I bought an Ampeg Heritage B15 from Mark. Apart from my house and car, this was one of the most expensive things I've ever bought and Mark made things very easy. I was slightly nervous about sending someone I'd never met a four figure sum, but Mark was brilliant with his comms and I felt totally at ease. He's been a real gent. Amp arrived today and I will be putting it through it's paces tonight at rehearsals. Thanks Mark, I appreciate you selling this beauty to me.

[quote name='DrBike' timestamp='1416937435' post='2615273'] Just out of interest, what cab were you using with it? [/quote] Im using the matching 115. Pretty impressed with it too. I had an Ampeg combo a year or two ago and had to reglue the cab joints to stop it rattling, but this is solid.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1416919839' post='2614981'] .. as I rather like that little amp. [/quote] I absolutely love it, 13 months with zero problems, so I'm happy to give them another chance. It's so perfect for 80% of the gigs we play, GAK are going to take it back, no questions asked. Looks like I'm going to have to bodge something together with my VT Bass DI and an old power amp for my gig next week!

Cheers gents, I'll see what GAK says and then go from there. 10 mins research shows I'm not the only one who's PF-500 has turned into a smoke machine.

10 minutes ago... I was practising at bedroom level, I lost signal, it started buzzing and then went 'bang' filling the room with burnt popcorn smelling smoke! It's 13 months old, but just checked on the Ampeg site and it's covered by a 2 year warranty. Phew. Does anyone know who to contact in the UK with warranty claims? Thanks, Chris

I saw Squeeze on TV using a few fans on stage - tracked them down and it's called a Vornado 733. Managed to get one from Germany on eBay for about fifty quid. It even keeps the dancing punters cool!

Are you hanging on to this Mark or are you still considering selling it? -
I tried a digital EQ pedal last night (with a slight mids tweak) and this will work a treat and means I don't need to buy anything! Thanks for all the info and advice on this, really appreciated. Chris

Hello all, We have a couple of numbers in our set list that require me to turn up my volume just a bit for a whole song or just part of a song. I don't want my tone to change, I just want increased volume. I'm a big fan of 'simple stuff', especially in a live playing situation. Will a clean boost pedal (with any tone controls set flat) do this for me? Clean boost pedals seem to range from 30 quid to hundreds. As I don't want tone shaping, will a simple EHX LPB-1 be OK or am I better off stumping up the extra for an Xotic or Basswitch pedal? Cheers Chris

Very interested in this - would be good to see some decent photos up when you get the chance Mark? Cheers Chris

Stage monitor which is small, powerful and high-quality?

I bought the behringer. I run my bass (and the rest of the mix) through it on quieter gigs. I run it very middy as it farts out with with too much bass guitar signal running through it. As long as I can hear the notes I'm playing, that's fine - great tone? No! -
I have a John East pre on my RW Jazz, I aged it with some echant solution - looks like it's been there for 50 years! Such a versatile pre and a wonderful bass to play. -

Garden looks a bit miserable this time of year. You want to see it in April!!! I don't need anything at the moment, so no trades this time around, sorry. Thanks for asking though. -
bump - treat your pre' to a new years present!

Walker replied to Walker's topic in EUBs & Double Basses For Sale
Yes, I'm really impressed by the Armstrong pup. It simplfied gigging for me. This EUB always gets heaps of attention - which is nice for bass player It's a fine instrument and one I would love to keep, but I'm moving house and we need other stuff more than this... apparently! -

Here you go. Any questions, just ask. Cheers Chris -
[b][color=#ff0000]ON HOLD pending the usual [/color][/b] [b]Bespoke Superlight EUB[/b] Bespoke Superlight EUB with Kent Armstrong magnetic pickup, any double bass pickup can be fitted into the bridge too, comes with D'Addario Helicore light strings and K+M stand. Nice low action so great to play and everything folds away into the padded bag. The neck is also detachable for the world tours. I bought this from slobluesine back in 2011 for about £900, but I’m just not playing it live, so I’m going to see if there is any interest on here. £750 (based in Swansea)

Anyone fancy some warm detail and harmonically rich midrange that made the Mullard sound so famous?
