Favourites for me are @wateroftyne 73 Sunburst, @walshy Walnut 62 and my 73 BBM. Honourable  mention to my 79 Ray despite the “Booos” when I dared to plug in an active bass 😆

sold 

2 Ritter Padded Gig Bags. Both got what feels like 1” firm padding all round. 2nd bag cost a lot more so definitely higher quality. Plenty of pockets. Bought both new but I’ve never gigged them and only stored basses in them in a cupboard, as such both in immaculate condition. Case 1 £30 (Black and grey)  Case 2 £40 (All black) or swap +/- for a Hiscox STD case. 
 

prices excludes postage.
Thanks

The cost was £140 - that was slightly funny.

Wow! Absolute bargain 😮

That is such a cool looking cab. Good luck with your 'buyer.'

Sold on eBay for 280 but I’m having more trouble communicating with the “buyer” than Clinton Baptiste does with the dead. 🙄

VERY RARE Orange, Bouncer Bass Cabinet. From 1971 this is an incredibly cool vintage bass cab. Looks very retro with its folded horn design. The original 100 watt EV driver has been upgraded to a 400 watt Gauss driver so plenty of headroom and power. The Cab has been restored but the Tolex has puckered in a few places with the glue but still looks great. 

Collection would be preferred but courier could be arranged or we could meet halfway for fuel costs. 

Any questions please ask.

Thanks

Ali McMordie is the first bass player I heard. I can still vividly remember sitting in my neighbours bedroom at the age of 13 and listening to Suspect Device on his Amstrad tower hifi. It was a complete gestalt moment. It was the first time I heard the bass and understanding it as a separate instrument. From that point, on I was hooked on SLF and when I eventually bought my first bass at the age of 16, Ali was the player that taught me everything I needed to know about playing the bass. Melody and movement within even the most aggressive songs was possible. No boring plodding away. The bass could play a tune all by itself yet add so much to the song without over crowding it. 

When I started a YTS at 18 it’s fair to say I was obsessed with bass and music. It consumed my life. So when I met a fellow bass player in the same office I was ecstatic to be able to gas about players, music and gear all day. 

It was this friend that opened the door to Rush and Geddy Lee. This influence came at the perfect time for me to be able to aspire to greater levels of musicianship. Geddys playing floored me. “How can anyone play the bass like that??”  Another vivid memory is listening to a C90 compilation on my Walkman of Rush made by my coworker, on the overnight National Express to London to visit The 1988 British Music Fair at Olympia, little or no sleep with the soundtrack of Free Will, Cinderella Man, YYZ and all Villa Strangiato. For over 30 years, the unlikely combination of Ali McMordie and Geddy Lee have been the two main musical influences in my playing, the mainstays in my listening habit and made me a complete SLF and Rush bore to my friends. Needless to say, a black 76 4001 and a 79 Guild 302 are in my collection. 

Price Drop Bump

If anyone’s interested I’m playing Cambridge Rock Festival on the 29th July so could take it with me and meet up anywhere between Newcastle and Cambridge.

Pretty sure the technology from that era would allow a fairly simple transformer change out to 230V or possibly the existing one has tap change already on it. For a global company like Peavey that would make a lot of sense and they were the amps to have back in the 80's.

Funny you should say that. The guy who I’ve been speaking to used to be Marshall’s  R&D tech and he said exactly the same. He’s going to look at it next week. Either way the step down transformer works a treat.

I had to google it because I've never seen one of these before. Where they all built into flight cases like that?

Yes all of the Max 800s were flightcased

Never seen one of these before. Don't need a amp but very intrigued to how how it sounds? Looks cool btw

Thanks it is a beast. It’s a very flexible amp, with the pre and post input gain you can go from clean to growly tone and the eq being 8 band gives tons of flexibility. It almost has a valves sound to it if you drive the pre.

Love this. Is there any way it can be internally modified to accept UK voltage? 

I’m sure it wouldn’t be too much of an issue as the amp is based on the CS 800 power amp which had 240 clout transformers in. 

Incredibly rare in the U.K. Peavey Max 800 watt amp. 

Flightcase with front and back lids, bi amp or full range 800 watt min 4 ohm load. Pre and post fx loops, cross over, 8 band hi/low eq, DI, line outs.

Unbelievably loud amp. Unbelievably solid. This is no light weight in either power or physical weight. 

This is 110v but comes with a hi power 240/100 converter.
