    I have a spare and slightly used Hipshot Ex-Tender going for £30 includes UK postage. Finished in Chrome. For the E string peg with the flip lever to detune down to D whilst playing and back up again if your quick enough! I think this is the HE6c model with clover leaf tuner head. The outer sleeve hexagonal head that ultimately tightens the tuner in place from the front of the headstock is about 1/2" wide.

    [quote name='theheed' post='59756' date='Sep 13 2007, 10:48 AM']I'm in the process of trying to put together a second hand (or pre-loved) rig which will I will use in 2 different bands so needs to be completely portable - ie bass gig bag on my back, head in one hand and cab in the other. On crowded London transport. I've been hiring a Hartke 3500 and a 4x10 which has been more than loud enough for every gig we've done so far, so ideally need something with similar punch - but the portability outlined above. I've pretty much settled on Markbass - from what I've tried in the Bass centre and GAK (a Jeff Berlin) - I love the tone and was impressed by the output - IMO tighter and with more clarity and volume than a lot of 4x10s I've hired in the past. I've ruled out a 1x12 combo. as I think it may 'fart' at the volumes needed. So at the moment I'm wathcing a Little Mark II on ebay and may bid on that if it doesn't go daft in the last few minutes! Then I need to track down a cab. I want a Traveler. But the 2x10 or the 1x15? So Markbass users out there I need your opinions. How do they compare in tone and output? I suspect that the 2x10 may stay tighter but less 'in your chest' deep as the volume goes up. I know the Jeff Berlin had the depth but will it start farting if I use it over half volume? (As a rule we only fart in out band if the audience request it and the venue has the required ventilation.) Any view are welcome. Cheers Andy[/quote] Check the new Mark Bass SINGLE unit amplifier that still gives a ton of power into 4 ohms (two of their cabs). I believe there is or will be a mid sized Mark Bass 2x10 with a single FRONT port. I run the larger 2x10 and the Traveller 2x10 (off a Mark Bass 2 channel LMK). In case you didn't know, the larger has 2 front ports top and bottom, the Traveller a single rear port and is much smaller in height and not as deep.The larger cab has more bass end than the traveller. I think both cabs are brilliant and feel the newer "mid sized" cab will have the best of both worlds. Remember that their amps have a really good eq section so gaining more bass should not be a problem. It will all come down to volume needed in the end. Good luck.

    [quote name='owen' post='55317' date='Sep 4 2007, 03:09 PM']I have a friend who needs to hire a double bass for a couple of weeks for a jazz band he is road managing. I know that there are hire companies such as Matt Snowball etc but he has tried them and the bassist in question was not loving it. Any suggestions as to other sources for a nicer instrument to hire? Ta, like.[/quote] Footes in London, (Golden Square) may be able to help you along.

    [quote name='Hit&Run' post='50932' date='Aug 26 2007, 02:56 PM']I've got one of these cabs and it's well versatile. Using it alone or with a 15" cab it offers loads of power and useable sounds. Then there's the legendary peavey bombproof construction![/quote] Yes, a pretty cab all round really and as you say, "peavey bombproof". cheers

    [attachment=1898:Peavey_210.JPG]£90 plus postage but pickup or meeting most possible and you are most welcome to try out the cabinet. ( I am based on the Surrey / Hants borders not far from the main A3 road). This is the Peavey 2x10" TX model with attenuable horn which I never use. No major dings or bashes and in very acceptable condition. Usual Peavey power specs. I had two new Peavey speakers put in a couple of years ago and it has since been stored due to new Mark Bass gear. I owned the cab from new. The TX was the older style and slightly less deep cabinet than later cabs. I actually preferred the more woody sound of this cab to Peavey's later designs. It sounds excellent as a stand alone and even better on top a 15" or another 10" array cabinet. Please note as in most Peavey cabs, this is a 4 OHM cabinet so check connecting to amplifiers for impedance values.

    [quote name='urb' post='47117' date='Aug 18 2007, 12:37 PM']Hey Guys I can't believe I'm actually selling my EBS stuff but I am - I still love it - it's still great gear - but I have fallen for and acquired an Epifani 502 and it's more the sound I want now. The HD350 head is a simply wicked amp - very powerful, with a hi-fi sound, suitable for funk, rock, jazz and just about anything in between - Marcus Miller likes to use two of them at once, because he can, and his tone says it all. Anyway they are very conservatively rated at 350 watts - this sound more like 450 or 500. It can drive two cabs at once so with a 2x10 and 1x15 you will have a very fat sound. The amp am selling is approximately 3 and half years old, I have gigged it a fair bit - not loads. but it's still in great condition, with minor nicks on the paintwork, but it still looks great. The fan has a bit of dust in it simply from use; this is not a problem when in use. I have never experienced any problems with this amp, live or in rehearsal, it's incredibly reliable and utterly consistent - and it's so powerful I have rarely needed to turn the volume more than half way up - it cuts through and has a ton of punch. It's a relatively lightweight amp as well for the sheer power that it packs. There's loads more info here [url="http://www.bassemporium.com/item.php?sku=HD350"]on the EBS site[/url]. but I particularly love the inbuilt compressor as it's so subtle and effective it's one of the best things about the design - the sweepable-EQ is great as well, so is the Drive facility for some serious rocking edge. You also get an incredible snap with the 'Bright' knob that is heaven for any serious slappers out there. I'm looking to get £450 GBP or a near offer - I'm based in London so it'd be great if there's a BC'er out there in need of a kick ass new amp based in London. I'd obviously have to charge shipping for anywhere else in the country but I'd estimate that'd be around £25. [attachment=1818:hd350_front.jpg] [attachment=1819:hd350_back.jpg] [attachment=1820:hd350_close.jpg] Last but not least I'm also offering two EBS Black Label pedals - a Dyna Verb and Unichorus. IThey are all in good working order and still have their original boxes. I simply don-t use them and want to get rid of them for something else - they are superb pedals and among the best on the market IMO. I'm looking for £70 each (they all retail around £150) or 120 for the two together, I'll through in a daisy chain and the EBS connectors for free. [attachment=1821:pedals_boxed.jpg] [attachment=1822:blacklabel_pedals.jpg] In the unlike event one of you wants the amp and the pedals - I'll do you the lot for £550 - new this would cost you £1160. [attachment=1823:hd350_pedals.jpg] Please PM me for more info and/or to give me a call (I'll PM you my number) if you have any further questions. Thanks for reading. Mike[/quote] Very intersted in the Dyna Verb and even the chorus too. Still available?

