    ACG Graft 5 Recurve SOLD

    in Left-Handed Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by Dread Bass

    Hi Guys

    I am not 100% about this yet but I am considering selling my Graft Recurve. My band needs have changed and i can't really justify having 2 fretted 5 strings. Its in excellent condition with just one ding which is on the headstock. (I will add a photo)

    Specs are

    Swamp Ash top
    Alder body
    3 piece maple neck asymmetrical profile
    Rosewood fingerboard no radius
    East 2 band EQ
    ACG pickup
    Hipshot bridge
    Gotoh tuners

    Its a great bass and is very punchy. The money from this sale will be most likely going straight into another ACG.

    Would also consider trades for 6 string fretless basses. Could potentially out some money towards.

    Happy to meet within 100 miles of Nottingham.

    Warwick Quad VI 600 watts £225

    in Amps and Cabs For Sale

    Posted · Edited by Dread Bass

    For sale Warwick Quad VI. I have been using it for years and it is a great sounding and reliable amp. Its very very loud and rated at 600 Watts.

    Its in good condition except it is missing the original volume knob. I have replaced it with another one and it functions fine. Also a little bit of rack rash on the top.

    2u rack included.

    Heres a couple of crappy pics

    Stole this description from online:

    [color=#666666][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]From the days when bass amps had power, punch and a sound that hits you in the chest! This classic amp hand crafted in Germany was a favorite amongst bass players. Its hybrid combination of tube preamp delivers warmth and Mosfet power amp delivers punch & power. [/size][/font][/color]
    [color=#666666][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]A powerful 600 watts of power gets the job done. The 12AX7 Preamp tubes provides warmth. The Amp also features an EL84 tube before the mosfet power amp to give full tube amp sounds. [/size][/font][/color]
    [color=#666666][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]The Quad VI features Warwick’s 4-position QUADRUMATRIX control. Each position offers a unique preamp-shaped voice with the tone controls shifting to accommodate each. Positions 1 and 2 bypass the EL84 output tube, using only the 12AX7 preamp tubes. Positions 3 and 4 unleash the full potential of the output tube and transformer. Position 2 offers the flattest response, while positions 1 and 4 have more extreme shaping. Two frequency-shift buttons change the two mid controls’ center frequencies. Powerful LOW BOOST and HIGH BOOST buttons provide additional tone-shaping options. The QUADS simple-looking controls offer a lot of flexibility.[/size][/font][/color]

    [color=#666666][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]They Said :
    The Warwick Quad VI is essentially a big tube amp minus thetransportation and reliability issues. The QUADRUMATRIX preshapes, combined with the powerful tone controls, provide numerous texture and tone possibilities. European products are rarely a bargain in the U.S. due to additional export, shipping, and distribution costs, but the Quad VI is reasonably priced for an amp that offers so much.[/size][/font][/color]

    Lefty Bass Bash

    in Events

    Posted

    Personally I think the primary goal of the Bass Bash is to meet other lefty players and try other lefty basses. Therefore i would say no house band. When else are you going to have such a diverse selection of left handed basses to choose from.

    I liked the chilled out atmosphere of last years bash but it would of been improved if we didn't need to keep turning down/ have people stare at us.

    A pub function room is ideal i think either that or a practice space.

    I'm embarrassed to admit that I've only just found this thread! :blush: :blush: On the other hand, my life priorities have changed somewhat in the last couple of years so perhaps not so surprising. All the same... :(

    Welcome back buddy

    Irrational dislike?

    Ashdown is one of mine as well. Whenever i see one i think i bet that will sound wooly. When in actual fact i have only played through a couple of their lower end heads and cabs. I think we all like to pretend we know more than we actually do.

    How was your gig last night?

    Gig at the Maze in Notts with Meta-stasis. Full of issues. Turned up and there was no bass cabs. It was agreed they would be provided. Back to studio to get mine.

    Speaker cable broke after the first track so only had my 1x15 which dosnt work so well for all the slap I do :D

    Headline bands can exploded and they nearly didn't play. Sorted it in the end though.
