  1. PRICE DROP £975

     

    Boutique UK built all valve bass amp which achieved near cult status on this forum during its development in  NE (and only a handful built to date) my Stoneham YI200 head and matching 4 x 10 cab. Converted to run on 6550 valves (like an Ampeg) by Martin Stoneham, head is housed in a swan flight case, and is much lighter than a Marshall VBA400 head,  the cab is loaded with Celestion BN10-200 speakers and comes with a custom cover. Cab is very light and on castors. Monster sounding rig for any genre and looks great .

     

    Specification:

    280w rms, 4 x 6550 power valves

    Fully hand-wired, turret board construction stainless steel chassis

    Weight 18Kg

    XLR D.I output

     

    Current price for head only is £1499, so nearest to. £1050 secures both,

     

    Meet up in NE or Yorkshire possible but courier is not feasible unless organised by a buyer but collection from near York preferable.

     

    Gigs with my Free tribute band are few and far between so needs to be used, it is floor shaking and so deep but clear as a bell with my old EB3 and 77 Jazz, this really recaptured the sound of my Marshall Superbass 100 and 2 4x12’s without the exceptional heavy weight 😎

     

    Both head and cab are in excellent condition.

     

    Any Vanderkley Spartans or vintage Fenders would be a great trade 😎

  2. Reducing my studio and live set ups so this great DI can go to a new home, I use it with either my Stoneham YI200 head  or with my Vanderkley Aurora  to FOH and it is a very real sounding DI, great for the Jameson sound or for your guitarist to nail Steve Cropper but it has a magic to it that I can only say needs to be heard compared with other either inbuilt DI or externals.

     

    The Acme Audio Motown DI WB-3 brings the exact character of the original 1960’s Motown DI box.

    The Acme Audio Motown DI WB-3 is built to exacting standards with the same materials as the original unit to recreate the unmistakable tone of those classic records. Unlike most similar units, the Motown DI Wolf Box-3 doesn’t exhibit Low-frequency magnetic saturation which makes it an ideal audio interface / level converter as well as giving providing your sound artillery with a piece of audio legend.

    Although Al Sutton painstakingly designed the unit to exacting standards, few modern appointments have been introduced, such as an improved variable attenuator to accommodate high-level input and a custom made rugged steel case.

    Specifically made transformers in these units are built by the original manufacturer after 35 years to provide the exact same performance true to the original.

    The original Motown DI was a significant part of the Motown sound and were designed by Edward Wolfdrum in the late 50’s were immediately loved by Motown greats for its unique and colourful distortion that can be heard on classic records becoming their signature sound.

     

    There are a number of great reviews on line and they rarely appear "preloved" and the price will include postage.

  3. Sensible offers anyone or a guaranteed £1800, nothing else comparable at that price😞 Currently £2499 at Bass Direct so a significant saving for someone.

     

    Time to admit that my attempts with Fender Jazz 5s, Allevo Coppola 5s, Sadowsky Modern 5s and now my exceptionally light Sadowsky Metroline 2022 Will Lee 5  I have come to the realisation that I am a 4 string player favouring  both my Fodera Monarch and my Sadowsky Modern for most gigs (not forgetting the old EB3 for my Free tribute excursions).

     

    This immaculate Will Lee 5 is exceptional as you would expect from Sadowsky and does sound great with the mid boost feature and the neck for a 5 is easy to play. The previous owner d_g of this parish (who knows his basses) upgraded the bridge and has attached block fret stickers from Jockomo (which are easily removed) and the pickups are upgraded to Bartolini B Axis .

     

    Would swop for a Metroline Will Lee 4 or sell for a very reasonable £1900 NOW £1800 with shipping at buyers cost (cardboard box available).

     

    Any trial most welcome.and cold drinks/coffee always available

  4. PRICE DROP £60

     

    The only pedal IMHO that nails the drive sound of a Marshall Super  Bass or Super Lead head as heard on many late 69’s early 70’s you know that sound !!!!!

     

    Switchable jumper inside between both models.

     

    in good condition having been on my pedal board but currently downsizing my set up as current musical projects do not require that classic sound 

     

    Price included postage
