Hi Basschatters,

I have an Ashdown Superfly Head + 2x10 cab in mint condition with boxes and cases etc. This will appeal to most bass players who either don't drive, are having back problems or looking for their first rig. Sounds amazing with no preamp settings, flat alone is incredible tonewise. Both Cost me £500 each until there was some issue with the superfly head, something about chinese components, perhaps someone can give info. It led to their withdrawal but I've never had any issues with mine, I enjoy the british quality of Ashdown. I'm selling both for [color="#FF0000"]£350 collected from Carlisle area [/color]

Reason I'm selling:

Got a high end Genz Benz 750 with Neo 2x12 Cab recently and won't be needing an amp for a very long long time.



DETAILS OF CAB:

Developed specifically to partner the Superfly programmable and Little Giant compact bass amp heads, the Superfly cabinets use ultra-light weight Neodymium-magnet drive units to achieve a dynamic, articulate sound, coupled with previously unimaginable portability. Just sling the amp over your shoulder, pick up a cabinet in one hand and your bass in the other ? and you're on the way to the gig!

Power Handling 550W
Speaker Configuration 2 x 10 plus horn
Impedance 4 ohms
H x W x D (mm) 590 x 465 x 345
Weight (kg) 20

DETAILS OF HEAD:

Ashdown Engineering’s extraordinary new Superfly combines a sophisticated programmable bass preamplifier and a powerful 500 Watts RMS power section in a compact bass amp head that weighs in at just 10 pounds. A product of the innovative Ashdown Labs development programme, the Superfly is gifted with a powerful, authoritative sound with a strong, controlled bottom end and clear, precise highs, all courtesy of an advanced digital power amp section.

Programming the preamplifier is an intuitive and straightforward process. The user can store 69 programmes comprising of input level, 7-band graphic equalisation and compression settings, and switch them via any MIDI-compatible pedal to achieve an exceptional degree of live performance control on stage.

Cheers

Oli

Hi Basschatters,

Up for sale is a mint condition bass I recently traded with a fellow Basschatter - a U.S.A Charvel Star Bass (Blast from the Past). A brand most famous in the 80's with the likes of Eddie Van Halen, W.A.S.P and the Scorpions, plus other glam rock/ hair metal bands. Reason I'm selling is because I'm saving up for a high end amplifier.

This one is Ferrari Red with two Seymour Duncan Bassline P/J pickups. The body is Alder for a light weight and warm precision tone with plenty of clarity and the neck is smooth Eastern Hard Rock maple (no laquer, no satin VERY fast with low string action) with a rosewood fretboard adding to the warmth. Charvel are now distributed by Fender as opposed to Jackson; and have a similar build quality to fender. These are built like a tank and originally retailed at over a grand and are limited edition but are old, old stock explaining its price. Any style can be played on this it's very versatile (common theme in my collection ). The bass has a badass II bridge - never used one of these before but I will in the future! and gotoh machine heads.

The bass has a lovely comfy shape fitted hardshell case, plus a compartment for your allen keys/tuner etc (worth 70/80 quid on its own IMHO). The strings are d'addario. I'm looking for £375 on collection but will post at half the fee. If no interest soon I'm going to turn it into an exciting flashy project which I'll show you guys on the forum . Any question/photos needed gimme a shout. I will part exchange towards something or bundle my basses/amps if i'm interested.

Cheers

Oli

Hi Basschatters,

Up for sale, with pictures this time, is my Mint A1 Condition Cort A6. I bought this fully setup imported from the USA to Penrith Guitar Fayre for £800. RRP £900.

It has a 5 piece Maple/wenge thru neck body at 34" - This doesn't affect the clarity of the B string and the string tension is nice and high. The bartolini Mk1 pickups act as a ramp so it's a VERY fast player and shouldn't be a problem even for a four string player (like me ). The bass has custom platinum hipshot hardware (well I haven't seen it anywhere else!) and a fishman preamp to give a love mid range punch. You can play any style you wish on this bass, its very versatile. The strings are the d'addario set, which are lovely and bright. The body is a lovely flamed maple with a rosewood fretboard.

I had been looking for a six string under a grand for ages and tried the ESP, Ibanez SR and BTB, Yamaha TRB - this one won out, and its the only thru neck. Its a lot like a Tobias, but if you need reviews harmony central has loads. As for youtube the videos of this model have a pretty bad sound quality, and the one that does have a good sound - the guys using distortion . Gimme a shout if you have any questions.

Price drop to £375 with Gig Bag and P&P included

Reason for Selling: Can't afford to keep it at current.

[attachment=23300:Picture_027.jpg][attachment=23299:Picture_018.jpg]

Yours is the 6th that I've seen now! Although I've never seen that finish ever before. I think each model is unique, but I'm not too sure on that - can I ask the serial no. please?? Theres one about to go on ebay if you want to look for a rough price estimate, I would say its an easy £900 depending on the dings - could you describe them if their not visible through the paintjob.

