  2. ...only a one day to go till open the sale up to the masses on those 'other' sale sites...Saturday/Sunday deadline
  3. sorry....a little too far from the south coast....but you're more than welcome to drive down here...of course.....
  4. still available .....i'll give it another week then its off to those 'other' websites......your missing a 'true' bargain here
  5. still available ....i'll give it another week and then its off to those 'other' sale sites......older bas, matured sound = bargain for the package offered
  6. This is a great beginners upright to start developing your technique - ideal for quiet gigs, local drama groups performing 'The Merry Widow', 'Oklahoma', etc, Jazz gigs - its got that nice 'growl' to it when needed, quiet pop/acoustic gigs ... and looks the part - you'll get even more gigs - ideal for the bass guitarist who wants to venture down this pathway with a view to expanding their skills and technique. Its the one you have been promising yourself - the one you have threatened to buy and not tell the missus - but its too big to slide past her (its ok, we all do it - ha ha)....ideal to start your d/bass career on - as said further up, i've had it for 23 years and will be sad to see it go - I've just come into some money and found the right bass at the right time/price and decided to upgrade.....over to you.....
  7. Serious enquiry received - cab & spks now pending
  8. need to clear this - open to offers....
  9. ...just to reasure you - the crack on the back of the neck, in the last photo, has been there before I purchased the bass over 23 years ago and does not affected the playing, tuning, action, etc
  10. [center][b]1960s upright ¾ d/bass[/b][/center] I bought this bass in the early 1990s from a old boy in York. I got as far as Grade 5 ARBSM and have enjoyed playing this ply upright ever since. I have busked, played classical, acoustic pop and Jazz on this and it has never let me down. There are the usual scuffs and marks on it and it has a lovely resonance and projects well. The old boy I bought it off told me of an accident it had in the late 1960s and a foot went through the rear of the bass – (see photo). It was all repaired then and no issues have occurred since. There is also what looks like a surface split on the neck– (see photo). I have decided to upgrade my instrument, and the newer one has arrived, so this is now surplus to requirements. The bass comes with a cover, bow, rosin, a spare set of strings and is all set to practice on and gig. The action is quite low (but adjustable) – I have tried to show this in the side photo of the bridge. (no pick-up offered) - So buy with confidence. I am more than happy for you to come over and try the bass – collection only. I am based in the middle of Chichester, West Sussex….er, near Bogor Regis….Cash would be best Any questions or more photos wanted, then please ask and I will do my best.

  11. ...this cab will cost you £619.00 new (made in China) and not a patch on this one....there are several at £400.00 + on eBay but a bit tatty.....once you hear this you'll kick yourself....a good deal here
  12. ....and all that New Years Eve gig money you're earning couldn't be put to a better 4 x10 Ampeg cab....IMHO of course...but true....
  13. Great set up - my first and only one in 1980...and like most bassists, back then, unaware of what I had and traded it in for a Trace Elliot 1110 combo in 1984....missed the sound = excellent...GLWTS
  14. sorry - just to clarify things - yes, it is the american cab Apart from the one mark shown in the pic above I am not aware of any others Reason for selling - at 54, although its got excellent wheels and the roll bar, I have to given into natures way of telling me to move with my age and sadly part company with the cab.....
  15. Hi Dan - both its the american cab
  16. Excellent move....many years ago I found myself in Texas and popped into several music/bass shops....when they discovered I was english and a bass player using Ampeg they asked what spks I had in there....at the time I was a little miffed by the question but I said the stock ones, and they all laughed - basically they said that the americans know that the 'custom' type of spks that are in there are 'just' functional and wipp em out and upgrade them straight away - results as you have found, are a big improvement .....and now your a happy bassist
  17. Hi linchy92...PM me with your 'best' offer
  18. any questions please fire away.......
  19. [center][b]Ampeg 410HLF (4 x10” cab) [/b][/center] [center](the one with the Chrome roll bar and x2 wheels)[/center] £380.00 (including original speakers)….so what do you get - Since I bought this cab second hand 4½ years ago I have worked considerably on it. Apart from the usual - bought a [b]ROQSOID cover[/b], penned in and shoe polished the exterior – (regularly) – its ok, no polish comes off on your hand, and WD’d the ball-bearings in the castors, never used the horn – always turned to zero, I found out years ago how to improve these beasts. · [b]The MDF frame[/b] - which holds the front exterior cloth (and they always seem to split about 1/2 - 2/3rds of the way down), - I had a stronger one [b]made of pine and fitted.[/b] · [b]The clumsy cheap colourful wiring[/b] and electricians plastic block (what, you didn’t realise….) I had taken out and [b]excellent quality speaker cable hand wired, silver soldered, point-to-point[/b]….the speaker response and quality of sound is somewhat very noticeably improved. · I upgraded the original [b]speakers[/b]…(Guitarists hate this part) and the response/depth/clarity of tone is tonnes better. (I kept the original speakers in the boxes of the news ones – all safe and dust/moisture free –with ‘no’ sound scars which speakers often get). So buy with confidence on a stand out Ampeg cab I am more than happy for you to come over and try the cab – in fact it would be so much better if you did for all parties concerned. I am based in the middle of Chichester, West Sussex….er, near Bogor Regis….Cash would be best. [b]NOTE [/b]- The upgraded speakers, were hard-wired (Eminence Legend BP102-4). I can sell you these as well (total 8 x10’’ Spks if you wish) for an extra £100 quid…To buy these spks new would cost you over £250.00 + P&P from ‘Lean Biz’ – there are no sound scars, no issues…nicely run in If you only want the original speakers then let me know. [center]Total[/center] [center]£380.00 with original spks[/center] [center]£480.00 with original & upgraded spks[/center] [center]Pete - 01243 839968[/center]
