  1. That's a really classy looking bass and a beautiful colour! GLWTS
  2. I've had the pleasure of playing through this amp and it's really very good.. Having owned some Class A/B amps such as Eden and Thunderfunk over the years that have similarities to this - particularly in the parametric eq department - I'd say this is right up there with the best of them! First off, it's phenomenally loud and has a real 'kick' or 'thump' to it that is very satisfying to feel when playing - especially with a 5 string bass that has a low B string.. Secondly, the eq is brilliant - pin point accuracy across 2 separate eq channels that really does allow you to dial in a wide array of tones.. And lastly, I think another of its great strengths is that the amp is very transparent ; it doesn't cover or mask the sound of your bass - it just deepens and broadens it. The downside of all that perhaps is that this amp doesn't sound as sweet straight out of the box as an Eden World Tour series head does for example, but once you start using the eq and other tone shaping features on this amp, it more than makes up for that.. To borrow a phrase often used when describing Hi-fi amps, I think the soundstage with this amp is far better than the Edens I've owned and its better than a Thunderfunk TF550 I had briefly too.. But also, I think this has more in the eq department than both those amps.. If I didn't already have an Ampeg valve amp, a Hughes and Kettner Bassbase 600, and a Hartke HA5500, then I would definitely have made an offer on this by now. Anyway, GLWTS with the sale of this amp@ChunkyMunky - it's a real beauty! 😊
  3. Lovely! I've had two RBVs in this colour before and this one looks just as good as they were.. Superb build quality, great range of tones available from the passive circuitry and IMHO, there's just something uniquely 'vintage Fender' about the Roscoe Beck basses that works in almost any musical setting. GLWTS
  4. Just sold a fretless bass to Matt, aka @hooky_lowdown. Nice easy transaction and as has been said before on here many times, Matt is a great guy to deal with and a credit to the Basschat community.. Hope you enjoy the bass Matt and all the best for now.. Nik 😊
  5. Never seen one of these before but, based on my previous experience of owning a Genz 2x12, I bet its a gorgeous sounding cab.. GLWTS
  6. Just had the pleasure of dealing with Mike @mike.kennedyfor the first time.. Sold him an AKG microphone in what was a very easy and hassle free transaction. Mike is definitely another trusted and respected person here on Basschat who I'm more than happy to recommended to other Forum members. Thanks Mike - enjoy the AKG and all the best for now. 😊 Nik
  7. Cheers @mike.kennedy Pleased the mic arrived safely and an absolute pleasure to deal with you here on the forum .. Nik
  8. I had one of these for a while and it was a pretty nice sounding cab.. Not too heavy either and quite portable too.. GLWTS
  9. Fabulous looking bass! GLWTS
  10. Beautiful looking bass and sorry to hear that you have to let it go for those reasons @Slappindabass. Nevertheless, GLWTS!
