    Nice bass! Bump just because Rick Danko from The Band played one - looks cool as on The Last Waltz.

    my 1st bass amp was a Warwick c180 combo - [url="http://www.wikizic.org/Warwick-WAMP-C180/gallery-1.htm"]http://www.wikizic.org/Warwick-WAMP-C180/gallery-1.htm[/url] which I bought 2nd hand when I was 16. I was the envy of all the other bassists in school at that point as they were using small 30w Laney combos and the like. It was great and still being used by the guy that bought it off me - a mate. Next up was a Peavey Mk VI head and a battered Peavey 4x10 cab. I sold the Peavey cab and replaced it with the Warwick 410 Pro that I still use. Sold the Peavey head to make way for the Ampeg SVT 3 Pro. Also have the Ampeg BA300 115 (currently for sale on here) which I leave in the rehearsal room.

    ........now, apparently there is a certain, non UK based company selling these new for a silly price. Don't know what shipping costs plus import tax would be on top though. UK wise they're anything between £580 and £645 new. Clearly, I can't compete with a huge, non UK company, but given it is used (though in brilliant condition and not used much at all), I have decided to drop the asking price a little to suit. £350 inc flightcase last reduction!

    So, having traded a Gibson SG bass for this, the time has come to move it on to release funds for another cab I have my eye on, [b]It's an [/b][b]Ampeg BA300 115 combo[/b], and in brilliant condition. It's now roughly 2 yrs old or so. This is being sold as I would like to release some cash to purchase a Barefaced S12T ideally. I also own an SVT 3 Pro so have something to use in the meantime. I traded my bass for it in April / May and have done roughly 10 or so gigs with it. It's in great condition, what with being flightcased - the lid only comes off for gigs, and it stays in the base. I[s]'m asking [b]£300 for it[/b] minus the flightcase...or £400 with. [b]£350 with flightcase - take it off me so I can buy a Barefaced!! Final reduction before I ebay it.[/b][/s] [size=5][b]AND IT'S SOLD!![/b][/size] Links to amp details - [url="http://www.ampeg.com/products/bassamp/ba300/115.html"]http://www.ampeg.com.../ba300/115.html[/url] [url="http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/product/21287-ampeg-ba300-115.html/?r=ks&gclid=CP7t6Y2wjKgCFcoa4Qod8mx6Cg"]http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/product/2128...CFcoa4Qod8mx6Cg[/url] Ampeg said: RMS Power Output: 300-Watts Class-D LF Driver: 1 x 15" speaker HF Driver: 1 x HF horn w/ Level control Preamp: Tube (1x 12AU7) Tone Controls: 3-Band EQ Mid Tone Control: Style Ultra High / Ultra Low switches: Yes Variable Compressor: Yes Line Out: Yes, tube-driven balanced XLR and unbalanced ¼" TS w/ Level control, Pre/Post EQ switch and ground lift Effects loop: Yes Removable casters: Yes Dimensions (W x H x D inches): 21.25 x 21.5 x 16 Handling Weight: 60 Pounds Link to flightcase details - [url="http://shop.castlecases.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=30_69&products_id=861"]http://shop.castlecases.co.uk/product_info...products_id=861[/url] Castle Cases said: This is a full touring ATA spec flightcase, custom made to suit an AMPEG BA 300 115 Bass Combo, with a shallow base leaving the Combo sitting in a shallow tray after the lid is removed.

    I now own this exact combo, having traded it with Wooks79. It's great, portable and handy for most gigs..... sadly though, it's time for it to go up for sale.... I will be putting it up via my own thread shortly..... It's in the exact same condition, having used it for probably 10 gigs or so. I'm looking to free up some cash for another purchase.......... Cheers,
  12. bassintheface
    ha, that would be tooo easy wouldn't it!! I've got a selection of things really but depends on what you'd be looking for. I'm not sure an SVT3 Pro or a flightcased BA300 combo would be what you're after........
  13. bassintheface
    are you looking for a cash only deal if you were to part with it?
  14. bassintheface
    I would be interested in buying it!!
  15. bassintheface
    Thnaks guys - couldn't get online for a day and I did a quick handwritten transcription myslef but I will pass these on also. Cheers all!
  16. bassintheface
    Yeah, thanks for that but he's after the notation as it's for a 15 yr old to play in a concert / school production. I don't think he wants to sit and transcribe it - he's pretty busy at the moment I think. I'll probably end up having to do it ........if I can grab 15 mins!! If anyone has already transcribed it would you mind?? please! Hhe wants to rehearse it tomorrow apparently!

