Loz, you're selling this over one of your fancy dan Alembic collection? Blimey, there's no accounting for taste

Just to be clear regarding the interest I mentioned above, this amp is still available

I bought these strings a week ago as I have been experimenting with strings for my Kolstein travel bass. As solo strings, they are normally tuned A/E/B/F# but are often used by Latin bass players (and by Miroslav Vitous) down-tuned to the standard E/A/D/G as they become quite low tension (similar to Silver Slaps; see tension chart below). After initially feeling great, they loosened up and settled down and I find they are actually a bit too low tension for me (not helped by the fact the Kolstein travel bass has a relatively short scale length of 40", nealry 2" shorter than my full 3/4 flatback bass). I have replaced them with a set of Spiro Weich strings which seem to fit the Kolstein's shorter scale length rather better. So here is a set of strings that cost £138 last week at Stringmail (link below) and are in vgc (very minor fuzzing of silks at peg end - the unavoidable minor fuzzing that comes from installing once). FS at £95 or - preferably - trade for an equally very good condition set of Spiro 3/4 Weich [url="http://www.stringmail.co.uk/dbass.htm"]http://www.stringmail.co.uk/dbass.htm[/url] Spirocore tension chart: [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f17/all-different-spiros-sets-724598/"]http://www.talkbass....os-sets-724598/[/url]

A couple of BCers have already expressed a potential interest here chaps and I'm waiting to hear back. But for the record, its 40cm wide by 34cm deep by 9cm high and I am guessing it weighs just under 20 pounds (similar to the iamp800). In terms of provenance for "the white face" or UK-iamp500s, Ashdown made a run of 100 of these amps for EA around 1995 I believe but it turned out Ashdown were not making money on the deal, hence that was the lot - meaning these are pretty rare beasts. As for the fans they are very unobtrusive, unlike say a Mesa Walkabout which sounds like a wind tunnel when played at home volumes!

Also listed in amps section but favoured by some double bass players. Bit too many EQ controls for me and a little on the large size compared to my usual micro amp fare! £270 posted for 500W of quality tone [attachment=122998:ea1.jpg][attachment=122999:ea2.jpg]

Bought a few weeks ago on the forum, one of the rare Euphonic Audio "white face" iamp500s that were briefly made for EA by Ashdown in the 1990s. Its in very good condition (just missing one adhesive rubber foot which I'm sure is easy to replace for pennies) and in perfect working condition. I bought it due to its excellent reputation as a 'doubling' amp (for DB and electric) but its basically over-specced for me in the EQ department and a bit big for a wuss who has grown used to micro amps! Looking for £270 posted, which is what I paid Here is the previous sale thread with a link to photos - it looks identical as it hasn't left my house since I took ownership [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/189421-sold-pending/page__hl__iamp__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url]

Yes, to me!

I really don't fancy selling on eBay, losing fees, paypal etc so if anyone wants these for £130 posted now's your chance - offer is for tonight only as auction goes into final day tomorrow and then I am not sure if I can withdraw it

Anyone after a set of strings thats I will sell for not much more than half the new price and in superb, virtually unplayed condition? Not after any trades unless you have a spare Plat Pro and a bit of cash on top
