    Fantastic cab, small, lightweight and powerful. Paired it with everything from all-tube Ampeg to Mesa to EA Doubler and it worked great each time, and that's with both electric and upright instruments. Bought used from Bass Direct, listing and photo below for this actual unit https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/EA_Wizzy_E.html, selling for what I paid minus a few quid! Happy to courier Will post new pics ASAP Cheers Chris

    Great amp for both electric and upright players, and as the name suggests, especially those gigging both on the same stage. Bought new from Bass Direct in July ahead of a load of gigs that were not supported by decent FoH, but house sale and move mean I need to clear out some stuff. Link to Bass Direct listing https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/EA_Doubler.html Also comes with hard case meaning i'm happy to courier this. Note it fits in a gig bag pocket also More pics to come later. Cheers Chris

    @Clarky ha ha, yes that would be my response also! I'm really not sure what the retail price was on these but think it was close to £2000 around 10 years back so, yes, bargain! Should add that I'd welcome tryouts on it Chez Beedster 👍

    Happy new year BCers! An upcoming house move and possible change of job means I'm moving on some of my bass gear to clear some space and bring in some cash, in large part because I'll be losing my Manshed Studio where all my music gear is stored as part of the house move (in fact I'll only be left with a double bass, an acoustic guitar, a mandolin and a fiddle, which is going to be a shock but is actually quite a nice place to be). First up a Mo Clifton EUB, bloody lovely thing, possibly the most ergonomic and double bass-like of all the EUBs available (I've owned most of the £1000+ models and the Clifton is certainly the easiest to set up to feel like you'r own acoustic double bass in terms of where and how the instrument's body works with the player's). I won't go into lengthy details now because I suspect that everyone looking at this post will know the Clifton's reputation and/or quality. There is a Realist Copperhead https://www.realistacoustic.com/realist_flavors.php under bass-side foot. Please post below if there are further details required. For the above reasons I'm looking for a quick sale hence listing at £800, it owes me close to £1000 (I bought it from a session player at the end of lockdown when we had a load of gigs and my DB was having a few problems. It's in lovely condition and comes with stand and case (I'll post pics of those later). It's one of the early ones built with premium woods and is a joy to look at and play. I'd prefer collection from Canterbury but may be able to travel to hand over in a couple of weeks, Omicron permitting. I won't be able to courier or post it. Sadly not trades or PX. I'll also be listing a new model EA Doubler and Wizzy 12 which work beautifully with this instrument and with electric bass, as well as a couple of fretless Fender-alikes and a lot of electric and double bass parts of the next few days as I slowly work through the contents of the ManShed Cheers Chris

    That resonates with me, you're gonna take a hit on the cash and even if you trade it we be for an amp that WILL NOT SOUND AS GOOD (but be a bit easier to carry)
  9. Beedster
    Hey mate, can I take those? PM me details? Cheers. Chris
  10. Beedster
    You?
  11. Beedster
    The reality of selling on here is that you do, gear that's fully described and detailed tends to sell far more quickly than gear that's not 👍
  12. Beedster
    That's the quite sobering reality of buying new gear. Trading is often a better bet than selling in this situation.

    Can't remember the last time I used amps and cabs by the same manufacturer for any period of time (until recently, see below). Only two combinations that lasted were with Mesa M-Pulse head and powerhouse cabs, and Ampeg SVT-II and an SVT-15 cab. Otherwise I tended to find that most heads I liked sounded better through cabs made by other manufacturers. But having stopped gigging and doing the occasional pickup on electric and DB, I picked up a Euphonic Audio Doubler and Whizzy 12 and bloody hell, they are a million times better together than I thought would be the case. What I assumed would be a huge compromise for size and I/P options (two channels with mic and PUP inputs for DB plus phantom power) has turned out to be a very good buy for tone. Assumed it would be good for DB, had no idea it would be so damn good for electric. Punches like a heavyweight, moves around like a flyweight 👍

    You're not really giving it a great sell mate. This is one great amp. Tone wise it's to all intents a powerful B-15, whilst doing a lot of what an SVT can do without the back-breaking weight. To put it in context, with the right cab and EQ this will give a Mesa BB750 a run for its money, with IMO the edge on tone. There's a thread on here about what amp to replace an SVT. THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    At £300 they're a bit of a hit, but I appear to have major GAS, and my current Lenzner guts are starting to feel their age?

    Damn, a truly wonderful guy, one of the few humans with whom I was able to communicate telepathically Beedster: Hey Martin....... MB1: You want me to reopen one of your For Sale threads don't you? Beedster: Thanks Martin He bought a rig from me a while back and there were complications involving, you guessed it, a courier, and we had a chat on the phone. What a bloody lovely guy, bloody lovely. Great sense of humour and a great attitude. Every time we PM'd since I could hear his voice and his accent as I read his words. Up there in the great gig (and even better gear forum) in the sky now mate. I'll raise a glass or two to you this evening, as will a lot of musicians in the UK and beyond who you touched with passion and humour. Sincere condolences to those you've left behind Chris

    Steroids

    Good for you mate, no view on the basses, but shout if ww can help. DB is of course the monarch of instruments
  19. Beedster
    Thanks for the comment re my two FLs folks. To add to the above I much prefer a good wooden FL neck to graphite, but if you need to play FL with low and reliable action, the latter is a winner every time, especially if you're moving around a lot and temperature/humidity are issues. TF is a great instrument but the retail price is ludicrous, you can build a bass of equal quality using off the shelf or custom components from the likes of Warmoth for far less money, the only downside being the resale value is rarely as high.
  20. Beedster
    Lovely, thanks, dare I ask how much you paid? Perhaps PM me if you'd prefer?
  21. Beedster
    Very nice, could you talk me through the Shuker neck?
  22. Beedster
    Could you not offer it for sale here as well?
  23. Beedster
    Duplicate post?
  24. Beedster
    Both very nice and cheap by the standards of similar quality basses at retail price. Need a hybrid of the two however
  25. Beedster
    Funny thing but the P/J thing has the same effect on me. I like JJ and I like P, so @walshy will (I hope) soon be building me a JPJ body so that I only need the one bass.
