    Bump for a great amp and a great guy! This was mine previously (I bought it new from Machinehead in Hitchin), and the only reason I sold it to Paul was because I wanted just a bit more headroom- everything else was just perfect for me! I played countless real-world gigs with this over the course of several years, and it never let me down once! The only thing stopping me from buying it back now is the fact that I've blown my GAS fund on an Epiphone Jack Casady Bass... Good luck with the sale mate!

    Thanks Andy! It's a sweet instrument, and sounded amazing at rehearsal tonight! Can't wait to try some flats on it next week...

    Picked up Andy's Epiphone Jack Casady bass earlier this evening- what a fantastic instrument! Can't wait to use it at tomorrow evening's rehearsal... Bought from a nice, honest and knowledgeable guy with great taste in instruments and some good chat... As Brandon Flowers once sang... Andy, you're a star!

    Hi Paul, this is long gone I'm afraid... good luck with your search!

    Now sold, pending payment!

    Think this is going to a new home down south! I'll update this post once Stevie's got his hands on it...

    Bump for a fantastic guitar, even if I do say so myself!

    Thanks for the interest guys! I reckon it's first come, first served for this... the sooner the better! Shinhoman: you're more than welcome to pick it up, but I need to hear back from you ASAP! StevieD: It could be done I suppose, but I'd prefer not to have to package the thing up! Whereabouts are you in relation to Milton Keynes? My folks live just outside of Newport Pagnell, and I'll be heading down to see them early next month- if it's not too much of a detour for me I could drop it off... Again, I'd need to hear back from you ASAP!

    [attachment=35003:DSC00364.JPG][attachment=35004:DSC00363.JPG] I've had this knocking round my flat for ages- somebody please take this away and put it to use! Nothing fancy here- the cabinet's made of chipboard and covered with black carpet. There are cutouts either side for recessed handles, plus an additional hole for the input jack plate. The front is cut to accept a 12" woofer, a wide-mouth HF horn and a port. The grille is a sturdy steel job and fits snugly into the front of the cab. PM me if interested- I'm in Liverpool city centre. Etienne

    [quote name='mike257' post='633438' date='Oct 22 2009, 02:05 PM']I can indeed confirm the Big One is squeezed into the back of my little work van at the moment, looking forward to giving it a bash soon! The box was bigger than I expected, but after taking my 6x10 up a spiral staircase yesterday, it feels well light! I've got a gig on Sunday night, and a practice next week, so I'll give it a going over for that and then move it on, as I know there's a few people round here waiting for a go at it! Cheers Ade for sending it up, and thanks again to Alex for letting us all loose on it![/quote] Hey Mike! If you're still up for it, let's hook up sometime next week- I'm looking forward to hearing the Big One! I'll bring my new G-K head and Compact along to compare...

    If I can sell my Jerry Donahue Telecaster over the next few days I'll be very interested! Unless you fancy a trade for a g****r of course...

    Looks like I'm the first then! Rich just took delivery of my Shuttle 6.0 today (he's putting it through its paces at rehearsal as I type!). A nice straightforward and easy deal conducted via PM with a nice bloke! Good communication, and sent the cheque out pretty quickly too. Enjoy your new pain-free gigging schedule mate!

    Bump... I've had a couple of enquiries about this so far (thanks guys!), but it's still available! Trades for 4-string (possibly 5-string) basses welcomed- hit me with what you've got!
  15. Etienne
    Thanks for posting those up Alex- very informative indeed. I recently sold my Shuttle 6.0 (to Rich, who's hopefully just taken delivery today!) and upgraded to a G-K 1001RB-II, and it really does sound great with my Compact from initial impressions at rehearsal. I think I'm going to put my plans for a second Compact on the shelf, as I really don't think it'll be necessary! According to your newly-published specs, the Compact will easily take the full 460W@8ohms output of the G-K, laugh, and then kick sand in its face... This pairing is so potent, I doubt if I'll ever find that out on a real-world gig! What's your opinion on G-K amps BTW Alex- have you heard one with your cabs yet? EDIT: +1 on the weight savings- that's a hell of an improvement on an already impressively light range of cabs!

