  1. Oh man,..........I've had two barefaced 1x12 cabs for a couple of years now and they are a revelation...lighter than a tray of coffee cups and sound great....try em..you'll never go back to having a couple of lumps in your throat that aren't your tonsils.......PS, you're a brave man admitting to the stingray thing lol
  2. The one thing I remember back in the 70's when I started playing was everything was heavy and never really sounded clear or loud enough unless you were lucky enough to own Ampeg or Acoustic stuff. I played through various amps of the day including Selmer Treble/bass, Elgen (caught fire on stage lol) and Orange but bar far the worse by a country mile was the Carlsbro Stingray..anyone have experience of this one? These days we are absolutely spoilt for choice with all kinds of really top line amps and cabs that sound great and weigh nothing. Mind you for anyone who started playing in the 70's its a godsend having this type of equipment.
  3. My cream one cost a bit more brand new in 1973...my Mum bought it for me on HP at 75p per week from a store in Doncaster. Around the same time she also bought me a Dallas Arbiter Slider amp with little slider controls on top....not very loud and certainly not loud enough to hear above a drummer. I totally blame my dear late Ma for all the the thousands of pounds I've spent on the bass gear in the following 45 years. GLWTS mate, you've brought back some happy memories.
  4. I think there was another manufacturer called Zenta with a bass that looked exactly the same...anyone remember them?
  5. I am now the proud owner of an absolutely stunningly gorgeous and fantastically sounding 1971 Jazz bass that Si had for sale recently. May I say Si that you are a really great guy to deal with, honest, genuine and a pleasure to do business with. Can't thank you enough. Steve
  6. Thanks Spyder...they are excellent sounding and very portable. Totally surprised they haven't been snapped up by some savvy bassist
  7. So do I....got the same on my Stringray....looks great
  8. Sorry Cuggmiester I really don't want to split them......why don't you buy both of them and sell the 15" cab
  9. I think the models are 115 XT and 208 XTT.....the plate on the back of each cab isn't very clear...I'm sorry that's all I can tell you
  10. This is the Warwick catalogue I found on-line which feature my cabs. The first 2 are the ones I'm selling. Hope this helps. Cheers.
  11. This is my GK MB fusion 800, if you are looking at my ad you know how absolutely fabulous these amps are. It is barely 18 months old and its only been used a handful of times as I now only use in ear monitoring on stage. It comes fitted with GK rack ears, housed in the latest 3U SKB case. Both are in excellent condition. It comes with channel footswitch (un-used) and GK instruction manual. This is what the GK people say about this set up - A gigantic 800 watts of power in a head so compact it'll slot right into your gig bag Extensive tonal controls for shaping your perfect bass sound Iconic valve tone thanks to three 12AX7 tubes Your last ever bass head - you won't need another Terrific tube tone - no matter your style. The Gallien Krueger MB Fusion 800 Hybrid Bass Amp Head has been expertly designed to ensure you're always able to access the sound you want. With three 12AX7 tubes, you get the classic warmth and fullness of tone that only valves can deliver. These qualities can only enhance your music - whether you're playing rock, metal, jazz, funk, or wherever your own unique sound takes you. It's loaded with a wealth of features - everything you need in one box. Active 4-band EQ, contour control, two gain channels, and tuning mute function all make the Fusion perfect for the stage. It's explosively powerful, too. 800 watts of power will let you blast home every single note. And best of all? It's light. Really light. Weighing in at only 2 KG, it's also super-compact and will slide easily into your gig bag. Let GK change the way you perform - for the better. These amps retail for well over £900 and with the flight case costing £150 someone is going to grab a fantastic bargain. Cash or pay pal please. Delivery cost negotiable. Thank you for looking.
  12. The 1 x 15 cab weighs 20kg approx. and the 2 x 8 cab weighs 18kg. Sorry for the confusion....I originally put them on the wife's scales and they always read lighter
  13. Doesn't anyone want this powerful, great little rig. Highly portable and in great condition. If you want to pay £100's of pounds on a 1x 12 that's your choice, but you cant go wrong with this rig !!
  14. Bet you needed your own transit van and a team of specially trained roadies to lift that lot mate.....must have looked awesome on stage though. Did you manage to fit anyone else on stage?
