PJB 8B 8x5” cab £400

Truly amazing versatile cab, I’ve played loads of gigs on double bass from jazz to acoustic pop with a drummer will full kit and sticks (no feedback!!) and also electric bass in a rock band with a mesa m2000 head which was amazing.
These are very detailed, you really hear exactly what you put into them but they are not sterile or harsh. Small footprint which fits in nicely in a tight pub and the sturdy handle and wheel s makes easy work of loading in and out.

Currently on special offer at bassdirect for £945 so this is a bargain price….

Mesa Subway D-800 amp

Amazing little amp that transformed my views on Class D amp for sure! I got this to replace a mesa M2000 and it’s equally as good for tone but a fraction of the weight and size. After trying a few Class D amps (Genz shuttle, TC rebel, Markbass F1) and not liking them as much as big heavy amps, I really had to think hard about getting this but it blows them all out the water. Huge amounts of power on tap and stunning tone, it’s really easy to get a solid warm but articulate tone out of the D800. The voicing control really works and gives the head a good usable range of sounds from vintage to modern hifi.

I only play double bass these days and were upgrading the PA so we can all DI so I’ve got no need for such a nice amp anymore.
£650 including postage complete with Mesa gigbag. Not really looking for trades but might go for a cheap amp + cash just so I’ve got an amp just in case I ever need one.

•Designed & Handcrafted in Petaluma, California

•Class D Power with 8/4 or 2 Ohm Impedance Switch for optimum Power to Load Performance

•800 Watts @ 4 or 2 Ohms (400 @ 8)

•Active/Passive Input Switch

•Play/Mute Switch

•Preamplifier features: Input Gain with Clip Indicator (O/D LED), Variable Voicing (Flat to Vintage Scoop), Fully Active 4-Band EQ (+/- 12dB of Bass, Low-Mid, High-Mid, Treble) plus Deep Switch (for enhanced low-end) and Master Volume

•Balanced XLR Line Out with Pre/Post, Line/Mic & Ground Lift Switches

•Headphone Output

•Auxiliary Input

•Protection & Limit LED Indicators

•2 Speakon Speaker Output Jacks

•Fan Cooled

•Gig Bag w/Strap

Price is cheap at £600 and I won’t consider silly offers.
Possible amp trades but I’m very picky haha

Great communications, super easy to deal with THANKS !!!

The acoustic version comes with a clip on microphone, if the noise was a LOT lower it might have been useful to blend with a piezo which was the original plan

Nice and simple review now

As expected it's a pile of junk,gonna be sending it back tomorrow. It's so noisy, thin sounding and it sounds a bit fake

I've just ordered one, I'll report back in a few days!

I know it sounds a bit crazy but has anyone tried it? The YouTube demos sound pretty good on acoustic guitars

If I can sell enough to buy it I'd love it, after something that I can distort to f*** and have some nice clean percussive top end on the top of, with all those controls it looks perfect for making some really disgustingly heavy sounds. It looks about as versatile as you could possibly need for anything more sensible then that too. If anyone takes my albeit awesome but nowhere near as flexible VBA400 off me I'm in.

It does overdrive really well, the gain switch on footswitch can boost the gain in a very useable mesa kinda way. the gain switch can be set to either mute or boost gain, set to boost gain and whack gain on full you can have 3 channels clean, dirty and filth, doesnt get easier than that

Mesa Boogie M2000 head

600 watts into 4 ohms, 600 Mesa watts are HUGE watts
I’ve tried a lot of amps over the past years and nothing comes close to the heft and presence of the tone, somehow is manages a real tight focused punch that slams through the mix without cranking it to a level that drowns out the others in the band, it really is a monster of an amp

It looks like a bit of a nightmare with all the knobs and switches but basically its 2 completely independent preamps into one very powerful mosfet power amp. There is a tube preamp and a solid slate pre that can be selected individually or blended. 2 independent compressors one for each channel. The compressors are really cool and sound perfect and can be set for the style of the tone for each channel. The channels can be set however you like but I ran it with one giving a thick fat juicy tube cannel and the other a modern sparkling clear tone and then blended together gives amazing results, 3 completely different voiced tones selectable by the footswitch.

It includes the footswitch which are getting quite rare to find these days but the footswitch really opens up the amp for live use.

These M2000’s do run hot, I confirmed this with Mesa support and I had fitted a 2[sup]nd[/sup] fan to the rear head to help increase the airflow which I does well. I can remove the extra fan if you would prefer it bog standard/

Comes in 4U high quality rack case

I’m only selling as I’m only playing double bass live these days so this is just sat around not being used.

I’ve got a pdf copy of the manual, it’s still available on the mesa website or I can email it to you.

Not really looking for trades unless is for DB focused amps PJB etc

I’m based in Worcester and recommend coming to try it out. I do travel about a lot for work so probably could deliver to most areas to save the cost of shipping a heavy amp

Schaller DB mag pickup model 411

I was playing DB in a loud band with a full on drummer I got this to stop feedback after hearing some great recorded clips of a mag pickup. I didn’t check before i got it but it doesn’t work with Velvet garbos and there is just no way I can bring myself to take the garbos off my bass.

So I decided to get rid of the drummer instead of the strings and replace her with a cajon player and now the mag pickup is surplus to requirements

Unused and never fitted so it’s in as new condition.

Thomman sell em for £92 so i think £65 including postage is a bargain and at that price you can try one and see if you like it
