  1. I've just taken delivery of a Gallien-Krueger MBE150-III combo from Nick this morning. It arrived quickly and in great condition, thanks to the very thorough packaging keeping it safe during the journey from Suffolk to Merseyside. Due to an intermittent electrical fault prompting the sale, a very fair price was agreed for the amp (including the shipping)- the rest of the deal went very smoothly thanks to the regular communication. Highly recommended! Etienne
  2. [quote name='umcoo' timestamp='1411305503' post='2558254'] Had one of these a few years back...same grill cloth and tolex too. Sounded a beast. Best of luck with the sale! [/quote] It is indeed your old cab Chris! Sean bought it from me after I got it from you...
  3. [quote name='CH161' timestamp='1409834556' post='2543770'] Just bought a pick guard from Etienne, what a nice guy! Super quick delivery and great communication and price. Deal with complete confidence. Many thanks... [/quote] Nice one Cliff, thanks for that!
  4. [quote name='jc_riffs' timestamp='1389827564' post='2338507'] Met up with Etienne this evening and part ex-ed my berg ex112 towards his hs410. Etienne is a good friend of mine and a fine player who knows his stuff. His gear is kept in immaculate condition so there were no doubts as to what I was picking up from him. Anyone who buys or sells to Et is dealing with a true gent and can deal in confidence. Thanks again mate [/quote] Forgot to respond to this at the time... Nice one Jake!
  5. Cliff bought a Precision Bass scratchplate from me this week- he was a pleasure to deal with! Paid immediately, and correspondence via PM was quick too. Another recommendation here!
  6. [quote name='CH161' timestamp='1409392657' post='2539244'] I'll have this please. If it's still around. PM'd you. Thanks [/quote] Sold to CH161!
  7. As above! It was made by KGB Music (in Birkenhead) and came fitted on a mid-70's P-Bass that I bought off a mate recently. It looked rather out of place with the rest of the bass looking so worn, so I refitted the original faded scratchplate which I prefer (even though it's broken), so I won't be needing this. There are a few light scratches from playing wear, and marks from where the pots were fitted, but otherwise it's in good nick. I'm after [s][b]£17[/b][/s][b] [s]£15[/s][/b] [b]£10 [/b]for this, including UK postage. ***NOW SOLD*** Etienne
  8. Mike bought a Bergantino EX112ER from me the other week- he paid very promptly after the sale had been agreed, and has been a thoroughly nice chap to deal with throughout... big thumbs up from me!
  9. Now sold, pending payment. Thanks for the interest!
  10. [quote name='lee650' timestamp='1395487468' post='2402940'] If I can sell my Spector, I'll definatley have this and be amp gas free [/quote] Good plan!

  11. Bump- buy this along with the IP112ER also for sale on here and be amp GAS free!
  12. Bump for final price drop- if it still doesn't sell, I'll be keeping it!
  13. Happy Valentine's Day! I'm gigging in Nottingham tomorrow night, then staying at my parent's place near Milton Keynes on Sunday- I can bring this along with me for any interested parties in those areas or along the route... let me know!
  14. Bump for small price drop...
  15. Hi everyone, After recently acquiring another one of these fine cabs in a trade with my good mate Jake (AKA jc_riffs), I have come to my senses and realised that owning three EX112ERs is just plain silly , so I've decided to move one on. This particular cab for sale is the earlier version of the ER, which has a rubberised strap handle on the top of the cab (instead of the later version's side-mounted recessed metal handle). EDIT: Just to clarify, this is definitely the deeper ER cab, despite it saying 'EX112' on the back panel! It's in great condition both inside and out- just some minor scuffing to the plastic corners from being loaded/unloaded at gigs. I have carefully removed and stored the logo badge in a safe place since owning the cab- it will of course be included in the sale, and can be easily reattached if desired. [b]EDIT: Badge has now been reattached to the cab.[/b] The padded Berg cover has done a great job of keeping the carpet pristine, and is in very good condition too. I recently used this particular cab with my Mesa Walkabout head for a mate's album session, and it sounded amazing! Power handling is 350W @ 8ohms, but I'd suggest that's a pretty conservative rating- it can certainly put out a lot of sound with the right amp pushing it! Height: 15 3/4" or 40cm Width: 18 1/2" or 47cm Depth: 15" or 38cm Weight: 40lbs or 18.1KG I'm after[b] [s]£380[/s] [s]£370[/s] £360 [/b]for this, which includes packing and shipping within the UK mainland. No offers please! EDIT: SOLD (pending payment)- thanks for looking! Etienne
  16. [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1389654647' post='2336729'] That's gorgeous - I love the Decade [/quote] Thanks, it now sounds as good as it feels to play! [quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1390141273' post='2341822'] ooooh, lovely ! i bet it sounds insanely good. it's something i've wondered about doing on mine. do you have any problems with the pickup earthing if you touch the pickup surrounds ? [/quote] Thanks! I was weighing it up for a while before taking the plunge, but it's turned out great- better than I hoped! I had the talented chaps at KGB Music in Birkenhead relocate the neck pickup and fabricate a custom scratchplate- it looks like a factory job. The neck pickup's poles are now in exactly the same position as they would be on a Jazz Bass neck pickup, whilst the bridge pickup's poles fall pretty much exactly between 60's and 70's Jazz spacing. As you'd expect, the tone falls squarely into classic Jazz Bass territory, but with an extra kick to the low end- cops the aggressive Geddy Lee tone with ease with the tone full up, and a floor-shaking dub reggae tone with it rolled off. I don't recall any pickup earthing problems with mine before the work was done, but I'm sure that a thorough copper-shielding job would probably cure the issues you describe. I got KGB to copper-shield all the cavities whilst the bass was in bits, and it's now super-quiet with both pickups on full...

