself (bass/vocals) and keyboard player have colds - he was sweaty and feverish the whole time, and we both felt bloody awful. But It turned out to be a brilliant gig! We somehow managed to come out fighting and absolutely nailed it, and the wedding party loved it! Should have been sponsored by Sudafed, Echinacea and any other medication we could lay our hands on. So pleased it went well. Feeling it today tho. Dreadful. Need tea.