Judging by the bridge, 6 bolts and string thru body, I bet the sustains pretty damn wicked. BUMP!!

Damn I missed this one

The gold hardware on the red maple quilt is amaaaazing, nicest fretless I've seen in a while. Gotta love those maple lines, be lost without em!

I never said the price was good nor was I condoning what he was doing, all I said was that telling him it was taking the mick was the realm of private conversation now that he's no longer returning (as he has stated) its all academic. No hypocrisy there![/quote]

Haha

[quote name='josh3184' post='435584' date='Mar 15 2009, 10:01 PM']C+ must try harder



In all fairness he was taking the piss with the price [/quote]

Hypocrite

[quote name='josh3184' post='435397' date='Mar 15 2009, 06:34 PM']to be perfectly honest, I thought that price queries were the realms of PMs?[/quote]

I wasn't going to make an offer, I was just browsing and discussing the vintage basses.

I think you should be able to consider prices with other basschatters because then the less experienced players won't get a poor deal.

Slotted headstock or not, it ain't worth £1300, perhaps his ebay price is better...

I don't care whether he's trying to rip us off because were on a bass forum.

EB's are still one of the most limiting basses I know.

Bump for a wicked bass tutor and the best value price for a CIJ I've seen. I'd say it was a 70's reissue - looks like theres holes for a bridge pickup cover in the tortoise shell pickguard.

Regards Oli Matt

Im new and I think your asking a dopey price anyway.

[quote name='alanbass1' post='427599' date='Mar 6 2009, 09:29 PM']Nice playing[/quote]

I agree that was well good!! Haha wasn't expecting the bollywood thought the link was a joke!!! Liked the song too

Really don't understand why you'd sell those two. If I had them two and an EBS rig I wouldn't know what else there was to buy, be sorted for life.

[quote name='largo' post='411848' date='Feb 17 2009, 12:01 PM']I think someone's been sick all down your bass, hehehe.[/quote]

Exactly I'd agree with that!!! Lovely quality thing but that top looks gross.

This Bass has been withdrawn, I'm keeping it. Thank you to those who made offers and had a look!

Kind regards - Oli Matthews

New pictures!!!

Looking to trade for a semi acoustic bass or a hard rock bass or money...

Oli

Final bump to the top before being withdrawn by the end of this week 22/02/09. For those of you that were interested, I've got confirmation that the bass is one of Bernie's originals but I'm still chasing him up about details.

Cheers Oli

Just writing to say this bass will have a full professional setup by mid next week. Hardware Lubricated, Electronics checked and Cleaned, Frets Redressed, Neck angle set and Action Lowered.

Cheers Oli

WITHDRAWN

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='390872' date='Jan 25 2009, 12:26 PM']No - I wasn't suggesting that your bass was a GB.

It's not Graham's bass. Graham still has his bass.

No, he doesn't have employees. He pays for the basses to be finished by a third party. They don't work for GB. They do work for GB.

I'm not being an arse - just relaying the message from Bernie.[/quote]

I wasn't implying you were an arse, i'm just trying to avoid it looking like i'm selling a bass with a made up description. Thank you for asking Bernie about it, I'll have to send him some pics for more info

Cheers Oli

[quote name='lowdown' post='389596' date='Jan 23 2009, 02:30 PM']I had one of these about seven years ago [ darker woods ]
took it to Bernie for a repair, and he did not want anything to do with it..
I believe mine was put together in Northen Ireland.
It was a fantastic Bass to play.

Nice finish on yours.[/quote]

Hey Lowdown,

Thanks for the comment! I've only seen two others than mine, a Paduk body fretless and a Bubinga/mahogany body one, somebody sold on this forum. It does play really well, very easy to set up too, luckily for me. Although I am considering getting a professional setup and a hardshell case for it this weekend. Do you have a case for yours just out of interest?

Cheers Oli

OK guys - here's the guide from the man.

Hi EBS freak,

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't saying that the Bass was a GB I was merely referring to the link between their present company and the Goodfellow Classic Bass. Thanks for the video, the bass in that looks exactly like mine except I can't see the Dense Maple Quilt, but thats probably because of the gloss and the light. Again just in case you wanna accuse me of saying that it's Graham Gouldman's bass - i'm not, I've never detached the neck to look at the inscription. As for the distinctive knob which is different to bridge and the others, all the Goodfellow Classics I have seen all have the same, including the one on your video. AND!! so he does have employees doesn't he? In all honesty I don't mind if he does have employees doing the finishes, he still makes 5 star quality handmade basses as reviewed in Bass Guitar Magazine. I'm just trying to sell/trade one of his older models. The bass has all the features you said make an original, but I still question the distinctive hardware bit. Can you tell me about the Lowden era bit please? Also if theres any extra photos you'd like me to put, gimme a shout.

Regards Oli
