I had a contour 500 and it was manageable yes. And what a great sounding combo

Would that price be including posting?

Hi what's the location? How's much does the amp itself weigh please?

nice looker

Bargain

I can vouch for how good a pair of these work on a stage

Lovely bit of Flame Maple.
Must not buy 6 string.
must NOT buy 6 string!

Location please?

I would go with it being a modified 315. I had a stock 315 in the same sunburst, lovely bass. The neck was thin with a fairly wide flat fretboard. Good stuff

What state is the neck in now?

How do. I thought these were heavy basses - is the 8.3lbs weight what you recorded? Anyway, have a BUMP!

Is this active?

sold?

Lovely.

From where

nice

quality combo these!

looks like a bargain this!

Yikes, an extra string [i]and [/i]more controls to fiddle with. This'll take some getting used to.


For a moment I thought I'd bought this bass mentioned earlier but it still says SGC on one of the pickup covers.

The BC five string I had was really easy to play. A dream. As five strings go anyway

Very pleased to have picked up one of these yesterday. From the info in this thread I've ascertained it's Japanese, made in 1991 and probably a SB315.
In good nick and for the price I paid it seems like I couldn't have found a better bargain.

photos would be good

Is the Speaker On/Off switch 'to all intents' a Mute button or not?

Very nice basses these. Good price that too. GLWTS

nice, very nice. And it's good to see the grain on the neck - many BCs have a solid colour masking this

Hi Matt ... You have probably done this already and I am a complete technophobe , but I had a similar problem with my 6.2 head .. Replaced a valve on Bass Directs advice and has solved this issue for me .. J

I wondered if you're onto something haimesy. The fact that the noise goes away suggests its as something heats up - so a valve may be a fair bet?

Would you consider a trade for some Gibson Y fronts?
