    Used pair of GK RBH 2x10 cabs with horn. 400 watts at 8 ohms. 25 kg/55 lbs each. 11-ply poplar construction with a port at the bottom - no particle board here, so not as lightweight as the NEO cabs but you can drive it hard and it kicks out so much punch. These are the from professional touring grade series of cabs as used by Flea, Tool, and tons of other touring bassists, and are totally bomb-proof but an ok one-hand lift with the handle or two-handed with the flightcase style side handles. I can get two of these and a head in my hatchback. I've used one on its own and as a pair with both a 300 watt valve head and an 800 watt solid state head and they've never struggled and always performed perfectly. I also used one on its own with a TC BH250 head for a year or so to great effect in big and small venues DI'd - they really are great little cabs with so much punch and they throw sound out like nothing else i've tried. The clever shape means that you can stack them horizontally, vertically or tilt one back to point up at you as a monitor which is great for tight venues or bigger stages when you can DI. They also feature the GK biamp system allowing you to use separate power amps for the horn and woofers (you need a specific 4-core speaker cable for this). The horn can be attenuated all the way down if necessary. I've never even used the horn as the 10 inch drivers have all the treble i need with a stingray. Why am i selling them? Because i've joined a "heavy band" and I need more speakers! I'm looking for one to two 8 ohm 4x10s ideally, maybe Ampeg, SWR, Mesa but open to other options. Contact me if you're interested in both but will split. £200 each or £400 the pair. (Traynor head in pics obv not included.) I'm down in St Agnes in Cornwall but I can pack them up and ship at cost no problem or you can collect from Bath, although you may have to wait a bit for me to get them up there. rbh-owners-manual.pdf

    Original Warwick gig bag from the 1990s. Nice to have the right gig bag that came with the bass. Came with a Streamer but it'll fit any other 34" bass that's normal width at the lower bout, i.e. up to 13 1/2 inch, Thumb, Precision, Jazz, Stingray, etc. All zips and clips working. It's been used but not abused. I can post it for a £7.50.

    Bought a Sansamp GED2112 from Ryan and the transaction was smooth and I love the preamp. Thanks so much!

    I'm moving to a rack based system so I'm selling this fantastic pedal. Great Ampeg clone tone from these industry-standard pedals and some awesome extra features like speaker cabinet simulation circuit for use as a DI, +10 dB level boost switch for use with power amps (nice touch), -20 dB cut on XLR if the DI signal is too hot for the desk, phantom power and ground connect switch (another nice touch!) and Bite switch for added top end sizzle. As you turn the character knob clockwise, you go from 70s SVT, through B15 flip-top all the way to modern razor fuzz with the knob turned all the way up. This control coupled with the drive control allows you to dial in anything from a touch of added tube warmth to all out sonic warfare! The blend control allows you to mix the original bass signal with the effected Sansamp tone and an active 3 band EQ adds the finishing touch to your tone. Excellent condition. 9V 500mA included. Check out the Tech 21 website for sound clips, operating manual and full specs. Postage fully insured for £10.

    This is an awesome pedal with so many great features incorporating the actual preamp circuit from the SVT amp with the classic EQ and ultra low and ultra high switches. The pedal also has the Scrambler overdrive circuit with the essential blend control so you can blend the overdriven sound with the original bass sound. The preamp also doubles as a practice amp and in-ear or headphone amp with aux in on quarter inch and mini jack with level control and a mini jack headphone out. So you can plug your phone into the pedal and practice in silence. The sound quality of the headphone amp is absolutely fantastic too - massive bottom end. It's a great live pedal too with a lovely sounding DI out with ground lift and there's a -15dB input pad using an internal jumper for hot basses. Bizarrely they don't come with a power supply and eat through batteries, so I bought a new 12V 500 mA power supply for £20 as recommended by Polar Audio who distribute Ampeg which suits the pedal really well and gives it noticeably more headroom than with a 9V. I've used the pedal on stage as a preamp in front of my valve head and DI'd to the desk, as a recording preamp DI'd to an interface monitoring the track on headphones through the pedal and as a practice amp and it genuinely excels each time. I've been totally satisfied with the tone of the SCR DI and it certainly gets pretty darn close to the on-the-edge sound of an cranked SVT, then with the scrambler engaged you can get pretty savage drive out of it too. It's housed in a heavy-duty metal enclosure and feels totally solid under foot. Excellent condition and comes with power supply and original packaging. Manual available at http://www.ampeg.com/pdf/manuals/SCR-DI_OM.pdf Can post for £10 fully insured.

    Bought an SWR Stereo 800 power amp from Chris. Excellent transaction all round. Cheers

    Bought a Sansamp VT Bass DI from Darren - it's a sweet pedal and it was a very smooth transaction. Cheers

    André bought my Traynor DB800 head and was incredibly understanding when it was damaged in transit. He replaced a valve and fan and was totally ace about the whole thing. Nice one dude!

    Please leave feedback from sales or purchases for me on here Cheers Simon

    I've tried D'addario and Ernie Ball nickel wound 45-105 and I certainly have enough 'grunt'! Although I've never tried DR strings...

    Thanks for the positive comments guys. I totally agree - awesome basses - wish i could keep it but needs must. Basically a Stingray Classic with a textured finish and a black neck for under £500 - what more could you ask?!

    Very nice

    Excellent example of these much sought-after basses manufactured in the San Luis Obispo factory in California, USA. Launched in 2003 featuring a solid poplar slab body (instead of ash) and a more economical textured finish with a black painted maple neck but the same hardware, pickup and 2-band active circuit as the Stingray, they were famously discontinued in 2005 after they proved so popular that sales of the Stingray were starting to fall. This one is in fantastic condition and sounds great both acoustically and plugged in. Really resonant with great sustain and that classic 2-band growl when you dig in at the bridge. It has a little nick out the the top of the headstock and another on the back lower bout near the battery compartment (see pics). Feels as solid as a rock and never goes out of tune. The textured blue finish is really nice as it's started to go a bit green like an old Lake Placid Blue Fender - looks so sweet and you can see the original blue under the guard! I changed the pickguard for a three ply gloss black (original thin diamond plate guard included). I'm down in St Agnes in Cornwall but I can easily get the bass up to my parents' house near Bath if that's easier. Currently has a cheapo Stagg gig bag. Shipping is certainly possible - it'd be best to take the neck off, then pack it along with the body. That way, there's absolutely no risk of damage in transit.

    A beauty - would look so nice next to my Blue 4 string USA Sub. Good luck with the sale!

    Hey Rich - I'm down in Cornwall but I could get it to Bath today if needs be or I'm happy to ship it to you. It's in a flightcase and i've got the original box which is solid.
