  1. Hi Muzz Is the 2m speakon to jack still available? If so, I'm happy to take it.. Thanks Nik
  2. Played through one of these last week and it sounded great! GLWTS
  3. Beautiful example! I've always especially liked the Custom models with a PB serial number for some reason; they have an additional mystique to them. GLWTS, but I suspect as others have already said, you may end up regretting it.
  4. Just bought a TechAmp 115 cab from Gareth. Apart from the cab being really good - exactly as he described it (and more in fact), it's always a pleasure dealing with Gareth because he really knows his stuff when it comes to basses and bass gear and you can count on the fact that the gear he's selling has always been really well looked after! Add to that his excellent comms, all-round friendly vibes and his long-standing reputation here on Basschat as one of the 'good guys'; trust me when I say that dealing with Gareth is always a positive experience. And to paraphrase him, he's a Basschat legend and highly recommended! What more could you ask for? Thanks Gareth! 😊
  5. I have one of these - brilliant cab and really amazing low frequency response too! GLWTS
  6. [b]NOW SOLD - thanks for looking![/b]
  7. Herbie Flowers show was amazing by the way... Much less amazing, is a BUMP for these two unloaded JBL 12" cabs..
  8. [quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1487619961' post='3241298'] I always take two basses to a gig. Both are tuned up and ready to go. You never know if you may need a spare. [/quote] +1 Or sometimes, i need both a 4 string and a 5 string in a gig, depending on the set list.
  9. I've had a think about this and, because it's such a brilliant amp, I'm going to withdraw it for now.
  10. Great amp! I've had two of these before and always enjoyed using them - especially with 5 string basses as they have a special EQ voicing for basses with a low B. GLWTS
  11. BUMP 😊 No love for this low-frequency generator then?
  12. Hi all, Just a quick update to those who've pm'd me about the BassBase. I'm out of action pretty much all day today but will respond to your messages later this evening or tomorrow morning. Thanks and sorry for the delay. Nik

  14. [quote name='W1_Pro' timestamp='1487489949' post='3240090'] Lovely looking bass. GLWTS. [/quote] Yep, +1 to that, it's a beautiful looking bass!
  15. Sunday morning, just about to watch Herbie Flowers 'Jazz Breakfast' at The Brighton Dome, kind of BUMP ! 😊
  16. [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1487462069' post='3240048'] Wonderful drummer. Very sad news. [/quote] +1 RIP
  17. Got to say as well, that this amp coupled with the SWR Triad that I'm selling, was my main gig rig for the last 5 or 6 years and although heavy to carry around, it sounded bloody marvellous in most of the local venues I played in. I took it to Germany last year for a festival and it was great there too..
  18. Very true John! This amp has outperformed every other amp I've had over the last 12 years (bar the Ampeg V4BH I bought from The Beedster), including Eden, Markbass, TE, TechAmp and most recently, a Thunderfunk 550, which I know you rate very highly. It's also the most well made amp I've had too. If I wasn't moving house soon and didn't need the space, I'd probably keep this.
  19. Great thread this and good to see some love on here for The Monochrome Set and for Andy Warren, who I used to also enjoy watching as a player when he was in the early incarnation of Adam & The Ants,circa 1977. Pleasantly surprised also to see The God Machine mentioned, whom my ex-wife used to manage back in the early 90s. Our son Jimmy is named after their bass player, Jimmy Fernandez who sadly died of a brain hemorrhage, which brought the band's career to a stop far too soon! These days my musical tastes have mellowed somewhat, and one band I absolutely love are The Mummers. If you like Bacharach, Carole King, Scott Walker, Todd Rundgren etc, then you should like this band.

