    I could do £720 for an in-person sale without the foam hard case. I'm travelling from Bristol to Southampton and London, Mon 25th–Thu 28th Dec.

    Since you were happy with the combo until it broke, the obvious suggestion is the MB 500 which is basically what is inside the MB210 combo. It's discontinued but I saw there is one on eBay (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225730329067). If the combo amp is indeed dead, one option to consider is having your tech wire up the speaker to a socket i.e. to use the combo as a passive cabinet. You can use the MB 500 head with either one or two cabs.

    Perhaps this is a good time to evaluate if you want to commit to a rig built around the 210 MBE. Actually I had the same rig at one point - MB 210 combo with the 210 MBE extension - but I moved on to a Barefaced Compact (the original 15" one) which was half the size and weight, yet louder.

    I previously had a Genz Benz Shuttle and a Big Baby 2 - flat-response, sounded good, and loud. Advantages of an active speaker? Bi-amped, power amps matched to speakers, DSP (including speaker protection), less expensive, tiltable, availability (you could buy a new one today). The Barefaced's advantage is that it is lightweight.

    Recently had an in-person transaction with @Vin Venal Had a nice albeit short chat - sorry I had to dash off so quickly. Deal with confidence! 👍

    A Big Baby 2/3 can go very loud. You wrote in another thread that you are "playing with a trad jazz band (+1 drummer, Sax, trombone etc)". A BB3 rig is likely massive overkill for that lineup. If you're going with Barefaced perhaps their smaller Super Mini T would be better. Having said that, if I was called for that gig I'd take my QSC CP12 (a small 12" active PA speaker).

    You were running a combo with a second cab until the combo broke. Presumably the combo alone was not enough, otherwise you wouldn't have been using the second cab with it. So I don't see how using just the cab on its own will be sufficient.

    Here's its old Bass Bros listing which confirms gloss neck finish: https://bassbros.co.uk/sold-basses/2006-fender-pb-62-precision-bass-reissue-mij/

    Very beautiful 2006-2008 Japanese PB-62 Fender Precision bass, a reissue of a 1962 P bass. 'Crafted in Japan' and an 'S' serial number date this to 2006-2008 (https://support.fender.com/en-us/knowledgebase/article/KA-01874). Truss rod, saddles, and tuners all working correctly. Weight: kitchen scales say 3978g (8lb 12oz). Nut: 1.675" (42.5mm) String spacing: 19mm £680 collected from Bristol, or £740 posted insured within the UK in a new hard case. I'm trying to reduce gear, so looking for a cash sale, no trades. Any questions or clarifications, please reply on the thread or send me a direct message.

    Tuners from a Squier Classic Vibe bass, in good condition with ferrules and screws. £18 posted.

    Update: I've removed the old nut and a brand new one has now been installed - all is good.
  15. jrixn1
    Exploring this line of thought, have you considered an active PA speaker, which are as flat-response as can be? If you sell the C4 (which for comparison is 13.1kg) I think your budget will be ~£600. There are many makes and models of active speakers, but here are some starting points: Yamaha DBR10 (350W, 10.5kg, £384) RCF HD 10-A (400W, 11.8kg, £479) QSC CP12 (500W, 13.7kg, £609)

    It's: E D C# B A G F# F. I think the easiest place to pitch the notes is when Brian Setzer come in singing, as his vocal line duplicates the bass line. You had it right, but in the wrong key.

    Jim Deacon short scale (30") P bass. Update 5th Dec: currently on hold... £140 collected from Bristol £150 delivered with next-day courier 38mm nut 17mm string spacing 3.6kg (7lb 15oz) Strings are La Bella "Deep Talkin' Bass" 760FM flats, 49-109, with maybe an hour of playing time on them (£39 new). Truss rod was adjusted and is working correctly. Couple of points to note: the pickguard has a warp towards the lower horn - cosmetic the G nut slot is cut too low - I've put some foil underneath which addresses the issue satisfactorily Update 4th Dec: brand new nut installed

    The person who books the courier is the one who must go through their claims process if there are any issues with loss or damage.
  21. jrixn1
    It would at least double your asking price. It doesn't make any sense to send this to Australia.
  22. jrixn1
    What power supply? If it has multiple outputs, use a "current doubler" cable to combine two outputs (which don't have to be the same current as each other); e.g. use the cable with a 500mA output and a 100mA output to create 600mA.

    What is "too heavy" and "don't want to spend a lot" in kg/sterling? How about https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/484191-fs-cort-gb75-jj-5-string-bass-now-just-%C2%A3250/ at £250 and 4.0kg?
