I recently joined a Deep Purple Tribute, having never really paid them much attention in the past, I was pleasantly surprised by the bass playing. Not only that but it’s given me the opportunity to gig my Rics again. 

I’ve finished the aluminium profile on the lower grill. It needs the corners tightening up (it’s all one piece of aluminium like the original) so I’ve given it to a blacksmith friend who’s got a very sharp 90° angle on his vice. Mine has wooden jaws so the angle and  alignment is a touch vague and I want it spot in before the corners are soldered up. The preamp has also had a service and a coupe of minor issues sorted out. 

I’ve managed to get hold of a 361 rig. It’s in great nick for a 53 year old amp. A little dusty and grubby rather than damaged. I’ve given it one clean but it needs a going over with a nail brush I think. It also had the top grill missing so I’m in the process of making one. Just need to bend the aluminium frame.

I suspect when Mrs @cd_david finds out you've been doing that on her good rugs you're in for a hiding.

its my rehearsal space, thankfully this stage required nothing that would damage the rugs. 😉

I managed to get hold of the Holy Grail of Acoustic rigs. Same as Jaco, JPJ and Bobby Vega, an Acoustic 360/361. 
 

it came without the top grill so I’ve made one and bought Some aluminium angle to make the surround with. I need to find someone to aluminium weld the corners but the grills finished. I put new cloth on the old one so they both match. 
gave the tolex a good clean yesterday too but it needs going over again with a nail brush to get into the contours properly. 
 

ill glue down all the tears and edges but I’m not going to re tolex this one, it’s a 1968 vintage and as they say, it’s only original once. 

I’ve just returned from a trip down to Richard’s to buy his Ashdown ABM 500. 
A faultless deal, great communication and a lovely guy. Beautiful amp in immaculate condition. 
I can’t recommend Rich highly enough. 

Thanks

I’ve decided to sell my 2nd (top one in pictures) Dynacord BS412. It’s currently being recapped (precautionary) but ready early next week. 

The amp is very high end 1980s German studio quality. The bloke recapping it can’t believe the unnecessary quality inside this thing. 
theyre 250w or 350w with an extension cab

The Compressor is amazing, I usually hate onboard comps but this one is very good.

The amp is its own flightcase, remove the front lid and away you go. 

I don’t need two amps and am currently looking for the matching extension cab instead of the 2nd amp.

Collection/postage from Newcastle or we could meet for fuel costs.

Hi Mike

PM me any gear you may be selling that needs restoration? 
 

Thanks 

Dave 

I found another one on eBay. A quick trip to Edinburgh yesterday and its keeping the other one company at the studio. 

I only bought it as I thought it was better cosmetic condition than the first one but it’s more or less the same. This one is a little older according to the serial number.

A previously owned 301 has returned to the fold 😬

Is anyone selling a 408? Preferably unloaded? I’ve got 4 original eminence looking for a home. 
Thanks 

Absolute Filth 🤤 2 band transitional era in teal is still one bass I’d love to own.

Isn't @cd_david selling an early P bass in the "For sale "thread"?

 

Thanks, I was thinking of selling my 78 Walnut but it was only to buy a specific bass. I tried them both side by side and decided not to sell it. 
cheers 

HH IC100S New Front Panel. I bought 2 of these for a restoration, both were manufacturing 2nds with slight imperfections in the silver backing. They were both very similar and this is the surplus one. I’ve tried to photograph the imperfections but they’re not too obvious.
£10 plus postage.

SPARES OR REPAIR!

HH vintage PA 100 head. Cosmetically it’s missing one end cheek and two knobs. The amp does not work. Powers up but squeals. Everything is inside including the reverb tray. 
could be quite an easy fix or used for spares to renovate another HH 

price £20 plus postage

Any questions please ask. 
 

Thanks 

Vintage early 80s Peavey BW 215 cab. The Black Widow drivers are long gone and it has been reloaded with fanes iirc. Wattage is 300 and 4 ohm load. 
The cab was owned by a local college, hence the asset numbers but was bought by me in an equipment sale around summer 2018. 
Since then it’s been used a few times in my rehearsal room. It’s a great sounding cab. It’s quite large and heavy but benefits from both.

I had 2 of those cabs, put 4 new Fane reconed speakers in from DC Boultons off Manningham Lane in Bradford, sounded huge, even only powering it from a 50 w Marshall head. Bloody heavy though. Have you still got the front clip on cover ?? made it a lot safer to transport.

Unfortunately the front wasn’t with the cab when I got it. I’ve only ever seen one with the front on and wished I’d bought it at the time.