    [quote name='ivor fender' post='628840' date='Oct 17 2009, 04:39 PM']Hi I have a fender squier Precision Bass - Serial Number JV11324 - sunburst. This was bought in the early 80's when our bass player left and I had to play bass instead for our pub band (instead of guitar). The Bass in in pretty good condition and has only been played at home on rarae occasions as I've reverted back to 6 string lead. I understand the JV versions are better quality than more recent versions but would anyone know what this would be worth if i deceided to sell?[/quote] Does your JV have a large 'Fender' or 'Squier' logo on the headstock by the way? The Fender-logo'd models belong to the initial production run, and command a premium. In reality, there's no other difference in spec between these and the more common Squier logo'd JV instruments though- just that some buyers would prefer not to be seen playing a 'budget' bass, and will pay more for the different sticker!

    I picked up my well-gigged but original JV '57 P-Bass for £300 in Darlington a while back, and consider it a bargain, especially as it's become my main gigging bass- my US Jazz has been left at home sulking on several occasions recently! When I first brought it home, I A/B'd it against the '79 US P-Bass I also owned at the time (a really nice player itself), and instantly decided to sell the 'real thing'! The JV absolutely smoked it... I'd personally pay no more than £450/500 for a tip-top JV P-Bass, and £600 for an absolutely A1 JV Jazz myself...

    [attachment=34586:DSC00287.JPG][attachment=34587:DSC00288.JPG][attachment=34588:DSC00289.JPG] [attachment=34589:DSC00290.JPG] I bought this a couple of months ago in a six-stringed rush of blood to the head (it happens sometimes... forgive me!) but to be honest it hasn't seen much use, despite the fact that it is an amazing instrument. Two very talented guitarist mates of mine have played this and absolutely loved it, but both are too skint to buy it unfortunately... so over to you guys! For those who aren't familiar with this model, here's a quick overview of mine... -Made In Japan (this is an early/mid-Nineties model I believe). -lightweight double-bound body with 3TS finish. -'52 Tele 'V' profile maple neck (slight 'birds-eye' visible in places), vintage-spec fingerboard radius and fretwire. -vintage 3-saddle 'ashtray' bridge, with brass saddles. -Tele P/U at bridge, Strat P/U at neck. -5-way selector switch: P1: Neck P/U solo- tone pot bypassed (for extra bite!) P2: Neck P/U solo- tone pot engaged (classic Strat sound). P3: Both P/U's together (sounds great). P4: Both P/U's- classic 'out-of-phase' tone. P5: Bridge P/U solo (Tele twang!). The build quality of this is great. The guitar is nice and light, yet still feels very solid. Acoustically, it sounds vibrant and surprisingly loud, which just gets better when you plug it in- it blew me away when my mate tried it through his modified Deluxe! These are pretty rare instruments on the 2nd-hand market, as the production run was reputedly quite short (no more than about 500 made). Mine is completely factory-standard (apart from strings), in VGC overall (just a couple of dings/depressions in the body's finish from the previous owner), and comes complete with a smart Fender padded gigbag. I'm looking for £600 or the nearest sensible offer for this- believe me, it's well worth it! Blows some US Telecasters that I've heard into the weeds... ***NOW SOLD, PENDING PAYMENT*** I'm based in Liverpool city centre. Collection is preferred, but I can deliver this within a reasonable distance if my fuel costs are covered! Shipping is also possible at additional cost... More pictures/info available on request- just PM me. Thanks for looking! Etienne

    [quote name='lateralus462' post='627394' date='Oct 15 2009, 10:09 PM']If it was black I might be tempted - not a fan of sunburst on Tele's to be honest!! Cool guitar though. Thanks Chris[/quote] No probs Chris- it was worth a shot! good luck with the sale...

    How about a trade for my very cool (and pretty rare) Fender MIJ Jerry Donahue Telecaster? [attachment=34518:DSC00287.JPG] Let me know what you think! Etienne
  22. Etienne
    That is an absolutely amazing looking instrument... are you sure you want to sell?!
  23. Etienne
    Whether the music's great or not, it's obvious that your bandmates don't give a f**k about moving things forward. Your skills are completely wasted on a bunch of idiots like these- there are shed-loads of committed musicians/bands that would kill to have somebody as hardworking as yourself in their lineup! I've been in this situation myself before, and it's incredibly frustrating to say the least... Part ways with them ASAP! Hope things work out, and good luck mate!
  24. Etienne
    That is ridiculously good value for a superb cab- somebody grab this quick!
  25. Etienne
    This is now sold to BC's very own Rich, pending payment. Thanks to everyone for your interest!
