  1. Martin purchased my old SWR amp and Cab. Great communicator and top man to deal with - Loves driving, having drove down from Manchester to collect. Highly recommended and deal with absolute confidence.

  2. Up for sale is my SWR Super Redhead with extension Son of Bertha 1x15 Cabinet.

    Both have been in my possession since new (purchased 2002). Purely need the funds at the moment to pay the bills which is why they're up for sale and very competitively priced. £400 for both sold as a pair. Depending on interest I may decide to split, but at present am only selling together.imageproxy.php?img=&key=d49e236f730b63a2

    Would Ideally like a pickup, or meet-up halfway (distance dependent). For anyone with a project studio, I don't think you can get finer that a 'one thing does most' studio combo. The original power on/off rocker switch has been replaced (as visible in pics)

    The 1x15 has been replaced with a Beyma LX60 (Version1) after the original SWR cone's centre started to make a bid for freedom many years ago! Specs of the Beyma can be found in the link: The addition of the 1x15 really helps add some weight to the sound, although the combo alone is perfectly suited to most normal playing situations.

    Both have had covers since day 1, so the carpeting is in excellent condition and I even dragged out the original spiral bound Super Redhead manual... Am sad to let these go, but hopefully someone out there knows the SWR legacy and wants to put these to good use - Sometimes lighter doesn't always mean better...

    A few specs:

  3. Skezza purchased my beloved Musicman Sterling recently. Great communicator and so easy to deal with. Anyone buying or selling with him can do so in absolute confidence. 

    Richie

  4. Price now dropped to £350 for quick sale.
     

    Up for sale is my much loved Epifani Piccolo Bass Head. In these testing times, I'm having to have a thin down of equipment.

    Purchased new direct from Epifani in March 2018, this head has been racked since the day it arrived. It is listed as a Piccolo 555, but has had the 1000w Power Amp Upgrade (@4ohms) so you'll never run out of heft!!!

    This superseded the ul501 in development and is class D so super light in the hand.  Also, and could be handy for soulful vibes is the vintage button, which emulates the behaviour and voicing of tubes. 
    Here’s a link to the epifani website for all the details...

    https://www.epifani.com/piccolo

    I am happy to include a basic courier cost in the asking price of £400 to anyone in the UK and should you wish to up the level of insurance then I'm sure we can work something out. Comes with power lead, rack ears and packaging.

    Any questions then please ask.

  5. 1 minute ago, Quatschmacher said:

    It looks a bit lighter in the photos so might actually be Cherry Sunburst rather than Honeyburst. It’s easier to tell in person. 

    Fair one, I'd say the photos are pretty accurate to the actual colour. Saying that I'm colour blind as a bat, but suffice to say what it looks like to me in real life is what it looks like in the photos!

  6. Up for Sale is my much loved, played and looked after Musicman Sterling. This is a USA made Sterling from 1996. 

    Unfortunately needs must and I am offering it up for sale at a fair price.  For those Musicman fans out there, this is the period where Musicman recessed the neck plate! Hopefully you can see it is in great condition for a 23 year old instrument. There are a couple of dings (headstock) and some shallow marks on the body which I've tried to pick up in the pictures where visible. Apart from that the usual signs are there for an instrument that has seen many years of being played. As pointed out I have taken an image of a small ding on the radius of the fretboard on the 4th fret.

    On the scales, the weight is a manageable 9.5lbs

    The serial number lists the instrument as:

    Manufactured October 15th, 1996
    Model BASS STERLING SUNBURST ROSEWOOD
    Controls Single Pickup, 3-band active preamp; vol, treble, mid, bass
    Switching Single Pickup - 3-way lever pickup selector

    The Bass comes with the original Musicman Hard Shell Case. I would rather the buyer collects (if at all possible under currently social distancing) or happy for buyer to pay for courier service with an acceptable level of insurance. 
     

    Sorry no trades or offers on this one as it is fairly priced for an instrument of this quality.

    Any questions then feel free to PM me and I'll come straight back when I can!
