    Had the pleasure of meeting @MarkBuffaloStokes, aka, Mark for the first time today, whilst buying a fab sounding Mesa Diesel 115 cab from him. In typical Basschat fashion, we had a great 10, 15 minute chat about vintage bass gear, playing in bands, and going for that old-school authentic tone in our playing.. It was good, life-affirming stuff! And to be honest, I'm pretty sure we could have kept chatting a whole lot more. As has been said above and suffice to say, Mark's a great guy to deal with, excellent comms and he makes everything straightforward and easy - which is a real bonus when you don't live anywhere near each other. So, highly, highly recommended to one and all here on the forum. Thanks Mark, really appreciate you making it so easy to get this deal done! 🙏 Cheers Nik

    *** Now Pending *** Hi Folks, I've recently acquired a Handbox head, so am putting up for sale, this incredible Mesa Boogie Walkabout Combo. I'm looking for £650 or near offer and am not looking for any trades It's in really good condition and works perfectly and comes with the original cover. Here's a brief description an spec summary: The Mesa Boogie Walkabout Combo 15 is a 300-watt hybrid bass combo amp featuring a 4-stage tube preamp, 6 tube-driven MOSFETs in its Simul-State power section, and a 15-inch neodymium speaker with a 10-inch passive radiator. Key specs include active/passive inputs, a 3-band semi-parametric EQ, and a balanced direct line output with a ground lift switch. It weighs approximately 63 lbs (28.6 kg). Though I've owned a Mesa Big Block 750, the Titan, an M-Pulse 600 and a Carbine, I still think there's something really magical about the Walkabout sound, and together with the 15" driver and downward facing 10" passive radiator, it is a brilliant gigging tool for us weekend warriors who still love the thrill of a bass rig blasting away behind us whilst playing! Backstory is that I got this in a trade with @jarc11 on here a few years ago, and here's the link to his original advert: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/459789-traded-mesa-boogie-walkabout-15/#comment-4656526 For now I'm using a few of his photos (hope that's OK 🙏) , but will add some more of my own tomorrow. A recent bout of sciatica has meant I'm trying to reduce the weight of some of my gigging bass gear, hence the acquisition of the Handbox, but - pound for pound - I still think this is one of the best bass combos ever made. Collection from Potton, Central Bedfordshire or meet up by prior arrangement. I will not ship this for obvious reasons. If my Carbine sells before this, then I'll probably withdraw this from sale because I really do love it. But for now, it's up for grabs. Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks for looking. Cheers Nik

    Hi Folks, Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of buying an immaculate Handbox R400 head from Russ, aka @RJB280. The amp itself is fantastic, and with this being the version 2 model with the mid eq, it's even better than I remember these amps to be. Whilst there, I had a really nice chat (about all things bass) with Russ, and I can only reiterate what's been said above in that, he's an absolute gent and a great person to do a deal with. Highly, highly recommend.... 👍 Russ - thanks for your time and warm welcome, and thanks also for letting me have a play on your lovely early 60s P and J basses, which were stunning! 🙏😊 Cheers Nik

    Hi Folks, Just bought a great sounding Aria medium scale bass from @Paul S Wow, what a bass! And double-wow ; what a great all-round bloke and Basschatter Paul is... Highly, highly recommend to one and all here on the forum. Thanks Paul for such a good meet up and conversation - it really was a pleasure! 🙏😊 And dare I say it.. Here's to the next time.. 😁 Nik

    Hi @Mike Brooks, Obviously, I can't speak for the organisers of this Bash, but from a punters perspective, It would be great to have you there on the day if you can make it. In my experience, the South East Bass Bash has massively benefited over the years from the contributions of a wide variety of professional players, who have shared some of their unique experiences and insights... So a talk /presentation by your good self on the day would be absolutely amazing. All being well, I look forward to meeting you there! Cheers Nik

    A windy, weekend BUMP for this beauty of an bass amp, that's also capable of moving lots of air around! Stay safe, everyone, wherever you are....
  10. silverfoxnik
    Sounds great! Nice playing too... 👍

    Hi Folks, Figured I'd better give this beautiful amp a BUMP, as it needs to find a new home! Cheers, Nik

    Morning Folks, Am having a rethink and refresh on the bass rig front, so this beautiful piece of Mesa Boogie engineering is back up for sale only I'm looking for £600, or near offer. See above for all the superlatives to describe this amp, but suffice to say, it sounds superb, with intuitive and comprehensive e.q., and more than enough power and headroom for most gigging situations. Postage isn't an option, but collection or meet ups in and around Bedfordshire SG19, where I live, or London, where I work, are both welcome and possible. Thanks for looking and have a great weekend! Nik

    Wow!! 13 years.... 😮 Mind you, saying that, I'm 5 years into a recording project.. 🤔 These things take time when you've absolutely no idea what you're doing. 🤣 But yes - I'm good thanks, Si. 🙏 Rehearsing roday, so can't complain...
  21. silverfoxnik
    I know - that's freaking crazy, right! T'was a great day, as I recall, especially your talk... We were all sat there ever so reverential and eager to learn. .. 🧑‍🎓😁 Hope all's well with you btw, Si....

    "No, it really wouldn't be interesting in a situation like a Bass Bash." My point was only that you'd be amazed and suprised at what talks Basschat peeps have found interesting at the various Bashes over the years...

    Despite what @petebsaid in his reply to this comment of yours @Sean, back at the 4th South East Bass Bash in 2010, @s1m0n gave a fantastic - and dare I say, legendary - presentation about the joys of using compressors... 😁 Sadly the photos aren't available any longer, but have a look here for more info:

    Multiple rooms are really useful @Sean- hence why the previous venue we used in Addlestone, courtesy of @Hamster, was so good over the years. But I'm sure we can find a way to make this venue work, and it's great that you've found somewhere that we can get together in this year. Besides, not everyone who says they can make, gets there on the day, and people don't all arrive at the same time either. So, I'm sure it'll be fine. FWIW, I was heavily involved in running the SE Bash for years, so if you want to have a chat about anything, just send me a PM - I'm more than happy to help. Cheers Nik
