  1. [quote name='cetera' timestamp='1335094306' post='1625572'] I'll take it! Etienne, please see your PM... :-) [/quote] Sold to Cetera...
  2. Now sold, pending payment...
  3. [quote name='Sanuuu' timestamp='1334830405' post='1621891'] PM sent [/quote] Replied...
  4. PMs replied to... still available. Not sure if I'm doing the right thing selling this to be honest! Has anyone on here had good results running a Catalinbread SFT in front of a G-K head by the way? I'm sizing up an SFT and am curious to know how it'd do with this... [quote name='sifi2112' timestamp='1334822583' post='1621696'] What valve amp are you after ? I've a Markbass Classic 300 all valve head for sale ...? And do fancy a 800RB even if I don't need one (currently use 700) [/quote] Thanks for the offer, but the Markbass is way out of my budget, and more power than I really need anyway! I think something that can do 100 genuine Watts into 4 and 8 ohms would be ideal- I just tried a mate's old Simm-Watts PA 100 head this week, and that was pretty good... ps know what you mean! I love G-K amps- My other one's the 1001RB-II...
  5. [quote name='Mylkinut' timestamp='1334710188' post='1620219'] Lovely, if I decide to (and manage to) sell my Ric I'll be having this [/quote]
  6. [quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1334751177' post='1620617'] Looks a fine example of an outstanding bass. Do you want to swap with a custom P Bass build? [/quote] Thanks for the offer, but I'm not really looking for trades- need the cash!
  7. Just took delivery of Rob's Para Driver this morning- nice easy transaction, good comms and well-packaged goods. Another thumbs-up from me!
  8. ***SOLD*** Really hope I don't regret this! As those of you in the know will testify, this is a fantastic-sounding classic bass head. I've been running this pretty hard into a single Barefaced Compact in my band's practise room ever since I bought it, and it's been super-reliable (and loud!) the whole time. Sadly though, it needs to go in order to raise funds for a valve bass head... The amp is still in the same good condition that I bought it in at the time- all the controls and functions work fine, all knobs are intact, etc. There are 4 machine screws missing from the bottom panel (the previous owner neglected to mention this at the time), but they don't affect the integrity of the amp casing one bit. It comes with the all-important rack ears and carry handle attached, plus the mains lead too. I prefer to take payment by bank transfer whenever possible (please check my positive feedback thread in my sig), but can also do Paypal if necessary. If you're interested, or have any questions about the head, PM me and let me know... Thanks for looking! Etienne
  9. ***SOLD*** Hi everyone, I've been in two minds for the last few weeks whether to sell this or not (as it plays and sounds fantastic), but I'm looking to pick up a valve bass head in the very near future to use with one of my bands, and need to raise the cash... I bought this from Jigster back in January this year. The bass was advertised as MIJ, but it's actually Made In Taiwan like the majority of the 1100S models (to be fair, this is [i]very[/i] faintly stamped into the back of the headstock underneath the serial number- I didn't spot it for a while, and neither did Jigster, as it happens! ). Don't let that put you off though, as it's a superbly-made instrument, whatever its origin. The detail, fit & finish is better than some basses I've played costing 2 or 3 times the price- certainly far better than the majority of Fenders I've tried in my lifetime! Because of Yamaha's bizarre serial numbering system (where they recycle the whole system every 10 years), it's difficult to ascertain the precise year of manufacture, but after talking to several Yamaha aficionados on Basschat, it seems most likely to have been built in 1986. The serial number is MO22078, which according to Yamaha means that it was Unit Number 78, built on August 22nd. There are zero issues with it functionally- I gave it a thorough checkover when I bought it, and the electronics, including the switchable 3-band active circuit and all the pots, work perfectly. The bass can be run active or passive- in fact, you don't even need to install a battery for passive mode! Both pickups are strong and sound great. The neck is super stable, so no tuning issues here! Tuners and bridge work and adjust easily. Cosmetically, there's the odd ding here and there in the bodywork, but nothing out of the ordinary for