    Did the same thing myself back in 2006 after a 25 year gap! If you are well rehearsed it will be like putting on a pair of old slippers and from a few seconds in it will be a blast! Enjoy

    Saturday morning bump. Part-ex against a Shuttle 6.0 would be good

    Prefer outright cash sale but would also entertain a part-ex against a Fender MIA, Sadowsky, or Fender-alike 5 string in black, oly white or 3TS. Depending on model could be cash adjustment from me. Alternatively a part-ex with cash my way for a Genz Shuttle 6.0 (and possibly an Orange Terror Bass, though not so sure as size is important here!)

    [quote name='tino' post='884150' date='Jul 2 2010, 05:00 PM']Typical....you let us buy one for a grand then put yours up[/quote] Yeah, sorry tino. I only decided today after I gave the new arrival Orange valve amp a proper work-out last night. Your is a fetching custom shade of green though, whereas mine is boring black!

    I have gone the big Orange valve amp + Barefaced light cab route (plus looking for an ultra-light backup amp). Thus, wonderful though this is, I am letting go my Mesa Walkabout 112 combo. Its about a year-and-a-half old, in very good condition, and comes with a cover I had custom made to protect it. You know the drill on these. Very loud (so loud I sold on the extension cab as I never needed it), very tube-y sounding, and a one-hand lift (50lbs). Looking for £700 picked up or meet-up in London. Not keen on shipping so will give preference to personal meet-up in London area (I live nr Hammersmith but occasionally drive to work nr Liverpool St). PS, Bass Gallery are listing these at £1,349 special order - ie, this is about half new price [attachment=53391:30062009146.jpg][attachment=53392:30062009147.jpg]

    [quote name='MythSte' post='883533' date='Jul 1 2010, 11:17 PM']The tweeter option is recent so it probably wont be. Shall we leave Finbars thread alone now? ^_^ Congrats anyway!![/quote] Thanks! Well we have succeeded in bumping this FS ad to the top of the page

    [quote name='Raggy' post='883529' date='Jul 1 2010, 11:10 PM']Thinking about it though, if it is just a back up amp, it is what it is. Its just there "in case". Chances are the AD200 will not ever let you down.[/quote] I was thinking too that if its just there "in case", then why not go a cheap and small option - the Genz 3.0 seems to tick most boxes, other than grit and heavy lows, plus its attracting the most votes. One BC'er has one FS at £250 and I'm thing how can I go wrong with this? With any luck the Orange won't fail anyway. Would be peeved to spend £700 on LM Rocker only to never use it!

    [quote name='MythSte' post='883518' date='Jul 1 2010, 10:56 PM']welcome to the club!! Is yours tweetered?[/quote] I'm too scared to take off grill cloth in case I screw something up! There's no dial on the back if thats a clue. I bought if off Doctorbass - he didn't mention a tweeter. However, I thought the Vintage was a 2x15 plain and simple, ie, no tweeter option????

    [quote name='MoonBassAlpha' post='883508' date='Jul 1 2010, 10:45 PM']I can't speak from experience but would think 300W through an efficient 2x15 would be loud enough for most gigs (the Vintage is 4ohms, right?)[/quote] It is 4 ohms, thanks!
  13. Clarky
    I just bought one of these tonight and can attest how amazingly light these cabs are as well as great sounding. Have a bump on me
  14. Clarky
    Just bought a Barefaced Vintage cab off Mark, our second deal. Great cab, just gave it a quick play with my Orange valve amp and sounds wonderful. Great transaction as before. Cheers Mark!

    [quote name='Raggy' post='883125' date='Jul 1 2010, 04:10 PM']That Little Rocker might be what you are after, have not heard one though.[/quote] Looks interesting Raggy but I have yet to read a single proper review of one! Besides I probably need the LM Old Rocker

    [quote name='Beedster' post='883041' date='Jul 1 2010, 03:00 PM']Dude, save the money, get a gig bag with a big pocket and take the Walkabout head as backup like I do. Alternatively buy/get made a flight that'll take both the Orange and the Mesa together.[/quote] I am not as butch as you Chris (dodgy back) and I find the Orange amp quite heavy enough (c.25kg) without a flight case, let alone one also containing a Walkabout! Sorry but thats a non-starter. Plus I really doubt there's a gig bag with a strong enough and big enough pocket for a Walkabout! I want super-light to make my life easier. Appreciate the thoughts though

    [quote name='dannybuoy' post='882915' date='Jul 1 2010, 12:45 PM']GK MB-200 or MB2-500 are the smallest/lightest I know of: [url="http://www.gallien-krueger.com/products_mb.html"]http://www.gallien-krueger.com/products_mb.html[/url] The MB-200 only weighs 1kg if 200w is enough power! The Orange Terror does come with a carry bag though an has the same preamp as the AD200 so I'd still consider it![/quote] I would have had it on the list, Dan, if it meant not carrying separately as my OCD tendencies would like the same brand as back-up!

    [quote name='MoonBassAlpha' post='882940' date='Jul 1 2010, 01:11 PM']I've raised this issue before re. the shuttle 3.0, but I'll happily restate it : when you push the power stage quite hard, it distorts in quite a nice valvey stylee, and it's not at ear bleeding volumes either. This is worth considering, as not all desirable distortion comes from an overdriven front end. It's just that the Genz's transition in to distortion is a lot more musical than traditional s-s amps. I'm sure the 6.0 does it too, but you'd end up playing very loud to get the same effect.[/quote] Thx. Would this cope with being put through a Barefaced 2x15 Vintage cab? Or is it too lacking in power? I need something thats loud enough to deal with a club/pub/small hall sized gig (for which the AD200B is obviously overkill!)
  20. Clarky
    I have just acquired an Orange AD200B amp and am aware that valve amps are sometimes troublesome ... so I want a very small head to carry in gigbag pocket as back-up. I am assuming the SWR Headlite, Genz Shuttle or MarkBass F1 are the smallest but there are others. Which one would you choose in my situation (bearing in mind I prefer a valve pre-amp for some extra warmth/grit and as it saves me having to carry a separate pedal)? I have excluded the Orange Terror Bass as, whilst dinky, it is not quite tiny enough, likewise the Mesa Walkabout head (which I already have in my combo). Yay, poll time!

    [quote name='Happy Jack' post='882821' date='Jul 1 2010, 11:17 AM']Thanks for the review, but along with the neck-dive issue the most frequent comment about T-birds is how damned heavy they are. What does this beastie weigh? As a general rule, I don't believe that ANY review of ANY bass is complete if it fails to give the weight.[/quote] I know its a Gibson, not an Epiphone, but the T'bird I just sold (to BC'er Norris) only weighed 9lbs. It junked the prejudice I had that these are monstrously weighty beasts

    Sniffing paint behind the office? Thats very punk
  25. Clarky
    If someone would buy my fretless '76 Precision, I would buy this and move on my Nash (much though I love the Nash, your Jazz is even nicer and prettier still). Unfortunately the first part of this chain ain't happening
