    Mk5's, Mk6's and a 2 x 10 combo that looks like it might be an SMX 12 band eq. with dual compressor . I'll check.

    Also have second hand spares for the earlier Trace amps, power modules,( inc bipolar bear), Transformers, preamps, speakers( inc some of the very heavy duty cast 15" speakers used in their premium cabs )  etc

    Mike , I will also PM you regarding this and your other advert later today.  Might phone you this afternoon if I can still locate your phone no

    Your Audere and TE1818t are doing Sterling Service still.

     

    Hope you are keeping well ?

  2. The looks alone give it a market (see ersatz Vox).

    The Laneys are both excellent

    In the end a 200w bass amp doesn't NeeD to fit in a pocket. Why does it need to weigh less than an ultra light cabinet.

    These ought to be strongly marketed in regions like Japan Germany USA. 

    Pity the previous Nexus range didn't set the world alight saleswise, la bam could testify about many more of them being excellent. 

  3. Too Many

    Trace Elliot Ah500x 

    Albion ABM800 (a fantastic monster of a thing - couldn't resist at £150)

    Positive Grid Bias Bass 300.

    Ashdown CTM30 

    Laney Nexus Tube (got ridiculously cheap in the Laney ebay sell off)

    Hotone Thunder Bass

    Plus two combos and too many cabs.

    This. I'm like this too, I have basses sitting in my rack that I never ever play but they would be incredibly hard to replace when seller's remorse hits. At the same time I have to admit that out of the 70+ guitars and basses I have owned there are only about three that I actually miss. And there have been a few instruments that I just wasn't ready for, and which I would appreciate a lot more now than I did when I owned them. One was a very high-end Human Base that was built for the now-gone German bass store "Mr.Bassman". They had two bass models based on regular production models, one being a Clover Slapper with some custom features and one being a Human Base Base-X neck-through with a rosewood top, Bartolini soapbars and 2-band electronics. They called it the Mr.Bassman "No Sweat" and I would love to have it back. It looked like this but lefty:

    Love that Bass.

    I do try to rotate and play EVERYTHING even my old cheapies some of which are surprisingly good.

    However I've been sidetracked by an ASM Hydrasynth Explorer, an awesome little synth that makes me sound like I can play !

    Also "had to" buy a clearance sale Laney nexus tube as I doubt we'll see their like again. Silly overkill for me, but GAS.

    This thread here, along with this here 

    convinced me that the one that I spotted  is worth a try.

     

    Of course, I have no space for it, but it feels like the right time and the right instrument at the right price. 

     

    I am tempted to link it up to a DX11 that was gifted to me - just so that I can pretend to be Jean Michael Jarre for a couple of hours....

     

     

    Keep thinking I'd like to do a synth dub reggae project as Jean Michael Jaahhhh

  6. Got myself an ASM Hydrasynth Explorer for just under £600 from Gak.

    Have disappeared into a relearning keyboards rabbit-hole since the last time I logged in here, this is an AMAZING little machine even though it's their bottom of the range cheapest. Remarkably expressive and sounds great via a bias amp bass and laney n410 (tweeter on). Just as well, can't afford a dedicated keyboard combo for a bit.

    Absolutely. The instrument seems in good shape and the price is really good.

    But, it's not the right time for me to buy anything. I have a bass that needs to go first. No point in me piling up basses if I don't use them.

    This will also give me more time to investigate the market and think about it ;)

    There's a used Sadowsky Metro Express Fretless reduced at Guitar Guitar atm. 

    Wish I could afford Yr Spector but I've just bought a Guild Starfire. A very different beast to my usual suspects but I absolutely love it.
