Long shot but I would also p/x against a two-channel Series 4 Acoustic Image Clarus head (so I can slot this into my Ten2 combo; currently I only have the single-channel head); or against an EA Wizzy M-line 12 cab (just this specific model); or a smaller Acme cab (lighter in weight at least) such as the Full Range 12

I am looking to sell a pristine (imported from US manufacturer by me in past year) Acme Low B2 2x10" cab (its the 4 ohm version). Its very hi-fi, has tons of bottom end for 5 stringers (hence name) and goes loud with sufficient juice (500W is ideal). Also very good for double bass (which is what I use it for and why I've also advertised in the DB/EUB FS forum), being very uncoloured (a la Euphonic Audio). My problem is, superb though it is, it weighs 50 pounds and I need ultralight with my glass back. Asking £400 collected from Hammersmith area, London (will also post for £15 in UK) - a 30% discount to what it would cost to import new (c.£575 incl shipping and import duty). You know my feedback so when I say its pristine, it really is pristine! Specs here: [url="http://www.acmebass.com/#/products"]http://www.acmebass.com/#/products[/url] The blurb from the website says:[list] [*][font=arial, helvetica,][size=2]A very compact cabinet with the bass extension of a good 18" subwoofer. [/size][/font] [list] [*][font=arial, helvetica,][size=2]Amazing transient response; from the fundamental of the open B-string, right up to the highest harmonics of a C or F-string. [/size][/font] [list] [*][font=arial, helvetica,][size=2]Loud enough for a single cabinet to hold its own against most drummers. [/size][/font] [list] [*][font=arial, helvetica,][size=2]High power handling. 350W RMS is a good starting point due to the relatively low efficiency of the cabinet. 500W RMS is ideal. The more power, the better the sound. (Within reason - It's only a 2x10"!)[/size][/font] [/list] [/list] [/list] [/list][list] [*][font=arial, helvetica,][size=2]Use it with an upright bass for loud jazz gigs and be rewarded with true acoustic tone. [/size][/font] [list] [*][font=arial, helvetica,][size=2]A pair makes a very loud, versatile and compact rig. Stack them end on end for amazing dispersion and clarity or side by side for enormous kick. Use them as a high quality PA. For those occasions where true bass response is paramount, monitor your recordings with them. They really are that 'HiFi'! And the entire rig will still fit on the back seat of your compact hatch[/size][/font] [/list] [/list] Sale only (no trades) I'm afraid

And replied

Still available

As they said on the Flashing Blade, its better to have fought and lost than never fought at all

I bought a few day-old, as-new set of Velvet Blues last week for about £85 from an Italian seller on TalkBass (they come up about £135-150 new). I didn't get on with Garbos and thought the slimmer Blues would suit me better. They have nice low/medium tension and are gratifyingly loud (they would be great for busking!). Tone-wise they seem half way between steels (they are copper-wrapped) and gut-alikes. I am not going to stick with them as they make my old German 3/4 bass quite dark sounding (Spiros are brighter sounding on this bass). Any interested at £80 posted? Very good, virtually as-new condition still Cheers Clarky Ps if you want to hear how they sound here's a guy fromTalkbass playing some Velvet Blues [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5py7OOV177M[/media]

On further consideration I am withdrawing from sale

Going to bump this one last time. If it doesn't sell soon, I will just buy an Ikea luggage trolley to cart this around on as the Wizzy cab I was after looks like its sold to someone else

Check out post 17 above, payment plan considered

I bought this last summer on BC but, while I keep being drawn to Jazzes in the looks dept (and this is a real looker), I much prefer the ergonomics of a Precision. Its a really stunning sonic blue (I think, maybe sky blue) with a faded white (ivory coloured) s/p and rosewood board. A few minor indentations here and there but none through to wood and most barely noticeable. Wearing very skinny, low tension Thomastik Jazz Rounds so the truss rod will need a tweak if you swap for medium/higher tension strings, Serial number of A plus six digits appears to date it to 1997-8. No hard case but will be well packed. For pics see here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/127704-jazz/page__view__findpost__p__1802682"]http://basschat.co.u...ost__p__1802682[/url] Nitty gritty: £499 posted or £485 collected in London. No trades thanks.

Incidentally, would be happy to do a payment plan for those I have done biz with previously*, eg, 50% upfront (say £210 including postage) with the balance over 1-3 months Edit: * this also applies to anyone with a long track record of good feedback or even a moderator!
