[quote name='Etienne' post='413248' date='Feb 18 2009, 04:29 PM']Hello all,

I bought this a few weeks ago from Essential Tension to use on my regular DI-only gigs- After a good few hours in use, and despite being a very useful bit of kit (particularly as a headphone amp), I've decided that it's not for me- I'm just after a different sound. This is one of the later models with the -10dB input pad.

The pedal is in super condition both inside and out, and will come with a 9V battery fitted. The box is a little tatty cosmetically, but fine otherwise. No manual included, but it's easily downloadable on EBS' site.

I'd like £175 (inc. UK P+P) for this, which is what I paid for it.

Paypal or bank transfer accepted. Sorry, but no trades!.

I can post photos if needed, but I'm sure everyone knows what this looks like...

Thanks for looking!

I got a budget of £150 for this, sorry... it's probabaly not enough, but it does buy you a free bump.

Also, the phrase "worth it" is very subjective.
Someone on a low wage might find the price of a USA Fender hard to justify and *not worth it* ...but if the same guy wins the lottery the *worth* of any bass might be less dictated by the buying price and more on preference.

[quote name='gingerfish' post='412402' date='Feb 17 2009, 08:08 PM']Ok I have a Warwick Vampyre SN 4 string.

I haven't had this too long and all though it is amazing to play and the sound is unlike any other bass I've played, it isn't getting played as I much favour my 'vette 5 stringer. Condition is pretty much mint only one or two little scratches but that is all.

Open to offers for 24 hours then will put up a solid price. Really not convinced on the market price of there at the moment so will consider all SENSIBLE offers.

I'm interested in this, but I *REALLY* have no idea of it's value... A quick search for prices reveals rockbass versions at £500 through BO's at £1500 to NT's at £2900.. not much of a help in determining a reasonable offer price.
Help me buddy.

PS Is it in Sheffield? I'd love to hear it, and since I'm in Sheff... ?

where are you based buddy?

Seconded... I gotta say that trying to sell something by threatening to put the price *up*, especially when it's not selling at the current offered price doesn't work for me.

However, good luck with the sale buddy, ...I'm not surprised that it's got interest, it's a VERY beautiful bass. And if it's of any interest to anyone, it's very close to *my* idea of it's value.

Jorg has changed designs over the years, sometimes for reasons of availability of parts, or cost effectiveness, ...and the changes haven't always been an improvement in everyones eyes. (more recent Schroeder cabs use some MDF rather than ply, which I felt was a step backwards in a boutique cab, though others will argue...)

So don't judge this badly because it's an older version. Enough people bought the early ones and were all more than happy.

Good luck with the sale.

Well I'll be having a punt on the auction no doubt...
If it's got a "W" on it I'm in.

A man of few words is THOM.

especially when supported by a link up a cul-de-sac!

Edit: Well, in fairness, its working now. Maybe it hadn't started when I looked earlier? Dunno, but that does look amazing... It looks like the T2000 Terminator in bass form. Lovely. I take it back...

[quote name='Bassmanc' post='392416' date='Jan 27 2009, 09:18 AM']Nice one Andy - I like your style!
What else do you have FOR SALE??? [/quote]

I'm going to be posting a budget "For Sale" on an Alembic F-1X preamp. It won't be a freebie... But it will be undeniably cheap. The winning bidder will have the cojones to make an offer of a very reasonable price.

[quote name='steve-soar' post='392233' date='Jan 26 2009, 10:42 PM']I had one back in 1990 and it was a good piece of kit.
All the things that GA says have happened to his, happened to mine.
Will you take £35 for it? [/quote]



NICE ONE STEVE!!! YOU ARE THE WINNER! If you Hilight the first posting my secret message will be revealed! (hence the *game* comments) White text on white background.

I just wanted someone who actually wanted this enough to make an offer, and I'll GIVE IT AWAY at the price of postage!

Steve, PM your address and I'll send you a price for P&P once I've sent it. I don't imagine it will be much.


Nice one mate!

Well that second pic down is just so sexy.
I reckon the scratch plate change is a no-brainer, but the result will be a helluva good looking bass! And if it sounds half as good as it looks it's a winner....

Well done buddy. I'm quite envious!

no-one? When I hi-lite the price I expect you might be sorry...

[quote name='Gwilym' post='391298' date='Jan 25 2009, 10:18 PM']all PMs replied to...

