  1. This is the 4th Ric I've owned, and I thought it was a keeper, but as usual something new and shiny has appeared on the horizon, so off it goes! Bought new by me from Thomann in 2016, it's played a few gigs and done a few jam nights, but mainly stayed in its case and been looked at lovingly. The band I'm in needs my Jazz, and not the raw growl of this beastie. The contoured S body shape is much more comfortable to play over any length of time, and the oiled walnut body looks superb. It's totally stock - even got the original strings. The case candy is unopened, and the pickup guard has never been taken off. There are a couple of tiny marks on the bottom, and the case has a few scrapes - but that's what it's there for. The pickup selector is a bit stiff, through lack of use - I always have it in one position for full roar - but works fine. It has the push/pull tone switch to give a 4001-u-like treble cut, but I always preferred it in 4003 position. £1950 gets it couriered to a UK mainland address £1850 if you collect it from Truro, Cornwall, or meet up somewhere within 100 miles of there - I will need a deposit for a meetup, unless you have super feedback on here 🙂 Bank transfer preferred please, but never say no to good old cash. I've not sold much on here for a while, but check out my feedback, if you have any doubts
  2. Sold my Ampeg V4B to Martin. Quick payment. Easy as an easy thing 🙂 Cheers matey
  3. On hold. Awaiting payment 🙂
  4. Very pleased to start a thread for Karl. He’s just bought an SVT212 cab off me. We met up, had a chat, exchanged goods for money, and went our separate ways again 🙂 All good
  5. Sold an Aria bass to Jimmy. Payment in my bank within 15 mins of agreeing to buy it. Couldn't ask for anything more 🙂 Cheers mate
  6. Just weighed it for a guy. 12lb 4 oz, according to my bathroom scales
  7. Isn't she beautiful!!! 45 years old and looking fantastic A 1977 Japanese Matsumoku Aria Pro II PB550 Fretless Bass. These were only made to order by the factory, between 1977 and 79, so they're rarer than rocking horse poo. Has the original DiMarzio pickup in it, and it sounds HUGE!!!! That maple neck gives it a classic fretless Mwaahhhh from its Fender flat wound strings. It's everything you would want from a fretless bass. Price includes courier to a UK mainland addresss
  8. An absolute one-off!! I bought this because I loved the stripes of the body. It's made from african Idigbo wood, with walnut and maple inserts. It was originally a Green/Williams build - luthiers based in the east Midlands, but as I did a lot of work on it, it's now a Green/Williams/Huxley - GWH It's got a Wilkinson single coil pickup, which is the most Ric sounding pup I've ever heard, so if that's your thing, then you'll love this!! If you're looking for something different from the usual Fender/Squiers, then this bad boy could be the one. Includes courier to a UK mainland address
  9. Price now includes courier to a UK mainland address
  10. Never thought I'd ever sell this bass, but it just doesn't get used often enough now, so I think it's time to move it on. A beautiful Fender Aerodyne Jazz in Gunmetal Blue. Crafted in Japan in 2006-08, according to the serial number. This is the rarer non-export model, with the normal Jazz knobs and scratch plate, rather than the export model which had no scratch plate and a Strat type jack socket. Excellent condition for its age, with just a couple of tiny marks on the front. No buckle rash or anything nasty on the back. Plays like a dream, with a big beefy P pup at the neck, and a more refined J at the bridge. Strung with Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky's, it really sounds the business. Price includes courier to a UK mainland address
  11. Never bothered bumping this, as we were all locked down at the time, but things are much brighter now, so let’s see who’s interested 🙂
  12. Bump to the top I will deliver as far as Bristol (from Cornwall) if this gets anyone’s juices flowing. I really don’t want to courier it, as the whole outfit is big and heavy, and I have no packing for the cab.
  13. V4B - £750 - delivered to a UK mainland address SVT212 - *SOLD* Send me a PM if you're interested, as I don't always see replies to this thread - thanks 🙂 This was always my ‘Sunday Best’ outfit, that I used on special occasions. Now I need to free up some cash for another expensive Boy Hobby, so it needs to go to a new home. 100w doesn’t seem a lot these days, but these are Ampeg, full fat, all valve, watts, and this thing will fill any pub or club with that wonderful Ampeg tone. Everything you want from an SVT, apart from the hernia lifting the thing. Weighs about half as much as it’s big brother, so it’s no flimsy Class D cigarette packet amp. The head was revalved with new power tubes and PAT tested in March 2019, and it’s done no more than 10 hours on them since then. Comes with a wraparound padded cover. Pretty much mint condition and full working order. I look after my stuff 🙂
  14. Bought a HandBox R400 from Brian. Couldn’t have been easier. Top bloke. Buy and sell with confidence.
  15. Sold a Hartke 3500 to Andrew No problems, and hopefully the start of a long career, here on BC 🙂
  16. *NOW SOLD* Picked up a V4B from here a couple of weeks ago, so my trusty PF500 needs to move on to a new home. Great little amp, with tons of poke and that warm Ampeg tone. Same size and weight as a laptop, which is why it lives in a nice padded laptop case. Pretty much mint condition and full working order. Done lots of gigs and rehearsals without even breaking into a sweat. £250 shipped to a UK mainland address. Bit cheaper if you can collect from Truro
  17. *Now sold* It’s a 500W, 4ohm cab, with adjustable tweeter. The cab is totally sound, and is quite compact for a 410. Has locking castors on the bottom to roll it about, but it’s an easy lift. It would cost serious money to courier this, so either come and try it at my house, just outside Truro, or we could meet up somewhere inside Cornwall
  18. Just bought an Ampeg V4B off Bob. As everyone says, no problems at all Cheers 🙂

  20. I’m a fully paid up member of the I love Ampeg Club - better make that clear at the start. I’ve had an SVT3 and it was OK on its own. Sounded much better with a BDI21 in front of it, but that sort of defeated the object - Ampegging an Ampeg to make it more Ampeggy. i currently have a PF500, which bought after owning an Orange OB1-300 for a while and hating the thing. The PF gets much closer to what I think of as the Ampeg sound, and I can carry it around in a laptop case. I’ve also got a Micro VR, which was for small gigs and a lightweight backup. I gave it a full band rehearsal last week, and it sounded absolutely amazing. Full, deep, well rounded. I’d forgotten how good it was. OK, it’s ‘only’ 200w into 4ohms, but every single one of them was just perfect. Yes, in an ideal world, I’d have an SVT and an 8x10, but we play small pubs and clubs, and it would make no sense at all. So, maybe give the SVT3 a miss and look at some others. They’re certainly not ‘meh’!!! 🙂
  21. Last chance before it goes to The Bay - £325 delivered to UK mainland address 300 watts of Old Skool Orange Goodness
  22. Hi Paul Good to see you on here. I imagine you’ll be hitting the For Sale threads soon ;-) Dave
  23. Selling this Orange OB1-300 bass amp. Fantastic, almost mint, condition. Works perfectly. It’s a sort of 2 channel amp (clean & overdrive) with a Blend function to mix the 2 together. Goes from pure clean to crazy bonkers fuzz overdrive at the turn of a knob. If you need a bit of grind in your tone, this is the lad to do it, without needing another pedal. All the official blurb from Orange here https://orangeamps.com/products/bass-guitar-amps/ob1-series/ob1-300/ Comes with a basic (non-Orange) footswitch for swapping between Clean and Blend Now Sold
