    Im selling off gear now as I've been delaying this for a while but here it goes. All items are near Durham atm but can be collected from Nottingham also, can also sort delivery at buyers expense. First off a Warick Rockcase 6u its in perfect condition £25 I have a Marshall Head Case 4u the tolex is a very slightly scuffed at a few places but not noticable from any real distance £20 A Gator 4u case, brand new conditon. £40 An SKB 8u rack, decent condition, I got it from basschat not long ago but its to shallow for power amps with rack plates installed behind them also has no rear rack rails. As I paid a few weeks ago £45. No pictures of this yet, I'll get some if wanted. Thomas

    Hi all, Sorry but my poor memory and moving house made me forget about this thread, but yes it is still for sale.

    I'm not after any trades for bass stuff, I am cutting back on most of my gear as I dont play enough to keep it all any more. I'll be selling all of my gear at some point (minus my Jazz), then make a reasonable little combo, so I have something to play when the increasingly rare urge takes me. I'm intreasted in trades/sawps for any P.A gear (not speaekrs tho). Its a long shot but I would also listen to trades for a Festool TS55 or a nice table saw (startrite, wadkin, ect). That is a great price Dan, I'll be thinking again about selling this if thats the typical price atm. Cheers Thomas

    Adding a sub

    thomas replied to xgsjx's topic in Amps and Cabs

    I've built 4 types of DIY sub's before, 2 of which have been BFM designs, and pound for pound the dual loaded tuba 24's are buy quite a distance my favourites. I don’t use them for bass but have tested them for it, and the power and clarity they added to my rig was impressive. For the build practice a few angled cuts (mitre?) and once you have that down they are actually very easy to build. I'd also sugest getting an active X-over, if possible, then simply play it low and you will be grinning from ear to ear for days, oh and you'll also have a wad of cash left.

    Orange...

    thomas replied to rohan's topic in Amps and Cabs

    Matamp also use PBC's these days. They say there is a new 200W bass head coming out soon which I look forward to, but IIRC they are out of the Green tolex so no "Green" matamps for the moment. I think Electric are stopping the production of their amps, which are hand wired btw, and just continuing with the cabinets instead. Some of there marketing is ridiculous but I'm sure their amps must sound awesome, or as they say Mondo!!!! Finally here's some lovely Matamp porn for you:

    [quote name='steve-soar' post='208555' date='May 29 2008, 12:43 AM']Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I tried one of these when our band got some money(1992) and it was the amp but now, too heavy. A classic piece of bass amplification. If I had the space and speakers to match, I would now be on my way to pick it up. Amazing. Put it with a Peavey 2x15" Black Widow equipped cab and it's all good. Good luck Thomas.[/quote] I've had it thu the Peavey in photo and my other 2x15 cab and that combination did sound and look pretty savage. Also its worth noting that compared to most other valve bass heads its a relative lightweight, but yeah its still heavy. The cosmetic condition of it is decent but the top plate has some rack rash and it has small tippex marks on some of the knobs from where the previous owner used to like it set, I've never really tried but I'm sure it can be removed with a bit of effort. Anyhow I had time on my hands today and decided to tackle the half finished head case I had made. Being unable to salvage the green tolex I went with some sanding and a few coats of speaker paint, it came out quite nice. The head case doesn't fit in the flight case, still its nice to have both.

    You need a cab that cab reproduce the low frequencies effectively, as said this Is the more important than looking to get an amp with bags of power. Saying that you do need plenty of power to get the volume you want (I assume that you're playing in some sort of doom band, either that or Nu-metal) something like a Mesa Boogie 400+ would be good. Oh I happen I'm to be selling one .
  13. thomas
    I'm selling to my my 400+ to make way for a host of microphones and P.A related stuff. I've owned this for about 1.5 and in that time have played it for about 10 hours, buying such a thing days before heading off to uni turned out not to be such a good idea. It was checked over buy a Mesa Boogie amp tech at the start of last year and some scratchy pots were cleaned I was told the valves were in relatively new condition (this holds true with the fact the dude I bought it from said it had been revalved 1 year prior to my purchase). It comes with a nice fight case and if you want a half finished head case covered in "Green" tolex (I made somewhat of a pigs ear out of this tho). It resides in the North East at the moment but can be taken down to Nottingham if there is demand, but I'm not sure when. £725 and it's your's.

    Check out this video of the Valnott, a new pedal optimized especially for BM. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WcsV7hQ1V4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WcsV7hQ1V4[/url]

    Even though she doesn’t play bass anybore every bassist should listen to Pamelia Kurstin, she gets a very double bassy sound out of her moog. Check her myspace out, the London 2 live song she has is a personal favourite. .

    I'm also a lefty in Nottingham, can anyone tell me of any bass tutors round here, I cant find any in the tutor forum.

    DIY cabs

    thomas replied to RichardH's topic in Amps and Cabs

    I made it 30'' wide but soon found out that It wouldn't fit through most doors, so I built a pair of 24'' wide tubas 24's that are much more manageable and light becasue of the dual neo speakers in em which were very impressive. Also I'm sure you meant $14.95 but even still they are good value providing you build it.

    After building two tuba 30's I discovered they are bit to big for my front door, good planning ahead as usual. Anyhow as a result I'm currently in the process of building two dual driver tuba 24's. The tubas are a easy and enjoyable enough build, I cant comment on the BFM bass guitar cabs but i'm confident they will be the nuts, so give em a go.

    Man at arms84 it's gonna be very difficult to get one of those 8x10 cabs, matamp still make custom if you ask them nicely tho so they would build you an 8x10 if you wanted, i think. An Orange 8x10's may be hard to find so thats why I said and gave some more realistic options at the end of the post. Check ebay and you might see a few of those 8x10's a year, or check two tribes guitars web site, good luck if you do try to find one of those cabs. Oh, and you don't play in a Doom band do you?

Speaking from massive experience, I personally feel that no one needs to alter their state to appriciate life in all its beauty and horror. Drugs are bad, n'o kay.[/quote] It would be about as bad a representation of me as is possible since I look nothing like Bob Marley. Speaking from massive experience however, I can say DRUGS ARE FUN. DRUGS ARE GOOD. Don't believe the naysayers kids, they are just the quitters, or if not the quitters the one thing worse than that: Larger boys.

    Electric Amp only sell direct in the USA, you'd have to get it shipped over and I'm pretty sure there are fair waiting times for the bigger cabinets, they don't come cheap either. Look for a 2nd hand Orange/Matamp 8x10 and it may sound and look similar, then whack a bunch of new speakers in it to handle the power. Realistically though I'd recommend a 2x15 and a different 4x10 for the volume you seem to be going for. That or make a DIY cab and put what speakers you want in it, and although I don't use BFM cabs for bass playing I'd say give them a look to.
