  1. I'm starting to get a notion to play Electric Upright Bass - would be willing to trade/px the Eden cab for one of those if anyones interested?
  2. Hi All This item is in very good condition and includes a brand new HOT Covers leather style padded cover (worth around £40). Not sure of year of manufacture but its the uprated 350w version (not 250w) and features Jack socket & binding post inputs (not speakon) I recently sold this item but the buyer returned it saying it was faulty. I've thoroughly checked it over and there is NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. However, because of this experience I will now only sell it on a cash on collection basis where you can try the cab with my Eden WT550 head or your own amp to be sure you are fully happy with it before parting with your hard-earned cash! The cab can be demonstrated either in my home in Cirencester or at my rehearsal space in Cheltenham. I would also be perfectly happy to bring it along to you if you live local to me. I'm sure anyone looking at this advert will know about this already but PLEASE NOTE the Eden D210XLT has a sound which emphasises the mid frequencies which really helps your sound cut through on stage. If you intend to pair this with another cab, you may find this either works well and compliments your sound or perhaps isn't a good match and I think that was probably the problem with my previous buyer. If you like mid-scooped - it's not for you... I've paired this with an Eden D210XST and an Eden D212XLT and an Ashdown 1x15 and had great results with all of those but since buying an Eden head I'm switching over to using 4 ohm cabs since the head can run at 2 ohms. This is my last remaining 8 ohm cab. Price £240 cash (we can negotiate a lower price if you don't want or need the cover) Always happy to consider trades/px but I'm currently only interested in the following: Nemesis 2x12 cab 4ohm Nemesis 2x10 cab 4 ohm Nemesis 1x15 Warwick or Rockbass Fortress basses (I'm always interested in these if you ever have one for sale) Spector Legend 6 string bass Warwick Thumb Bleach Blonde 4 string Burny Les Paul style bass Washburn B20 bass A decent copy of an American 4 string bass beginning with the letter R that we're not allowed to mention for fear of lawsuit
  3. Hi All I'm looking for something interesting (any genre) and possibly more than one band. Gigging is what I'm after at the moment - don't want any bedroom projects or endless rehearsals with no gigs in sight - I've got that already! I don't care whether it's original material or covers so long as its interesting and fun. My current band has taken 18 months to record an album and it's still not finished! I'm getting stir-crazy and need to be out there doing it! I'm wrong side of 40 but that brings experience... Main instrument is bass but I can do a bit of keyboards and even the two together using midi bass pedals. Mortgage, job and dog probably means anything totally pro is out of the question unless you can promise me fame, fortune, sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll etc in which case just tell me where to sign... Use PM to contact me please. If you just reply to the topic I might miss it or not see it for a while. Can't give you any sound samples right now but pics are available below: [url="http://www.aftermath-band.co.uk"]www.aftermath-band.co.uk[/url]
  4. Sorry for the late response but I think it's relisted... slightly on the high side for a 4 stringer. I've bought two 5 string versions. One came from ebay - cost me £130 with hard case the other I bought from a retailer at £240 (it was like new). I reckon £150 - £200 depending on condition but Gator case is a bonus I guess. Been advertised a while and started at £280 - maybe he'll take an offer? Not many Fortresses about but to put it into perspective, you could get a genuine Warwick Fortress 4 string for around £400. There's one on Gumtree right now. What I can say is they're great basses. I have a Warwick Fortress and 2 Rockbass Fortresses. I'm looking to buy more as soon as funds allow.
  5. Did you know there's an 8 string version currently for sale on GumTree?... I kid you not! mind you he's looking for £1500
  6. Can't tell you age for sure - I'm 2nd owner. Not Speakon but uprated power handling (350w not 250w) so that might narrow it down a bit. Serial number: 34619
  7. Ashdown RC500 575 watt rack mount bass head - excellent condition. One of the last Made in England models before production moved to China. Will upload pics as soon as possible. £250 for quick sale (or trade/px for Eden WT-550 amp or 4ohm Eden D210XST) Courier £10 I have a Proel 2u ABS Rack case in the store room that I can include for an extra £10 if you want it. The case has a crack in the rear door but is otherwise in good nick and the crack doesn't affect useability in any way. Collection from Cheltenham/Cirencester (local delivery may be possible) or courier. I use UPS through interparcel.com but feel free to organise your own if you prefer. Item(s) will be well packaged. I like this amp a lot but now need an amp that will drive a 2 ohm load so have decided to go with an Eden WT-550 to match my Eden cabs.
