    Yeah, anyone taken it? I'm up for it!
  2. SimonH
    Yeah, I thought that too.

    That's absolutely brilliant. Thank you! Exactly the sound, clear-cut advice and info I need. Just goes to show you shouldn't believe the internet forums that say you shouldn't believe anything you read on internet forums... :-)

    Hi - got a G-K 210T (2 x 10 cab) which has a pair of 150 watt, 8 ohm 10in cones in it that... 1) aren't original... can't remember what they're called but I think they were budget, and 2) are no longer of this earth after I re-wired them from 4 ohm total to 8 ohm, then blew them up. Doh. I'd like to recone the cab, and turn it into a neat little combo with a suitable compact head. 500 wats or so should be plenty for pubs and smaller weddings, but I'd like the option to run the combo into my 8 ohm MB HF410 for a bigger sound when required. So... if you made it this far, thanks! The question is, what cones should I purchase, and from whom? Weight and cost aren't necessarily an issue (unless it's, like, a squillion quid). As a further note, I've been told it's tight between the cones in the cab, and I have to make sure the cones' outside diameter isn't too big... but I can check this. Or bodge it. Many thanks for all suggestions. Simon H

    Replied dude!

    Gah! I sort of want to keep it too, but I've tried and 5 strings is one too many. Someone, please? Don't make me eBay it.

    Post-Reef-supporting bump!

    So this is weird. I'm in a covers band based in Peterborough called High Rollers - four-piece, usual rock/pop/disco covers. Been playing bass for a year and a half, playing guitar for a lot longer (funny how things turn out; shoulda played four strings all along). Anyway, this Friday - as in tomorrow night - we've managed to get ourselves onto the bill at Triumph Live, a ma-hoosive two-wheeled party at Mallory Park race circuit between Leicester and Hinckley. It's an annual knees-up for Triumph, the bike manufacturer, who are currently enjoying massive worldwide sales success. Their comeback against the Japanese bike factories is an amazing story of entrepreneurial flair and dedication - British engineering at its best. So they have this big festival every year at Mallory, and this year it's headlined by Reef on Friday and the Kaiser Chiefs on Saturday. And, somehow (don't ask), High Rollers are opening the show. And then playing again in the paddock at 11.00pm. I mention this apropos of nothing at all (copyright A Partridge) other than... IT'S REALLY, REALLY COOL! Thank you.

    I know, I know... I'm not selling it back for £200 to you Russ... :-)... oh, hang on, yes I would. Another day or two of this, then... I'll burn it. I will! Thanks for the kind words, dudes!

    :-) Ta mate. You're not exactly sane yerself.
  11. SimonH
    Bumped. Am I bonkers or is this a good deal? I might actually buy it off myself, then I'd have the guitar AND the money....

    Tried offering this for trade but no takers, so it's the last stop before I put it in the attic and forget about it. £200 is a bit daft for a guitar this good, but gotta feed the need for new gear! [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It's a mega-deep trans blue (almost black) Ibanez [/font][/color][color=red][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]ATK405[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] in clean condition and no issues.

Made in Korea in 2000.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It’s an absolutely amazing instrument to play – the fretboard is flat, action is ultra-low but no fret-buzz, frets are hardly played, and it's a doddle to use; [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I’ve got diddy fingers and I’m perfectly comfortable on it.

[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]When I got the ATK it was missing the trussrod cover at the top of the neck: I bought a new one. I also fitted a set of DR DDTs, which have two gigs on them. So they’re as new.[/font][/color] As I say, I was looking to trade for another bass but I'm over it now; I want a MB combo instead. So unless you can trade one of those (cash your way, obviously), the ATK has to go. £200 is a give-away, but I can't stand stuff sitting around not being used while I want to buy something else. I'm also selling a '79 Ibanez Roadster and an Akai Unibass elsewhere on Basschat (as soon as I get the pics up).

    Where are ye? And name a price!
  14. SimonH
    Ibanez ATK405, minty condition,wide range of tones, fantastic neck and if it wasn't for that pesky B I'd be keeping it and loving it.
  15. SimonH
    Bumpage...
  16. SimonH
    Still here, plus new pics etc... so what we're saying is no-one wants to swap my <insert description of ATK405 based on experience, prejudice or hearsay> ATK405 with their <insert anything from fantasy Sandberg to splintering lump of ply strung with cheesewire>?

    Sunday bump. Some interest, nowt solid. Still into Ibanez in a big way too... and Yamaha...
  18. SimonH
    Certainly would. Bought it from eBay a while back. I'll revisit my buying history and find out what I paid for it! Probably too much... :-)
  19. SimonH
    Cool! Fancy a swap for a 5-er?

    Hi – really don’t want to let this go, but can’t switch between four strings and five strings during a gig without getting black looks from the singer every time I go for the E and get a B instead. So here it is, a mega-deep trans blue (almost black) Ibanez ATK405 in near-mint condition and no issues. Specs are 24-fret maple neck and board, 34” scale, five-way switch between triple coil bridge and single coil neck. Made in Korea in 2000. It’s an amazing instrument to play – the range of sounds are broad; you should be able to find something to love here. The neck isn’t wide – I’ve got diddy fingers and I’m perfectly comfortable on it. When I got the bass (from another Basschatter) it was missing the trussrod cover at the top of the neck: I bought a new one. I also fitted a set of DR DDTs, which have two gigs on them. So they’re as new. I can’t tell you how easy this is to play, and how good it sounds – you can get a (rough) idea of the tones the ATK can stretch to below: But, as I said, I can’t play it live, and that’s what I need it for. So I’m looking to trade for… not sure. I’ve got a few ‘classic’ Roadstars and Roadsters, so I’m after something relatively modern, active and slappy. I’d be happy with a 4-string version of the ATK, but I’d think about Spector/Schecter/Warwick etc. Try me. Value-wise, I paid £250 for the ATK, which is a bit underpriced I think, but something between there and £300 is about right. I can top-up the deal with various pedals (including a boxed Akai UniBass)/fretless Ibanez/other stuff. Let’s talk! (The pics are a combination of old ones from the previous sale and online stuff; I can supply my pics later (but check feedback; I’m not messing anyone about!)

    Hmmm... still thinking... I'll PM and let you know
  22. SimonH
    Got a gig in Milton Keynes on Sat night... I'll be at the Black Cat roundabout at around 5.30pm in a bright green VW Transporter. Hmmm... let me think...
  23. SimonH
    You anywhere near Peterborough in the near future?
  24. SimonH
    Gimme gimme. PM'd.

    That Russ geezer... I tell you, all I wanted was a Markbass head to make me sound amazing, and he only went and sold me a 600w MoMark head at an excellent price that doesn't sound amazing... ...IT SOUNDS EVEN BETTER THAN THAT. And he also managed to sell me a mint Ibanez ATK405 too. Basically, avoid Russ if you want to sound rubbish and have a tiny-weeny bass collection. If, however, you want a smooth transaction, good comms and good value, you can deal with him with 100% confidence. Top bloke. Top sale. Cheers Russ! (Just in case you don't get it, I'm basically saying he's totally sound!)
