    [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.

    [quote name='Alpha-Dave' post='24954' date='Jun 29 2007, 03:41 PM']No idea for ETS. Status hardware can use normal strings (status-graphite.com), as can ABM (from Allparts.co.uk) though.[/quote] Thanks Alpha, I thought Status only used the double ball end system. I'll make enquiries there as it could be much better to use "local" supplies. cheers
  16. mybass
    Would anyone know where I could get ETS (German) hardware from in the UK. Specifically for a headless design. I'm looking for headless bass hardware that will use normal single ball end strings. I got the idea from a previous post on a previous bassworld site but cannot find that builders post any more. Cheers all.

    [quote name='Gizmo' post='19885' date='Jun 18 2007, 08:43 PM']Hey Cail thanks for your kind words glad to see someone else is digging the single cut vibe UPDATE: i got a bit more done today on the control cavity and back plate as well as some work smoothing out the heal and lower horn there still not where i want them ut better than they were (u can click these thumbs for larger images) [url="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1306/565690726_0835b68824_o.jpg"][/url] [url="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1382/565690738_516fbd46f9_o.jpg"][/url] [url="http://"http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1062/565690790_12be2d41d4_o.jpg"][/url] [url="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1094/565690800_4092280e57_o.jpg"][/url] Thats a fine piece of dedicated work. I was looking at the backplate. Matching piece but how? Did you cut a veneer off that half body section before routing the control cavity on the body and then use the veneered piece to make the matching backplate?

    [quote name='Weird War' post='10651' date='Jun 1 2007, 04:57 PM']I'm thinking of installing some noiseless pickups in my Jazz, and am looking at these: Fender Samarium Cobalt Noiseless (SCN), Fender Vintage Noiseless, and Nordstrand NJ4SVs. Have BCers tried any of these?[/quote] I have a near new pair of Bill Lawrence jazz pickups for sale at £40 +post. Have a look at Bill's site www.billlawrence.com ( 3 letter l's in there!) where he goes in depth about his pickups. Bill designed the pickups for Fender that I have on my Roscoe Beck bass's. These that I have for sale are noiseless, have multiple magnets in them and the camber of the fingerboard/strings is followed by the centre magnets curving up towards the centre strings. I have a for sale post on this site for them with photo so contact me if you want further info. cheers, Pete

    I think the guy at Watford valves is a "tube head" bassist himself.

    Wow, sorry to see that damage, looks like it has been caught out by a forklift or something. Jeez, I cannot look at that photo too much! As a part time luthier, I can envisage how much pressure is needed to snap a neck with truss rod in it. Perhaps you can get a pro luthier to write a "report" on how difficult it must have been for a parcel force worker to snap the neck with their bare hands. In other words, this was done by mechanical means and then a blind eye turned on it. The worry is now sending basses off myself. Probably best to buy a cheap hard case and encase it in toughened steel and titanium! I know when sending stuff thru the PO I can insure over the "usual" amounts by paying extra. As I have yet to try parcel "Force" (!!!) to send stuff, I will surely check out all the print.
