I am giving away a 2x10" lighweigt bass cabinet (8 Ohm) from Euphonic Audio. Originally equipped with two EA Neodymium 10" speakers, one of the speakers had been replaced before I purchased it. Now that replacement speaker is broken (distorting).

I have two more cabs plus not enough space, so I really would like to get rid of it asap. I don't want to charge any money, but it will have to be collected from London W11. I am sure there are people out there who are willing to repair and use it.

So, if you are interested in a really solid, lightweight cabinet, which you'd like to put hands on and it equip with at least one replacement speaker (maybe best to replace both so they are matched), this is your opportunity.

Happy 30th Anniversary to Marleaux Bass Guitars

So on your bass did you have the passive switch added but didn't change the pickup or do anything else electronically to compensate for volume?

 

I know the Joe Dart bass is passive (love him) but I assumed, or at least suspected, that they used a different pickup that was a lot hotter than they'd use with their active basses.

To be honest I don't dislike the sound of my bass as it is in any way, it's just that I have only ever used the EQ because it's there but prefer to have it set flat so it seems a bit redundant having an active bass (and having to worry about battery life) when I don't use any of the activeness.

yes, it is a simple added switch. There is hardly any volume change between just the pickup and the added active  electronis. With both of the EQ controls full up (particularily the bass, because that's boosting the output) the active is slightly louder than just the pickup, so I roll off the volume a notch to match both sounds (active and passive) and it works great. 
 

I honestly don't know unfortunately how much Ernie Ball has changed the pickups ever since the 80s and also not about te Joe Dart signature bass. It might be just a stock StingRay pickup, it might be slightly hotter. If I ever get a chance, it would be interesting to A/B compare my bass with the Joe Dart... but I doubt that will ever happen.

I have to add, that if I roll off both EQ controls on my bass by 50%, the sound almost 100% matches the passive sound

I'd like to make my Stingray passive since I wouldn't miss the EQ at all and it's a minor annoyance having to unplug it after each play to save batteries.

I'd have thought it would be too quiet to be useful when bypassed though - how do you make it loud enough without the preamp?

As you can see/hear in my video, the volume difference between active and passive is marginal. The pickup itself has quite a high output. In the video when switching between active and passive I only had to roll off the volume a tiny bit to make both sounds equally loud, but also depends on the setting of the EQ while active. You could try and have a bypass switch installed like I did. However, this is an early 80s model. I am not sure if they significantly changed the pickup since then. It worked perfect for my bass.

Hello dear bass community,

on my first attempt to create some youtube content with halfway valuable information, I created this topic. 

I had my early 80's StingRay customized with a passive bypass switch back in the 90s and never regretted it.

What are your thoughts?

Sorry, sold long time ago

One of the best bass amps ever made. Had a few opportunities to play it. Always amazing. Someone get me a rock'n roll world tour and I'll buy it - alongside two 4x12" original Marshall bass cabs from the same series, which are also brilliant. Really hard to understand why this amp has never made it into the ranks of SVT's or Hiwatt 200s popularity, it's a killer.

Good luck with the sale.

Hi,

is your EA combo still available?

best regards from London

The bass is in absolute mint condition, as if it would be brand new. Not a single scratch or bump anywhere. It is a beautiful, responsive and clear sounding instrument. A really lovely bass, if you are looking for a quality 5-string Jazz Bass, that actually sounds like a very good Jazz-Bass. I had this bass retrofit with the Xotic HRI (Hum Reduction Inductor). Since the pickups are single coil, they do pick up a lot of noise, when not used in middle position. But especially the neck pickup sounds freaking amazing just by itself, so I decided to dig into the pocket and get the optional hum reduction circuit installed (200.-£). It can be acrtivated/deactivated via push/pull of the passive tone control and it works absolutely perfect, completely hum free without any loss in sonic quality.

Comes with a hardshell case by Hiscox

The bass can be viewed and tried at the London Bass Gallery in Camden. All business will be dealt with by them respectively. Price (1,800.00 £) is non negotiable and absolutely no trades. The only reason why I am selling it, is that I have too many basses already and it never gets the attention it deserves.

I'd love this but it's far too expensive for me 😥
[/quote]

I know, but I really can't settle for much less. It was a very expensive combo,mbut the features are by far exceeding what most other combos offer. It is quite special and probably has to wait for THAT right one to come by and buy it who is specifically looking for these features in a combo amp.

The Stick Bass has been sold

Selling an 8-String Stick Bass (SB-8)
Ser. No. 1722
Wood: Padauk with white pearl inlays
Pickup EMG "the Block"
Date of manufacture: 2000
Condiition: mint condition, like new
additional accessories: Hardshell Case, Shoulderstrap, adjustment tools, 3 sets of original spare strings
Special Featurea: Trussrod, Neck adjustable
Price: 1,250 GBP

I bought this instrument with high ambitions from Emmett Chapman, but never really found the time to play it. Apart from very few studio recordings and three live performances, this Stick Bass has always been safely stored in the hardshell case. As you can see in the pictures, it's condition is like brand new, no scratches, no signs of use. It even still has the original strings and they sound like brand new. In addition I have three new sets of replacement strings, which I bought together with the instrument back then. The buyer will also receive the original papers and the keys for the hardshell case locks.

The only item not included anymore is the original TRS/Stereosplit Cable, but that one was not very good anyway. I played the Stick in Mono mode (which is also possible) and was very happy with the results.

After these many years of keeping the treasure I think it is time to pass it on to someone who really wants to use it.
