I have decided to scale down my not so extensive collection of amps and cabs etc., and keep my PJB Suitcase combo and 4B cabinet on the grounds of portability and quality. (I did buy a Mini Brute I from Clarky but my son has "borrowed" it.) However, here is "big brother " in the Polytone Mini Brute series - 100 watts plus through a 15" speaker, volume, treble and bass controls plus a "cut and boost" switch. It also has a jack socket for an extension cabinet ( I have been advised that the cabinet must be 8ohm minimum) this appears to be good advice as I connected my 4B cab and the volume increased noticeably. It's portable, 17" wide, 18" high 10" deep and weighs approx 28lbs. Delivery to the successful buyer will be by courier and the amp will be professionally packed. The price ? A mere £350.00.

Rhino is a great chap as well. Buy with confidence in both.[/quote] Many thanks for your complimentary remarks - I'm sure you're right !! Cheers, Rhino.

[quote name='cd_david' post='189108' date='Apr 30 2008, 06:37 PM']Does the combo have the front flight case lid? I used to have one of these and ALSO regret getting rid of it! A middle aged woman was looking in the mirror one night, sighing she turned to her husband and said "Im old, fat and ugly, please pay me a compliment" The husband looks up and says, "Your eyesight is still good!" Dave[/quote] Hi Dave Yes, it does have the front flight case lid. From the amount of comment and reverence attaching itself to the Dynacord, I think I should find a suitable cave and charge bass players a nominal £1 per visit to include jamming along with a 12 bar of their choosing Other musicians: £10.00 per visit, no favours. As for drummers, well, £20 per visit to include a free wipe of their mouths to make sure that they are dribbling from both sides. You may know that I live in West Yorkshire, so if you are ever passing by, let me know and you can call in and pay your respects to the "Great One". Rhino.

Bloke goes to the doctor Doctor-"How can I help you" Patient-"I'm getting some strange sounds from my rear end,specifically every time I fart it goes Honda" Doctor-"Very strange indeed,please drop your trousers and bend over. The doctor has a good look and tells the man to pull his trousers up again. Patient-"Well Doctor,is it serious?" Doctor-"You seem to have an abcess" Patient-"But why the sound?" Doctor-"Have you never heard the saying,Abcess makes the fart go Honda" Nice combo and BUMP[/quote] What have I started? Rhino.

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='187358' date='Apr 28 2008, 04:50 PM']And there was me thinking it would have four 12" speakers, eh! Those crazy Germans ...[/quote] They have never got over the Brits nicking the Enigma machine and consequently their mathematical ability has been somewhat impaired. However, I have worked out how a 1 x 15" combo is designated the model name & number "BS412" B is the 2nd letter in the english alphabet and S is the 19th so , here goes: 219 plus 412 = 631 - 6+3+1 = 10: 10 x 50% (war time inflation) =5 , 10 + 5 = 15 !!!! Did you know that during WW2, the germans parachuted into Butlins at Minehead a couple of times and attempted to hide in the chalets ? Fortunately, on their last visit they were seen by a young man riding a bike in circles who reported his sighting to the police and then sat down and wrote the famous song " Rhine Troops Keep Falling On Minehead". Rhino.

S O L D I decided to buy the combo for gigs with a rock band as I had used the gear in the early 1970's, was impressed with the quality and it didn't seem too heavy at that time. The quality is still there but the weight appears to have tripled. and the rock band's bass player is not leaving. On to the technical stuff. 250 watts through an Electrovoice 15" via a 7 band graphic Eq, plus treble and bass rotary controls, usual send & return facility, a compressor, and a distortion unit (?). See pictures. This combo is LOUD, punchy,and clean or dirty, whatever you want. I am quite happy to let it go for £300 and in view of the weight, 42kilos, the size, 68cm high, 67 cms wide and 40cm deep I will deliver it within a 100 mile radius of Leeds for £25 or meet halfway if over 100 miles. If a buyer is found, I will split the money and donate it to the Parkinson's Society and another charity to be the choice of the buyer. You know it make sense. Rhino. S O L D .

[quote name='Clarky' post='185312' date='Apr 25 2008, 02:22 PM']Hi there - thanks for offer but looking for cash as have my cab set-up sorted (Aguilar GS112 for small gigs/practices and MArkbass 106 for bigger gigs) - plus just forked out over £700 for a new Markbss R500 head so a bit short at the moment! I would take £200 plus delivery costs (I am in London) if you're interested? Clarky[/quote] Hello, I'm OK at £200 plus cabinet. I'll speak to a local courier and see if it's possible to deliver my 4B to you and collect your mini brute for a return load. Moneywise, I could arrange a bank transfer direct into whatever account you wish. The other option is that I drive down to London and we meet wherever and exchange goods and cash. What do you think? Regards, Rhino

[quote name='Clarky' post='173257' date='Apr 9 2008, 04:11 PM']Hi, new forumite here. I have a Polytone MiniBrute 1 bass combo (with 12 inch speaker; metal grill) which I bought 10 years ago from the old Bass Centre in Wapping for £450 for use with a double bass. In the end I didn't get on with the double bass and the amp has been sat in my study for about 8 years unused (and never gigged). It is essentially as new without a scratch. Anyone any idea what its worth (Bass Gallery has had a s/h one for sale for £450 for quite a time now so its obviously less than that)? Any interest in it? I am based in central London. Cheers Clarky[/quote] Hi Clarky, Would you be interested in part exchanging your Mini Brute 1 for my PJB 4b cab, as new and with custom made cover, plus £100.00 cash ? Cheers, Rhino

[quote name='Toasted' post='160637' date='Mar 20 2008, 10:04 AM']Whoda thought it? A WW amp tech less than 10 minutes from where I live. Who is it? Surely not based at Spectre Sound?[/quote] It's Ambertronics (Chris Taylor) 20, Clyde Street, Bingley. 01274 569295 www.ambertronics.co.uk Cheers, Rhino.

WALTER WOODS AMPS Hi, Which model do you have ? It should have it on the underside. Anyroad up, I can fax you / e-mail an "instruction manual" (3 pages) which includes a"schematic" diagram of the circuitry involved details of an amp tech in Bingley, Yorkshire, whom I would recommend wholeheartedly, and an address for WW in California. Basically, you set the amp up as follows, input volume 3pm., master volume at 10am and the three tone pots at 12am/pm I haven't had any trouble with the WW since I bought it but I wouldn't personally send the amp back to WW in fear of damage and theft whilst "en route" As a matter of interest, I am using an Aerodyne Jazz bass into my WW MI 100-8 through two PJB 4B cabinets which sounds superb and I also have a PJB Suitcase combo which I can use singly or coupled up with a PJB 4B cabinet. The difference in sound between WW and PJB is that the WW sounds more like a valve amp compared to the PJB 200 watt amp in the combo. I hope I have been of help, Rhino.

[quote name='Status' post='112169' date='Jan 2 2008, 11:10 AM']Very interested in this but can you confirm a bit more information about the condition. Any dinks, fret wear or other issues?[/quote] Two dinks above bridge, just visible on the picture, no fret wear, (4 gigs in two years) no other issues . Cheers, Rhino

Because I am inept as far as working with computers is concerned and how 5 pictures appeared I do not know . One of life's great mystery's i suppose. Rhino.
