  1. Just thinking out loud, but those disappointed with class d - what cabs are they using? 1x10s, 1x12s? Sometimes for thaat heft you need more than one cab/speaker to get the sound youre after.
  2. My 500w markbass evo gives out around 300 class d watts when used with my 8ohm Barefaced Super Compact. It sounds loud when up and running. It copes with a full band fairly easy, but starts to run out of headroom when really full on. However, put it through my markbass 6x10 at 6ohm - and itll rock the walls and rattle the tables!! Its not neccessarily class d watts - more what you power with them. Id always took what id heard about more speakers meaning much more volume with a pinch of salt - but its SO true. Itd be interesting to try an ELF with a 4x10, 6x10 or 8x10. PS i saw something interesting on youtube today regarding the elf - someone said there was a warning sticker on it saying not to touch the jack lead at all when in operation - is this true?
  3. Ashdown After Eight packs a punch for around £30 second hand. Nice and compact but with a real bassy sound.
  4. i tested this out at practice tonight. flippin eck - loud! such a powerful rich sound though. best sound ive ever had. smiling all night! - cant wait for sundays gig.
  5. ive just bought a 6x10 sealed cab. its an amazing sound. really rich and full with no excess on the low end or high end - just smooth power. best cab ive ever used by a mile. having heard it i cant think why some cabs are ported (like every other one ive used).
  6. Going to give it a run this weekend. Its so portable its crazy for an old school 6x10. It wheels around like a small box and can be lifted upstairs no problem.
  7. Now sold.
  8. Fantastic condition Yamaha BB424 in black. Ok. This is probably a slightly different sale to normal, but hopefully its in the basschat spirit and helps someone out. I bought this bass hardly used a few months ago. It was an absolute bargain at £100. It cost me £50 in fuel to pick up. Since then i have put a new set of daddrio strings on, had it professionally set up so it plays fantastic. I had the string retainer slightly repositioned after it sprung out. It now works great. So, being well over £250 into it, id like to sell it im the spirit i bought it, and let it go for £150 (what it cost me to buy and pick up) I could get much more, maybe even double, but i dont think thats right. The condition of sale is that if you ever sell it on then please sell in the same spirit and help someone else own a great instrument for an affordable price. This is a great chance to own a great imstrument for next to no money. It did its job for me. And i love it. Sounds amazing. But at the moment i just play p basses so i want this to go to a good home. Please do not buy this to flip it for an instant profit. Thats not what this sale is about. Pick up Leyland, Lancashire.
  9. Finally found the power ive always been after ..... Markbass 610 classic. Markbass Evo head. Never had a 610 before. Gees. Talk about power.
  10. Where i accept that certain venues may have awkward spots for sound etc - i think in that case then they shouldnt sell tickets for that area. Especially if their excuse is theres nothing they can do do get it to sound good. I mean, flippin eck, we are all gutted if its a slightly poor sound for a song whilst we are playing in a pub consisting of about 30 people all getting in for free! Its time these touring shows got their acts together if theyre to continue charging so much. Can you imagine poor sound being accepted in the likes of stage shows or opera?! Not a chance.
  11. Just picked one of these up. Sounded great. Gonna give it a run over tbe weekend then prob gig it next weekend. The portability and weight is crazy for a 6x10 !
  12. Thanks. The bass is now on hold. Pending pick up from buyer.
  13. Having read a few ambiguous t&cs regarding posting guitars im going to keep this as pick up only (or i can meet upto 25 miles from Preston) for the time being until im confident of a courier company and cover just to be safe.
  14. I know, I know I hate to sell it.
  15. Im sure i could box up in an old guitar box etc if required.
  16. I could ship it, but would have to include insurance in with that via courier. Not sure what it would be? Prob £30?
  17. I have x2 of these available. Brilliant bits of kit if you ever forget (or cant be bothered to take) your bass stand. Simply attaches to any handle and keeps your bass in place. £10 delivered for eack one.
  18. Hi all, Selling a 4U rack case in good condition. Excellent lightweight case. For clarity i had marked my phone number on the case which i will try to remove. If not it is easily covereable with a small piece of tape. £35 delivered.
  19. Cheers Lozz, i think these cabs have an adjustable tweeter for the high end.
  20. Up for sale is my favourite bass of all time. Best looking, best playing and best sounding. Absolutely love it. Its in excellent condition and has had the jack socket professionally upgraded. Lovely thin smooth neck and nice and light. The p/j configuration gives you any sound you like from flat 60s sounds, 70s funk and modern hifi and bright slap sounds. Only reason for sale is im now in a tribute band which i have to use precisions instead so i no longer play this and i have no room to store. These are now discontinued, rare and i think a future collectors bass. Pick up Leyland Lancashire.
  21. Yes, but the price is just way too high for another super compact im afraid.
  22. Hi all, Just wondered if anyaone has ever used or regularly uses a 610? Im currently using a super compact, so just wondered what differences there would be? Would it be massively louder? Tighter? Bigger sound etc? We put everything through the pa but are starting to do bigger gigs etc and a bit more would be nice. In particular im looking at a markbass sealed 610 classic. Any help appreciated.
  23. It seems theres a few issues on the internet regarding these amps and running pre amps with them. Its as if whatever signal you give it, it just deliberately cuts it right back.
  24. Ive had it at both - 1.4v and 0.7v - neither made any difference. The preamp even had a +60db gain plus a +10db output and it didnt even register. (apart from the signal switch). Dont get me wrong, it seemed loud in the house and the quality was great, but ive done 2 smallish gigs with it and ive been maxing the volume and ot was just about ok. Which obviously isnt good enough.
