    I've not had this long, maybe a few months, but I need to get back to reality and pay the bills.... I had this specifically put together for myself by Barry and the team at the Bass Centre, London. It's a stunning Power Bass, in black, with a rosewood neck, black 3 ply plate, and all gold hardware including bridge, bridge cover, screed, tuners and knobs. It's also had a pair of EMG geezers fitted which are phenomenal and a big step up from the standard power bass pick ups. When fitting the EMGs I bought new knobs as the emg stems are thicker. I will also include the original pick ups and gold knobs. It's a really light, quality bass with stunning looks. Plays like a dream. Fitted with Elite roundwounds. Pick up Leyland Lancashire. Will post at £30.

    Financial needs must I'm afraid ...... otherwise, theres no way at all I'd be selling this... It's a John Entwistle Frankenstein bass by the Bass Centre. It's so called salmon pink, but in reality it's a lovely pastel orange colour, modern profile bass logo on the neck and feels superb. It balances beautifully, and feels so good when playing, really well built and a real quality instrument. Now, the pick ups in this particular one really do imitate the john entwistle and the who growl !!! Very responsive and quick, but the entwistle sound is right there. On the official website they are covered pick ups, but these are open, so they must have been an additional extra. Having owned a standard power bass these are much much better pickups than what come as standard. It's in pretty much immaculate condition. Does not come with the case. Pick up Leyland, Lancashire.

    Trace Elliot V6 ALL VALVE 400W bass amp. The holy grail of bass amps!! Extremely rare!! Very, very few of these made. This dates from around 2000. Packed with all valve goodness and 6 valve output tubes / valves. It has a great gain control which helps keep the tone Valvey but clean right up to high levels. A 4 tone eq stack. Flat is 2-10-2. Post and pre DI and hi and low switches for endless tone shaping! The beauty of this amp is it is around 25kg, so it's a lot lot lighter than an Ampeg or similar valve amp. If owned SVT, ashdown ctm300, laney nexus tube - all the big valve amps, and this is hands down the best. In good condition seeing its 20 years old and sounds amazing!! Also, a current, and certainly future collectors item!! Comes with custom made hard flight case. Reluctant sale. I've had this a few weeks. I've not been able to work since the start of the pandemic, still cant sure to restrictions and now of all things I need ceiling repairs..... so I'm having a big clear out: x2 valve amps, 2 basses. What doesnt sell first, stays. Pick up Leyland, Lancashire.

    £350. Crazy crazy price for all this....

    Amazing that nearly all other companies have massively increased their prices (hotels, pubs, bars) yet some still expect bands to play for free. If anything bands prices should have gone well up in line with everyone elses increases.

    I played my V6 through my super12 last week. Great hefty sound. Makes you wanna turn up.

    Theres a 20min vid of a laney rep demoing them now on youtube. Doesnt show much of that clean Valvey sound by the looks of it though.

    Sorry, yes I meant A/B - couldnt think of the phrase - im getting old

    The videos I've seen so far, tend to be saying these are not class d but proper old fashioned solid state transistor amps. It's not clear yet. I heard GK are ready to launch a small compact, but full solid state, versions of their old classics. So maybe this is the new trend?
  14. la bam
    Is the 500 head a solid state head, not a class D?
  15. la bam
    Gees, they're decent prices too!

    I like Laney - something understated about them. The rigs look cool as! I used to have the Nexus tube (had to sell due to lockdown) and the N410 cab. They also made really lightweight 810s in the past (around 30-40kg). Any ideas on price at the moment?

    As others have mentioned: Quilter BB800 - set it at noon. Job done. Any adjustment needed? A little turn. Done. Lift it with one finger. More power than any other small amp I've ever come across. I still have it as one of my favourite all rounds amps ever. Heavier duty - Hartke LH1000 - Nice, simple and power for days. Just remember noon isnt flat. It's something like 2-10-2.

    £395 ? All those tube goodness preamp tubes and all those massive 6650s for £395. Scratch that valve itch... go on....!

    Looks cool!

    feeling?

    I'd be climbing the walls with frustration. I hate waiting as it is, but when it's so far out of my control I couldnt wait any longer. Just on a cautious side, regarding getting money back etc, I'd do some research first, as it sounds like a custom or customised build. So the seller can argue they cant resell, and it was made especially for you, and you could end up in a real mess.

    The payments go from you, not direct to seller anymore, but direct to ebay, then ebay send them on to the seller. I had an issue this week. Ebay confirmed that they are now the intermediary and my card company said the payment was to 'Ebay' not the seller.

    I dont really want to go any lower, so how about £450. SVT tone, power and 3D ness for £450.

    Red and orange rig is Uber Cool !

    Also, can anyone recommend a matching cab for this? I used my barefaced super 12 (2x12) and it was great, but I'm not sure if this wants/needs/is designed for use with a multiple 10 sealed cab?

    So lucky to find this this week! Picked it up and straight down the practice room!! In absolutely lovely condition, recently revalved and comes in custom case too. Sound wise I didnt really know what to expect. It has lots of eq - bass, lo mid, hi mid (pull switch), treble, deep,, and high. It's quite scooped with everything at noon, but roll the bass back and put the treble up and it's a gorgeous sound. It took me a good few hours to find the tone I was after (as usual not much tweaking needed from flat it turns out) and it just began sitting really nice in the mix to the backing tracks. It isnt a SVT. In fact it sounds absolutely nothing like an SVT, for those of you who were wondering. It's more like a solid state amp with a bit of that 3D sound and warmth to it, but much nicer. It quite similar to my big gk 550. After a few hours I whacked the backing track right up and really dug in. THATS when it comes to life. Gorgeous tone there. And the big bonus - it's only 20 something kilos, so much much easier to move than an svt or any of my previous valve amps. Even in it's hard case it's a decent lift. Very happy purchase!
