Way tooo much stuff! something has to go

SOLD
<Fully flight-cased cab (see the pics) 15" + horn

I bought this not long ago on 'bay from a real gentleman bass player

unfortunately it won't sit comfortably in my car (i know... i know... get a bigger car! ... not an option where i live

so, regretably, i'm offering it it here first

great sound, incredibly 'LOUD' ! - the horn can be attenuated to give less 'top' if you wish (it can produce a lot of top end!)>


but still available
Carlsbro STINGRAY amp ( i know - its a guitar amp - but it does work with a bass)
built in distortion too... they call it 'suzz' i think!
backup amp? leave it at your rehearsal room??

£60 to start negotiation....


SOLD
<second option
cab plus Behringer BX4500H - as new - boxed with all instructions / paperwork etc
450w plus the extras / Ultrabass subharmonics / Shape filter / 5-band EQ / Bright and Deep buttons /l limiter / VU meter
complete with footswitch etc etc>

prefer to sell but happy to consider trades....

also...
still trying to sell or trade

[quote name='Alfie' post='1028054' date='Nov 18 2010, 03:38 PM']I would love this to partner my 1996 surf green MIJ P bass, if only I had the time and money to restore it to its original state.

When were the MIJs last offered in custom colours? Was it a special 50th anniversary year thing?[/quote]

kind soul emailed me to say the pastel shades disappeared when it went to CIJ as opposed to MIJ - ie '97 - on

(I'm learning a whole new load of 'stuff' today!)

[quote name='andy67' post='1027743' date='Nov 18 2010, 11:10 AM']I would hazard a guess that these were the original ashtray holes filled in and the visible screw holes are for a new bridge cover - only a guess mind...

you're spot on -- thanks andy
roger

[quote name='spinynorman' post='1027511' date='Nov 18 2010, 12:44 AM']I was convinced that would be a "lawsuit" copy till I saw the MIJ on the neck. Just puzzled now why you don't say Fender anywhere in the description.[/quote]

you're so right.... I can't believe i did that !! - of course its a genuine Fender!!

does anyone know the 'official' name for this colour??
thx

Don't want to do it but as no-one wants my Bassman 135 !

Here's my heavily modded Fender Japanese Precision.
Its the 50th Anniversary model (thats the Fender anniversary in '96)

Not sure what the body colour is called but its (sort of) salmon pink (ish)

added <<<<< thanks for the info .... apparently its 'Shell Pink' >>>>>>>

All hardware is black and includes

scratchplate

badass bridge

tuners / machine heads - including drop-D

black volume & tone knobs / nut / string tree / strap knobs

EMGs fitted (black - of course )

there are holes in the body and the scratchplate for pickup & bridge covers (i still play with he pickup cover on!) and also for the thumbrest

(could probably find a thumbrest if you wanted - any colour you like - as long as its black )

neck is maple with a gorgeous grain running through it
the holes for the original tuners can be seen in the headstock but they have been filled

there are 2 small dings on the top edge of the body and one on the bottom... annoying when these things happen!

thats what it looks like - its set up the way i like and sounds great - i know not everyone likes EMGs but being able to change tone quickly and easily without major changes in volume as happens with a 'normal' active configuration suits the stuff i do

I know its not 'original' and i've had some valued comments about that but heck, these are 'tools' that we use to express ourselves and this is a 'player' and not an ornament but....

if there's no genuine interest then i will try and revert it back to something like its 'original' state - but with a couple of extra holes in the body !

thanks for looking... & as with anything personal like a bass you're very welcome to come down to Dorset and check it out to see if it suits you (sir)...

price? how about starting negotiations at £525 ?

trades? .... hmmm...... i do have a hankering for a Jaguar bass & fancy trying one of the TC RH 450's ......

gone to a caring home.......

hmmm.... not a lot of interest either cash or trade....

a last bump before it goes to 'bay

[quote name='Schnozzalee' post='1003922' date='Oct 28 2010, 03:50 PM']Get 'B' Tattooed on your thumb n keep it [/quote]

[quote name='LowLife' post='1003916' date='Oct 28 2010, 03:47 PM']Are you interested in a trade for a 4-stringer? I have a Yamaha RBX200 fitted with EMG active pickup/electronics, in very nice condition.[/quote]

hmmm.... thinking on that - mainly for the EMG pu..... i'll get back to you
but thanks anyway
roger

OK...... my brief sojourn into the underworld of the low B is over.

Only got 4 fingers on my left hand and they already have 'E', 'A', 'D', & 'G' tatooed on them so.....

Here is my Yamaha BB-N5 5-string on offer

Ideal to see if 5 is for you or not without breaking the bank

Overall pretty good nick - see the pics - and a reasonable action too

Could probably do with a new set of strings - I've never changed them!