a bass of this age. The bass is currently set up to my personal taste with 45-105 Ernie Ball Slinkys (with a medium high action for solid fingerstyle and pick playing), and for me, this is one of the nicest instruments I've ever gigged with. The neck is rock-solid and beautifully finished, with a really nice-looking rosewood board, and a slight birdseye to the maple on the reverse. It plays great, and sounds incredible, particularly on the solo'd neck pickup- proper classic P-bass growl, better than the real '79 P-bass I used to own! I'm looking for a firm [b]£300[/b] for this, plus P+P costs to send it within the UK. No offers please! Collection from Liverpool city centre is always welcome too- you'll need to bring a gig bag to take it home though, as it doesn't have a bag or case of its own... I prefer to take payment by bank transfer whenever possible (please check my positive feedback thread in my sig), but can also do Paypal if necessary. If you're interested and have any questions about the bass, PM me and let me know... Thanks for looking! Etienne
  10. ***TRADED*** Hi everyone, I acquired this from BC member daveybass last summer (after looking for one for ages), but to be honest, I've rarely used it in that whole time! 9 times out of 10, I use the DI from my G-K head for the gigs I do, which means that this is just sitting in its box. I think it needs a good home where it'll be appreciated and used... It's in very good condition throughout, and works flawlessly. The previous owner had removed the four rubber feet and stuck very strong velcro tape to the underside, but the feet are included if you want to reattach them. As mentioned, it comes boxed, with two Duracell 9V batteries installed to get you started. No instructions included- however, I will include a printed copy of a home-made user's guide (originally published by a member of T**kbass) which has loads of useful info on how the controls work and interact. I bought it for [b]£110[/b] (inc. postage), and think that it owes me the same... no offers please! PM me if you're interested, cheers! Etienne

  12. [quote name='electric nate' timestamp='1331493226' post='1573745'] I dunno about the single finest, I feel that might be yet to come in the ever changing world of amplification and instrument technology. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDGRc_krpYg[/media] This has always been fairly near the top of my list of great bass tone though. Nice subtle grind, enough to give the tone a bit of edge, not so much it sounds overdriven. Far as I know this basically just a well performed and well recorded P-bass+ampeg svt. [/quote] That sounds like a Stingray to my ears, but no doubt that it's a great tone! Always loved that track...
  13. Chris is an absolute gent to deal with, whether it's in person or long distance! I recently bought his Yamaha BB1100S and am very pleased with it indeed- you can buy in confidence from this guy! Thanks for everything mate... Etienne
  14. This used to be mine- it's truly a regular gigger's delight! Lightweight, balances perfectly, with all the tones and features you'll ever need. Glad to see that Gareth has taken such good care of this...
  15. Hey, I recognise these! Both used to be mine a good few years ago now- they've still even got the little marker arrows I stuck on the control plates at the time... good luck with the sale!
  16. Thanks to both of you Andy and Dave- the gear's great!

    Recently bought an Aguilar Tone Hammer from Dave- I took delivery of it yesterday and am very pleased with it so far! Everything was pretty straightforward in the midst of what I can only assume were difficult personal circumstances for Dave, who nevertheless did his best to keep me informed throughout our dealings. Thankyou mate... another good Basschatter! Etienne
  18. Should you consider splitting these at all... Can I have first dibs on the cab please?
  19. [quote name='GarethFlatlands' post='1339841' date='Aug 14 2011, 06:02 PM']Doh! Dibs if it falls through for any reason.[/quote] Just waiting for the payment to come through from anty this afternoon, so I'm 99.9% certain that this is a done deal. Will let you know if anything changes though!
  20. [quote name='anty' post='1337527' date='Aug 12 2011, 12:40 PM']would you do it £80 to northern ireland (postcode BT42 4EB)[/quote] I've just PM'd you mate!
  21. Still for sale! I've just updated the trade options in the original post. Also, after some thought, I would prefer to keep this as a UK-only sale.... Cheers!