    Hello all, just a quickie, and a bit short notice at that but a teacher friend is after bass guitar notation (TAB at a push) for this song for a school Christmas concert next week!! Nothing like being organised .......... Does anyone have anything? Thanks all!!
  18. bassintheface
    Like you've already stated - it does depend on who you are, where you are and the type of venue / gig. We're out on NYE - 3rd year running at the same venue. It's pretty local (which is good because my wife will be 8 1/2 months pregnant so I can be on call to shoot over to the hospital if needs be) there's a full house PA with eng supplied - it's a 'proper' venue so it's got proper gear. We also get looked after with meals etc. We're doing it for £1800.00 - it's nothing like double our normal fee but given the locality of it, the fact that the PA and Eng are provided etc we're happy with that. Re christmas gigs - we've got a load of party nights at a local(ish) nice spa hotel. Again, we've done this for the last 3 or so years and we do quite a lot of work there. We're doing them for roughly £900 per gig as they're all 1 hr sets, they're on consecutive days (its like Thurs, fri, sat and sun) so we can leave the gear set up - 1 load in and set up, 1 pack down and load out.

    don't want to sound too 'gloaty' but I'm playing Wembley stadium on sat! Yes, playing my bass, in a band, inside, on a stage...........and getting paid too!! That's Murrayfield (twice), Old Trafford (twice), The Millennium Stadium, Elland Rd (also playing there on 19th Nov). It's a bit Spinal Tap, but I love playing stadiums!! It's the Rugby League Gillette 4 Nations - this sat is the 'big' double header: Wales v NZ at 1pm, then Eng v Aus at 3ish. We're there as usual as the RFL house band..........there's also some attractive cheerleaders...... ; ) anyone going??
  20. bassintheface
    I've played at Alexanders a few times. It's ok, quite nice. No stage. It's been a few years but don't remember any real 'issues'. Bit of a rubbish response really!!
  21. bassintheface
    Traded. Gone now. Thanks all.
  22. bassintheface
    alright mate.........

    [quote name='Monckyman' post='1273005' date='Jun 17 2011, 05:59 PM']Can`t you use a mute for the Brass stuff?[/quote] Nope, well, not a 'standard' mute anyway - a mute colours the sound - it doesn't really reduce the volume (it does slightly) - there are many different types for different sounds / textures etc You can by specific practise mutes but even these aren't 'perfect' - not bad though. Ie - trumpet or cornets can have many including straight mutes, cup mutes, harmon mutes and so on for different effects. There is a system by Yamaha called "silent brass" - you insert a sort of mute into your instrument - it hardly lets any sound out to be fair, it has a pickup / transducer inside - this has a wire which is attached to a little amp type box with a vol control and some pre set 'rooms' - ie, church, concert hall, small room etc. There is a line out and a headphone out. To be fair, they're pretty good but the trouble with putting anything inside your bell is that it makes you play sharp - you're then compensating with your lip or tuning slide. Not ideal at all for 'standard open practise', but better than nowt I guess. As a tuba player, the cost of a Yamaha silent brass system was pretty prohibitive - plus, it's not actually been available for bigger instruments until recently. I started playing tuba at 12 - luckily we had a detached house and I could bugger off to a room away from everyone else. Other than home practise it was practise at school, college, Uni etc to keep disturbances to a minimum. Now I just keep my amp on low at home in another room. The wife is cool with it. In terms of band rehearsals, we're dead lucky in that our singer's folks' converted their double garage into a fully soundproofed rehearsal & recording studio for their 2 sons. We still have use of it 13 years on! It's 2 floors, glazed vocal booth, storage, wall xlr patch panels etc and it's FOC! Granted, we're DEAD lucky!