  11. AKG C1000s Microphone - SOLD . I'd like £SOLD or near offer for this please, but not being very knowledgeable about recording gear, I realise that I might be a bit out of touch when it comes to the value of this, so if you think that's the case, please message me to discuss.. So, moving on, this is either the Mk1 or MK 2 version of this extremely well known microphone, which has often been described as 'the Swiss Army Knife of mics' because its good for so many different recording situations; indoors, outdoors, vocals, acoustic instruments etc, etc. I bought it about 7 years ago for a home recording project that never really took off, so it's hardly been used in that time. However, it's still in full working order and in good condition and I'm sure it could be very useful for someone on here who needs a good all-rounder in their studio set up. Here's some blurb about the C1000s: "The C1000S is a cardioid condenser microphone that has been used for broadcast vocals, podcasting, and instrument miking. At least three generations of the mic have been manufactured under the same name. The first two used an optional internal 9V battery for field recording applications where phantom power is not available. The second of these had a battery status LED built into the power switch." Some useful links: http://recordinghacks.com/microphones/AKG-Acoustics/C-1000-S http://recordinghacks.com/reviews/tapeop/akg-c1000s/ Anyone who's interested in this will probably know far more than me about how good these Mics can be in the right hands, so if recording is your thing - please get in touch! Please send me a PM if you've any questions, or if you are local and would like to arrange a time to come and test it. Thanks for looking as ever ! 😊 Nik
  12. Behringer PEQ 2200 19" 1U Rack FX unit - SOLD . Simply put, this is a single channel, 1U 19inch rack mount, with 5 band parametric eq and variable high and low pass filters. I used to have this in my bass rig for a number of years, but hardly use it these days so it's up for sale at £SOLD or near offer. Overall, it is in very good working order and in good cosmetic condition. Here's what the blurb says: 'The PEQ2200 is an extremely effective and musical frequency correction and sound-shaping tool with center frequency, bandwidth and amplitude adjustment for each filter. Its state-variable, constant-Q filters and parallel filter configuration ensure musical operation, while overlapping frequency bands allow up to 30 dB of level correction.' Available to view/test if you're local to Littlehampton, West Sussex or I can post at buyer's expense. If you have any questions, please ask away here or send me a PM. Thanks for looking as ever. 😊
  13. Wow ... This is an unbelievable price for what I remember @51m0n describing at the South East Bass Bash one year as '.. the best cab on the planet!' GLWTS
  14. Rare as hens teeth these and stupidly loud.. Serious amount of 'heft' too. Will it run at 2 ohms?
  15. Not sure to be honest @jrixn1 I failed my GCSE in Bass Guitar FX pedals sadly.. Think my report that year said something like ' passive bass, root and fifth note plodder...will be a miracle if he ever masters how to use a Boss tuner'... 😁 But thanks for that suggestion! 😊
  16. Now SOLD elsewhere. Hi Folks Here for sale is a custom built A/B pedal /stomp box that I bought on Basschat over 5 years ago when I used to gig a lot and used 3 basses every night! Well those days are long gone sadly and this very simple but effective piece of kit is just taking up space in my gig bag not doing much. So, it's up for sale for £SOLD to anyone here who might be able to make good use of it.. It's quite similar in terms of its features to the MXR A/B box (see photos) which retails at around £65... Happy to post it at buyers expense but happy also for collection if you're local to Littlehampton.. Kettle is always on and there are still a few biscuits left in the jar - so all's good! Any questions, please ask away here or send me a PM. Thanks for looking.. 😊 Nik
  17. Very surprised this is still here! Classic, quality amp with so many excellent features, great price and very good seller.. What's not to like?? GLWTS 😊
  18. Thanks Mick, It's a great little combo and really surprised me when I got it - very full sounding, easy to use and extremely loud for its size.. The reason I've priced it as at £80 is because its a bit tatty cosmetically and could do with a little bit of tlc really.. Especially when compared to the one Geoff has just sold, which looked almost like new!
  19. SOLD elsewhere. Hi Folks Having a bit of a clear out at the moment and realised that I'm not using this rather brilliant Gibson 'The Edge' Comfort Guitar Strap since I sold my Gibson basses.. So it's up for sale and I'm looking for £SOLD including postage. These seem to retail at over £100, so I think this is priced quite fairly. This is what Gibson have to say about it: Gibson's 'The Edge' is a top quality leather Guitar strap with half an inch of Memory Foam padding for ultimate comfort. The saddlery buckle together with the detailed decorative stitching give 'the Edge' a really Texas cowboy look! Adjustable between 48" and 60" And here are some online links to it for more info: https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/gibson-edge-comfort-guitar-strap?utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2K3rBRDiARIsAOFSW_5_kPQ6wgLOK7jI40OKxPeuMaQxrblxR-hmqId1rpGKjP2PsfokGScaAkeYEALw_wcB https://www.andertons.co.uk/bass-dept/bass-guitar-strings-accessories/guitar-straps/gibson-leather-electric-comfort-the-edge-strap-black I've not really used it much to be honest and it's in excellent condition. If you'd like any more info, please ask away here or send me a PM. Thanks for looking as ever! 😊 Nik
