  1. I've just bought a speaker cab from Paul. Very helpful, straightforward transaction. He shipped it 'up-north' from London. It was well packed and arrived in great condition. Good guy to deal with. Cheers Pete
  2. Really surprised this hasn't gone - they are one of the best sounding acoustic basses around. Here's a recording I did earlier . . . I think I used the piezo and a normal mic and combined the signals
  3. I bought a guitar stand from Shaun and it was a very straight forward transaction. Shaun was very helpful throughout. He delivered the stand to a friend who lives in the same city very promptly - easily outperforming Fedex. A pleasure to do business with him.
  4. Hi! I would like to buy you Sinsonado bass. However, I live in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. Is there a possibility that we could meet halfway? Say somewhere on the M1 north of Derby. Cheers, Pete
  5. A really good, under-rated combo. I use it for my main amp - acoustic blues combo. For bigger venues I add an 8 ohm external speaker and it gives 250watts.
  6. Paul bought a rack tray from me. He seems a really good, understanding guy - especially when I made a bit of a cock-up of the despatch. A pleasure to deal with. Thanks. Pete
  7. Hi! Is this the 12v or the 9v version, and is there an XLR out? Cheers, Pete
  8. Hi folks, if anyone is interested I'm about advertise 4 micro racks for sale - I no longer use effects and they've been in a cupboard for at least 5 years. Do you think £50 each would be a fair price? If anyone from this forum wants too make me an offer I'll hold off putting them on Gear for Sale forum. RBF-10 Flanger RCE-10 Digital Chorus ensemble RCL-10 Compressor Limiter RSD-10 Digital Sampler delay I also have 2 x 2 micro-unit rack trays - although I can only find one at present
  9. PJB (Phil Jones) Flightcase lightweight 150w combo £300 (Current GAK price £679, Bass Direct £650) Weighting only 11 kg, this is the combo with 4 x 5" neo speakers - two of them upward facing. It has a remarkable bass response for such a small unit and in addition the small speakers are able to move fast enough to reproduce transients well. It is at the hi-fi end of bass amps. •[i]POWER:[/i] 150W •[i]WEIGHT:[/i] 24 lb / 11 kg •[i]DIMENSIONS: inch[/i] 12.6 x 15.75 x 13.6 •[i]INPUT:[/i] Active / Passive •[i]AC VOLTAGE:[/i] 100-240 Volt / 50-60Hz 4 x 5" PJB NeoPower (2 facing out and 2 facing up) 5 Band EQ, Optical limiter Fx send and return Line out, Tuner out, Headphone out, Balance line out I am selling it because I play an acoustic bass guitar - a Tacoma Thunderchief - which is very resonant and feeds back at very low volumes. The upward facing speakers, while being ideal for solid instruments cause the Tacoma to scream. I've used the amp successfully with a solid bass guitar where it really brings out the character of the instrument. Apparently it works well with EUBs. It is not the loudest of amps, but it does have an XLR out so can be DI -ed through the PA for larger gigs.

  10. Now sold. Thanks for the kind comments. A great amp and sorry to see it go.
  11. Thanks, guys. It really does ooze quality sound. I'll be sad to see it go - but I've got to face up to advancing years.
  12. SWR SM-400 rack stereo/mono amp with valve pre - £250 Designed by Steve Rabe, , the SM-400 was introduced in early 1985 and has been called "Legendary in the world of bass heads" by Bass Player Magazine. It is a rack-mountable and features: valve preamp (12AX7) 4-band semi-parametric EQ mono and stereo effects loop adjustable limiter aural enhancer electronic crossover stereo/bi-amp balance control output bridgeable for mono output XLR balanced out When used in the stereo mode, the internal power amplifiers of the SM-400 will deliver 300 watts @ 2 ohms, 240 Watts @ 4 ohms and 140 Watts into 8 ohms. When used in the Bridge mode, the SM-400 will deliver 250 Watts into 16 ohms, 400 Watts into 8 ohms and 420 Watts into 4 ohm loads. I'm including two quality bridge leads in the sale. A full description is available here: [url="http://support.swramps.com/manuals/pdfs/sm400om.pdf"]http://support.swram...dfs/sm400om.pdf[/url] When I used it I bridged the outputs and fed them to a 15' Eminence cab and a 2 x 10 Laney. If any one wants these they can have them both for £100. (No photos yet but I'll sort them if anyone is interested. The amp is in good condition and I really like the sound. I'm only selling because I'm too old to carry all this gear to gigs. I'm afraid I'm going to buy something that doesn't sound half a good but that I'm able to carry.
  13. AMPEG B-1R 150w 1u head with valve preamp £150 The B-1R is a compact 1u rack unit with a three stage valve preamp (2 x 12AX7) and a solid state power amp. The R refers to the (Rack) head rather than the combo version of the amp, not reverb. I originally bought it because it had 2 channels and channel switching by footswitch (not included - but normal Marshall type FS works OK). At the time I was playing a lot of solos with an acoustic rock group and this was a very useful feature. For a small amp it has a pretty high spec, with features such as a 15dB pad, Ultra Low and Ultra High switches and well as Bass and Treble pull shifts on the tone pots. It has an switchable optocoupler limiter. Sound-wise it is probably closer to an SVT Classic than an SVT Pro. Size 19" x 1 3/4" x 12 3/4" 15lbs It is fan cooled Full details can be found in the manual here: [url="http://www.ampeg.com/pdf/b1_b1r.pdf"]http://www.ampeg.com/pdf/b1_b1r.pdf[/url] I bought this about 5 years ago and I have rarely gigged it, most of the time it was in a rack case and used as a backup (or in this case not used). Selling because I need to downsize my collection of bass amps and buy a small lightweight combo. I've now sold this - thanks for looking!
  14. What do you think of Jerome Harris's sound from an acoustic bass guitar? http://www.jeromeharris.com/recordings/tormp3.mp3
  15. It's 4 ohms, but sorry it's now sold subject to the usual. Thanks to everyone who showed an interest.
  16. Playing with an acoustic band I use a Tacoma Thunderchief with Thomastik Phosphorbronze wound on Nyloncore Acoustic Bass strings (AB344). I reckon it sounds pretty 'acoustic' even when amplified. I can certainly get a more appropriate tone out of it than any of my solid basses. The biggest problem, when DI-ing into a PA is that it is very prone to feedback. Need a good engineer - or put it through a good rig, positioned at the side or in front.
  17. To [b] [size=3][url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/4742-ray-against-the-machine/"]RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE[/url] Sorry Ray, I'm trying to cut down - well my wife is trying to cut down on my basses![/size][/b]

