  1. Hi Folks I have this quite rare [b]Reussenzehn Daniel D[/b] valve pedal for sale for which I'm asking [b]£65 [/b]+ p&p. Recently serviced and in full working order, this is quite a rare piece of kit that produces a [b]really warm, valvey tone[/b] that makes a huge difference to the overall presence of your sound when playing live!! And as a bonus, it provides a significant [b]gain boost[/b] which is particularly useful if you use passive basses like I do.. It's currently fitted with a [b]Sylvania 12ax7[/b] from [b]1976[/b] (that I got from Walbassist earlier this year) which can be bought with the Daniel D for an extra [b]£20[/b], which is what I paid for it. Otherwise, the unit will come fitted with a more generic 12ax7 valve.

It's a rare beast, but there is some info about it on the net here if you want to know more: [url="http://www.reussenzehn.de/"]Reussenzehn website[/url] (Look on the 'Musiker' page under bass preamps) [url="http://www.harmonycentral.com/products/104143"]Harmony Central[/url] [url="http://www.effectsdatabase.com/model/reussenzehn/danield/bdl"]Disco Fred's Effects database[/url] According to the website, these retailed at [b]189 Euros[/b] new but I'm looking to for [b]£65[/b] plus P&P in the UK, which is quite a bit less than I paid for it 3 years ago here on Basschat. If you're interested and want to know more, please ask here or PM me. Thanks for looking Nik
  2. Hi Gareth Happy New Year! Hope you had a good one... I need a 12AX7 for my Hughes & Kettner Bassbase 600 head; what have you got left valve-wise, if anything? Cheers Nik
  3. +1 to all of the above.. Just sold an SWR cab to Charlie and it was all good; he's very easy to deal with, good comms, turned up bang on time and left half an hour later with the cab.. Good player too! Hope you enjoy the cab, Charlie
  4. [b]NOW SOLD - thanks for looking![/b]
  5. Fabulous bass.. and quite rare too! GLWTS
  6. Thanks Alex! You're absolutely right; these are very well made cabs and because of that fact, I did consider at one point putting in some neo drivers to up the power handling and bring the weight down a bit. Other acquisitions got it in the way of that little project unfortunately.. All PMs replied to BTW
  7. Hi Folks [b]NOW SOLD - THANKS FOR LOOKING[/b] I bought this from Moos3h here on Basschat 2 years ago in order to run it as part of a two-rig set up along with my SWR Triad, but that plan never really happened. In the end, a combination of too few gigs and not enough space at what gigs I've actually done has meant this has been little used.. Which is a shame as it's a great little cab that sounds pretty sweet (to my ears anyway), isn't too heavy and is in good condition for it's age. The recent acquisition of a Schroeder 21012 means this will get even less use, hence why I'm finally putting it up for sale. [b]Photos:[/b] [attachment=151565:20131121_100528.jpg] [attachment=151566:20131121_100506.jpg] [attachment=151567:20131121_100540.jpg] Here's the SWR blurb about it: [i]"WORKINGMAN'S 2x12T Bass Cabinet enclosure. The workingman's 2x12T was a great sounding two way enclosure featuring two custom designed 12" Celestion speakers. The WM 2x12 came standard with the "Texas Bar Proof" metal grill. Aluminum input panel.[/i] [i]Power Handling: 250 watts, Impedance: 8 ohms Size: 23 1/4"W x 23 1/4"H x 18 1/2"D Weight: 55 lbs Input panel features: Parallel 1/4" input jacks (In & Out ) 3-way switch for horn ( 0db, -6db, off.) Aluminum construction. Production period: 1995 to 1999"[/i] More blurb here: [url="http://www.swramps.com/en-GB/support/vintage.php/#wmspeakers"]http://www.swramps.c...php/#wmspeakers[/url] I'd be happy to post this but obviously, would particularly welcome interest from anyone local to Littlehampton, West Sussex. And if you are local and would like to come and hear the cab in action for yourself, then you'd be very welcome. I'm going to be putting a few more bits and pieces up for sale over the next couple of days but have to head out to a gig now.. But if you have any questions about the 212, or if you'd like any more photos, then please ask here or PM me. Thanks for looking, Nik
  8. +1 - very influential indeed. R.I.P.
  9. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1388844950' post='2326753'] I think you should use exactly the same kit as in 1978, you know, for the sake of complete verisimilitude ... [/quote] Nice to hear - hope it goes well for you!
