  1. Was browsing t'bay as is my wont, and I came across these............. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250140503863&ssPageName=MERC_VI_RSCC_Pr8_PcY_BIN_Stores_IT&refitem=250162706500&itemcount=8&refwidgetloc=active_view_item&usedrule1=StoreCatToStoreCat&refwidgettype=cross_promot_widget"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...s_promot_widget[/url] I was looking for fret lights and found this company who make light up sctratchplates.......they had a pic of P with one on and I can't decide if it's really cool or the tackiest thing I've ever seen ! S
  2. Given that it has a few custom options ( the colour and the binding ) I don't think the price is OTT. It looks in great nick and is a killer bass. I have the 5 string version ( ( L-2500 - strung with TI Jazz Flats ) and it's my "go to" bass........it's just sooooooo comfortable to play and with a great range of sounds.......even with the flats on. You might pick up one a little cheaper, I know a couple of folks on here have picked them up really cheaply, but you might not get a nicer one. At the end of the day these things are only worth what you want to pay, but at £700 it's certainly not outrageous. Stewart
  3. +1 for Maple. I have maple on both my StingRay 5 and G&L L-2500 ( both "Fender derived" ) and they are the Poodles Plums. Having said that, I may just be about to pull the trigger on another Fender derivitive with a rosewood neck. Now, I am a big, sweaty guy, and I've NEVER had a problem with dirty necks, the StingRay is 12 years old, the G&L about 18, both look fine. I only have to look at a camera lens and it's covered in greasy fingerprints !! There you go, maybe the grease keeps them clean ! S
  4. A BUMP for a great piece of kit.....mine has done over 200 flights and is still going strong. A REAL bargain a t this price. In fact............................. S
  5. £28 ain't bad................from a fellow Weegie, I've paid a lot more than that in the past ! Now why don't you buy any of my For Sale kit and I'll deliver FOC ?? ( Very nice Mesa Boogie 400 +, Asdown ABM 810 - cheep as chips - and the truly incredible Basson B210B ) Much cheepness !! Oh, and good luck with the courier stuff too...... S
  6. Cheers Ped, you answered this before I even saw it !! S
  7. I've found it to cut through really nicely with my G&L 2500, but needed a very little tweak using my stingray ( both 5'ers btw ). You must remember this was using my Mesa/Boogie 400+, an amp not renowned for a pronounced mid range !! If it was just a little bit smaller and lighter my arthritic joints would cope and I wouldn't be selling it at all. In fact if I could g'tee every load in was flat, I'd deffo keep it. It's a killer cab. S
  8. Thank you Mr B'zilla...........cheques in the post !! S
  9. It's in great nick, works a dream, has been carefully looked after, don't want anyone to get the wrong idea here. Sorry only looking for cash.....I need something light, and have something in mind. S
  10. Cheers your Pedness, we should hook up and compare ailments !! My pillbox is bigger than you pillbox....................... S
  11. Sorry Ben, but at the moment I need the cash to fund further lighter gear. Thanks for asking though, and good luck selling your great little combo. Stewart
  12. Ok so you are probably bored with my medical history by now, so I'll spare you the details. This is an amazing cab, full specs are here - [url="http://www.bassonsound.com/b210b.htm"]http://www.bassonsound.com/b210b.htm[/url] That's right, 500 watts at 4ohm, tuned down to a bowel moving 28hz. Just stunning. I regularly use this cab on it's own with the MesaBoogie 400+ and it sounds amamzing ( I play in a 9 piece soul/funk/disco corporate band ) and this cab has completely restored my faith in the 2x10 format. It is by far and away the best 2x10 I have ever used or heard. It's bigger than most 2x10's but OMG it's worth it. In very good condition with the optional castors ( you could put them on your car ), this is a stunning cab for only £200. Stewart
  13. As you will see from my other ad, I am very reluctantly moving on equipment I can no longer manage to move. Ain't arthritis a bitch Anyway, this is the older style cab with ( the preferred ) Celestion drivers, and is rated 4ohms at 1200 watts so its a beast of a cab. Cosmetically it's seen better days, although I stress it's not a shed. It could just do with some tidying up. If that's your thing. I play corporate gigs with it and it's ok for that level. Sonically it's A1. I'll get it out of the back of the van and take some snaps soon as I'm able. Yours for £300. Stewart
  14. I have somewhat unwillingly decided to sell this head. I have arthritis which is not getting any better and much as I DO love this head - and I really do - it's just getting too much for me to move. You all know what this head does, full specs are here - [url="http://www.mesaboogie.com/Product_Info/Bass_Amps/Bass_400_/bass_400_.html"]http://www.mesaboogie.com/Product_Info/Bas.../bass_400_.html[/url] This one comes in a 6U Shockmount Flightcase, and if the price is right I'll throw in a Behringer Tuner which has fancy downlights to make the head look pretty. It is in very good condition, and comes with an almost full set of valves ( except the one that failed ) and was revalved within the last 18 months or so. Priced to go at £950 ovno Stewart
  15. You could make me an offer for my Mesa/Boogie 400 + .....................all valve lovliness wrapped in a 6U shockmount flightcase to keep it...nice. It's got volume in spades..............and I happen to be shifting an Ashdown ABM810 cab too.......this has got to be right up your street boyo !! You might even get it at a good price if your quick before I advertise it. Stewart
  16. Just a quickie.......have sent you a PM, but in case you don't see it you can steal my old Ashdown ABM810 for £300, then if you decide you like the sealed 810 cabs, sell it to someone else for £300 and buy a new Ampeg. Jobs a good 'un, who do I send the cab too Stewart
  17. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  18. My older ABM810 has eight Celestions in it..................they're the original speakers. I'm told - although I'm biased I suppose - they're better than the Bluelines. S
  19. I know less than hee haw about Mark Bass gear............................. I do however know 'kin good bass playing when I hear it.............inspirational stuff young Nate.....the KT Tunstall of the bass world !!! S
  20. I KNOW I don't need to say this, but for my own piece of mind here goes.............. Make sure when you are soldering, that all speakers are protected incase the tiniest bit of hot solder falls off the joint ( espicially if you are soldering the top of the two speakers ) I KNOW you'll do this but I'd be gutted for you if you accidentally damaged a speaker at this stage. Sorry, S