  20. [b]*** WITHDRAWN ***[/b] Hi Folks Continuing my new year clear-out, here's another favourite piece of kit of mine; it's my [b]Hughes and Kettner Bassbase 600 bass amp[/b], which comes with the all-important [b]Footswitch[/b] and a [b]3U Stagg rack case [/b]to transport it around in. I bought this here on Basschat from dougal back in 2010 I believe, and have used it consistently ever since,and it's done over 250 gigs in that time and never let me down. It's only ever given me great tone, a lot of power and plenty of headroom! The other great thing about this amp, is that it covers just about everything that you need, having two separate EQ channels, a tube pre-amp which really does add some grind to your tone if you want it, blendable FX channel, notch filter, bi-amp facility, DI and tuner out, separate headphone volume control and a mute switch - it really is quite brilliant! Apart from one technical issue which i'm going to detail below, it's in excellent working condition and I'm looking for [b]£195 or near offer[/b] for the amp, footswitch and rack case. By the way, the tube in it is the original Hughes & Kettner supplied 12AX7. [b]On/off switch[/b] As I say, the amp is working perfectly, but just recently the on/off switch has stopped working so that it's set to a permanent 'on' setting. I've got round this by plugging the power lead into an extension cable that has it's own on/off switch, and that allows me to control switching the amp on and off safely. I'm not sure how much this would cost to fix, but I'm estimating [b]£40[/b] and have taken that into account when setting the selling price, which is as follows: Amp = £160 Footswitch = £30 Rack Case = £30 If the switch was working, then I'd have priced the amp at about £200 [b]Photos[/b] [attachment=238411:Bassbase 600 & Peavey 115.jpg] [attachment=238405:Bassbase 600 a.jpg] [attachment=238406:Bassbase 600 b.jpg] [b]Links[/b] See here for more info: Manual: [url="https://medias.audiofanzine.com/files/hughes-kettner-bassbase-600-manual-473007.pdf"]https://medias.audio...nual-473007.pdf[/url] Video: A German retailer's video about the amp: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=OGq3XaR6kWs"]http://www.youtube.c...d&v=OGq3XaR6kWs[/url] [b]Footswitch[/b] When I bought the amp, it didn't have what they call the Bassbase stageboard for switching between EQ channels, activating FX loop etc, so I bought another almost identical Hughes & Kettner footswitch, and had it modified to work with this amp and it's great because it gives you even more versatility. This cost me about £45 to do in total, being £15 for the switch on Ebay and £30 to get it modified by my local tech.

  21. [quote name='bassbloke' timestamp='1487402922' post='3239491'] Hi. Would like to take this off you. Are you able to meet part way if i cover your fuel costs? Say somewhere around Petworth? [/quote] Hi there, I've had a bit of interest already in the Triad, but have sent you a PM. Nik
  22. [size=4]Hi Folks[/size] [size=4]Like most of my bass gear, I bought these two [b]JBL 12"[/b] cabinets here on Basschat! I got them from one of our resident speaker cab design experts, Stevie, who I hope won't mind if I use some of the original text from his ad of 4 years ago... [/size]I bought them to put together a cheap, lightweight rig but I haven't used them for over a year now, so it's time to move them on. I'm looking for [b]£25 o.n.o.[/b] for each cab, not including p&p.. [b]Description[/b] So[b], t[/b]his is a pair of [b]JBL bass cabinets[/b] originally designed to take the JBL 2206 600W driver but they will take other drivers as well. Most of them were used in installs as far as I know. These can, of course, be used for PA but actually make a nice single 12 or 2 x 12 bass system for someone prepared to fit a suitable 12" driver which really isn't to difficult a job. They’re fitted with banana inputs and Speakons. [size=4]These are compact and fairly lightweight cabs (about 10kg) and I used them with this driver:[/size] [url="http://www.lean-business.co.uk/eshop/eminence-beta-8-8ohm-8-225watt-speaker-p-760.html?gclid=Cj0KEQiA25rFBRC8rfyX1vjeg7YBEiQAFIb3byaorhjGzjnOzEo9p6MZO0USkzhZ_kHuRMFn1TLujaYaAl4H8P8HAQ"]http://www.lean-busi...ujaYaAl4H8P8HAQ[/url] And, used with a Yamaha BT500h digiatl Class D head, it made for a really good and relatively inexpensive lightweight rig!
