Hi Folks I'm upgrading my rig so need to move on some of my equipment that has served me very well over the last year or so, starting with this [b]Eden Nemesis NA650[/b] head, which I'm asking [b]£300 + p&p[/b] for. I paid about £320 for the head last year and £20 for the SKB case IIRC, so I think the price I'm asking is reasonable given the current economic climate. I bought it last year here on Basschat and it's been [b]brilliant[/b] for the kind of gigs I do, which are pubs, clubs, weddings etc.. So much so, that I now intend to upgrade my rig to an Eden Metro. The [b]NA 650[/b] is very punchy and warm sounding, which might sound like a contradiction but it's not, and the [b]tonal flexibilit[/b]y is fantastic, as it is with all Eden amps. There's 3-band e.q, semi-parametric eq, a very good D.I, tube emulation circuit, compressor, fx loops, mute switch etc, etc.. You name it; it has it and does it!! Here's some photos, including a stock photo which shows the front & rear panels very clearly..

One of the great features of this amp IMO is that it will run down to 2 ohms, which means you don't always have to buy 8 ohm cabs!! Anyway, here's the blurb and spec: "The flagship of the Nemesis line. The NA650 is 2 spaces high and 17" wide by 11" deep. It features a unique preamp design and an all FET output stage with 650W RMS at 2 ohms. This unit has Enhance, Edge, and Gain boost controls; selectable DI pre/post, front-panel DI level control, as well as a smooth, solid FET sound with plenty of power to drive multiple speaker cabinets. Nemesis NA650 Bass Head Specifications: * Power: 650W RMS@ 2 ohms * Distortion: <.1% * Frequency Response: 10Hz - 18kHz * Headroom: 3dB * Dimensions: 17"W x 3-1/2"H x 11"D * Weight: 28 lbs. Nemesis NA650 Bass Head Features: * 650W RMS @ 2 ohms * Unique preamp design * FET output stage * Semi-parametric EQ with Enhance, Gain Boost, and Edge controls * Selectable pre/post DI with front-panel level control * Pre-EQ effects loop" [attachment=28940:Jul_09_074.jpg] [attachment=28941:Jul_09_077.jpg] [attachment=28942:Jul_09_075.jpg] There's some interesting user reviews and comments here: [url="http://www.eden-electronics.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=12260"]http://www.eden-electronics.com/forum/topi...?TOPIC_ID=12260[/url] And it might be worth reading this recent Basschat thread about the NA650 [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=52284"]HERE[/url] which covers quite a bit of detail about these amps, including the [b]low-level hum[/b] that they produce which is an inherent design fault apparently. When I got mine, I had it [b]thoroughly serviced [/b]and checked over to see what was causing the hum, but my amp tech couldn't eliminate it. Having said all that, when you're using the amp in anger, you can't hear the hum at all! There's no reviews that I can find on Harmony Central for this amp but have a look at bassist Bill Clement here on YouTube, who uses the NA650 - the guy is amazing! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX_PFH--rXo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX_PFH--rXo[/url] My reason for selling is simply to upgrade, hopefully to an all Eden rig as I said above, but otherwise, I'd be very happy to continue using this amp with my SWR cabs because it sounds bloody good! It's in pretty good condition and [b]works perfectly[/b], though the SKB case is a little tatty but perfectly functional! When I bought it originally, I had it couriered via APC which cost me [b]£15[/b] at the time and I would be happy to ship this in a similar fashion for anyone who is interested but not within easy reach of here..here being [b]Littlehampton[/b] in [b]West Sussex[/b] by the way. For anyone else who's interested and nearby, then you'd be [b]very welcome[/b] to come here, have a cuppa and a chat and [b]listen to it in action[/b]! Any questions, feel free to PM me or ask away here.. Thanks for looking. Nik [attachment=28943:Jul_09_066.jpg] [attachment=28944:Jul_09_062.jpg]

[b]Sold[/b] Hi Folks I'm upgrading my rig so need to move on some of my equipment that has served me very well over the last couple of years, starting with this mid 90's [b]SWR Goliath Junior II 210[/b] cab, which is for sale at [b]£150[/b] plus p&p. It seems that SWR really peaked as a company in the 90's and this cab is an excellent example of what they did very well back then..which was make great sounding bass gear! I bought this on Basschat about 2 years ago, then sold it on last year. But in typical Basschat fashion, recently bought it back again because I missed the sound it gave me when running it in conjunction with my SWR Triad.. Though it is excellent with the Triad, it's also a[b] great sounding cab in it's own right[/b] and because of the twin rear ports, it has an [b]excellent frequency range[/b] and handles the [b]low B [/b]on my 5 String basses very well!! [attachment=28924:Jul_09_0...ed_25065.jpg] [attachment=28925:Jul_09_0...ed_19932.jpg] Here's what the SWR website says about it: [i]"The first upgrade to our original 2x10, featuring a redesigned crossover, input panel and 10" driver, as well as upgraded construction techniques and materials. The Goliath Junior II was upgraded again in 1996 to the Goliath Junior III. Impedance: 4 ohms Power Handling Capacity: 250 Watts RMS Sensitivity: 103 dB SPL @ 1W1M Frequency Response: -6db @ 40Hz and 12kHz Production Period: 1990 to 1996 Final Retail Price: $649.00"[/i] And there's some very good [b]reviews[/b], first on BGRA [url="http://www.bgra.net/2004/review.php?id=86&type=cabinet"]HERE[/url] and also on Harmony Central [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Bass+Amp/product/SWR/Goliath+Jr+II+Cabinet/10/1"]HERE[/url]. It is in good condition cosmetically considering it's age, and in all other respects it is [b]working perfectly[/b]! It is quite heavy at [b]55lbs[/b] but because it's quite small and compact with good side handles, I can move this around quite easily. [attachment=28926:Jul_09_0...ed_23617.jpg] [attachment=28927:Jul_09_0...ed_12886.jpg] (By the way, the mark at the back of the cab is on the photo, not actually on the cab!!) My reason for selling is simply to upgrade, hopefully to an all Eden rig, but otherwise, I'd be very happy to continue using this cab because it sounds great! And 'great' to me means that it very faithfully reproduces the sound of your bass & amp, without any real colouration.. When I bought it originally, I had it couriered via APC which cost me [b]£25[/b] at the time and I would be happy to ship this in a similar fashion for anyone who is interested but not within easy reach of here..here being [b]Littlehampton[/b] in [b]West Sussex[/b] by the way. For anyone else who's interested and nearby, then you'd be [b]very welcom[/b]e to come here, have a cuppa and a chat and [b]listen to it in action![/b] Any questions, feel free to PM me or ask away here.. Thanks for looking. Nik

