I was using the XLS 1000 with an Avalon U5 for a bit. A highly recommended piece of kit that is super light and loud (you can bridge into 4ohms as well for an incredible amount of volume)......................... and it has a cool blue light!!

I can't get on with broader necks. Such a shame it looks like a cracking bass.

The Iceni looks great but not sure about the P-bass esque neck

Thanks Not really looking for a sale at the moment. Trades are welcome though.

SOLD

I have one of these and I can vouch for the sheer quality of these units. The receiver is tiny as well and could easily be mounted on a pedal board. All my band use older UHF wireless systems and are plagued by interference and drop outs. My stageclix never misses a beat with the added bonus of never having to worry about batteries. £300 is a steal!

On Hold

A friday morning bump

Review here of the Avalon with a poweramp [url="http://www.avalondesign.com/review25.html"]http://www.avalondes...m/review25.html[/url] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4][color=#000000]"We preferred TONE positions 1 and 3 for fingerstyle playing and position 2 for slapping. Position 4 sounded the flattest of the EQ curves, and the rolled-off bass positions 5 and 6 might be useful in especially boomy live situations, or when you need to really cut through a recording. In short, all the TONE position sounded useful given the right circumstances."[/color][/size][/font]

There are 6 basic tone control presets and I've not had any problems with EQ on gigs. I do run a VT bass pedal in front of it sometimes as well which would be ideal if your concerned with having some more flexible control. If your concerned check out the manual here and that will give you a solid idea of the tone shaping presets - http://www.avalondesign.com/pdfs/u5.pdf

Too expensive? I'm open to offers but i'd rather not split it.

Price drop £550

Edit: £600 including courier

Having recently acquired a new amp head I'm now in the situation of having this spare. It's an exceptional setup. The Avalon U5 sounds great and is considered one of the best DI's on the market. Coupled with the Drivecore you have a clean and powerful rig that really brings out the tone of your instrument. You can find details and specs here [url="http://www.crownaudio.com/usa/xls-drivecore.html"]http://www.crownaudi...-drivecore.html[/url] [url="http://www.avalondesign.com/instrudi.html"]http://www.avalondes...m/instrudi.html[/url] You'll also find some clips of the U5 here - [url="http://basstasters.com/preamps/Avalon_U5.html"]http://basstasters.c.../Avalon_U5.html[/url] Weight wise the Crown is about 8.6 pounds and the U5 is 12 pounds. Altogether your looking at a very manageable weight of just over 20 pounds with case. This is all new equipment and is still in warranty. It all comes rack mounted in a Gator case. I will also provide a speakon cable that will allow you to run the Crown bridged mono which will give you 700w at 8ohms and 1100w at 4 ohms. Trust me it's plenty loud. I've put a fair bit of money into putting this together along with the cost of the rack ears, case and specialist speakons. Therefore i'd be looking to sell for £550 couriered UK PM with any questions.

Thanks Chris, it looks a little orange in some of the pictures but is a lot redder in the flesh

Just realised i have to state a trade value with the new forum rules. Let's say around the £1000 mark.

For trade my Modulus M-92 (built in 1992) in superb condition. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Extra Long Scale: 35” [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Nut Width: 1 5/8[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Width at 12th Fret: 2 3/16[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Weight: 8.5 lbs[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Bridge: Gotoh 201-style cast chrome plated bridge[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Tuning: Gotoh-style Chrome plated machine.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Beautiful bass, a great example of a rare Modulus production model that pre dates the Modulus Flea. I love the 35" Scale and i'm only looking to move it on because of a recent acquisition of a Dingwall that has the 37" lowB. Comes with a Modulus hard case. Of course the graphite neck is extremely precise and trouble free.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]PM me with any trade offers. I'll consider anything.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/font][/color]

This used to be mine and I can vouch for the quality of it. To be honest I think Pete is under selling the head a little bit on his thread It's an excellent piece of equipment and Pete is an absolute gentleman to deal with.
