No, it's the 1x12 that they did in Tweed, lovely looking combo with a great amp that ticks alot of my boxes. Just wondering about whether a speaker upgrade would make it even better. Cheers, Doug
-
Thanks for the moral support Jack:) I've measured the port now at 5.5cm in diameter and 5cm deep. This could be the start of a nice learning journey as at the moment winISD seems to have a bit of a learning curve. Can't be rocket science... Or can it??

Thanks for the replies - very much appreciated. I'll have a look at Win ISD to see if I can get a sense of what the options are.

Hi, I'm considering whether to replace the stock Ashdown driver with a better one as while I love ashdown amps the MAG combo I have is a bit let down by the speaker. It was a cheap combo so it can't have been a high spec driver but I really like the MAG amps. It is a 37litre box with a cylindrical port. Haven't measured the port. The amp puts out 300watts (RMS) at 4ohms. I like the idea of a very sensitive 8ohm speaker as its leaves me with the option handling much bigger stages with a big second cab. With a box this size (quite small but not tiny), is it worth spending about £100 for a more efficient driver? My main question is about how much bass / bottom end / h-word it'll ever deliver.. Lastly, and I can guess the answer but will ask anyway, would anyone make the tempting but probably unwise move of putting a 300w 4ohm speaker in there? Anyone done it? Worth the cost and faff? Cheers, Doug

Good shout, the power supply that is. Don't think it's about Class A and Ohms as these sounded very loud (and still do) in 8ohm combos. Could also be something to do with how the volume pots worked. Few people know how much louder they get past about noon! Just seen that Bill has suggested the volume knobs too. Wish I could say great minds think alike... but that'd be doing BFM a disservice

This has been an interesting read, thanks folks. Only half joking with this question... Can anyone explain why old Trace Elliott (and maybe a few others like Peavey) are perceptibly louder than most other amps with like for like RMS ratings? People usually just grin and shrug, but is there a reason Trace Watts seemed to be louder?? I ask in sheer curiosity, as a fan of both science and Trace Elliott

Hi all, Update :::: Combo has been sold. Will list the bright onion pedal separately::::::: selling my Roland Cube as part of a general clear out of gear. It is in very clean, mint condition and I'll send it in the original double box (the tough brown one and colourful inner one), with the big foam corners to protect it. The manual is in the, unopened. You will know all the features so I'll just point out that it is very loud indeed, way louder than you might expect for a 60w combo, is an easy one handed carry and would survive a thermonuclear strike I am also including the Bright Onion footswitch that has 6 pedals to control all the channel and effect switching on the amp, including the looper. They're over £100 and this has barely been used. Pics of the pedal coming soon. Great bit of kit, so flexible and useful and certainly not just a bedroom / kids amp. £250 plus postage for the amp and the pedal. I reserve the right to withdraw this if I come to my senses!- 1 reply

Highly regarded analogue overdrive / distortion pedal that is no longer in production. In very clean condition as shown in the pics. Treble and bass knobs plus the classic / modified switch makes it a very flexible pedal. They've been discussed here and on talkbass quite a bit and are thought to be a very natural, responsive and dynamic pedal with no bottom end loss. To avoid any confusion, there is no tube in the pedal, it's solid state analogue... but it does sound tubey! Takes a standard 9v boss style power supply (not included). £60 includes UK postage. -
no contest - get a Roland Cube. Global availability, will last longer than any of us and they sound very good indeed Welcome back to Bass

For a backup amp I'd go for the mosfet version. Less glass to break. They're not 2000 watts, OK, but it'll still be more than loud enough for almost any real-life gig situation if paired with an efficient cab.

Hi folks, had these knocking around for ages. They came from a Mexican Fender Jazz body that I bought years ago. They look to be a standard sized pair of passive jazz pickups - happy to measure them if anyone wants me to. £35 posted to the UK -
Tom bought my octaver (chowny) and paid straight away , lovely guy to deal with. All the best, Doug.

SOLD PLEASE REMOVE Hi folks, selling this as once again I've realised I prefer single pedals. This is mint condition, used to test it out only. It is very versatile, and can be made more so by using a remote footswitch to control almost anything you can think of. All the effects and parameters are in the download able guide. Tuner and looper are also both easy to use and access. The little known feature that made me buy it is that it is also great for guitar, it even has guitar specific preamps as well as bass ones. Sounds great as most BOSS stuff does, I just prefer idiot proof stompers. £130 including UK postage. Pics: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1fqEuxwgMWu6Rzpd77Ggs3iVcXGPAQ_uv

Really lovely sounding preamp this. It has a really nice tube tone that is in ampeg / fender territory. Works fab as a guitar combo emulator too. For a fenderish tone. The harmonics and drive dials are where the magic is, it never gets very dirty so if you want a clean or a just breaking up sound this is honestly as good as anything I've heard. Sad to see it go but its surplus to requirements here and I try to run a one in one out policy! It is absolutely as good as new, as is the box. Pics coming here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1jADL3gw2lmRhehktt9VBHLb6Lh-2IenF Happy to post it for a fiver

hi folks, selling a good ol' TU3. Good condition, in the box. Pics to follow as soon as I can do so. £45 includes UK postage.

Bought this very recently from fellow basschatter in Newcastle, not being able to resist the temptation to try out this Canadian rarity. The conclusion is that as much as I really wanted to love it, it is not quite right for me and my sound ... but it could be perfect for yours Very clean condition, no box unfortunately. Happy to post it for an extra fiver. Pics are here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1MjfLjatqYC7-EBnSCtKo9QrVvCXXaEAS Enjoy
