I finally got to try my Koch (guitar) poweramp rated 90w through my two MAS26 cabs at a rehearsal & couldn’t crank it too much coz it was too loud lol !

Earthquaker Devices - Plumes

kinda tube screamer pedal, excellent condition with box £80 posted

The original Diamond BCP-1 

probably needs no introduction lol .. comes with an eu (2 prong) 20v centre positive psu but will include reverse polarity (red) cable. This pedal takes from 9 up to 24v centre positive power

Johnk Mini XO - crossover distortion pedal .. see Luke’s original post below (hope you don’t mind Luke) .. really nice pedal but not quite what I was looking for …

What trades would you be interested in bud?

Ideally a limiter like Boss LMB3 but would consider other analog pedals, have chorus flanger phaser kinda covered but still open to trades ….

Traded - Demonfx Microtubes X pedal in nice condition (& box)

£50 posted .. open to trades

Demonfx Microtubes X .. jury is out .. 

@sifi2112 Vigier Excess 4

Mas26 (x2) sfx D3 preamp Koch ATR4502 poweramp 

Thanks guys .. I’ve two MAS26 cabs so I’m thinking of having a custom flightcase built to house both, if I start gigging again which is a possibility

Hi all,

Are there any (sound) issues stacking a cab on an empty flightcase ? I want to bring the cab closer to ear level but have heard there might be issues putting bass cabs on empty (hollow) boxes ?

I don’t have the case but also don’t want to have one made if stacking on top actually detracts from the sound lol

Any advice/experience welcome .. guru Bill probably a knows 😀

I have a Koch ATR 4502 which puts out 90w bridged.

Freq responds 40-20k Hz .. intention was to use for gigging ( 4 string standard tuning & sfx sound Thumpinator preamp) but never got the chance .. use it at home for guitar & bass with respective speakers .. it’s loud & very well made, think with enough efficient speakers it would be fine …

I made this from a J&D jazz using ETS bridge, ABM string locks & Bareknuckle pups !

It’s definitely not a looker but sounds & plays well …

Might be persuaded to part if interested 

I did the same for a project & it sounded really good, I got a spare nut for my Vigier which can be interchanged as it’s just for holding strings in place (has zero fret). I didn’t want to go back to 5 string, though I did find it cheaper getting (Warwick) 5 string set rather than dedicated 4 string set 130-060 as there aren’t many available.

So like you said just keep playing & get used to it.

I’d do it again if I was in a heavy rock or metal band

Price drop £300 or can break & sell as spares …

Pm’d

I’m selling a headless that has ETS bridge .. if I get no interest I may ‘break’ & sell parts separately

SOLD - Darkglass B7K Anniversary preamp pedal in great condition without box but free Velcro lol … posted 

Great clean preamp with two balanced / unbalanced outputs

one XLR and one trs or ts / ground lift / phase reverse / newer version of Thumpinator with on/off switch / parallel input (which I used for tuner)

9v 200mA centre negative with 9v parallel out.

The D3 does boost the voltage. Internally, it operates to around 35V (rail-to-rail).

3 impedance selector switch & mute switch.

Top sticker came off so re-glued but not a great finish.

Size 108 x 44 x 168 mm

Withdrawn - KOCH ATR-4502 2x45w / 90w bridged @ 8 Ohm .. great quality amps these made by valve amp specialist Koch in Holland.

It’s loud !

Weighs 5.5kg in a 1U rack format.

ATR stands for Authentic Tube Response, each channel has a preamp tube. 
Frequency response is from 40Hz to 20k I believe, I know this is a guitar amp but I used it for bass, no problem.

Jack out speaker connectors that also doesn’t need to change for bridged mode.

2 speed thermo controlled fans.

Koch told me they are discontinuing these.

Only selling as I’m kinda retired from gigging … more pics to follow

Withdrawn - Here’s a decent  34” headless 4 string I made from a J & D 75 jazz as a donor neck & body, got frets levelled before modding. One little dent on neck & plenty of rough parts on body etc but was always meant as a ‘distressed’ type lol

Not a lightweight but definitely no neck dive !

Schaller strap lock buttons. Cut down hex key for truss rod.

ABM (German) bell brass string retainers. They do move a little if you over tighten but I’ve not had any issues with them.

ETS (German) bridge / tail piece.

Bareknuckle 60 PE jazz pickups.

Hardware & pups would probably cost round 400 lol

Looking good Andy  .. interested in hearing how the Ashdown compares to the GED ! I’ll patiently await your video lol

I was disappointed with the GED2112 .. too fuzzy for my liking, guess I was expecting a Darkglass X7 esque gritty sound but alas it didn’t deliver for me. Yes two separate outputs for either two poweramps or left / right single poweramp with maybe hi / lo cabs. I think there’s an internal dip switch to run them in parallel though.
 

Pity I couldn’t get it to work for me coz I already own two great poweramps .. the Ashdown looks interesting …

Cheers Rick .. time to face the music lol .. you never know tho but stuff I wanna play is not what most people want. I’ll stick to a bit of home recording for now. Probably gonna list my fab Warmoth jazz too  .. too nice just to hang on my wall !

I'd like to put money on them being Bass Direct pics.    

Correct .. I had it up fs on commission at Bass Direct a couple of years ago but decided to keep it, alas I think my gigging days are now over
