  1. [color=#333333]I'm selling a Hartke A100 'silver series' bass combo amp. It's a 100W amp with graphic equaliser and 15in aluminium speaker cone. As far as I can tell, the only difference between the regular model and 'silver series' is the silver coloured front grille. [/color] [color=#333333]It's a discontinued model, and the remaining stock is going for between £200 and £400 online. I'm asking £90 collected from Hove (sorry, no posting for reasons of hassle and cost). [/color] [color=#333333]It was my regular gigging amp for a couple of years and is both powerful and clean-sounding. Never needed the volume more than halfway up for the pub and club gigs we did. [/color] [color=#333333]The construction is proper solid. The only noticeable marking is a small hole in the carpet covering, which I've shown in the second photo. The amp works perfectly and there's a printable manual here: [url="http://www.samsontech.com/site_media/legacy_docs/A70-100_ownman_v1s.pdf"]http://www.samsontec..._ownman_v1s.pdf[/url].

[/color] [color=#333333]Here's what the maker's web page says: [/color] [quote][color=#333333]"The A100 is a complete bass combo that features a matched 15" aluminum cone driver in a specially designed cabinet which can be used in the typical flat floor position or in a special kickback position for increased high-end clarity and sound dispersion. [/color] [color=#333333]"With professional features like Bass, Treble and 7-band graphic EQ tone controls, bipolar circuitry and Effects Loop send and return jacks, the A100 is as comprehensive as it is versatile. [/color] [color=#333333]"Delivering 100 watts of output power to its driver, this versatile bass combo is ideal for use in small venues and home recording studios. Plus, its dedicated CD/MP3 input and Headphone output makes it an exceptional practice amp." [/color][/quote] [color=#333333]If you're interested, come and give it a try. Does sound nice.[/color]
  2. [color=#333333]This is a Line6 BassPOD xt Live multi-effects box for bass guitar. I've used it, but not excessively (I was too dim to get on with the UI). [/color] [color=#333333]Though discontinued it's still a modern-sounding bag of tricks with: [/color] [color=#333333]* Amp and cab modelling [/color] [color=#333333]* 64 memory banks for your custom sounds (or use the presets) [/color] [color=#333333]* 50-plus 'stompbox' effects [/color] [color=#333333]* Volume/expression/wah pedal [/color] [color=#333333]* Big pedal interface for easy live use [/color] [color=#333333]* Built-in tuner and tempo tap [/color] [color=#333333]* Backlit display with full EQ [/color] [color=#333333]* USB interface and aux input for MP3 players, drum machines etc [/color] [color=#333333]* Full midi interface. [/color] [color=#333333]The amp and cab models are based on everything from Fender to Ampeg to Marshall to GK, or just use it as multi stomp-box with effects including echo, delay, distortion, octave-down, flanger, phaser, wah and various synths. [/color] [color=#333333]It's in good condition and comes in an original Line 6 padded gig bag, with mains power supply and manual. [/color] [color=#333333]This cost me over £300 when I bought it. It's now discontinued, but GAK's last price for it was £199 without the case. I'd like £100 (plus postage or collected from Hove). [/color] [color=#333333]I will entertain posting this one at the buyer's expense, though I should point out that it's fairly heavy and quite large (20in x 11in x 3in plus padded bag with pouch). [/color] [color=#333333]Anyway, it's a very well thought-of bit of kit with an almost unlimited spectrum of pleasant noises to be had. If you're interested come and have a go. [/color] [color=#333333]Apologies to overseas members but I'm not willing to post outside the UK.[/color]
  3. This is a barely played Fender Japan JB66B Jazz Bass, one of a limited number exported to Europe in 2013 (it was a domestic-only model at the time). No more being made due to Fender Japan's sudden defunctness. Gorgeous looking thing in Olympic white with matching headstock and blocks-and-binding rosewood board. Solid Japanese construction quality. Purists would presumably want to replace the tuners with lollipops and get a less horrid-looking scratchplate. More pics: [url="http://s326.photobucket.com/user/dgreene101/slideshow/"]http://s326.photobucket.com/user/dgreene101/slideshow/ [/url] I could never get on with the neck myself, cos it's a bit chunky up the dusty end and I like 'em skinny. But if you're into vintage profiles, or one of them who feels more drawn to P-bass necks, this could be your baby. I got Bernie Goodfellow to set it up with dinky light little strings (Ernie Ball 40-90s) but it's still not for me. Cost a grand new through Thomann back in the day. It didn't come with a gig bag, but I'll throw in a rudimentary one and make sure it's bubble wrapped like crazy for postage. You're also welcome to come try it out (Hove nr Brighton) and take it away. I'm asking £750, which I reckon is good value for something that is sadly now quite hard to come by in this neck of the woods. Talk to me about delivery if that's what you prefer. Sorry to overseas members, but for reasons of paranoia and hassle I'm not willing to post this outside the UK. Do please ask me stuff.
