I think I still have the box for the head so could possibly post the head. 

Will split. 

Head £300

Cab £400

Rig £600.

May split if required. 

Hi all, 

Has anyone tried the boss katana 210?

How does it feel and fit live in a band at rehearsal etc? 

My 2 basses now for gigging in 3 tribute bands and one wedding band.... 

A Harley Benton MM84a

and... 

Another Harley Benton Mm84a. 

I love them basses. 

As for snobbiness..... "why do you play that Harley Benton?" 

"because it'll only cost £80 to replace when I accidentally drop it on your custom shop Fender tele..." 

LANEY Digbeth 500h and 4x10 vertical Dbv410 cab. 

The best, coolest looking rig out there in my opinion. 

Its a vertical 4x10 (which loads of people have asked for over the years). This not only makes it look like a proper rig, but get the sound up higher and it's very easy to here. Also ask the tech guys out there, a vertical 4x10 is much better when you get into the science of things. 

It has side handles for ease of lifting, a top tilt handle for wheeling and 2 very strong wheels which makes moving a genuine doddle. It's a one hand move with the wheels. 

It also has a kick plate (nice touch) and a switchable horn from on, half and off. 

Its also a 4 ohm cab. So full power. 

The 500h head is fantastic. 500w with 3 switchable channels from one input (solid state, valve emulation and a mix of both), a valve drive which is So realistic it even reacts like a valve amp with how much you dig in. 3 band eq with a switchable 4 band mid selector. It also has the fantastic tilt dial which with a swift turn superbly matches your room and eliminates any boom or too much high, but it keeps your eq balance. 

There's also an aux in for playing along to your favourite tracks!

And a headphone socket. 

The head can be lifted with one finger, the cab wheeled with one hand and it sounds like an old school 8x10 and valve rig. 

So why am I selling? The good old van has blown its head gasket and now needs a new engine. But, once it gets fixed I realised I can buy another Digbeth rig and everything's back to normal. 

Its been used a few times and there are some very small scratches, signs of use that you'd only see up close, but it's in excellent condition. 

Pick up Leyland Lancashire. 

What's everyone's opinions on the late 70s Bb1000? 

That's the precision type (not the bb1000s). 

Let us know how it goes! Enjoy. 

Taken from FB. 

People need to be snapping these up. That's such a good amp for not much more than a Di pedal. 

Seen on various Facebook feeds. 

Quilter V803. Looks class. Has 3 voicing, good eq and by all accounts, finally an xlr out..

Cant wait to hear it. 

I think that's a Chinese made one as well, not a US one

The new RM looks great! Always though the previous ones looked fugly. 

 

Cab sim is a great addition. The previous RMs had a headphone jack? Hopefully this is the same and would make for a great head for home and gigging...

.. and recording and as a Di if it has cab sim too. 

They look real nice. 

Whoa! There's a cheeky cab sim built in too on the right hand side! 

Mines definitely not hissy. Do you have a cab with a horn / tweeter etc?

Anybody else noticed a hiss when playing? I haven´t noticed it before, but it is quite apparent when close to the amp (200-210). I´ve read these apparantly have a noisegate. All great when it´s silent when not playing, but is it normal to have an hiss when playing? It´s sensitive to frequency; once the Tilt knob is favored to the treble side, it becomes more apparent.

It is a noise gate. But 100% you won't hear a thing when playing live. It kicks in temporarily when you're not playing but does get any louder the louder you turn up.

Wow. Thanks for the heads up. A bit too far away for me, unfortunately, but interesting nonetheless.

Having a look around I think it's a mini turnaround the country. 

Hi all, 

I know a lot on here love this guy. 

Just seen he's playing at Band on the Wall this Friday with an Irish band The Ollam. Tickets cheap at £23.

Its a great venue if you've never been, you're right near the stage no matter what. 

Its a good opportunity to see a revered bassist up close for little money. 

They've a few artist videos on YouTube using these. Dougie from McFly too. His video is actually quite good. 

Can't get better than that! 

Great service.

Well, good news then, if you want to buy one and the values are on the rise.

not really, I don't have anywhere near a grand like you, I thought they were supposed to be cheapish at the moment.

Cheap to buy, cheap to sell, unless they gain some sort of mythical status in future (have you seen the prices of Gibson Grabbers, Rippers and G-3s now?  Couldn't give them away in the 90s/00s)

We'll, I think that's happened already.... They not cheap. Looking a grand at the moment for a US HH one.
