  1. I don't have issues with getting it in and out of the car, I've had other heavier cabs without side handles, never thought they were necessary, tilt and lift from the bottom.
  2. No, as with most of these type/shape of cab, you just stand behind it, tilt it towards yourself (this pulls it onto the castor wheels) and steer it with the handle.
  3. Very happy with my basses, just going a bit 'old school' with amps and cabs and don't mind lugging something heavier. Yes will miss it I'm sure- hard decision to come to.
  4. Now available at Bass Direct to sell. Reduced to a very reasonable £1385.00 Ok here we go, I have really struggled with putting up this advert but finally made the decision to sell this impressive rig. Made by KV2 audio (George Krampera) who is obsessed with sound reproduction of the highest order. This comprises of a kvb800 bass head with 4 button footswitch (contour, FX loop, compression and mute) also has 9v power outputs for pedals and two stackable bass cabs. One is a 15" speaker and the other is a 12" with a high quality horn. The whole system is pure class and tuned to work together. For this reason it would be preferable to sell as one lot. I will split if someone is interested in just the amplifier or the cabs. This has been the best sounding rig I have owned to date. Incredibly well built solid but not particularly heavy, also included is a full set of roqsolid covers. Also supplied with the original amplifier box, booklet, and rack ears for mounting the amplifier in a rack case. Grab a bargain, these retailed at about £3800.00 when new. Very few minor scratches on the cabs, the amplifier is unmarked. Nice practical touches include : a smooth contour facility, coloured corresponding lights with amp head and footswitch, di output and seperate level controls for all features. http://www.krampera.co.uk/wp-content/themes/twentyten/images/header.gif KVB 800 The KVB system centers around the KVB 800.

Like the B1 and B1T it is compact, lightweight and made of the same Baltic Birch wood with protective Polymer coating but replaces the 12â driver with a very high quality low inductance lightweight 15â speaker that delivers improved bass frequency response and adds real weight and improved definition. The B1B can be used as a stand-alone cabinet with the KVB 800 amplifier or as part of a larger system with either the B1 or B1T cabinet. http://www.krampera.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/B1B.jpg Applications High quality bass guitar system for use at home, the studio or in a live environment Scaleable system depending on the function.

Transcoil offers increased efficiency for greater clarity and output, very low distortion, high dynamics and a faster attack presenting the optimum load to any amplifier by virtue of its zero inductance. The 12â Transcoil technology found in Krampera products gives unprecedented definition that surpasses traditional multiple 10â designs. Constructed from Baltic Birch with a protective polymer coating the B1 is designed to withstand the rigours of live environments. When used with the KVB 800 amplifier it becomes a powerful and portable bass guitar system enhanced further by the optional addition of the B1B 15â extension cabinet. http://www.krampera.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/B1T-1.jpg Applications High quality bass guitar system for use at home, the studio or in a live enviroment Scaleable system depending on the function.

