[quote name='BottomEndian' post='969184' date='Sep 27 2010, 09:57 AM']Hmmm, indeed. I'm sure they're beautifully constructed and finished instruments (if a little bulbous around the lower bout for my liking), but yes, you'd probably only really buy one for the electronics. I say this having never even been in the same room as one. Could be the bass of my dreams in terms of playability, but at the same sort of pricetag that could get you a pair of matching fretted and fretless ACGs (for example), it'd just continue to be the bass of my dreams.[/quote] I must say that after playing a 5 string fretted and a 4 string fretless Enfield at Bass Day last year, I had a serious GAS attack for one......... until he told me how much they cost, and I cried a little on the inside.

"Hyperventilate" by Frost* at the moment, ace British prog band. I also find it amusing that their albums so far have been written and recorded in a glorified shed in the keyboardist's garden!

I think my first live performance was at 13, played "My Generation" at a 60's themed open mic night in my hometown, with a crappy "Parksons" branded 4 string and a Peavey Microbass practice amp - it's a good job they're only 15 watts, otherwise someone might have heard my poor attempt at the bass solo! -
Would rather not split, but if I get no interest for both together I'll let you know. [quote name='Spacehog' post='947505' date='Sep 6 2010, 06:55 PM']would you consider splitting them? I'd like the head only Spacehog[/quote]

Bump for quick sale, no interest?

I'll agree with molan on the Elixir front - definitely the strings for me, although they're pricey compared to other brands I generally find they'll last at least twice as long as regular uncoated roundwounds.

Still up for sale.

More pics to follow. EDIT: Will mention before I forget, that the rack case in the pic has now been sold, but if couriered I will make sure the amp is packaged extremely well to prevent any damage.

Bought a Shuttle 6.0 from fryer recently, top bloke who was great to deal with (even though there were problems at my end!), no problems from his end at all. Cheers!

Hi all, Up for sale is my trusty SWR rig in gigged condition, comprising of a WorkingPro 700 head and a Triad cab. The WorkingPro 700 is rated 700W @ 4 ohms (450W @ 8 ohms), by far the most reliable head I've ever had, but unfortunately has to go due to monetary and space requirements Here's the blurb from SWR: "Features: 700 watts @ 4 ohms, classic SWR preamp with Aural Enhancer, Bass Intensifier circuit, four-band Active EQ with variable midrange, tuner send with tuning mute switch, studio-quality XLR out with ground lift and level pad, automatic limiter with defeat option, effects loop with blend control, stereo headphones out, dual Speakon and 1/4” speaker outputs." The Triad is a two chamber, three way cabinet comprising of 1x15" + 1x10" + tweeter. It's rated 400W power handling, but I've used this as my rig for 3 years now and never had any problems - I've never experienced any worrying speaker distortions even at high volume. The SWR blurb for the Triad: "A two-chamber, true three-way cabinet that provides full range, uncolored, exacting, highly accurate tone. Offering the best of all worlds, this cab is loaded with a custom SWR 15-inch driver, 10-inch driver, and high-frequency tweeter, and each is crossed over at the optimum point, making it extra sweet across the full-frequency spectrum. Simply put, the Triad does the hard work of properly separating frequencies into specific drivers for you. Best used either by itself, or in combination with another Triad" I will be sad to see it go, it's been the most reliable set up I've owned so far, but I don't have the need or the space for it any more Is a perfect "pub gig" setup for anyone starting out gigging. Looking for £500 or thereabouts for both together. Local collection would be preferred (from Bridlington, East Yorkshire) but would be happy to split courier costs with the buyer. Will upload some photos when I get chance! EDIT: Price drop for quick sale. Pics to follow.

Worst bass I ever owned has to be a Stagg 5 string my dad bought me when I'd just started playing - the neck literally split in half mid-practise! (Mind you, what did he expect for £50!)

Wouldn't mind trying one of these with the Compact I've just ordered - I'm in Bridlington, East Yorkshire.
