Please take the cabs - I need the space!

Sold in record time I'm afraid. 

Thanks for all the interest.

I have a chappie interested - will keep you posted. Tks.

Barefaced One Ten purchased from Andertons about a year ago.

8 Ohm 200W

Like new - no cover so prefer collection from Leighton Buzzard.

No peeling tolex!

Bought this last year from @blackdixon. Only gigged once and practiced with 2 or 3 times. 

It's just not getting the use and I'm trying to clear space. If All-Valve is the sound you want then this is your amp.

Collection only due to the fragile nature of valves and the weight, although light for a valve amp.

Based in Leighton Buzzard.

They say... 

WB-100- all-tube bass amplifier.

A no-compromise bass head… in a compact package.  The WB-100 has been created for demanding bass players who want to experience the unmistakeable power and authority you can only get from an all-valve head.  Need clean? Warmth? Crunch? All your tonal needs are at your fingertips. The WB-100 will reward you with a heft and a tactile response that will support your band like never before.  Unlike many other tube heads, the WB-100 is compact and easily portable. It’s hand-built here in Poland, without compromise.  With 120w of all-valve power on-tap, the WB-100 can handle any live situation.

DESCRIPTION.

Preamp:  3x ECC83 tubes (3x12AX7)

Amazing amount of rig for a great price!!!

Absolutely but no-one seems interested! I could sell the amp and bin the cabs for what I'm looking but that just feels wrong!

Hi.If you split the rig,I am interested in the 2x10.Rich 

Rich, ideally I'd like to shift the lot as a bundle. If we can give it a few days and see how we get on then I might have to split.

Do you want to PM me with an offer? Cheers,

Phil.

Ashdown Rig

Original ABM500RC with Korg digital tuner in 3U case. 500W.

Ashdown 600w ABM410H and 300W ABM210H cabs.

Sounds great but getting a bit heavy to lug about. Amp and tuner like new. Cabs showing some wear and tear but purely cosmetic.

Shout if you have any questions. I'd prefer to sell as a set but I'm open to offers.

Collection from Leighton Buzzard ideally.

Thank god for that!!!

I was so close to pushing the button on buying the amp but not really the right time yet. 

In the unlikely event that I change my mind, I'll let you know!!!

Interested in selling the Amp only please?

Interesting thread. I've been mulling over getting rid of my old Ashdown ABM 410T and 210T as I never use the 410 as it is just too damn heavy and taking up space. I normally just use the 210 but sometimes with my Barefaced One10 (practice cab) to drop to 4Ohms and drive amp better. We play pubs and clubs so nothing enormous. Thinking of either a Barefaced Twin or GR AT212 as a replacement. Light, 4Ohm and possibly louder. Thoughts?

Sold elsewhere.

PM me if you want to discuss any details. The amp is also super-light for a 2x10 combo - much lighter than my ABM210 cab.

Fender Rumble Stage 800

800w 2 x 10" combo.

Complete with footswitch. Like new as just replaced with a completely new one under warranty from Fender - still has screen cover.

The previous one refused WiFi and Bluetooth for some reason when switched on after lockdown. It was working fine up until then.

Fender were excellent in replacing even though it was outside warranty.

This one has simply been updated and tested on my Wi-Fi and not registered.

Massive flexibility with so many amp models to choose from and effects to tweak. Either from app on phone or amp itself.

I'm just not getting the use out of it.

More details here:

https://www.fender.com/en-US/bass-amplifiers/contemporary-digital/rumble-stage-800/2376100000.html

Collection in person from Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire preferred as I don't have packaging - I used it to return the old one!

Free tea/coffee and you can test it etc.!

It could also be collected from my office in Borehamwood if handier.

I'm looking £600.  The lowest I've seen is £705 from bax. This is spanking new as I said so bag yourself a bargain!

Is this still for sale please?

Has anyone experience of a Laney Nexus Tube Head?

There's one on eBaY AT £599

I had one for a while - before taking cash out of your wallet have a read-up. Apparently there was a problem with the active pick ups and pre-amp which resulted in Fender stopping production.

 

I've had mine for almost 20 years without issue. I change the batteries about every other year and it gets played regularly.  Never had an issue with it - maybe just lucky?

If I were in the market for a valve amp the CTM 300 would be where my money was spent.

Interesting - I already have the cabs to match!

Just a note on Stoneham YI200 mentioned in the thread. Picked up one that was just in the used section. Certainly no problems with clean volume whatsoever and beautifully put together. 

I was watching one on eBay recently and seriously considered it. 

Thanks everyone for your comments. Clearly it sounds like an itch worth scratching. Let's hope for a decent bonus in January as I also have my eye on a Dingwall D-Roc..........

Hiya!

I've been playing for about 30 years now on and off in original and covers bands.

I like my basses and gear in general. I have an Ashdown ABM500RC (bought new about 20 years ago), through 2x10 and 4x10 plus a Fender Rumble 800 when I want something light.

Both sound really good but I have this itch for a valve amp. A good friend pointed me at this forum for some advice.

Most of the youTube videos of newish valve amps seem to focus on how gritty and distorted they can get. I'm looking for a fat, fibrous, warm, punchy and sweet tone - not to be another Lemmy. Nothing wrong with Lemmy mind, just not the sound I'm looking for.

I mainly play with my MM Stringray or my Fender USA Zone - never really got on with 5 strings. I'm also quite fond of my Kramer which is one hell of a bass for the £200 I paid for it.

I prefer roundwound strings but do have flats on my Chowny and basic Yamaha fretless. Mostly play with fingers - crap at slapping.

The best live bass sound I've heard in many years was the bassist for Maddie & Tae who was using a Mesa Boogie Strategy. That was sweet. 

Anyhow - would any of you nice people be able to offer some advice or am I on a quest for the holy grail? 

Cheers,

Deepfat!

Hiya DF 

 If you posted your valve amp quest in 'General Discussion', I'm sure that stacks of people will have an opinion.

Good luck 👍

Thanks - will do.

If you can find a US Fender Zone - They're pretty light and versatile. Here's a picture of mine.

It's significantly lighter than my Stingray.