EDIT: this is now on hold pending payment/collection.[/quote]



Dammit! I was holding out, hoping you'd relent and give it away for my £160 offer! Ah well. To the victor the spoils! I'm glad for you that it's sold mate. My loss.

Andy

Interest, but no offers yet.
I like this game... it requires someone be bold enough to make an actual offer.

lol

PS It looks like this. [url="http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/kohsuke_gif/imgs/d/7/d7ba4bff.jpg"]http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/kohsuke_gif/.../7/d7ba4bff.jpg[/url]

Hi,
I have a very old (possibly 20 years-ish, I estimate) but fully functioning Nady 201 VHF wireless for sale...
There are a couple of things wrong with it... One is that it has lost the battery cover for the transmitter bit. The battery doesn't fall out and a bit of tape would secure it further. I used it for about 4 years without the cover and never popped a batt.
...and the wall-wart power supply has the earth pin broken from it. However, it's not as bad as it sounds because it is just a plastic tag and the supply was unearthed to begin with.
But I would suggest a new power supply would be the best option. It's an old machine, and does colour the sound a bit, but not enough that you can't kinda E.Q it back.
It also gets through batteries pretty quickly. I used two rechargables and swapped them over halfway through the night (after about an hour) But rechargable battery technology has come on since those days so who knows?... A new alkaline batt would probably last about 4-5 hours.

Right, thats all the bad news out the way. On the bright side, it works. ...It has a battery in it. ...It will isolate you from electric shocks (since you're not connected) ...and more importantly, I don't want much for it.

I would prefer collection from around Sheffield area, or I will have to add the cost of P&P to it...


Good luck. Andy

[size=1][color="#FFFFFF"]yes I know I ommitted a price. Cos it's free to someone who will actually use it, not just sell it for profit.[/color][/size]

[quote name='budget bassist' post='388833' date='Jan 22 2009, 05:58 PM']That first one looks ridiculous, and the wood on the neck looks brand new... Wasn't he asking a ridiculous price too? I mean it's not even playable...[/quote]


Ah but by the same token Half a Damian Hirst cow isn't edible, and can't even be milked, but if you think like that you probably missed the point of the thing.

The aim of a lot of art is to start a debate. And if you enter a discussion about wether or not a thing is art, then you have probably and inadvertantly validated it as art.

Ironic? Not if that's the intention.

[quote name='~tl' post='390152' date='Jan 24 2009, 01:15 AM']Hmm, interesting. Any idea on the depth of that thing? All the 1U class-D amps I've come across (albeit in a fairly limited search) are stupidly deep, and hence won't fit in to a standard rack case...[/quote]


well I own a Powersoft, and they are insanely deep (only 1u high) BUT it does fit in a standard rack. It sticks out into the back lid area, but still fits. Dunno if that's any use to anyone? I guess it couldn't hurt to be careful of the depth, if you have a rack already.

You say that the pre - power set up isn't well served... but the choices of pres out there is staggering IMO. And as for power amps, well since just about any PA amp is suitable as the power stage behind a 'bass specific' pre, ...you can find them everywhere in all sizes, shape, wattage, and weight.
Easy peasy. It's great having the flexibility...

[quote name='Brother Jones' post='390153' date='Jan 24 2009, 01:20 AM']Completely bladdered IMHO. [/quote]


lol you're welcome to your opinion, and like my opinion, it is pefectly valid.

Apologies to the for hijacking. I'm not sure with hindsight that a for sale thread is the right place for a bit of lighthearted banter about the relative merits of gear.

[quote name='ped' post='390143' date='Jan 24 2009, 12:50 AM']Yes you are right and I plus the millions of people included in your sweeping statement are all wrong, ignorant and not as cool or talented as you :0)

ped[/quote]


Lol ...mockery! the last refuge of the criminally incorrect. We all know that I'm not being funny. Many thousands of people drive Ford Fiestas. ...Are they as good as Rolls Royce? ...Well no, that would be INSANE.
We Both agree on that I'm sure. I make no apologies to the people who bought Line 6. ..but really, you should have saved harder and bought a better piece of gear. Simple as.


Ped, I respect you, as a dude, ..but I own both. My humble, easily ignored opinion, that the Aggie is better than any line 6 gear by a magnitude of 10, is not open to debate. It might be different to your opinion. But it's my considered and honest opinion.