  4. Sorry, managed to list this one twice -- happy for anyone to delete who knows how. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/263125-fender-japan-66-jazz-bass-2013-limited-ed-mint-ow-matching-headstock/"]Here's the real listing[/url]

  6. [quote name='Emanew' timestamp='1395011921' post='2397827'] Finally, the main subject is the neck which is "noticeably thicker than the early 60s and modern ones". I have to try one to make up my mind. [/quote] If it helps, I took a Vernier gauge to the necks of this one and compared with a Roadworn Jazz. Not sure how accurate I can claim these to be, but here are the numbers I ended up with (measured twice and averaged): 3rd fret JB66B 22.2mm, RW 22.13mm 9th fret JB66B 24.9mm, RW 24.2mm 12th fret JB66B 25.4mm, RW 24.9mm So it's a bit less sharply tapered, I think,
  7. Don't know about sounding different but they do apparently tend to float away ... [url="http://www.space.com/14657-guitar-learning-play-space.html"]http://www.space.com...play-space.html[/url]
  8. I got one of these. It looks and sounds lovely, is nicely built, only downside for me is the neck is a bit thicker than I'd expected -- not p-bass fat or Warwick thick, just a little thicker than the J-bass norm. Good old internet shopping. Assume that's some kind of period detail, and it seems to add a bit of extra woody thunk, it's even still a fast neck somehow, but I like 'em shallow so I'm probably going to sell it. As others have noted, it's not a let's-pretend period re-creation, but it is a really nice combination of good-lookingnesses. Bit annoying that they painted the 'period' varnish over the binding and fitted a cheap scratchplate. Neither of these things has affected my enjoyment of the instrument.
  9. Thanks! Yes I'm buying a replacement neck and was asked to specify. Came to the conclusion that if I ordered standard size I'd manage to find something to fit.
  10. Sorry, I've spent so long trying to get an answer to this off the internet that I might as well have taken the bass apart and measured it but ... Does anyone happen to know for sure whether the current American Standard Jazz Bass with the lightweight tuners (XPS-1C?) has the usual 11/16 (17.4mm) holes, or the smaller 14mm ones? A million zillion thankyous in anticipation
  11. Old old thread, but if folks are still interested I bought a set of JVXs off Moonbass to put in a Mexi-jazz, and was able to A-B test them with JVs in an American Standard Jazz. Personally I found the JVs had more character and complexity while the JVXs cut through the live mix better. YMMV. Haven't tried the J set so can't offer any opinions, sorry. Now, who knows what Jazz Bass pickups I need to sound like Brian Ritchie[s] tuning up[/s]?
  12. Happy to to give Lou a gold star. He couldn't have been more helpful -- easy transaction, fast postage, kept me informed throughout, and the Jazz Bass is very nice too. Thanks!
  13. Portable? Hmm. I've been using one of these (BX1200) for pub gigs for years now. Bought it because at the time, it was the best combination of small and loud I could find on my budget. Sound, as others have noted, is OK. Nothing to write home about, but usable. Reasonably loud for what it is. At 22kg it should be reasonably portable, but actually the kickback shape makes it the single most unpopular bit of kit in our band. It's just really awkward and uncomfortable to carry, and we've had more than a few barked shins and twisted shoulders between us. It's too small for two to carry, and for one person there's really no health-and-safety-approved lugging method. I've no experience of the little lightweight Gallien Kruegers, but mightn't the MB115 be worth a look?
  14. Bought a set of EMG Jazz Bass pickups from Andy -- all complete and in perfect nick, really well packaged and arrived quickly too. Really pleased with the deal.
  15. Thanks folks Good forum full of useful knowledge and bass guitar pr0n, what's not to love?