  8. For Sale - Eden D210XLT 350 watt 8 ohm in excellent condition and supplied with brand new Hot Covers protective leatherette cover (value £40). These covers are excellent quality, very thick, padded and hard wearing. I'm only selling as I'm changing to 4 ohm Eden cabs. Collection from Cheltenham/Cirencester (local delivery may be possible) or can be couriered for £15. I use UPS through interparcel.com. Please feel free to arrange your own courier if you prefer. Item will be boxed and well packaged for transit. An absolute bargain at only £260 Open to trade/px for 4 ohm Eden D210XST or Eden WT-550
  9. Hey there Beaver... You got any Eden stuff left? tried to PM you but says you can't accept PM. I'm currently looking for a WT550 and a 4 ohm D210xlt - collection might be a problem if you're in Blackburn (I'm Gloucetsershire) but maybe we can work something out?
  10. Hi Folks Now withdrawn from sale - decided to keep it! For sale is a Line 6 Bass Floor Pod XT Live with Line 6 padded gig bag (or trade for Ashdown RPM-1 preamp) [url="http://line6.com/legacy/basspodxtlive"]http://line6.com/legacy/basspodxtlive[/url] Pics to follow over the weekend - mainly studio use but has been used at 2 gigs. This makes a great tool for both live and studio work - I used it live as a preamp into a Crown power amp and in the studio/home recording it has the very useful ability to output two signals at the same - one a "clean", DI unprocessed sound and the other a "modelled" output with your choice of amp, cab, mic fx etc. This gives you the ability to record two tracks simultaneously and blend the two tracks together. A fantastic piece of kit - only selling due to studio upgrades and a move to an Ashdown preamp for live work. Absolutely unmarked condition and comes complete with Line 6 padded gig bag, original printed manual and original power supply. Cost around £300 new with the case - looking for £150 delivered. BTW - the Line 6 user area/forum is a great resource for swapping new sounds and you can load these direct into your pod through the usb port. It also means you can download all your programs to your PC as a backup.

  12. As suggested by someone earlier in this thread - I bought a used beat-up Rockbass Fortress for £130 on evilbay and used the pickups and electronics to "rescue" my 1994 Warwick Fortress which was suffering after 1000's of gigs! Here's what I have learnt from ownership of many Warwicks and Rockbasses and from direct contact with Warwick: ALL MEC pickups are made in Germany (passive are marked as Dynamic Correction) and are fitted to both Warwick and Rockbass. MEC electronics as fitted to Warwick basses are made in Germany. Rockbass electronics made in China APART FROM Rockbass Fortress which bizarrely uses the full-spec MEC (2 band) electronics with the push/pull volume pot to bypass the eq!!! This probably explains why the Rockbass Fortress is more expensive than other Rockbasses. BTW - this push/pull pot was extremely useful if the bass was fitted with the passive (Dynamic Correction) pickups because if your battery died you could continue. I suspect it's pretty pointless if you have the active pickups because they will need the juice from the battery to work. Could be a nice way to store a second (or solo) sound maybe? I've never used it in this way as I always use the eq. I think they have chosen some good frequencies (100hz for bass, 2.5khz for treble) and I find a slight bit of boost on each pot is very nice and I use very little eq at the amp. I recently compared the MEC 2 band eq with EMG 2 band and there wasn't a huge difference. EMG slightly softer/more organic sounding maybe?. MEC seems slightly more "artificial" for want of a better word . The EMG EQ WAAAY cheaper and easier to fit so make a good replacement if your MEC eq needs replacing. My next step is to try EMG pickups and compare with the MEC

  14. never measured it with my Warwicks but should be consistent with your WAL. I just change them every few months regardless and give the used batteries to our guitarist as spares for his pedals! The only time I had an issue with battery life in my 'Wick was when I converted it to 18v. Sound was marginally improved but battery life was terrible. Could be measureed in weeks! I pretty soon went back to 9v.