ON HOLD pending payment etc... Hi Folks I'm selling some items I don't use to get funds together to upgrade my rig, so here is my Yamaha Nathan East Parametric EQ pedal for sale at £45 inc p&p. Everything you need to know about it can be found on the Yamaha website [url="http://www.yamaha.com/guitars/products/productdetail.html?CNTID=60151&CTID="]HERE[/url] [attachment=28922:Jul_09_051.jpg] It is a very simple effect pedal to use but makes a big improvement to your sound without any hassle. There's some excellent reviews for it here on Harmony Central: [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Effects/product/Yamaha/NE-1+Nathan+East+Parametric+EQ/10/1"]http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews...ametric+EQ/10/1[/url] It runs on 9v battery power only but I've had the same battery in this one for a while, so it's not too expensive in terms of new batteries.. This one is in very good condition, works perfectly and cosmetically is 9/10 I'd say.. and IMO, I think it looks very cool in a retro kind of way!! [attachment=28923:Jul_09_053.jpg] My reason for letting this go is that, even after selling it, I will still have an Aphex Bass Exciter (which has a slight fault so am not comfortable about selling it here on BC) and I'm upgrading my rig to an amp with almost endless tonal possibilities.. So i figure I can safely move this on now and hopefully, there'll be some interest here for it? Feel free to ask any questions here or via PM and thanks for looking.. Nik

[quote name='gary mac' post='538300' date='Jul 12 2009, 09:44 AM']have a bump from a fellow wal owner, can't believe it's not gone yet. Wish I could afford it mate[/quote] +1 me neither.. and this is a very good price!

Hi Crez PM sent.. Nik

It looks massive!

[quote name='vegas_hooker' post='537349' date='Jul 10 2009, 05:25 PM']It should also be noted that this amp comes with free giant for obscene rig constructions.[/quote]

Wow!! One of the highest priced basses I've ever seen in this For Sale forum - which is not surprising given what it is - and it's an amazing looking bass! Good luck with the sale..

+1 I have one of these (1998) and it's really good..and though it's not as diverse sounding as my Roscoe Beck V, it does nail that 'jazz bass' tone to a tee! This looks like a particularly good one and the colour is quite unusual too.. Good luck with the sale!

Does the amp run at 2 ohms..?

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='536186' date='Jul 9 2009, 08:34 AM']+1 and that Ken Smith is an absolute beauty.[/quote] +2 on that.. Bought my Wal off Gwil some time back and he is a great bloke who really knows his stuff when it comes to high quality basses! Yes - that Ken Smith is fabulous...

[quote name='ape' post='536083' date='Jul 8 2009, 11:06 PM']Its early 80's I believe, the sound is really good with a great range of tones with all those controls. I did some recordings with it in my old band and sounded great on those. Is that your Wal in the avatar, I've always wanted to try one, I love the sound of them only trouble is I'd probably have to sell a kidney or something to ever own one lol.[/quote] Cool! Sound wise, I imagine the Kramer would be not far off from my old 1984 BC Rich Eagle, which had a very similar design in terms of electronics and pick ups.. That was a fabulous bass.. Yes, the Wal is mine; it's a 1979 Pro IIe model and sounds fantastic! Cost me about £800 IIRC 4 years ago but they go for more now (unfortunately)..

There's something really insane about this bass IMO, but in a really good way! A fantastic piece of design and engineering and I'm really kind of curious to know how old it is and what it sounds like? Good luck with the sale..

Good point... Well, this is certainly up there with the best.. but for the life of me, I can't see why as this is such a bargain!

This looks like a really fantastic bass for the money, even in these hard-up times..especially as it comes with the original case, strap etc.. I've always preferred the flexibility of the Sabre to the Stingray..had the pleasure of playing a friend's 1980 model some years back) and the tonal variety is superb! If I wasn't such a die-hard 70's Wal fanatic (and I had the spare cash), I'd really be wanting to buy this... No help to the OP, but have a free bump on me anyway
