Not mine, nor nowt to do with me but as it looks a bit of a BIN bargain, I'll not be urinating on anyones bonfire if I flag it up. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Peavey-210txv-bass-top-cab_W0QQitemZ180395256702QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_MusicalInstr_Amplifiers_RL?hash=item2a00652b7e&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Peavey-210txv-bass-t...id=p3286.c0.m14[/url] He also has an unloaded 1x15 cab for the same price; handy if you have a 15" driver spare and you are collecting the 2x10 any way!

As you say it could be one or the other so if you have access to another cab and amp it'll be a doddle to establish if it is amp or cab but if it is the amp then a repair should be done under warranty.

I have a Tech 21 Trademark 60 1x12 guitar combo that I use in the house (keep the input/drive gain right down, scoop the mids and use the output gain for master volume) and I have to say that the tone at house volume is superb (even with a couple of guitarists giving electro-acoustics a good thrashing)! I am under no delusion that as soon as I turned up the wick I'd lose the thick warm punchy tone as it turned into overdrive but at this volume I bet it would record great with a quality mic or with the Tech 21 balanced DI. As you say, sometimes the strangest things just work!

Nope, the aesthetics are lost on me, that looks U.G.L.Y. Sorry! Though it does explain why it is in pristine condition... the owner was too embarrassed to take it out.

[quote name='andy.' post='562383' date='Aug 6 2009, 11:17 PM']Thanks for all your suggestions but sadly none of them are what im looking for. So I have decided to get a "normal" bass with 20/22 frets and keep my bass with the 24 frets. Best of both world i think! Im thinking of getting a Lakland Joe Osborn. I have tried a skyine and loved it but im going to go for the US model. My only consern is that the skyline was REALLY quite. With all the nobs up full and the amp up loud it was still nowhere near as loud as it should have been. The tech ran it through something that tells what the output is and he said that it was no where near as high as it should be, he didnt know why this was ether. Im wondering if this is a problem that all Lakland basses have or if this bass had something wrong with it. Does anyone know about this kind of thing? Thanks Andy,[/quote] I owned a Skyline JO4 and there was nothing wrong with the output; it was comparable to a USA Jazz and an EMG equipped Squier I had at the time (very different basses but I am talking perceived output from the 3), it also stacked up similar to my other fully active basses... I assume you had a duffer!

[quote name='alexharvay' post='561712' date='Aug 6 2009, 09:20 AM']If you're selling on this forum then it's probably a good idea to let mods/admin take a look.[/quote] Never thought for one minute it might be generated from an ad on here. It looks the typical eBay / Gumtree scammer communication.

Stick it up for sale on here, ebay and the local ads and someone somewhere will take it if the price is right, no idea what you are selling so I've no idea if £200 or £2000 is fair! If you receive any further messages like the one you have mentioned, just remember; 'if it sounds too good to be true... it is!' and then walk away. Unless you do the right level of research, you may miss the odd bargain or missed opportunity but you'll save in the long run by not being ripped off.

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='561701' date='Aug 6 2009, 09:07 AM']Ah, this has got me thinking about my old Trace 1153, now. I loved that cab... am I right in thinking it didn't have a horn?[/quote] I had one of those (or was it the same one MB?) and it didn't have a horn.

[quote name='Marcus' post='512331' date='Jun 12 2009, 05:48 PM']Another Jazz bass gets passed about between me and John !! This time I take ownership of my "old" EMG equipped Squier - Welcome home !!! As good a Jazz Bass as I've owned under a Grand !![/quote] ...and back to me again!

Bought a mini-mixer off Nik (with a free 4 track thrown in) and a stress free transaction with 'superb' packaging... even Parcelpap couldn't have damaged anything with Nik's packing. Cheers mate.

[quote name='Musky' post='559786' date='Aug 3 2009, 11:02 PM']I think the issue isn't that Ray hasn't received the goods, but hasn't received the standard ebay (and presumably paypal) confirmation emails. Personally I always contact the seller after buying something just to confirm my address. I wouldn't think twice about contacting the guy.[/quote] My posting above should have been clearer I suppose; I didn't get any communications from the seller or ebay either. I got my receipt from paypal to say that I had paid, which I did regardless of the fact that I hadn't received an invoice!

I bought a Cheap Trick album over a week ago and no communication what-so-ever, despite emails to them after 3/5/7 days; so I lodged a Paypal dispute and within the hour I had contact explaing they had been in hospital (what from the moment the listing ended till 1 hour after dispute initiation), WOW what a coincidence... and very odd that someone using that same account had listed another 20+ albums at various stages that week! I'm not saying you should lodge a dispute (you can't any way for 7 days) but as has been stated, friendly and firm (in that order) often gets results but I wouldn't worry just yet.

[quote name='bassman2790' post='559526' date='Aug 3 2009, 07:00 PM']A lot of people have said that they have driven their old Peavey amps down to 2 ohms without any problems at all.[/quote] Lots of the Peavey bass amp range will go down to 2 ohms, so as you say an 8 + 4 ohm pair of cabs (nominal 2.7 ohm) wouldn't trouble many of the Peavey range BUT I'd check that your amp does 2 ohms. As has been stated most of the Peavey 2x10's were 4 ohm (especially the early ones) but I'm sure I've seen some of the later 2x10's were available as an optional 8 ohm... again check. Just to throw into the mix; I ran an 8ohm Peavey 4x10TX and a 4 ohm Peavey 2x10TX with a GK 800RB and the way that the GK is set up you could only use the 100w output with an 8ohm cab. This meant I had the 100w (full range) output running the 8 ohm 4x10 and the 300w (full range) output running into the 4 ohm 2x10. In theory NOT the best way to do it but the only way that I could utilise both cabs with the amp that I had at that time. I ran that rig with no PA support in a (loud) pub rock band and I had no problems being heard or with drivers complaining. So long as you follow a few simple rules you'd be surprised what can work.

Hmmm... I remember following your (and others) trials and tribulations when searching for the ultimate affordable, transportable, giggable, lightweight rig and you arrive at the same conclusion. In the last couple of years I chased my tail, with among others; Markbass SA450 & LMK amps; EBS & Tech Soundsystems cabs (all neo) and what am I using? Thunderfunk and a pair of Aggie 1x12's, very traditional, very old school but I am happy! I'm not criticising 'all' of the lightweight gear out there but I just couldn't get the whump out of any of the stuff that I had. I'd still like to find a cab or cabs that will bridge that tone/weight divide but time will tell.

'I bought this believing it to be a 59'... In which case probably for a wedge of cash; so you'll be gutted then! Among other things (a new registered seller), I'm loving the fact there is no neck plate.
