£900 for the whole lot:

In addition, 33lbs for a ceramic 1x12?! That's lighter than some neo 112s!

That is a good price, £250 for each cab .

I've now sold both my Acme's, so I need to decide whether to go for a used Proline 4x10 or get a 1x12 Classic and another in a month or so.

No, that's completely wrong. Check out any song in a transcription book that features down-tuned guitars. The notation is ALWAYS transposed so that you can read it on a transposed instrument and sound at the correct pitch.

Here's an example: [url="http://www.onlinesheetmusic.com/get-the-funk-out-p382346.aspx"]http://www.onlineshe...ut-p382346.aspx[/url]

I bow to your superior knowledge, and can't be bothered to argue . But I'd be well annoyed if I arrived on a gig and had to down tune to play a chart for a song.
I have played lots of charts, a lot of Stevie Wonder songs too. Most of my gigs involve reading, and they've always been written out as heard. I have the chart for 'I wish' in front of me now, key signature is Eb minor, notated as played and heard.

Consider this, you de-tune your bass as indicated and then play along with the notation - you would sound a semitone lower than the recording. That's why the notation should be written up a semitone.
[/quote]

Well no, it's the TAB that says to detune, I'm sure the strings are labelled Eb/Ab/Db/Gb. You play the notation as written E is E, A is A, Bb is Bb etc.

I'm sure Nathan detunes his bass by a semitone. I guess that's why there's the discrepancy between the TAB and the notation. I'm sure Bass player magazine say to detune.

I've got a transcription somewhere that I did a few years ago and it's pretty much the same as in the magazine, as played being the same as 'as heard'.

I've bought a few things from them and never had a problem. I like the way they text you to keep you posted about the progress of your order.

[quote name='RandomProddy' timestamp='1325780437' post='1487581'] The EU's a Common Market - so there is no customs or import taxes. You still have to pay VAT though. [/quote]

The price advertised should include VAT, [i]I think[/i].

Bump.

I got mine from Effectspowersupplies for £379 and free delivery. They didn't have them in stock but got one the next day from the distributors, so I got it the day after.

Bump.

The Korg M1 is the biggest selling keyboard ever. It has some brilliant built in sounds and is a really great professional keyboard.

This particular one is in very nice condition. It has a few very minor cosmetic marks, nothing at all major, just what you'd expect a 20 odd year old keyboard to have picked up over a lifetime of being gigged.

The main problem with the M1 is the battery. When this dies then so do all of the factory installed sounds. This has had the battery changed in August. It also had all of the sounds reloaded, so it's good for another 20 years of gigging.

It was also recently serviced by a friend of mine.

It comes with a very nice and very sturdy keyboard stand.

I would like [b]£125[/b] for this and the stand together.

I would prefer personal collection, but will post at the buyer expense, but be warned it is heavy !

Photos to follow when i get over my flu .

Offer extended until midnight tonight, then it's back to £300 and I may even withdraw it from sale.

These S2's are brilliant basses, my 6 string is amazing.

Something to maybe consider, if you can get a cheap flight.

I bought an Accugroove cab from the Groove shoppe in New York a couple of years ago. I arranged to collect it from them while I was over there for a few days.
I flew from Birmingham via Charles De Gaulle in Paris because it worked out a lot, lot cheaper. My return flight was the same route, meaning I arrived back in the UK with my new Accugroove cab from France. I just collected it from the luggage reclaim and walked out with it .
I paid for the cab before I went so I didn't pay any purchase tax in the USA either, I was rather pleased to say the least .

This once in a lifetime, one day only offer ends at midnight .

I got my Zon 6 from a guy on Talkbass, that was when the exchange rates were far more favourable.

They charge VAT/import duty on everything, that includes all postage, including insurance.

Check the insurance small print though, Instruments may not be covered !

I also imported two Acme cabs from there. Fedex worked out best, somedays are cheaper too.

An absolute bargain - if I was buying cabs rather than selling etc...and Soliloquy is a great pillar of our community
[/quote]

Oooh wow, thanks for that Loz, I've gone all embarrassed .

Price cut for one day only - £275 posted, offer ends at midnight January 1st .

I have owned this for about 9 months. It sounds great, and is more than loud enough for small to medium sized gigs.
It has that SWR sound in abundance, if you like Marcus Miller and Stanley Clarke then little amp is for you.
It was designed with input from Marcus Miller, the Aural enhancer has two settings, the standard SWR and the Marcus Miller setting.

It is in good cosmetic condition, just some marks on the bottom, the front is like new and it works faultlessly. It has been my back up amp, and I have used it for gigs where I've wanted a more modern sound. I now have an EBS Reidmar which gives me every sound I need.

This one has been slightly modified to cut down on the noise generated by the fan. I have had a chrome grille fitted on the side, and there are holes on the top. I read somewhere that someone else did this to their Headlite, I tried it and it does indeed cut down on the noise of air being forced through the original slots.
The fan itself is actually pretty silent. Noise was being generated by the air from the fan being pushed out through slots cut into the side of the amp, kind of like wind whistling through trees or gaps in buildings.

I have also had a better quality valve fitted to it.

[b]The modifications in no way affect the running of the amp, if they did then I wouldn't be selling it[/b] .

I'm selling it for a bargain £250 including postage.

My Dad knows someone who has worked for DHL for a few years. They're now called Yodell . He reckons that they can't afford to buy vans or uniforms for their delivery staff.

Me and my Sister-in-law did our entire Christmas shopping via Amazon, taking advantage of my Prime membership. A lot of stuff was delivered by HDNL and some by CityLink. The delivery drivers were just wearing rather scruffy day clothes and using their own cars. I guess they were just taken on for the Christmas rush, but I did wonder what checks were done on them. I had an enhanced CRB check done for my teaching work, it takes a couple of weeks or so to get it through.

Bumppppppppppppppp.

Hows the new light weight EBS amps? I'm thinking about getting one!!
[/quote]

The Reidmar is excellent, I'm very happy with it .

[quote name='tonyclaret' timestamp='1325199868' post='1480991']
I'll have it! Emailed ya!
[/quote]

PM replied to , are you still interested ?

Sometimes you can see the signature on the website, I don't know if DHL do that.

I did see somewhere that DHL had a huge backlog of items.

I always wanted one of these after seeing Sting with his. They're great looking instruments, just the sort of thing I like.

This is in excellent condition, and comes complete with the original box and instructions etc.

I ordered it direct from the makers in US.

£90 including postage.
