Yes - I bought it.

David 

Would you recommend one?

Hmmm so maybe a B1-Four? I've already been told that a jack output is not necessarily any worse than an XLR so that might be worth a try to dip my toe in the pre-amp/effect pedal world.

Bit of a sidewards one, any recommendations for reasonably priced pre-amp pedals? MXR or Ampeg perhaps?

Thanks for the comments so far, I guess I'm leaning towards the Zoom at this point...

If I got the Zoom B3 or B3n then I'd probably use it mainly as a preamp pedal with some compression.

Would be interested to hear from others who have used the Zoom mainly as a preamp...

Is this sold?

Thanks, I often wondered if a jack output from the pedal was inferior to an XLR...

I'm thinking about ditching my backline and going to a floor based DI/Preamp/Effects unit with in-ear monitoring instead.

I'm not a huge fan of effects but can see the benefit on some songs so I've shortlisted the TC Spectradrive Bass Preamp peadal and the Zoom B3(due to the XLR output).

I've no reservations about the TC pedal as I've used their amps before and they produce quality gear but I'm not so sure about the Zoom as I've owned a B2 pedal before and, while it sounded good through a set of headphones, it always sounded really muddy through my backline.

Has anyone got any live experience with either of the two units that they could share?

Cheers

Dave

Blimey these things are like buses!

Just thinking the exact same thing...

Is this sold?

No problem Geoff.

If I decide to sell mine and this is still available I'll be back in touch, however, I think this won't hang around for very long.

GLWTS

I bought your Trace Elliot SMX head off you Geoff(which is still my main amp by the way) but I feel that I need this too...

Don't suppose you'd be interested in some kind of trade deal for an Ashdown Retroglide 800 head would you?

I would have been so tempted by this had it been within collecting distance, however we are about 263 miles apart(I checked on google maps). 🙄

GLWTS.

That really is in mint condition!

This looks lovely!

My main bass is a 4 string SR1200 so I know how well these basses feel and sound.

I recently bought a 50's Precision and, while it's a stunner, I'm starting to wish I'd seen this earlier as it's so pretty. 😭

GLWTS

Aw, I've been looking for one of these for ages. Just spent up on a precision recently or would have been very interested. 

I can't imagine it being up for sale very long.

If you have no success on here you could always try advertising them on a bodybuilding website! 😉

Seriously though, GLWTS, this rig must sound like thunder with that cab! 

BARGAIN..nothing more to say...well maybe just to re-confirm that these amps are loud!

The output level on this photo says it all really, you never really have to push these amps higher than 3......

The bulb will not tempt me damn it!!!

It's tempting me and I've already got one...

Perhaps a photo showing the backlit front panel in the dark might enlighten our younger members who might not appreciate what this beauty could look like sat behind them at a gig...😉

Good lord, that's a monster bass amp for not a lot of money!

Backlit front panel....

Thru-neck/monorail bridge/string-through body.

Surely this is an absolute bargain at £150 for someone out there!

Thanks Dave and a good 300W

Yes, like the Trace Elliot head that I bought off you a while back, TWICE as loud as the TC BH800 I had at the time! Used it at a gig last night after it was relegated to backup for weight reasons but it's my number one again. The old school watts are the best...
