billy finds it easier to bend the strings going in and through/up/down the scallops and claim they give tremendous sustain.

That's a shame! The eq is fairly simple though, a volume per pup, tone and coil tap for the model one. The bass is capable of giving p and ebo/3 tones and full on power rock. good luck andy

[quote name='Sibob' post='749866' date='Feb 18 2010, 03:36 PM']I've now bumped the thread with a £400 price, but reserve the right to bottle out haha This neck cost me £220, but thats with Birdseye fingerboard and binding options. So would be slightly less without those, but more if you wanted say block inlays, fancy wood neck, more frets, mult-laminate constructon etc etc Si[/quote] That is superb! Looks like a wee call to Jon is in order! cheers andy

Is it expensive to get a custom neck made by John Shuker? It looks absolutely stunning - I may need some time alone!! andy

Given the price of the mkIII new - £750 is not a bad price and as c. rightly says these fall into the super-precision category. Better made than any Fender p-bass and far superior tone. For me the only word that would describe these basses is MONSTEROUS! Hope you get what you are looking for. all the best andy

I can handle that! did you change the bridge? andy

Good luck mate! how you getting on with the pbass? andy

[quote name='James Crofts' post='747322' date='Feb 16 2010, 03:17 PM']I will think of the price i wont - this is a collectors item and i have never played it. I just hangs in my studio. As i said in my first post i will be adding the pics soon. Just waiting for my camera to charge up.[/quote] Hi James, Good luck with this and welcome to the forum - I'm sure I mailed you re this, via eBay, some time back. I'll post some of mine to whet the appetite!! In my view I would be hoping for £600 considering the mk1 status. all the best andy

Even if I was a righteous smug git...I wouldn't do that to you! but you can have the missus if you like??

And then some... Could you tell me the watts and ohms on the cab please. All I can find re this is 320w 1048h but that would be rather silly considering the amp is 600w. Tis a v-series amp and cap therefore they should match output? andy great rig though and one I would very much like!!

[quote name='Merton' post='745509' date='Feb 15 2010, 07:56 AM']Yes and no. This particular model is two-a-penny all over the country I'm afraid, and was built at a time when the QC started going (albeit slowly) downhill. If I had a Trace 4x10 it's be one of the really old ones or brand new 2010 models.[/quote] Definitely are hundreds of the 1048h for sale but all the old wooden ones. Still recall this being 800w and much sought after. However could be wrong I'll do some more digging. andy

hey bud ^^^ unless I'm missing stuff or having another senior moment...these cabs are the top end of Trace Elliot 4x10! andy

Hey Steve, Get another cab! I have the lead here that will enable you to connect to 4ohm cabs in series - it's yours free! It will reduce the volume in the ashdown head to around 400watt. When I used it it reduced to ampeg from 450w to 300w. andy

[quote name='Merton' post='744576' date='Feb 14 2010, 10:00 AM']Fair play. I think £400 is about right for the head, but given you have the flightcase as well you can go higher. The cab is spot on though IMO.[/quote] Have to disagree with that view. The 1048h is a phenomenal cab and as far as I recall its 800watt. Last one I saw sold for £400 - not in same condition nor flight cased. The flight cases obviously add value to the rig as well. As far as the head goes, inc. flightcase, it surpasses the equivalent Ampeg SVT3 pro of which commands an rrp of around £1k and sells s/h for around £500. A value of around £600 would be about right for the head in my view and experience of course. It is a phenomenal rig in pristine condition with flight cases, an asking price of £1k would not be ridiculous nor outwith the realms of fairness considering the quality, tone and sheer power and...the flight cases on their own must be worth on the region of £300 s/h. good luck andy

bump!

Same here! Also have, C521bee, C315bee and a C515bee - they are just great value for money and sound braw! andy

More of my stuff going out... All hifi equipment in good nick and sounding tremendous! Cyrus II with PSX capabilities Nad C520 CD player and remote Wharfedale 505.2 speakers with 6 core Indigo blue cable (2m per side) £250 delivered. cheers for looking andy

Fantastic instrument, very little on the market can surpass these! good luck andy