  19. Mesa Walkabout Scout 300w Combo 112 SOLD subject to etc Price £800 (Current Thomann price £1763.40) Age related hearing problems mean that I've had to give up playing electric music and no longer need the volume that this great combo puts out - and although it is comparatively light (23 kg) I'm starting to find it a it a bit on the heavy side. I want to downsize to a lighter rig which is ok for acoustic music. I've used this with solid JP type basses and my acoustic bass guitar and it sounds great with both. It is in a good condition - only issue is the handle where some of the stitching has frayed - the handle is nevertheless sound (see last photo). The amp can be removed from the cab and used as a stand-alone 300w bass head. The Tolex is not the standard black, but a classic green colour. Slip cover included. Details from Mesa Boogie site:[list] [*]300-watt 1x12" Tube Bass Amplifier and Convertible Bass Head [*]Handbuilt in Petaluma, California [*]300 Watts at 4 Ohms [*]Simul-State Power/6 Tube-driven Power MOSFETs, 2x12AX7 [*]Active/Passive Inputs [*]4-stage Vacuum Tube Preamplifier featuring Gain, Active Bass, and Treble, Passive Mid, and a [*]3-Band Semi-parametric EQ that provides 15dB of cut or boost from 30Hz to 12kHz [*]Main Output Level Control [*]FX Loop with True Hard Bypass Switch [*]Balanced Direct Line Output with Level Control and Ground Lift Switch [*]2 - 1/4" Speaker Outputs [*]Fan Cooled [*]Player Control Network featuring: Selectable 3-point Crossover (3k/4k/5k), [*]Premium Horn Attenuator and Instant Reset Horn Protection [*]Speakers - 1 x 12" plus 1 x 8" down firing passive radiator [*]Preamp Tubes 2 x 12AX7 [/list] H 20.25" W 16.5" D 15" Weight 51 lbs Further details here: [url="http://www.mesaboogie.com/Product_Info/Bass_Amps/walkabout/WalkaboutScout/WalkScout.htm"]http://www.mesaboogi...t/WalkScout.htm[/url] Reviews: [url="http://www.mesaboogie.com/Reviews/BassPlayer-Scout/BassPlayer-Scout.htm"]http://www.mesaboogi...layer-Scout.htm[/url] [url="http://jazztimes.com/articles/15182-mega-boogie-walkabout-scout-bass-combo"]http://jazztimes.com...cout-bass-combo[/url] May be up for a trade for a Markbass Mini 121 or a 25w Mesa Express (Guitar) combo.

  20. HI Daz! Send me your email address and I'll send you some pics - still can't upload them - don't understand why not. Oh, and I'll need you postal address if I'm going to send them.
  21. I've 4 left hand side tuners from the 60s or 70s that a friend gave me some time ago. They have never been used but were held together with sellotape and the glue hardened over the years and looks messy on the chrome. However, I'm sure this can be removed to reveal shining chrome plate. No manufacturers name, but I would guess they are Japanese. They be fine for anyone making a bass on a budget or any one with a retro project. I'm having problems attaching a file. If you'd like to see a pic, send me your email address.
