Thanks for looking, as ever.. Cheers, Nik 👍😊 Useful info/reference/reviews etc So, here's some useful background and other information about this sale... This was bought by me in March last year from @rambam, here's a link to his advert : It was in superb condition when I bought it, and it still is to be honest, as I've only done a few gigs with it in that time. Here's the Carbine's tech spec: Wattage600 Watts @ 4 or 2 Ohms / 320 Watts @ 8 Ohms Power Amp TypeTrans-Class™ Power w/8 Power MOSFET's & 8/4 or 2 Ohm Impedance Switch PreampVacuum Tube Preamp w/ 1x Mesa 12AX7 EQ / Dynamics ControlActive Bass w/Pull Deep, Passive Mid, 5-Position Active Mid-Voice Switch & Active Treble Footswitchable FunctionsExternal Switching Jacks for Mute and Voicing Modes (Footswitches Sold Seperately) Weight25 Lbs. Dimensions3 1/2" H x 19" W x 13 3/8" D A useful YouTube review here: And here's a pretty accurate description of the qualities of the Carbine: The Mesa/Boogie M6 Carbine 600 Watt Bass Head is a powerhouse amplifier designed for bassists who crave precision, power, and versatility. With its Class A/B power section, this amp head delivers an impressive 600 watts, ensuring your sound is both bold and clear, whether you're in the studio or on stage. The M6 Carbine is engineered with a hybrid tube preamp and a MOSFET power section, combining the warmth of tubes with the reliability and efficiency of solid-state technology. What sets the M6 Carbine apart is its 5-band EQ with a semi-parametric midrange, allowing for detailed tonal shaping tailored to your specific style. This flexibility ensures that whether you're playing smooth jazz, funk, or heavy rock, your sound will cut through with clarity. The amplifier also features a foot-switchable Solo Level Control for dynamic live performances. Beyond its tonal capabilities, the M6 Carbine is built with the gigging musician in mind. It includes a balanced XLR output with a ground lift and pre/post EQ options for direct connection to PA systems. Additionally, it features a series effects loop and a tuner output, making it easy to integrate with your existing gear. Thanks again for looking! 👍

Great cabs, great seller too! GLWTS Pete! 👍

That's fabulous, and an absolute bargain IMHO for such a high-quality custom built bass! I have a Van der End JB5 that I bought on here 10 year ago, and, although its had a bit of a chequered past, it's still a great sounding and unique bass... I'm sure that whoever buys this won't be disappointed... GLWTS! 👍😊

This is a fantastic sounding bass, really easy to play, well made and very lightweight too... So, it ticks a lot of boxes! I say that because @Lozz196 was kind enough to let me try it out for a week, as I've always fancied owning a short scale bass... But for some reason, I just couldn't quite get used to the shorter scale. So it's back home at Lozz Towers now.. But as said above, it really is a cracking bass and at the price, a complete bargain! Thanks again for the try out Lozz - very much appreciated, and I hope this little beauty finds a new home soon! 👍😊 Cheers Nik

Really nice to hear such clean, precise and dynamic playing.... It's all in the hands/fingers, as a certain Mr Santana famously once said.

What a great looking bass - seriously good value for the money! Brilliant and highly respected Basschatter, too! GLWTS @ead 👍😊

What a fantastic sounding bass, and some wonderful playing in your video there @DaveSetchfield 👏👏👍 GLWTS 😊

That's a beauty! Having owned a number of Ash bodied basses over the years, that looks very much like Ash to me... GLWTS 👍😊

Excellent playing... Bass sounds great, too! 👏😊 GLWTS 👍
