    Bumpety for price drop £400

    Simply put, Clarky is THE gentleman par excellence! Dealing with Clarky is a guarantee of a smooth and pleasant experience. His honesty, communication and the exemplary condition of the gear he sells are just perfect. I have been dealing with Clarky for a couple of years now and I have never thought of posting feedback, but every single deal has been the sweetest ever. This time, I bought Clarkys Acoustic Image Ten2. It arrived supremely well packaged and in immaculate conditions. A top product sold by a top fella. Top marks from me!

    if you want to get your 300w you need to create a 4ohm load, either by a single cabinet rated at 4ohms or by stacking 2 cabinets rates at 8ohms each. your current 10inch can is rated at 8ohms, so if you stack another 8ohms on top you get the 4ohms and 300watts maximum power. After all of this, just to confuse you, remember that wattage is not the be and end of it if you wanna make a big noise: in fact the size of speaker is also very important. So even with your 8ohms cab, your wee 10inch will never be as efficient as a 4x10 or 1x15. There is a lot more to it of course, sorry if the above is not explained as clearly as it could be.

    I think so for just now. But you may want to get yourself some free headroom in the future whenever you can afford it, so you don't have to push your amp and compromise its qualities. The louder you get though, providing you can tame feedback, and the less you'll sound like a traditional DB. Still some rockabilly and psychobilly guys are after that modern, tsunami-inducing, constipation-curing thunderous sound. Nothing wrong with that and I myself enjoy some Brian Setzer Orchestra and Rev Horton Heath. Great bass sounds, no acoustic quality to it. If that's what you're after, you gotta stack up those cabs...

    I think that's what most people do, At least in the DB world. I use my amp for monitoring and post eq DI signal 90% of the time now. But there are lots of venues with inadequate Front of house systems: pubs, Community festivals, some arts centres just for some examples. In those cases if you don't have the potential of an amp configuration who could at least move a bit of air, you're just not gonna be heard. Now, all you may need in that case is a cheap extension speaker for your Genz 3.0, which you can keep in the garage until such venue comes along. That would allow you to get the full 300w out of you current rig and it's probably gonna be enough. Sound quality may be a bit compromised, but it may not be the kind of gig where the quality of your sound is noticed anyway? Just a thought. Anyway, yes everybody needs a Plat Pro or equivalent to get you out of trouble in unexpected situations IMO.

    If you like Genz, I have a Shuttle 6.2 in the classifieds. Add a 2x12 and you can be heard on the moon (well not quite, but loud enough for anywhere and still hi fi sound). Pardon the plug.

    I'm glad you got an opportunity to get a 3/4. Enjoy!

    And a wee review for the Spanish speaking bassist he he. Jokes aside, this is a top amp in wonderful condition for a very much bargain price. Feel free to PM me thanks. http://youtu.be/Y7SyIgL8tMs

    Hi all, as this is currently on eBay for £135 I'm going to do a Basschat special for £120 posted, saving fees etc. PM me if interested. That's for the complete system: 2 pickups and preamp!
  12. Rabbie
    And here's the bass whisperer himself singing the praise for this splendid wee amp.... http://youtu.be/SP-OazNzPdY

    No trades on this one thanks guys. A 1 year old Genz Benz Shuttle 6.2, treated beautifully and in immaculate condition. Comes with original box. A wonderful amp as all the online reviews will tell you. RRP was £730 last year and now you can't get them anymore as you all know. Here are the info from Genz Benz: [i][size=4]The SHUTTLE 6.2 series launches the 2nd generation of these innovative lightweight bass amplifiers. With the addition of our proprietary 3DPM™, 3 dimensional power management circuitry, the amp delivers thicker "heft" to the individual notes and overall increased headroom. The 12AX7 tube preamp also features increased available gain for enhanced versatility from warm, articulate tone to all out aggressive overdrive. Genz Benz quality, versatility and tone delivering 600 watts of output and rich feel in this lightweight package. For any concert stage the SHUTTLE 6.2 is a high-powered bass "solution" that still fits into your gig bag. [/size][/i] New price £400 posted is a pretty sweet deal I'd say, but please feel free to PM me with any questions (NO trades please).

    These are good strings at this price, good shout for those who want to try a modern version of a gut set, super low tension steels. When they first came out I got a pair and had them on one of my basses for a year, did all sort of gigs and they performed well. At this price you'd be struggling to get weedwackers so it's a fair deal I'd say.
  17. Rabbie
    Gonna stick this on the old eBay too to speed up the process I'm afraid...

    Practically new, never gigged, rehearsed twice. Turns out I'm not that much of a "clicky" kinda guy.... However, by far the best 'rockabilly' pickup system I have tried, especially given the price. The preamp is very clever, fits snuggly to the tailpiece and has all the controls you need to get "your sound". New resuced prive £120 posted. I'm not too sure I'm gonna be able to find the original box, so here is the link to the owner's manual!

    Hi SteveJ, I have 2 of these and I am planning indeed to keep one as an extension cab for an Acoustic Image amp I am hoping to buy soon, so yes I think it's a good idea. For everyone else: I know these have a good name for electric bass but I can't give specific comments as I only play upright. It certainly sounds good and it's light to carry if that's of help.

    Sorry guys, I need the casharoo, no trades. As for price, I can take 20 quid off but then I'd have to charge postage, so it's be the same in the end. Of course happy for collection from Perth, Scotland.

    A great extension cab with 12inch ceramic speaker, putting out 200w at 8ohms and of course very useful on its own or as an extension cab. This one is practically new, having made it out of the box once to test its working with a trio setting: it works very well indeed. £200 posted to the UK is more than fair I'd say. Here's a wee spiel from Genz: The FOCUS™ LT bass cabinets represent an evolution in cabinet design blending progressive, lightweight cabinet construction with ceramic drivers optimised for today's player. These compact, classic configurations are available in 4 models, each developed to deliver demanding performance, tight focused bass response along with design features you would only expect from GENZ BENZ.

    Aye I hear you all... Before I had the estate, I spent 3 years touring as a double bass player with a Fiat Panda. So I know all the stories about basses and small cars. As I said, I'm no car fanatic so mustangs not my mustard. Despite being ugly, the berlingo may be bingo for me. Or just back for another estate, possibly out of the batch mentioned above. Thank you very much.
