Wombat

Aloha!

I’m in Saff East Lundun so anything further than Watford is “The North”... 😉

Thanks, when my kids were young they were always listening to Blinky Bill so I became Old Man Wombat and it sort of stuck.

and ‘by eckers like’ is Northern. Not English 😉

Aloha!

Hi!

Aloha!

Welcome from over The Pond!

There was one at Bromley North but it closed as Ascape hoovered up all the business. I wonder if they could/would consider reopening?

There is Pirate at Croydon and I’m not sure if Scream has gone. There is a place at Chatham Dockyard which is quite easy to get to even though it’s a bit further away. And Antenna at Crystal Palace. Nothing I’d call ‘local’ I’m afraid :-(. Damn you guy who sold Ascape to Screwfix!

Aloha!

Really sorry but it’s been a mad week and I’m not going to be able to get along tonight. Do share other dates either when there is a band playing or if people just fancy getting together for a few sherbets..

So long as I can turn up to 11!

Maybe we should all meet up at a jam night and go to the Poppadom then!

A band with like (just) 5 basses would blow minds at an open mic. Sounds brilliant!

Cool. I have a mad week so I’ll try and get down for the 1st half

Welcome, another Bromleyight here! We should start a club!

As others have said I’m also happy to help out with inspiration, ideas for open mics etc.

ill try and get down to the Holmesdale too. What time are you starting?

Thanks Jakester. I agree. I love the sound but just want to get a smaller car where these beauties won’t fit in the boot!

Will do Agilefrog.

This is the ‘one before the current’ BH500.  Made just before the lunch-box size heads became popular during the ‘size isn’t everything’ wars.

It’s a very versatile rig.  The amp has three memory pre-sets so great if you are using multiple basses (I have fretted on mem 1, fretless on mem 2 and then use mem 3 at the open mic so no one shags up my settings!).

It incorporates a 5 string tuner and mute function and a few ‘toys’ like TweeterTone, Spectracomp and TubeTone to play with.

Selling with a BC210 2x10 cab and a BC 212 2x12 cab so you have the choice of ‘10’s’ or ‘12’s’ to suit your mood/style or a great big rig that is nearly as tall as you are! The cabs are both 8 Ohm and really light for the size, only c24kg each. Fairly easy lift for cab in one hand and head in the other.  Just mind the doorways!

Condition is ‘used but cherished’ so expect the odd ding in the Tolex which I’ve tried to show in the photos (below) but nothing that affects how anything works.

Unfortunately I’m just not getting the use out of the rig.  I’m only playing small places now – I’m mostly using the 12’s and I’ve only used both cabs twice in the last two years! – so am downsizing.

There is a lot about these rigs on t’t internet but here is a promo vid made by TC..

Because of the size I’m afraid it’s collection only from Bromley, Kent but willing to travel a reasonable distance.

There was one on eBeach recently with just the 12’s for £330 but I’m willing to let the whole rig go, including Speakons and power lead, for £300. Still not particularly wanting to split and would only be interested in trading for a 'lunch box' amp.  I don’t have any covers but the rig is kept indoors in a smoke free centrally heated house.  I've photoshopped the pics together to save posting loads, I've not doctored them!