  6. Now mine after doing the deal. Superb kit. Very pleased.
  7. I am another happy customer of John's, got a jazz vvt wiring loom off him, top notch gear and the. build it went into is the only jazz bass with no extraneous noise or buzz at all.
  8. Wow, would love to take that off the wall and have a play on it!
  9. Now Sold. Boss OC-2 Octave pedal (made in Taiwan) well regarded analogue octaver in good condition and excellent working order - well it's Boss! Can't justify keeping two octavers so last one in is first out. A few scratches and marks commensurate with the pedals age. Price includes UK insured postage.
  10. Just purchased a 3 Leaf Wonderlove envelope filter off Dave. He held the pedal for me while I sorted funds and got it to me the very next day after I paid. Top notch Basschatter.
  11. Reduced to £130.00 Now sold. 3 Leaf Proton V3 limited edition white/gold 2018. Superb little envelope filter in as new condition with box and instructions. Velcro underneath, but not gigged. Price includes UK insured postage.
  12. SOLD/Traded. Boss Dynamic Filter FT-2 essentially an envelope filter/auto wah with expression pedal input for wah wah or even a static filter. Very nice sounding pedal with typical boss resilliance. Made in Japan, this one is in perfect working order and excellent condition for its age. I love envelope filters but can't afford to keep buying more without moving some on. Velcro underneath, price includes UK postage. http://www.bass-pedals.com/boss-ft-2-dynamic-filter-review/
  13. Now sold. Luminary v1 Octaver from Walrus Audio, with 4 octaves (2 up and 2 down) all variable with wet dry blend attack, filter, flutter controls and 3 presets. Incredibly versatile Octaver in absolutely pristine condition, completely unmarked with Velcro underneath, only selling as I have a Roland vbass for most of my digital effects duties. Takes a standard pedal 9v centre negative power source. UK insured postage will cost £8.00 Could be tempted by a tidy mxr bass octave deluxe or ebs octabass studio edition with some dosh my way. Luminary by Walrus Audio Walrus Audio’s new Luminary pedal is a very cool polyphonic pitch shifter with built-in Attack, Flutter (tremolo), and Filter (EQ) controls. In addition, the Luminary features one of the most intuitive control layouts I’ve yet reviewed. The interface is about as simple as they come, and about as useful as well: four knobs control the level of the pitch shifting over four octaves. I love the Luminary’s control knobs, and not only because they are of the somewhat expensive, machined-metal variety. Each pitch channel features its own level knob. If I wanted to add in just a bit of low end and a whole lot of high end, I could dial in the “-2” octave knob to, say, 10 o’clock and the “+2” octave knob to three o’clock. The separate level knobs for each octave channel really allow for the sort of sonic experimentation which other, more limited pedals, might restrict. The Luminary also sounds fantastic, and is capable of producing a lush, nearly orchestral wall of sound which will take a simple chord and transform it into something grand. It was fun to add in some octave up and two octave up tones to the mix and play something akin to a creepy melody for children—the sort of thing that a horror film might include on its soundtrack. Alternatively, the Luminary could produce a less creepy but equally compelling version of the pitch-shifted opening to Radiohead’s “My Iron Lung.” The Luminary really shined when its Attack and Flutter settings came into play. With Attack up around 10 o’clock, the Luminary seemed to reverse my signal, such was the effect of the signal swelling it introduced. Adding more Attack produced a more gradual swelling which seemed to function in direct proportion to the input level. Hard strumming, for example, would trigger a new swell with each hard down stroke. A bit of Flutter added in transformed the pitch-shifting pedal into a chorus-like pedal. But with more Flutter, the pitch-shifted tones began to flutter as if they had passed through a tremolo circuit. Turning up the Filter knob lets the higher pitches ring through, while turning it down transforms the output to a chorusy, watery, and organ-like sound. The closest sound I can think to describe is the final few bars in Nirvana’s “Come as You Are,” when the distorted, chorus-effected guitars ring out. When I added in a bit of low end, and set the Filter knob to bypass the higher frequencies, the Luminary produced a sound that reminded me of an underwater pipe organ. This setting was probably the most fun to play with, particularly because the texture of the sound was so interesting. The Luminary also features three presets, each of which is extremely easy to set. Once the Preset switch has been tapped, the pedal can cycle through the three settings with an additional tap for each one. Helpfully, the LED just next to the footswitch has a specific color associated with each setting. Some people might prefer an absurd number of programmable presets, perhaps something like 128, but for most people, the Luminary’s humble three will be more than adequate. The Luminary is a cool little polyphonic pitch shifter which ought to gain adherents. I imagine that many people who want to fill out their band’s mix will find a use for the pedal. After all, why resort to old strumming patterns when you can produce organ-like chord swells? It’s a great addition to the company’s already fantastic line of pedals, and would make a solid addition to pedalboards across the land. What We Like: Excellent polyphonic pitch shifting combined with a highly intuitive control layout. Additional settings include swelling (Attack), a low-pass filter (Filter) and a tremolo (Flutter). Concerns None.
  14. Please can anyone give me details for the best source to get some of the grub-screws for these bridges. I have 2 of these bridges on different basses- some of the height adjustment screws (hex/Allen key) are really tight on both and on one of them the 2 saddle adjuster screws are totally locked. The height adjustment ones I am guessing are at least 5mm probably nearer to 10 and the saddle adjustment ones are 3mm. I think they are all an m2 thread (they are all the same) and take a 1.3mm or 1/16" Allen key. Thanks in anticipation.
  15. Zon basses are amazing, top quality incredibly playable instruments
  16. Just sold a BackBeat to Gary, second time of dealing and an absolute pleasure. Thanks Gary Sean
  17. Thanks Grahame, wasn't intending to move this on- but can't keep it all, I have to move my other decent size rig out of our dining room- and I'd like to stay married!
  18. Cash as always is king, may be open to temptation, depends what it would be.
