    For sale only -- no trades, thanks! Price is [b]£150[/b] This is the Gallien Krueger 210MBE-II extension cabinet. 2 x 10" 8 ohms 400 watts 15 kgs Speakon and jack inputs Bought new in Aug 2013. Functionally perfect. Cosmetically ok. Photos of the cab: [url="http://i.imgur.com/No3hOlk.jpg"]http://i.imgur.com/No3hOlk.jpg[/url] [url="http://i.imgur.com/QhhA7Eg.jpg"]http://i.imgur.com/QhhA7Eg.jpg[/url] Couple of small scratches: [url="http://i.imgur.com/W3ZqOHt.jpg"]http://i.imgur.com/W3ZqOHt.jpg[/url] There are three holes in each of the four top corners where I previously added interlocking corners for an older Gallien Kruger combo: [url="http://i.imgur.com/OUHEZUs.jpg"]http://i.imgur.com/OUHEZUs.jpg[/url] Would prefer not to ship this. Collection from Wimbledon, or perhaps I can deliver in London/Surrey -- send PM and we can discuss options.

    [quote name='xzodar' timestamp='1394182624' post='2388716'] Interested to hear from any BB owners who have fitted flats though. [/quote] I'm very happy with my BB425X with D'Addario Chromes, regular light gauge (45-132). I'm playing perhaps 80% motown/soul/disco and 20% pop/rock/other, and it works really well. I have a different nut to your 1024, but FWIW I didn't have to modify mine. I strung through the body without any problems - although I realize now there is no need. If I did it again today I'd go through the bridge.

    I've had the same K&K Bass Max for about 10 years, and you do not necessarily need a pre-amp. I've used it with different basses and different amps and never had a problem. I had the matching K&K pre-amp for a while but realised it didn't make a difference, so I sold it. It will be fine if your amp has an input impedance of 1 M-ohm -- check your manual. I previously had a Strunal 5/35 (i.e. a "Thomann 2") which I was happy with, although it is a five-string bass and as it turned out I subsequently wanted to return to four strings. So another bass model to consider is a Christopher -- I currently play a Christopher 304 Busetto (again from Thomann) which was £1,400, but there is the 103 model at £875 which is within your budget. One thing which is cool is that it comes with an adjustable bridge, which is useful to experiment with what action works best for you. I am using my bass pretty much as it came "out of the box" from Thomann. It did not need setting up or taking to a luthier. I use the stock bridge, tailpiece, endpin, and E/A steel strings. The only change is that I switched to Golden Slaps for the D/G strings -- as a personal preference, rather than there being anything wrong with the stock ones. As an aside, I really recommend the Golden Slaps! Easy to play and sound great (I'm playing jazz, swing, folk). I moved over after many years of using Spirocores. Here's a clip wth a swing band: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coj9JczuV-o"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coj9JczuV-o[/url] Christopher > Bass Max > Streamliner > Barefaced Compact. Recorded with a Zoom Q2HD.

    [quote name='xzodar' timestamp='1386962023' post='2306977'] Reluctantly I'm selling the last of my jazz necked bases. I have to face the fact that I'm just more comfortable on a slightly wider neck. [/quote] Perhaps you already considered this, but just putting it out there. If you love everything else about your bass, how about swapping the neck? I recently had the opposite problem: I have a Matt Freeman P but realised I prefer a slimmer neck; problem solved by installing a Jazz neck. It was an easy, straight swap.

    This has now been sold.

    The bridge was done by Hugh at the Old Violin Workshop in Hampton Hill. At the moment I'm looking just for a straight sale, not trades (thanks - I'll edit the initial post to clarify that).

    Bump, with some more photos: And the Thomann link: http://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_kontrabass_25string.htm
  8. jrixn1
    The bass is still available, but I'm afraid it is collection only.
  9. jrixn1
    Afraid I won't be anywhere near Southend-on-Sea -- but I will be in SE London. PM'ed.
  10. jrixn1
    Reducing price to £780.
  11. jrixn1
    Reduced to £30!! Need to get rid of this... It is living in my hallway and it's in my way all the time!

    [b]Price reduced to £780[/b] [b](Sale only, no trades.[/b]) The bass is in very good condition. I bought it new from Thomann two years ago. It is a hybrid 3/4-size "Strunal 5/35" (rebranded by Thomann as a "Thomann 2/5") with a carved spruce top and ebony fingerboard. A new bridge was professionally cut and fitted last month. The action is medium. Currently strung with Thomastik Spirocores, with a low "B". I will also throw in a Spirocore high "C", and Innovation Honey high "C" and "G" strings. Doesn't come with a bag/case, sorry. Collection from Wimbledon. Alternatively, I gig regularly across the south-east, so perhaps could deliver or meet half-way.