    [quote name='silverfoxnik' post='25579' date='Jul 1 2007, 12:50 PM']Hi Folks, I've been using a Hughes & Kettner 4 x 10 that I bought from The Wigfinder General for a year now and it sounds great to me..It weighs a ton but that's worth it because it fills the room and can take anything you throw at it! But the guys in my band want me to use something smaller on stage because of all the usual space issues at pub gigs etc, etc. So, I've been trying out my GK Backline 2 x 10 cab, but to my ears, it just doesn't have the depth to it that I like. Would a 2 x 12 cab be a good way to go or is this just a case of me buying the right brand of 2 x 10 or re-adjusting my ears to a different, smaller sound??? I've even been looking at buying a 1 x 15 combo like the GK 700RB that's on sale here at the moment but am undecided what to do at the moment, so any advice much appreciated! Cheers Nik[/quote] Have a look at the Mark Bass 2x10", the one with TWO front ports which is the larger 2x10. It has a lot of bottom end capacity, power handling and is 8 ohm so you could always add another 8 ohm cab. I use one of these as well with the smaller 2x10" Mark Bass Traveller cab. Big sound with both cabs running, and light weight.

    £90. This little beauty is still up for sale. Peavey 2x10" with horn, in VG cond. Usual Peavey specs. It has two new peavey speakers and is the older style cab size which is about 2" less deep. Unless you really need/want the highest quality cabinet of this size, at £90 this is a great buy and goes well with a 15" cab. I am situated a couple of miles off the A3 at Hindhead/Hampshire border.

    [quote name='Steve_K' post='27279' date='Jul 5 2007, 01:41 AM']The Status single tuners have the advantage of allowing you to space the bridge gaps as you wish, and the new design never takes any effort to turn (while never slipping unintentionally!)[/quote] Thanks for the info Steve.

    [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='26831' date='Jul 4 2007, 07:48 AM']Yes, its an integrated 5 string unit rather than separate units. [/quote] Thanks for the pic. seems you may have a buyer there so thats good.

    [quote name='neepheid' post='19981' date='Jun 18 2007, 11:59 PM']Some of you may recall me putting the feelers out for a beat up old bass body, and I managed to get my hands on one. It's not quite a P-bass, I was told it was a Squier Bullet bass (thankfully not the short scale version), but in any case it'll do the job. I'm going to pair it with a Mighty Mite ebonal fretless Precision neck, probably stick a Badass II on it and use Schaller BMFLs again. Dunno about pups yet. So, to sanding! That's 1 hour's work. This is going to take a while. Anyway, the whole point of this otherwise completely unremarkable and somewhat straightforward project is that my sister is going to decorate the bass. A graduate of Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen, she jumped at the chance to collaborate on this project. Some examples of her work: I wonder what she'll come up with. Whatever it is, I fancy a repeat of the design on the headstock as well for good measure As ever, will keep you up to date on developments.[/quote] Did the same as many years ago. A long job isn't it! I ended up just sanding down. The bright yellow sandpaper found selling in rolled lengths about 4" wide is rough but effective. 3M paper lasts pretty good. A friend gave me some Canadian made sandpaper once which lasted ages. Maybe a light wood veneer on the front might finish it off nicely.

    [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='26075' date='Jul 2 2007, 03:44 PM']I have a black 5 string ABM bridge unit if you're interested - the finish is a little worn but it works fine. You could get a Steinberger headpiece off Ebay which allows you to anchor the strings either using an allen key and nut, or using DB end strings.[/quote] Thanks for the reply Crazykiwi. I need a 4 string setup for this next bass. Must look at ABM's site to see what style they do. I take it your bridge is a single unit 5 string?

    [quote name='RIM Basses' post='25493' date='Jul 1 2007, 07:53 AM']Hi Mybass, You could try ordering thru Enrico at www.woodandtronics.com in italy, other wise maybe check out ABM or Status. My last order with ETS took a while to get to me. Cheers, Robbie.[/quote] Thanks Robbie, I may look into the Italian connection though the Status link is looking easier. Cheers, Pete

    [quote name='skelf' post='25035' date='Jun 29 2007, 05:57 PM']You will have difficulty getting ETS hardware at the moment as production seems to be a bit erratic. I have read of few threads that say they have went under but others that say he is still in business.[/quote] Thanks Skelf, I'll keep my ear to the ground on that one. Seems though that Status may be the answer.