  10. I had 1 of these basses about 10 years back and it was surprisingly good.. It had a great sound due to the P/J pick up configuration (which admittedly I am a fan of) and it was very nice to play. Perhaps that was in part down to the through-neck design? Whatever it was, it certainly punched above it's weight for a budget bass. So GLWTS and have a BUMP on me!
  11. [quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1388516558' post='2323016'] Anyone have any suggestions of the best CDs or DVDs to start with, for someone who has none of his material? [/quote] +1 one to the above mentioned 'Sign of the Times' and 'Parade', but IMO, other Prince albums worth hearing in their entirety would include: 'Dirty Mind' '1999' 'Purple Rain' ( a genius pop masterpiece in my view) 'LoveSexy' There are always brilliant tracks on most Prince Albums, even if the album itself isn't great overall. For example, the free album he did about 4 years ago that was distributed by the Daily Mail had some fantastic tunes on it.. As for his live performances and musicianship, the shows I've seen over the years have been extraordinary! I remember seeing the LoveSexy tour back in the late '80s and it was just unbelievable. His singing, guitar playing and abilities as a pianist were peerless. Above and beyond that for me though are his abilities as a songwriter - sometimes overlooked because his personality and showmanship tends to grab all the headlines. Songs like 'Sign of the Times', 'Kiss', 'When Doves Cry' are classics! But there are lots of other gems in his catalogue too.. Check out 'Condition of the Heart' from the 'Paisley Park' album or 'Do U Lie' from 'Parade - fabulous. The other thing that I think is worth mentioning about Prince is his influence on other artists and musicians.. Not sure who said it but there's a saying about truly great artists being a 'barometer for their times' and I think that's definitely true of Prince during the 1980s, just as it was for Bowie in the 1970s and the Beatles in the 1960s.. All subjective of course, but that's my 2p worth. Nice thread btw bubinga5..
  12. +1 And Jon's a great person to deal with too..
  13. Very wise move Ollie.. It's a beautiful example of a classic bass. Hope all's well with you and you had a good Xmas? Nik
  14. I've had a couple of these over the years and they really are lovely sounding pieces of kit! Quite a surprising range of tones too.. Must say that I've never seen one in such good condition as this either. GLWTS.
  15. BUMP for a great looking bass! Always fancied one of these but IIRC, these are 17mm string spacing at the bridge, which is just a bit too narrow for me. Anyway, GLWTS.
  16. [quote name='PauBass' timestamp='1387931684' post='2317421'] Thanks! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all wonderful people of Bascchat!...it's a pleasure being part of this great community. [/quote] +1 Have a good one Folks Enjoy your Xmas and here's to a great 2014 for everybody!
  17. [quote name='White Cloud' timestamp='1386792581' post='2304715'] You sir, are a gentleman. [/quote] +1
  18. A massive +1 to all the above stories about the old WAL workshop in High Wycombe.. It was great customer service! WAL,Pete the Fish, Stuart and Paul were a great bunch who made me feel really welcome every time I went there.. In particular, WAL himself had a great sense of humour. Over the years, I remember trying out some of the unique WALs they had there, such as serial number 1111 and their first 5 and first 6 string models; there was no snobbery whereby trying things out was only the preserve of more well-known bassists. They always liked to get feedback from all their customers. I heard about 4 or 5 years ago that Stuart had a battle with throat-cancer but had come through it and was still doing work as a Luthier, which is good news.
  19. The Pro models body shape is so close to the Custom MK1 shape, this case will definitely work for a Pro1.
  20. This has got to be one of the best value cabs for sale on BC at the moment.. I'm surprised it's still here! GLWTS
  21. Very interesting indeed! That's a fair price for the case by the way, Chris.. These very early ones do have a lot of kudos attached to them, hence their value. GLWTS
  22. Fantastic cabs, these.. I've only just recently bought one and have been amazed by how good they sound in a gigging situation. I've been very loyal to my trusty old SWR Triad cab for 5 or 6 years, but this Schroeder cab has a unique design that projects your bass sound into a venue so well, it's astonishing! And what it does project is a really clear, punchy and full bass sound... GLWTS
  23. My dream cab! Fortunately (or is that unfortunately?), your location and my back say 'NO'.. Best of luck with the sale though..