    [i](Edit: price reduced from to £150 posted)[/i] I bought this bass "nearly new" in 2011 and it is in very good condition. It is an active bass with two pick-ups. Controls are: master volume, blend, treble, and bass. It is 35" scale, with a 44mm nut, 16.5mm string spacing at the bridge, and weighs 4.2kg. It is currently strung BEADG with new Yamaha roundwounds. It is set up with a medium action and good intonation across the whole range. Small scratch on bridge, and some buckle rash on the back (see photos). No bag/case, sorry. Collection from Wimbledon, or postage included in asking price.

    Oops, I posted in the wrong section. How do I move to amps & cabs..?

    This is a 1x15 Gallien Krueger cab, model 115BLX III. It is rated 200W, 8ohm. Weight is 27kg. It has one jack socket. Cosmetically ok (see photo) and functionally perfect. This is a deep-sounding cab which I have been very happy gigging with as an extension to a MB210 combo. Now replaced with a newer cab so surplus to requirements. Collection from Wimbledon. Alternatively, I gig regularly across the south-east, so perhaps could deliver or meet half-way.
  16. jrixn1
    The bridge is still available for sale.
  17. jrixn1
    EADG now sold - B-string still available. Reduced to £20.
  18. jrixn1
    Ok, I can send this. Tracked/insured postage included in the price.
  19. jrixn1
    I don't currently have a suitable box in which to send it; I will try to obtain one.

    Ok, I didn't realise that they did a 30-day return period; however it has already expired. I bought a double bass in July which came with a normal fixed bridge. Now I've always liked the idea of an adjustable bridge, so I bought this Gewa one at the same time. I asked Thomann if they could fit the adjustable bridge for me, but it was not a service they offered. Since I am not a woodworker by any means, my plan was to take the bass and the adjustable bridge to a local luthier and have it professionally installed. However, I also decided that I had nothing to lose by having a go at filing down the existing fixed bridge myself. I (somehow) ended up doing an ok job. In fact, the action is now pretty sweet, just how I want it. I then thought it best to wait till I'd gigged the bass a few times to make sure I really was happy - and now I have decided that I am. Hence the adjustable bridge remained untouched, and is now for sale here!

    Zoot were the cabs made by bass maker Mike Walsh before he launched 'Purple Chili'. I have owned this cab from new (bought in 2008, I think). It sounds good and it is very light. It is a 300W 1x12 cab which weighs only 11.6 kg. You can read about it here: [url="http://www.lean-business.co.uk/eshop/zoot-zb112nt-1x12-300w-light-weight-neo-bass-guitar-cab-p-376.html?zenid=34bf548ef23de12dd99b1c2dffca3b03"]http://www.lean-busi...99b1c2dffca3b03[/url] I have always been happy with this cab; reason for sale is that I have decided to switch back to using a combo. Price: £150. I can deliver within 50 miles of London SW19 (evenings/weekends as mutually convenient). Happy to provide more info or answer any questions.

    I have owned this amp from new (bought in 2003/2004). It has always been flight-cased (case included in sale). The amp's dimensions are: 3.5" x 17" x 8.25" - it takes up two racks spaces. The amp's weight is 15 lbs (6.8 kg). It outputs 150W @ 8 ohms or 240W @ 4 ohms. I have run the amp with a variety of cabs, from a single 1x12 to a pair of 4x10s, and have always been happy with its performance - never had any problems. Reason for sale is that I have decided to switch back to using a combo. The '-10 dB pad' function operates correctly, but the button is missing. Price: £200. I can deliver within 50 miles of London SW19 (evenings/weekends as mutually convenient). Happy to provide more info or answer any questions.

    I bought this second-hand, about 18 months ago. I have been very happy with it, but have switched to a five-string recently and can't justify keeping both :-( You can switch between active and passive by pulling up the volume pot; also 2 x EQ, 1 x blend, and a mid-cut ('slap') switch. There is a tiny ding (photo below), and also the headstock was knocked slightly (photo below). Price: £200, including a soft case. I can deliver within 50 miles of London SW19 (evenings/weekends as mutually convenient). Happy to provide more info or answer any questions.

    This bridge is unused. I bought it from Thomann but then changed my mind about installing it. It is this one: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/gewa_bass_steg_34.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...ass_steg_34.htm[/url] Price: £60, including tracked/insured postage.

    I recently bought a new five-string double bass which came strung with Spirocore Mittels, BEADG. The first thing I did was restring it (with detuned Solos, EADG, and a Mittel high C). I am happy with that setup, so the original Mittels are for sale, barely used. Just the B-string: £25. Set of four, EADG: £75. Set of five, BEADG: £90. Prices include tracked/insured postage.