Serial number looks like LI07210 and the Yamaha site says it was made on February 7th in 2005 or 1995 or 1985 or 1975..... as they repeat every 10 years!
my guess is 1995

The Harmony Central reviews are generally very favourable

Start to negotiate at £140? could put it in a hard case for an extra tenner..... or maybe trade for anything interesting? (don't be offended if i say no tho' !)

welcome to come and try if you're round this way (Poole - South Coast)

Thanks for looking and if you're interested - get in touch!

[quote name='Bassnut62' post='990065' date='Oct 16 2010, 11:54 AM']As well as bracing these old Bassman cabs, i.e. front to back struts; it is well worth lining all the joints with 1"x1" wood with glue and proper counter-sunk wood screws. This helps seal the cab properly and enables the speakers to push serious amounts of air out without losing it through the cab's seams. This also helps prevent farting, which I've found to be a praticular problem when playing bass loudly through un-modified Bassman cabs. Alternatively, eat less beans! Boom Boom![/quote]

sincere thanks for that bassnut62!
how to make it sound really, really good to go with the looks!

the cab....
didn't know what speakers were in it till i took the front off
looked up a bit more about the cab and it seems that, with just a little bit of extra bracing it can be made to sound as good as it looks!
(not that it sounds at all bad at the moment !

am in discussion about the amp - so the cab *may* be available on its own... offers? trades?
(will confirm)

which model eminence?? - i thought they were suited to 'compact' cabs too? or am i wrong again??
roger

hmmm... guess would consider splitting.... !!

still a newcomer at this..... so if i should breach any etiquette - forgive me and let me know (politely please )

look what I found! - a Bassman cab to complement the amp!



the amp....
Its been a workhorse and has the scars to prove it - serial is F0 plus 5 digits so I believe that makes it '80 and, by the looks of it, has spent many of those years being thrown in the backs of transit vans

the plate is Silver (face) but, again, I think that is meaningless with the 135's as they were all silver except for some *later* models (80.. on) which had the Black(face) but were only cosmetically different - the insides were the same
(thats what i was told anyway - and i believe everything i'm told......)

the technical bit..
its got 4 big valves and 3 little ones....


Its no good asking if its original / what are the valves / have bits been changed - all i've done is turned it on, plugged in and played
i've had it several years and its not been serviced, no valves have been changed whilst i've had it - its just worked and pumped out that classic Bassman sound through a variety of cabs
Could be recovered I guess - but that would hide the stories it could tell

the cab
Its a Bassman 100 - big, but has sturdy castors and heavy duty handles fitted
and....
the original speakers have been replaced with Celestion BN15-300X ' s (300W Neo magnet - just read what they say about these on the web) - so its nowhere near as heavy as the original

I don't think these cabs are as efficient as modern day designs - but these speakers sound good and just see how the rig looks!!

looking for £600 cash but negotiable for trades (quality bass ?? old bass??)

If you fancy a trip to the South Coast then come and try it - could probably find coffee or a beer

(sorry about delay in response - on holiday!!!)

PM'd

[quote name='Huggy and the Bears' post='972934' date='Sep 30 2010, 05:11 PM']I've got one too... Actually it was my dad's. He bough a new blonde/blackface (that sounds wrong!) amp and cab in '65 and upgraded to a new fangled black one in the 70's with 2x15 cab. Got me into shape moving it for him when I was kid! After he died I started using it and it will stay with me forever. Good luck with the sale![/quote]


hmmm... just imagining it with that 2x15 cab !! ....

[quote name='Matty' post='967222' date='Sep 24 2010, 10:48 PM']Still not interested in my P-Bass?[/quote]

hello matty... be a fool not be..... but do i really need another p-bass when i have a '62, a gorgeous japanese Tokai hard puncher, a heavily modded squier, and an SQ precision ! course i'm interested! but...
just trying to finalise a sale to a chap in belgium and hoping it goes through ok - it'll give me some cash!
cheers again

roger

[quote name='Bassnut62' post='966133' date='Sep 23 2010, 09:25 PM']WHAT!!!! This amp hasn't sold already?!!!
Are you all mad?
this is the best bass sound money can buy and Rogerds is mugging himself for you.
You don't even have to hit him over the head to take his fine fine amp!

Have another free bump on me, Rog![/quote]

appreciated '62 - i thought i'd priced it to go the first day! now i may *have* to let it go to the dark side and see if there's any interest in the (ahem!) guitar forum... or just let it slide down the list for a couple of months then see if anyone wants a christmas prezzie!
looks like you have the bassman 15 cab? - now the two together look and sound great - there's one (cab) going locally.... hmmm... am i tempted?? of course not!!!
