Some of the key blurb:

The Markbass TTE 801 Guitar Amplifier Head is a guitar amplifier head, that is a Randy Jackson signature model, featuring an 800W power output, a 3-band passive EQ, and modern vintage design. The TTE 801 Randy Jackson signature is the amp of choice for those who want a warm vintage tone with stadium-rocking power.

The TTE 801's vintage vibe was carefully engineered with features such as an classic-style tube preamp, a tube compressor, a simple 3-band passive EQ section, a “Colour” filter (a tube adaptation of the famous Markbass VLE control), but gets amplified by a potent 800W power amp that features an innovative Tube Technology Emulator, giving even more tubey warmth. Current technology is brought together with classic tone concepts in a head that looks and sounds vintage.

Can't quite work out where the copper goes and why.  Shirley they're too small to screen interference?

Probably right, it came to me like this and works fine so left as is as was easier to mount and swap between basses.  Think of it as a freebie.

Is the neck the original or are you saying this is a replacement neck?  

Original.

OLP Stingray Ernie Ball Music Man Bass = £175 shipped Mainland UK.

No Trades

OLP (Official Licenced Product) Stingray 4-String Bass Guitar, Ernie Ball MusicMan I believe these basses are now approx 20 years old.

Looks to have been refinished on the body and the matching headstock - looks ok but by no means a pro job.

Note the ill fitting tort pickguard. Lots of dings and dents on the body, the neck itself is reasonably clean with just a few minor scars, see photos for further information on condition.  One of the fret inlays looks to be coloured in too, see photo.

The worst of the marks on the back of the bass. Plays with a nice low action, and a pretty decent bass for the money and a great platform to mod towards a full blown Stingray if you wanted to.

Gallien Krueger Legacy 500  - £425 shipped mainland UK.

Gallien Krueger Legacy 500 - Used but still in great condition.

There are some minor scuffs as I've tried to show in the photos.

Comes with the footswitch and manual.

Here's what Gallien Krueger say about the Legacy:

The Legacy Series represents fifty years of design, innovation and industry experience at Gallien-Krueger. Bob Gallien remains at the helm of the company, still working in the lab daily, as he did in the beginning, to create the best sounding, most versatile, and reliable professional bass gear available.Because the Legacy Series shares the same designer as the 800RB, it shares the same DNA and the same level of innovation, with a more evolved feature set and construction concept.

The introduction of the 800RB in 1980 cemented Gallien-Krueger as a leader in Solid State bass amplification, with its signature growl, clarity, power, and features that were ahead of its time. The new Legacy Series of heads captures that same aesthetic while adding something all its own. From clean, clear, biting tones, to saturated overdrive, the Legacy series has it all. Coming in 500, 800, and 1200 watt class D models, The Legacy Heads are ready for the biggest stages, the smallest living rooms, and everything in between.

To improve performance and reliability, the Legacy Series uses a unique interconnection system that eliminates problems that can develop over time from constant vibration and temperature extremes that gear is subjected to with heavy use. Using circuitboards with gold plated connectors, rather than cables with standard tin connectors, this type of construction delivers a more pure, reliable sound.

Features include GK's classic 4 band EQ, Overdrive complete with tone shaping, additional voicing filters such as "Bump", "Contour", and "Presence", Balanced DI with Pre and Post EQ, an Effects Loop, Aux and Headphone connections, and Load capacity selection, to deliver optimum power into 2, 2.7, 4 and 8ohm cabinet configurations.

Very very surprised to hear that.

I thoroughly enjoy my terrible gutless amp

 

 

Glad to hear it.

Yes, so many variables.

There are Mesa amps I like (Walkabout, Pulse).

There are Class D amps I like (GK Fusion, Legacy).

Mesa Subway, I did not like, I tried 2 as I had a niggling thought the first was faulty.  Not the case, the best way I can describe in a band setting is gutless.  I have approx 30 years of gigging experience and know how to eq a bass sound and a band.

That really surprises me. The D800 and D800+ get almost universal praise both here and on Talkbass. 

Yes, the universal praise really surprises me.

The Mesa Boogie Subway D-800. 

 

I 100 per cent agree with this, and said so in the worst amp thread sometime ago.

I found the Subway D800 to be completely gutless, a terrible, terrible bass amp.

What is the weight of this bass please?

4.437 Kg on my digital kitchen scales.

Wal Mk 1  / Custom 1980  - £6500 - collected Chorley, Lancashire UK.

For Sale - due to personal circumstances:

Fairly early (1980) Custom, dated as June 1980.

Transitional period Custom bass.

Basically its a Pro neck on a standard Custom series.

Set up and plays beautifully.

Lots of wear on this bass - cracking and crazing of the finish and cracking and crazing on the headstock.

A Manchester based, well respected luthier has looked at this and is of the opinion that as the cracks arent getting any worse, it is fine to leave as it is, doesnt think they are a problem and that they add character to the bass.

Lacquer cracks are  actually fairly common place on a Wal bass of this age.

The bass is almost 42 years old, and shows signs of use commensurate with this.

I've tried to capture all this as best I can in the photos added - happy to send more photos and details as required.

£6500 - collected Chorley, Lancashire UK.

Shipping unlikely - I would much prefer a potential buyer to check out the bass in person - but I may soften on that if the bass is still around in a couple of weeks.

So to update - i managed to get the sweep/blend pot working and got a lovely beefy sound with it set slightly to the neck pup.  Alas, today its back to only working on the bridge pup side and anything anti-clockwise from the centre indent gets progressively quieter until all volume is lost when fully counterclockwise.  Defo needs investigation from someone much more competent than me.  Could either be neck pup or pot

I have a spare Mighty Mite Haz copy if you get stuck.....
