    HI Folks, This fabulous amp is now back up for sale after a recent Basschat sale fell through due to the amp suffering some minor internal damage whilst in Parcelforce's non-existent care!! Happily, that minor damage has been professionally repaired now by the brilliant Mick Newman at MC Electronics in Bedford and the amp is back in full working order, having been given a clean bill of health by Mick. So, whilst I'm still keen obviously to find a new owner for this great amp, I won't take the risk of shipping it. So, it's either collection in person or meet up within an hours drive from me if you want it. For anyone seriously interested in buying this, and in the interests of full disclosure, I'm more than happy to demonstrate the amp working over Zoom, provide additional photos and give a more more detailed explanation as to what repair has been made. Thanks for looking! Cheers Nik

    Hi Folks, Some friends of mine are urgently looking for a bass player. Here's their advert below: Bass Player Wanted Peterborough based Indie/Rock 4-piece band seeks experienced, creative and reliable bass player to join ASAP. Ability to hold down the groove & rock out whilst having a good time is much more important in this band than technical virtuosity... Think 'AC/DC meets Nirvana' with a little bit of The Chilli Peppers thrown in, and you'll have got our vibe! Rehearsals in Peterborough once a fortnight and Gigs coming up from March onwards, so what are you waiting for - get in touch now! " Please send me a PM if you're interested and I'll put you on touch with the band. Many thanks, Nik

    @RnRDave- I see you're in Stockport, not far from where I was born in Timperley, so it's kind of like home for me!

    Just heard this... Such awful news. 😢 https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/jan/28/tom-verlaine-frontman-and-guitarist-of-us-band-television-dies-at-73?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_OtherL One of the most influential yet underrated 'greats' IMHO. Time to put on Marquee Moon at full volume and pay my respects. RIP Tom.

    All PMs replied to and a quick weekend BUMP for this awesome cab! 😊 And just to say that I'd forgotten to mention in my original post that delivery within a 50 mile radius is also an option..

    Hi Folks, Uber-cool, 600 watt Aguilar DB212, 4 ohm cab for sale in very fetching monster green tolex. Asking price is now £Now SOLD Bass Direct had a second-hand one for sale at £1299 last year, so I think this is priced about right. (https://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Aguilar_DB212.html) Sound/condition etc: This is a high-quality serious piece of kit that's in very good internal and external condition and sounds amazing.. Think deep, rich bass, tones with plenty of mids and top end clarity. Sonically, it has great authority - you really do feel every note with this cab! Very sensibly, it comes with really sturdy casters which make it much easier to move around. Links: YouTube and Talk Bass links here: Talk Bass: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/aguilar-db212-midrange.816660 Location /collection etc: I'm based in Potton, which is on the Bedfordshire/Cambridgeshire borders. For obvious reasons, I'd much prefer to sell the cab to someone who's able to come and check it out in person and collect it there and then. Having said that, local delivery within 30 miles could be an option, or insured shipping (at additional cost obviously). Whatever, I'm happy to discuss options with anyone who's seriously interested. Thanks for looking and if you have any questions, please PM me, or ask away here. Cheers Nik DB212 Features/Spec: •Two 12" cast frame woofers, 56 oz. magnet •Phenolic tweeter with integral phase plug •Custom crossover with variable tweeter control •Deep robust handles •13 ply Baltic Birch Specifications •Feet: Rubber •Inputs: 1 x Neutrik Speakon, 2 x 1/4" Jack •Power Handling: 600 watts RMS •Frequency Response: 41 Hz - 16 kHz •Sensitivity: 98 dB 1W 1M •Impedance: 4 ohms •Dimensions: 24.75" (H) x 24.5" (W) x 17.375" (D) •Weight: 31.75Kg

    *** Now SOLD *** Hi Folks, *** This fabulous amp is now back up for sale after a recent Basschat sale fell through due to the amp suffering some minor internal damage whilst in Parcelforce's non-existent care!! Happily, that minor damage has been professionally repaired now by the brilliant Mick Newman at MC Electronics in Bedford and the amp is back in full working order, having been given a clean bill of health by Mick. *** So, "Seconds out, Round 2" .. 😁 For sale only, 1 x Handbox R400 bass amp in very good condition and excellent working order (see attached photos). I'm looking for £450 or very near offer. Backstory is that it was previously owned by @Captain Rumble until it came to me in a trade in 2021. Bit of a feeler this one tbh as it's a great amp, but I have not really been using it as I tend to always gig my Mesa Boogie gear. Anyway, I guess if you're reading this, you'll know already what a great reputation these amps have for superb sound, superior build quality and fantastic design principles - as I think someone said on here recently, they're a 'future classic!' And all of that is true really - for such a portable and easy to use piece of kit, the R400 packs a fabulous sonic punch! Should you want to know more, here's a link to the Handbox webpage: http://www.handbox.pl/R-400-MINI-HEAD-p142.html And there's a link to an excellent demo of these amps by our very own @wateroftyne - who I think it's fair to say, has been (quite rightly) championing Handbox for a number of years now. And there's plenty more good stuff (reviews, vids, discussion etc) online about the R400, including this Basschat mega thread here: I'm based in Potton, Bedfordshire and would much prefer to sell the amp to someone who's able to collect in person for the reasons stated above. Alternatively, I'd be happy to arrange a meet up in person within an hours drive from me.. Trials welcome obviously, with the obligatory Basschat tea/coffee /biscuits offer to friendly Basschatters! 😁☕ Thanks for looking and if you have any questions, please PM me, or ask away here. Cheers Nik

    I had one of these cabs for a while about 12, 13 years ago. It sounded pretty good to me and was great for rehearsals and small pub gigs at the time.

    Aways admired the way Jeff Beck pushed himself musically - never standing still, trying out new styles, working with a diverse sets of musos. All signs of a creative musician IMHO. More than that though, he was such an exciting guitar player!! RIP 😔

    Good shout Chris! I've been a Radio 6 fan for about 10 years now... Personal favourites are Guy Garvey and Cerys Matthews on Sunday afternoon. Iggy and Tom Robinson are great too. And, when I'm in the mood for some funky music and great bass lines, Craig Charles is always a good listen on Saturday evenings.. It's so obvious I think, that no one ever really talks about it, but having really talented musicians /singers curate and present their own radio shows is an absolute no-brainer! Give me that any day over the facile, smug, self-serving 'DJs' that have dominated music radio for decades.

    These are the real deal! Beautiful looking bass, Nick - GLWTS 👍

    Just reposting what I said on the other Tobias Classic 5 for sale thread as it applies here just the same.. 'I had a Tobias Classic 5 back in the early 90s and it was a beautifully crafted instrument that just 'sang' when you played it. It was, I think, the most resonant bass I've ever owned and sounded amazing. The only reason I sold it was the string spacing, which was a bit too narrow for my stubby fingers... This one looks like a gorgeous example - GLWTS! 😊'