    Jake popped round to my flat earlier this evening to swap his Bergantino EX112ER (plus a smidge of cash) for my HS410. Jake and I are mates outside of Basschat, but this is the first time we've done a deal as far as I can recall- surprising with the amount of gear that's collectively passed through our hands in recent times! Anyway, things went as smoothly as you could want- the only doubt of the deal was whether the HS410 would fit in Jake's Audi's boot (it did... just!). As mentioned above, he's a good bloke to deal with, and looks after his gear- I only hope he holds onto this particular cab for a while! Ta mate, talk soon! Et
  18. [attachment=152324:IMG_0898.JPG][attachment=152325:IMG_0899.JPG] My Skyline Decade, after surgery...
  19. Hi everyone, My new year clearout continues! Selling this as it's just not seeing much use unfortunately- I do almost all my gigs with my pair of Berg EX112ERs now, which are easier to get in and out of my first-floor flat. It's in great condition inside and out, sounds as good as its reputation would suggest, and works perfectly. The castors all run smoothly, and the cover is in really good condition too. Power handling: 800W @ 4ohms. Weight: 85lbs/38.5KG (easier to lift and carry than you'd think though). I would like a firm [b]£500[/b] for this. No offers please- it's a bargain already! A cash sale would be ideal (as I'm currently saving for a car), but I will also consider trading for another Berg EX112ER with cover, plus cash my way. ***TRADED + GONE: 15/01/14*** Realistically, this will need to be collected. I live just 5mins outside Liverpool city centre, by Sefton Park. I can promise a warm welcome and a cup of tea to any interested parties making the journey if that helps! PM me if interested, and thanks for looking. Etienne

    Sean's Feedback

    Sean bought my Matamp 212B cab earlier this afternoon, driving all the way from Gloucester in post-Xmas traffic to collect it... that's commitment! An absolute gent to deal with, and things couldn't have gone any smoother- highly recommended! Enjoy the rehearsal tomorrow mate...
  21. [quote name='Sean' timestamp='1388259659' post='2320171'] I just bought a proper man's bass cab from Etienne and it's fabulous. Etienne's a Great bloke - he's already got top feedback, you don't need to take it from me alone ;-) This cab is gonna be married to my ex-Beedster 400+ And will be aired at rehearsal on Sunday. Another proper Basschatter and another great deal. eBay-type feedback: five stars, great seller, would recommend. Traffic was a nightmare going home but the creamy sounds made it all worth while. Have a great NYE gig ;-) [/quote] Thanks Sean, appreciate that!
  22. [quote name='andydye' timestamp='1388057283' post='2318116'] Cool cab [/quote] Thanks, it is! [quote name='Sean' timestamp='1388083926' post='2318412'] Hi Could you post the HxWxD dimensions and give an idea of the weight, please? :-) Thanks Sean [/quote] Hi Sean, I'll PM you shortly!
  23. Merry Christmas Basschatters! I'm starting early with my New Year's resolutions, and selling the gear I don't use enough. First up is my Matamp 212B, in black tolex finish with salt & pepper grille cloth, and fitted with a pair of 300W 8ohm Celestions. I bought this to pair up with my Simms-Watts PA100 head (shown below- not for sale!), and for this reason, my sound engineer flatmate and I installed a series/parallel switch on the back panel to allow it to run at either 4 or 16ohms impedance (the latter setting matches the S-W's output transformer). Speakon output only, but I will include a short jack-to-Speakon lead in the sale. The cab performs faultlessly on either setting, sounds great, and is in very good overall condition. The tolex has a few small tears on the bottom edge from being transported between rehearsal rooms, but that's about it. Only gigged a couple of times since I've owned it, and certainly never abused! It has two wooden skids on the base for vertical use, and four rubber feet on one side for horizontal use. Will also be supplied with two logo grille badges. I would like just [b]£250[/b] for this. No offers please! [b]*EDIT- SOLD, pending collection this weekend*[/b] Viewing/testing/collection encouraged- I live just outside Liverpool city centre, by Sefton Park. I can arrange delivery via UPS at extra cost to interested parties further afield. Please PM me for further info- thanks for looking! Etienne
