    What's the next step up for me? Bass options

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    If you like your current bass but want to "step it up" think about the SimS Pick up system - a pair will cost you around £450 but will give you 15 combinations of P/J/H - add a good pre (John East?) and you'll have a monster tonal package that other bassists would die for. 

    IIRC there's a pair of SimS p/up for sale here for about half price.

    SOLD - Quilter Bassliner 2x10 wedge (450w) - SOLD

    Same as this: https://www.quilterlabs.com/index.php/product/bassliner-2x10w

    What they say: The Bassliner 2x10W is a wedge shaped, sealed enclosure. Giving a solid and powerful low end presence, the cabinet features a 20 degree slant jointing dual Eminence Deltalite 2510 neodymium drivers and the powerful BGH25-8 horn in an upward direction providing you with full range tone. This 2x10 powerhouse weighs in at 30 pounds.

    I bought this on impulse earlier this year. I was looking for a Vanderkley 2x10 but couldn't find one nearby so I bought this. The fella I bought it from had bought it, used it for 2 hours before buying a pair of Trickfish cabs. All I've done is plug it in to confirm it works. In effect, it's brand new. Comes with the genuine Quilter cover.

    These are pretty difficult to find at the moment - they were on sale at Thomann for over a grand each.

    Reason for sale?? I'm still after a decent VDK but something else has just come up which I've been after for a while, so between these I'm trying to move this on at this bargain price.

    Trials welcome - should work a treat with the Bassblock which fits neatly into a cavity built into the back

    I will trade for a MNT 210

     

     

    OK, So which courier to send a bass?

    Sold a bass here recently - used PF via Interparcel - as far as I know the bass arrived safely and in good time.

    The one possible hiccup/ hiccough  was the front line team member at my local depot who was rude and unhelpful. This was thankfully overturned by another of his team and one of the phone staff who were extremely helpful.

    There's a lefty on ebay that can't get to its reserve of 500 at a few times of asking. Criminal. I can't justify it myself no matter how much I know its a snip. 

    Tis a beautiful looking bass, glad it hits the spot for you tone wise too. 

    Is that the reserve price? I've bid on it a couple of times even though I would have no need for it. I may bid £501 next time.

    I had a 4 string Spitfire which I didn't fall in love with. However I did have a (unbelievably beautiful) Rumour at the time which was a very difficult act for it to follow.

    I have nothing but the utmost respect for Bernie's work and the fact he is a complete gentleman and a joy to deal with.

    Unfortunately, as well as being great instruments to play, most of his creations are beautiful works of art - I never felt comfortable taking mine out of my home - sort of defeats the point of having them really.

    Hope that you're braver that me and get to enjoy this for the reason it was made.
