Ibanez Semi Acoustic & Fretless Jazz Bass

First up is my Ibanez Artcore Bass AGB140 With Fitted Case.

This guitar is in immaculate condition.

Any trial before bidding is fine.

It has been fitted with a New Set of Rotosound Swing Bass 66 strings 45-105 that have had approx 2 hours play.

It comes with an Ibanez fitted plush lined fitted case with gold locks.

£225 ONO

Next is my Hohner Fretless Jazz copy, I bought it off here a while back but I need to thin my collection.
The Jazz text is below of the chap who owned it before me.

There are a few small marks as seen in the photos. There is wear on the fingerboard from roundwound strings; this too can be seen in the pictures. Whilst taking pictures I also found a crack in the finish by the neck pocket which I'd never seen before. There's a very small amount of scratchiness in the pots, but only when turning them. The A string slot in the nut is slightly wider than the current string width (85) so that there was a bit of rattle (but only when playing hard rest strokes on the D string). This really was a minor issue: I solved it with a tiny bit of paper.

I don't want to overemphasise the negative aspects, I only mention them for the sake of completeness; they're fairly minor. This bass has served me well and would be ideal for someone looking to take up fretless.

It now comes with a warwick gig bag, I'm not looking to make a profit so I'm after a £100 to get my money back.

Pick up only from Whitley bay, Tyne & Wear.

I'd love to have a go but I'm buying a fretless so can't afford it at the moment.
I may give you a shout if a few weeks if you still have it.
Cheers!

[quote name='Krysbass' post='156644' date='Mar 13 2008, 12:21 PM']I use a Yamaha BBT-210S cab with my Ashdown Superfly. This cab is 4 ohms and is rated at 250watts RMS. Although it's only a 2x10 cab, it's front ported and has a good low end. I was using it last night at a rehearsal with my rock covers band and it has no problem cutting through the noise fron 2 guitarists a drummer and vocalist. If you can find one for sale separately, I'd recommend it.

Sorry, but I've no experience of the BBT 500 amp - by the way, this amp and the BBT cabs have now been discontinued by Yamaha.[/quote]


Thanks for the input mate. I'm not sure if the chap selling will split the yamaha combo 1x10 & 2x10 ext cab as I think he wants to get shot of them as a package. I can try the yamaha BBT set up & then the Asdown ABM (through his ashdown 4x10) & try & see if there's much between them.. I'm just not sure about a digital amp..

Thanks again, Anth.

[quote name='Musky' post='156182' date='Mar 12 2008, 04:47 PM']PM Geejay - he has (or had) a BBT 500H.[/quote]


Aye, I will do, cheers mate

[quote name='Willl' post='155988' date='Mar 12 2008, 02:13 PM']Your drummer must be a special one and very different to mine...

ABM would appear to be the pick of the bunch.
Will you get a chance to try playing the Ashdown through the Yamaha 2x10 as (if it sounds good to you) it would appear to be a good compromise for portability and gigability.

Willl[/quote]

Hi Will,

The drummer is special cos its me! I am new to playing bass & play drums in my band.

www.gasolineallstars.com


I will have the chance to play it through the guys 4x10 ashdown.

I don't think he will split the yamaha combo with the yamaha 2x10 cab (I think the yamaha 2x10 matches the 500 1x10 combo) for output ect, I think the 2x10 cab is only 2 OHMS so I'm not sure if it would be ok with the ashdowm ABM 325 Head.

I'm hoping that someone on here has had a yamaha BBT500 & can give me some advice on them.

Cheers, Anth.

[quote name='johnnylager' post='155738' date='Mar 12 2008, 08:31 AM']As what? Can they get jobs? ABM btw.[/quote]

Drummers are not as daft as they look! That’s not possible is it?
Cheers for the advice.. On the Amp.

[quote name='Musky' post='155679' date='Mar 12 2008, 12:42 AM']The ABM will only be knocking out about 200w into an 8 ohm load (ie one cab) so you'd be ok using it. I've no experience of the Yamaha, but at that price the ABM is still looking good to me. If you look for matching cabs second hand you might just shoehorn a pair of 2x10s in secondhand (if you get lucky).[/quote]

Cheers Musky, I have until the weekend to decide so hopefully there will be a few more replies. I do think the ABM as everyone is seeming to go for that but that was before I mentioned the Yamaha.

Cheers Mate

[quote name='Flintlock' post='155492' date='Mar 11 2008, 07:25 PM']Why don't you get the 210, then save the extra money. If you really feel like doing some heavy gigging you may need a 115 or another 210, but these will be easier to carry round then one big 410 cabinet (employ the drummer).[/quote]

Aye, Thats a great idea BUT!

The guy selling the Ashdown is also selling a yamaha BBT 500 with matching 2x10 cab

[url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product.asp?id=4191"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product.asp?id=4191[/url]

As I said earlier, I am not a whizz on the bass & have no idea about amp/head/combo to go for.

I was 100% gonna go for the ashdown ABM but the yamaha combo has started my brain rattling !

[quote name='Machines' post='155398' date='Mar 11 2008, 04:33 PM']Might as well go for an Ashdown cab to match it . Whats your budget for the cab ?

£150 will get you a MAG210 [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Ashdown-MAG-210-T~ID~2053.asp"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~A...0-T~ID~2053.asp[/url]

£270 will get you an ABM210 [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Ashdown---ABM-210T-Compact~ID~2047.asp"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~A...act~ID~2047.asp[/url]

I make no apologies for my blatant bias to Ashdown [/quote]

I was hoping to spend no more than £300 for cabs & was thinking about getting two 2x10's..
The ashdown cab at £150 has only 200 watts so would that be ok with a head that was 325 watts or would I be better going with the cab that does 300 watts?
I don't really understand ohms & output ect.. I just want a head & two 2x10's that sound good but lound enough if I ever get round to playing a gig with it. I don't really want to have to carry a 4x10 around..

CHEERS!

Cheers to everyone who has replied, I think the Ashdown ABM is the one to go for according to most of you.

Now all I have to is decide on a cab...???

2 x 10's is what I'm after so any cab info would be mint!

Thanks very much.

[b]Anybody got any advice or input on bass heads. I have around £200 to spend on a head & I am still a novice player.
I bought a heavy combo which is now sold so I'm after a Head & speakers.

I have the chance of a second hand ashdown ABM 300 EVO II for £180.

A new MAG 300 for £191 from soundslive, Or a Gallien Krueger backline for £200.

Any advice on heads & cabs would be great.

Thanks.[/b]
