  1. Yeah, great amps - I had one at one point. Really like it, but have got that GAS itch to try something different (probably to end up foolishly selling to buy a Magellan again at some point 😂).
  2. The Blackstar Unity is probably in pole position at the moment, good price too. Anyone got any experience of these? Any negatives?
  3. Yes, I was looking at them earlier. I wonder how they compare to the OTB.
  4. Interesting idea, never really thought about this.
  5. Well it's that time to get your popcorn out and ride into subjective city with the cries for 'try before you buy ' yada, yada......my apologies but it's really one of those threads 🤣 Bass amps -what to get? A new one is going to be on the cards within the next 2 months or so with my saved musical funds and 90% wanting to buy new for the warranty. At present I play a bit of an eclectic mix of prog, folk, some modern blues/funk, and likely to be some good old school ska and rocksteady reggae in the new year, i also dep some soul and rock bands on occasion. My current rig is a Markbass LM800 with a MB 2x10 and 1x15". The LM800 is a bit high mileaged, scratchy and some weird noises going on and I also have one of those Bugera BV tube heads which is also well used with a few odd random noises going on. I am thinking of getting something a bit different next so was initially drawn to the Markbass Vintage, never tired one -would really welcome any users views on these. Also the Blackstar unity 700 has just come on my radar, looks a really versatile bit of kit and would welcome any thoughts around these sound wise . The Aguilar TH500 has always intrigued me to and did try one briefly some years back but can't remember a lot about it now. I've also wondered about these new names to me Eich, Tech 21,TecAmp etc too - any views/advice? For reference past favourites have been the Eden WT series, Orange Terror amps and i had a Genzler magellan for a while which was nice, also had a Carvin BX which i remember was super versatile. Fancy something different though now. So any view on the above, gladly welcome, and yes i've done Google, TB and Youtube etc, still no particular favourites stand out -perhaps the Blackstar a bit. Are there any others i should consider out there??..., if you've read this far, Merry Christmas and thanks for any thoughts, advice etc...otherwise enjoy the popcorn
  6. ‘At last’, my SIRE V7 maybe finally arriving tomorrow after a 3 month wait 🤞

      Haha, that’ll teach me not to check my status messages properly. It was a typo …should have read At last 😂😂😂😂.

      Anyhow, the important bit - I’ve had the change of pickguard for 2 months now. Loving it 😊 image.thumb.jpg.1003fcd8380726f3fc5696ada7684fa9.jpg

      Congrats! I've still got ~2 months to wait for mine (according to Thomann anyway...)

  7. Price drop to £150 each, happy to courier at buyers risk and if buyer arranges. So, I have these two Hartke 1x12” cabs for sale, barely used and great sounding cabs - warm tone but with great definition. You’ll note the differing grills but they’re essentially the same model, the HD being the newer model. 300watts, typical great punchy Hartke tones, both also have Roqsolid covers. Best of all - they can be used in either 8 or 4 ohm modes with a handy switch on the rear, so get the best from your amp! They are also nice and light being a one hand carry. I’ve really liked the tone from these but I have accumulated way too many cabs at present and could do with the space. Specs from Hartke: http://www.samsontech.com/hartke/products/cabinets/hydrive-cabinets/hx112/ Collect from Plymouth or to happy to support with courier if the buyer arranges. Reduced from 200 to £150 each, happy to do a deal on both. May trade cash either way for a Markbass traveller 2x10” 8 ohm or another bass head.
  8. Thinking about parting with my Hartke HX 12” cabs - I have two. Great cabs and have a 4 & 8 ohm switch which is very handy. Nice and light and a good right sound to them. PM me if interested.
  9. There’s a Markbass 801 on Facebook for sale (my apols if it’s here too, haven’t checked), anyhow they’re great mini amps. I use mine with an acoustic duo and percussionist live and it’s never over half way on the volume. Great little amps.
  10. SOLD Doh! Meant to get standards but ordered short scale by mistake. Brand new, unused. Think I paid £34 - yours £25 posted (UK)
  11. Yes, probably the first active, bar my Stingray Special, that I've really got on with - really nails that P sound.
  12. Bass and treble, works really good - Sandberg pre i believe.
  13. Never say never - i should be getting the cash in but i am weak. Don't need another P though, thanks
  14. Selling this lovely Sandberg Electra bass as its not really had a look in since the purchase of a 1974 Precision 6 months ago, which is a shame as this bass really is a cracker that needs to be played, plus i have a new jazz coming in so probably could do with the space. This really is a fantastic top quality bass that really took be by surprise just how good it actually is. Of course it is also in the best P colour combo of 'black & maple', bought new 2020, it has a really smooth 37mm jazz width neck which is one of the best necks I've ever played -think it was this that really struck me. A bonus is it's nice and light too @ 8.2lbs on my luggage scales, low action with no buzz, zero fret, 2 band EQ preamp - giving a nice combination of vintage and modern sounds, overall excellent mint condition and never gigged - someone will be very happy. IMO leagues ahead of the competition at this price point. It will be sold as standard, Sandberg pick up and tuner returned, however there are the various upgrade options: Selling £450 as standard or: I can leave the Aguilar pickup in (to be honest there is little difference between this and the original Sandberg pickup - the original is really good, but then everyone loves an Aguilar) - extra £50 Hipshot D tuner Xtender- extra £40, otherwise the original tuner will be fitted. Comfort strap - extra £20 Deluxe Cobra gig bag, loads of pockets - extra £30. Courier in the UK £20, anymore and I'll cover the cost. Will be boxed and well packed by the legendary Mrs Raslee (see my feedback) or happy for it to be collected from Plymouth, Devon.
